BotaNickill on No [[rograkh]]s!!! Nah Mean

I finally had a chance to play this deck a couple times tonight, and I am happy to report, it went off on T1 and T3 and T2 for 3 wins in a row. I was Astonished. I mean, I wasn't playing against a blue Legacy deck of course, so, no Force of Wills or "whatever" to trip me up, but it was really cool to see the deck combos play out like they are supposed to! Landing those "Cheerios" one after another, and Lotus Petals and Simian Spirit Guide/Elvish Spirit Guides at just the right times to keep the deck flowing and then boom! Grapeshot!! Next turn, Goblin Bombardment!! OMG, It was glorious!! Ahh..... Wellp, Anywho....that's my story. Hope yawl are having a kickass Friday like I did! Peace! Love! Cheerios!!!

Against 60 Force of Will, a sideboarded Vexing Shusher and some more Elvish Spirit Guide is my best suggestion, but that's adding more moving parts. In the mirror match, like with most of these sort of decks, it's a coin flip. It all comes down to who gets the better opening hand, or even who goes first.

Beat 60x Chancellor of the Dross with 30x Nourishing Shoal and 30x Elvish Spirit Guide. In response to to the upkeep trigger, exile a card to cast Shoal, gain 2-4 life, and stock up on ESG until you can cast one. You can cut this to just the Shoals and a few mulligans if you don't mind the gameplay being 100% draw-go.

Beat the Shoal Spirit Guide combo with 60x Chancellor of the Forge. Start off with seven Goblins and attack hard and fast, outpacing their defenses and lifegain.

Beat CotForge with CotDross.

All of these will probably lose to Thoracle Combo.

Something like 15x Plains, 25x Force of Will, and 20x Angel's Grace would have a strong matchup against Thoracle. Counter the key cards, Grace in response to Thoracle, and wait a turn.

Also, you could try Wild Cantor instead of the Deathrite Shaman, in case you need a black mana but only have one Elvish Spirit Guide left

Things I might consider cutting:

Oblivion Crown - discard is nice but this one breaks as soon as the creature on it does - too flimsy.

Elvish Spirit Guide and Dark Ritual - let you do some pop off things if you draw the nuts, but unless you're winning with them I think they're not worth the card slot. Sure you can potentially turn two Gitrog, but unless you're set on that bucket list item, these wouldn't make the cut for me.

Putrid Imp - of your creature discard pieces, this one is the worst: no inherent upside for discard and can't even chump after you hit threshold. (I'm also squinting at Olivia's Dragoon; it's never going to contest anything important in the air so same concerns)

Riftsweeper - a glorified grizzly bear. It assuages the fear of losing a cool card to exile, but that card goes back to the library so you dont gain any card advantage from it. Unless your deck simply cannot function without one of the 99, riftsweeper doesnt help you win

Diabolic Intent and Ashnod's Altar - I don't see much in the way of token generation / reanimation, so these sac effects don't get great value IMO. yes, you can recycle a mana dork, but you may need those dorks to chump, and both cards are dead if your board has been damaged.

Triumph of the Hordes - similar to above, I don't see enough creatures/power in here for the payoff. You could pump the shit out of a Noose Constrictor, but Tainted Strike does the same at cheaper and instant speed. Arguably it lets the eldrazi titans one shot people but trust me, if you're swinging with those you're already winning.

Aetherflux Reservoir - doesn't seem useful outside of the citadel. Maybe you have more infinite combos turning this into a wincon, but I dont see them. But, I would be curious to see this playtested. Expect it to draw some aggro even if you're playing it "fairly".

Treasured Find - actually not awful, just curious why this over Eternal Witness or a similar dork


And suggested additions:

Abundance - let's you do the sick play of putting ALL LANDS IN YOUR DECK into your graveyard with the frog and a discard outlet then you have pure gas, and can reanimate the lands in any number of ways

World Shaper - no love for the land reanimator?

Elvish Spirit Guide and Simian Spirit Guide are pretty budget mana acceleration cards. Lotus Petal also isn't a Mox, so it's decent. Murmuring Mystic as well is pretty good, and Ral, Storm Conduit is really strong with Repeated Reverberation.

From the looks of it, budget isn't a great concern for you, so why not run some Moxen? Mox Amber, Mox Opal, Chrome Mox, and Mox Diamond. Jeweled Lotus is ok too, but it is a bit lost on Kinnan. Lotus Petal and Elvish Spirit Guide are more budget, tbh.

Also, Freed from the Real, Concordant Crossroads, and Mana Crypt/Mana Vault are nice. And Leyline of Abundance.

I would recommend focusing more on creature/artifact ramp than land ramp, as Kinnan will reward you handsomely for those and not so much for land ramp.
