TheVectornaut on Wolf Pack

I have a mono green wolf deck that I might be able to offer some suggestions from. My deck is mostly built around using Silverfur Partisan with multitarget spells like Strength of the Tajuru or Setessan Tactics to get a huge army which can then be leveraged for further value with the likes of Shamanic Revelation and Cryptolith Rite. Since you already have Band Together and some other combat tricks, Partisan could be a pretty good fit here without needing many changes. One mechanic I also like in wolves is kinship on Wolf-Skull Shaman. Not only are a lot of wolf-adjacent cards elves (Wren's Run Packmaster, both Tolsimirs, 5 of your own creatures), but many shamans can also benefit wolf token spam (Essence Warden, Master of the Wild Hunt, Nullmage Shepherd, Ulvenwald Tracker, Wild Beastmaster, etc.) If I was going to cut anything, I'd probably start with the non-Garruk black cards followed by some of the somewhat unneeded ramp and Hydra's Growth which you don't even have a trample target for. You could even consider rotating into Naya to play Voja, Jaws of the Conclave as a bomb.

Thank you Craeter for your comment!

I wish Verity Circle was worded differently, but unfortunately as you guessed it would do nothing here.

One of my goals is to make this deck casual and fun, so I ruled out Opposition as a heinous card. Archelos can be salty enough by himself; I will tap him for mana through cards like Citanul Hierophants or Cryptolith Rite at the end of my turn.

I aim to get value out of my lands coming into play untapped, and exploiting things like Thawing Glaciers to get triggers and ramp. I have various possible wincons, one of them being to turn lands into creatures and attack, although I think I need to make room for Earth Surge for this to be a viable option.

I can also win with mill using Phenax, God of Deception. This works fast with Murkfiend Liege on the board.

Then there are the obvious ones, Rampaging Baloths and Avenger of Zendikar

Conduit of Worlds is a good idea, I am not sure I was aware of that card, thank you. I don't think Druid Class and Lifegift make the cut.

Glad you liked the story!

Looks pretty good. I'm no Dino expert, but it does look like the predominate Red costs would dictate more Mountains and less Swamps and Foests in general. As for ramp, Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx could work with the high Red devotion. Since you have Green, you also have access to ramp staples like Cultivate and you've already got Kodama's Reach. Other possibilities: Explore, Cryptolith Rite, Flare of Cultivation, Migration Path. You could also do Gamble to try to tutor a powerful enchantment, and/or Demonic Tutor.

Amoeboid Changeling, Cryptolith Rite, Mana Echoes, Patriarch's Bidding, Leeching Sliver, Hatchery Sliver and Shadow Sliver all seem very nice additions.

Sweet deck! I like the mass drain strat, seems like it would be very effective if the table lets you live past turn 5. I know mine wouldn't! I highly recommend Furystoke Giant, Birthing Pod, and Phyrexian Altar, the first of which especially for your style of deck, the amount of damage you can get off that giant is pretty unreal especially if you're not pumping tokens to attack, which seems accurate for this deck. I also think you underrated Vicious Shadows, though it might be more redundant in your deck it can push out tons of damage and is great for taking out those pesky blue players. Orcish Bowmasters and Cryptolith Rite have also been all stars in my deck, I'd highly recommend at least testing them out. Hatred could also be a super fun way to get a surprise win off something like Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord. Thanks again for your comment on my deck, Prossh EDH Tokens/Sac, and I hope you like the suggestions!

Rhadamanthus on Does card:Mana Reflection double the …

@Caerwyn: I think I was using the word "gain" in my searches instead of "have". Thanks, I'll be sure to remember that for next time.

@JoyTheEnbySliverLover: If this is a commander deck then you should definitely find room for all of those. The redundancy will help your consistency a lot. If this is a "regular" 60-card casual deck then I think maybe 3 copies of Cryptolith Rite will do it.

Rhadamanthus - I did a Gatherer search for "creatures you control have" "add" and ":" (so it would have an activated ability somewhere in the text), and came up with a few options. It is a bit over-inclusive, but with only 17 results, it is pretty easy to parse through the non-responsive options. Link to search.

I expect the card you are thinking of is Cryptolith Rite, which is a pretty darn good card and all around better than Relic of Legends.

(Edit: Looks like my post was preempted and OP found the card already!)
