Coiling Oracle

Creature — Snake Elf Druid

When this enters, reveal the top card of your library. If it's a land card, put it onto the battlefield. Otherwise, put that card into your hand.

wallisface, I definitely have some excellent cards in that deck with abilities that trigger when they enter the battlefield, such as Reclamation Sage, Eternal Witness, Craterhoof Behemoth, Brutalizer Exarch, Coiling Oracle, Mulldrifter Mystic Snake, or Peregrine Drake; do you agree that those creatures are excellent cards for flickering?

My bad about Terror of the Peaks. I could swear I saw you wrote on a comment that you had removed it.

As your deck is currently built, Enduring Vitality does almost nothing. The cheapest creature you have is Coiling Oracle. Dryad of the Ilysian Grove is still better. Yes, it does make Wandering Mind very slightly worse, but the entire decks just gets better. Again, you don't need to care about basic land types. Having all lands have basic land types just means they tap for all colors and, if you copy it, you get two additional land drops every turn. This highlights another things you should work on.

You seem really focusing on trying to maximise everyone single bit of synergy between cards and sometimes overlook the benefits other cards can bring to your deck. Marauding Raptor is debatle because it can kill your own creatures and copying it might no be the best. Instead, you focused on not having enough dinosaurs, which is the irrelevant part of the card. If you look at MTGtop8, you'll see thay it's used in some dinosaur decks, but quite a few other decks without dinosaurs also use it. Same goes for Intrepid Paleontologist. I have a Nethroi, Apex of Death without a single dinosaur. In that deck, it just works as a mana dork that's also graveyard hate. Think of it as Scavenging Ooze thar also generates mana.

Heroic Intervention is one of those cards that is good to have redundancy. If you copy it, then opponents will need to counter it twice to interact with your board.

Thanks for the suggestions! I really like Winding Way especially. Ghostly Flicker I'm not as sure on, but you're absolutely right it would work really well with Coiling Oracle and Archaeomancer, but if I added both I'd turn this into a more familiars type of list with your suggestions and cut back on the lands.

In testing on modo I've found that I almost have too many additional land effects in the deck, so I guess I could start there when looking to fit in Winding Way at least. Do you have any suggestions on cards to cut? It feels tight even though I'm still brewing around with it. While I said earlier that I may have too many additional land effects in the deck, Arboreal Grazer gives me great ground game against red.

Hi!

This is a neat idea, have you considered adding Winding Way? It might be a good way to dig for more lands or your creatures. Something else to consider might also be flicker effects such as Ghostly Flicker which could allow you to flicker your creature etbs and allow you to add multiple additional lands to the field (it would also work if you decided to add the Coiling Oracle in your maybe board). Maybe add in Archaeomancer while you're at it if that's a style you might want to play.

Again it's a very neat idea, good luck brewing!

Udpate 18-07-2023: Trying to lean into more two colour for the theme. also d=trying to lower curve, focus on protecting PWs to actually get ultimates off, as the deck struggles to close games. Idea before was almost that any of the good stuff I find can run away with the game (assemble the legion and narset), but I don't think winning that way will be as satisfying. I think it would be good if I can get a PW out, get them to ult, and if that fails, niv to refresh hand and then give it another go.
