Gaea's Cradle / Growing Rites of Itlimoc  Flip?

Also I want more birds. Keeper of the Nine Gales, Augury Owl, Commander Eesha, Thieving Magpie, Ledger Shredder, Emeria Angel, Wingmate Roc, Suntail Hawk, Thrummingbird, Soulcatchers' Aerie, Airborne Aid just some ideas

Enduring Ideal with Dovescape is a classic

Spitting Image is a cool card I forgot about that one.

Overall cool list, lots of interesting cards. Like I said I'd like to see more bird stuff since the deck seems to be more about flavor than being super competitive, plus low cost flyers synergize well with Derevi!

Legendary Tribal Artifact - Dinosaur Vehicle

Trample

Whenever a Dinosaur you control attacks or crews a vehicle, create a 1/1 white Human Coward creature token with defender.

Crew 8

12/12


You get a Gaea's Cradle worth of bonus points if you understand my reference without having to look it up.

So this is the...4th or 5th or 100th iteration? I'm honestly not sure. But 4th decklist I put up.

So!!! Main goal of this deck is interaction. My interaction with the opponents is smacking you with Animar. My counterspells are reducing life to 0. My ramping is how many +1 counters can I stack on Animar before my hand runs out.

Jokes aside, the philosophy of this deck is "I'm playing Magic. You're playing Magic. I don't care what you do. I'm playing Magic on my turn. Because my turn is my turn, no matter what you play."

Obviously that has some downsides to interaction with the board. The upside is that it definitely lessens a focus on worrying about what your opponents will counter and more about who looks like they're bleeding the most, and how to get more.

Trying to focus a bit more on creatures doimg things, which is why if a creature could do it, I replaced artifacts and sorceries and instants with Creatures.

Kami of the Crescent Moon replaced Howling Mine. Mana equivalent or less is what I tried to go for. Hence why no Gaea's Cradle. I am pondering The Great Henge but I'm not sure how I'd manage it for now.

Yakuza84 I agree with your suggestions. Those are definitely swaps I would make, if budget were not a concern! I think that Gaea's Cradle could do nicely as well as streamlining the list a little more. Aiming to have a few more Regrowth style effects could help with mass removal recovery and admittedly I think the list may need some more artifact and enchantment removal as well. I feel like the deck could aim to be a tad faster so something like a Mox Diamond Cabal Coffers (Yes no tomb of yawgmoth kinda stinks but its still effective!) and Sylvan Library

WotC finally printed a creature version of Gaea's Cradle in the form of Circle of Dreams Druid. meaning that it counts itself for its own ability, so I decided to create an artifact version, since Tolarian Academy does not count itself, and here is the result of my work:

Mox Quartz Show

I kept this card very simple and straightforward, but, if anyone feels that 3 mana is too low of a cost for such a card, please let me know, and I shall make a version with a higher mana cost.

What does everyone else think about this card?

Also, as a side note, it has been years since I last played Dungeons & Dragons, so does Circle of Dreams Druid represent a specific location or element in that game? If so, I would be very disappointed, as that would limit the sets in which it can be reprinted.

TheRealSpecialK on First time card grading

Out of curiosity, which card, and why do you desire to get it graded?

The reason I ask is because MTG is different that other trading card games because the value of MTG cards are almost always determined by their playability. Generally in the MTG community, rare and valuable cards (serialized cards, Gaea's Cradle, etc.) are considered better sleeved and in a deck than graded. As such, the value of graded cards is not impacted by a high PSA grade as something like a Pokemon card would. This is because a graded card is not "playable" - it can't go in a deck because it is in a plastic case.

If you are wanting to get a card graded just for your own collection or as a treasured keepsake, then I would go with PSA. But if you are wanting to get a card graded so that you can trade it, increase its value, or show it off, I would suggest just double sleeving it. Most members of the community will not be as impressed with a graded MTG card.

Yes, the undying loop requires haste

Nature's Chosen is used primarily on Tayam but really any white creature. You then use that enchanted creature to untap Gaea's Cradle for the most part, as Cradle is a core aspect of the deck.

Whenever you have a chance to tutor, your first targets should always be either Wall of Roots or Gaea's Cradle depending on your hand.

Another example of how powerful Gaea's Cradle is, theres a loop with Sylvan Safekeeper where you can replay Cradle for more and more mana as long as you have the counters to supply this loop, for example with Leyline of Abundance or Hexdrinker
