SufferFromEDHD thank you :D I really like your name hahaha

I really like you suggestions but I think Vitality Charm and Sprout (as well as Vine Dryad) are necessary against Fleshbag Marauder-like effects.

Concerning Avoid Fate, I have been considering it for a long time, but I believe giving my creature hexproof might be better because it beats "can't be countered" spells, but it might still be a good idea against cards that remove or prevent hexproof (like Shadowspear). Mirri's Guile is also a really good idea and on point for flavor!

The one change that would be easiest to implement would be the Birds of Paradise. I have no idea how I didn't think of that!

Thanks again for your comments!

Great list!

Avoid Fate > Vitality Charm

Mirri's Guile > Sprout

Perhaps Birds of Paradise instead of one of the elves? Flying is nice with all the auras and equipment.

Balaam__ in response to your subject of Avoid Fate:

• Guttural Response

And if you use Birds of Paradise as your dork, which would be optimal, you could use the following:

• Pyroblast
• Red Elemental Blast

Imo, I'd use Guttural but I'd thought to mention a few options!

Great stuff, this. You totally beat me to the punch with Faerie Trickery; I had the faintest of recollections that card existed, but when I did a search I must have missed flagging a parameter—it never came up. Not as big a deal for your build as you have access to {U}, but I was in dire need of some form of countermagic and Avoid Fate just wasn’t cutting it. I tip my hat and doff my cap to you.

@ veekeekee

I like that! I think I'll take out Kodama, since it's a card that makes you win more, as opposed to a card that makes you win...

I think instead of Avoid Fate, however, I'd go with Autumn's Veil.

Thanks for the contribution!

Have you considered Avoid Fate for additional protection against interruptions during your combo turn?

I find that I can always find a slot in my green decks for Avoid Fate. Any chance to protect your permanents at instant speed is a win for me.

Avoid Fate is a super spicy surprise for anyone trying to take out Kamahal. Awesome deck!!
