Update 2

Cards cut:

All red cards cut going Bant instead of Jeskai

Jace, Unraveler of Secrets

Cards Added:

1xBasri Ket- as early game Elspeth for token generation to either attack my opponent or defend my walkers

2xKiora, the Crashing Wave- because her +1 protects my walkers, her -1 is ramp and draw all in one and her ult brings a big boy to the field each turn which is nice even if it can be chump blocked

2xTeferi, Master of Time his +1 is draw, his -3 again protects my walker and me from creatures artifact and enchants for a turn has phasing might as well be a bounce effect with added benefit that it doesn't trigger enter or left the battlefield effects at instant speed. And his +10 which granted will be hard to get to but if does happen two extra turns.

1xTeferi, Hero of Dominaria- Oloro_Magic explained better than why i should add this card

3xForest

2xTemple Garden

2xHinterland Harbor

2xBlind Obedience- mainly to slow my opponents down but has extort to keep me alive a little longer and to kill my opponent a little faster

2xDig Through Time- for its Scry 7 add 2 to your hand

added to side board Archetype of Imagination to hate against flying deck as none of tokens have flying though Elspeth, Sun's Champion ult could give them that.

Azeworai on Will Xenagos Return in Zendikar?

Now, do bear with me here.

In the last few sets, a meiny of planeswalkers have been returning to us. In War of the Spark there are a fair few to count, Elspeth in Theros Beyond Death, and _ in _Throne of Eldraine there was Garruk.

Consider one other point, for there are planeswalkers for every single and double colour combination. Specifically I am speaking of the guilds, as it is Kaya in Orzhov, Ajani, in Selesnya, Ashiok in Dimir, Angrath in Rakdos, Kiora in Simic, Dovin in Azorius, Vraska in Golgari, the perfidious Royal Scions in Izzet, and Nahiri in Boros.

Xenagos may have the contender against two planeswalkers for Gruul, being Arlinn and Samut, yet Samut hasn't much of a reason to go to Zendikar, as there are no werewolves, and Samut is an adherent to her people upon Amonkhet, thus she mayn't leave them to journey elsewhere.

Xenagos has two points going for him. One, he is fond of power. He ascended to that of a deity, lead revelers oppugning the gods and goddesses of Theros, and he was arrogant whilst doing so. Secondly, we don't know if he died. He fell from Nyx, but was never told to have a splat, as he could have planeswalked away. Also, Theros has an afterlife, but I doubt WOTC would use that excuse twice.

Perhaps I am reaching, but Xenagos has some of my favourite art in the game and I'd like to see him return.

Thoughts?

Elmalco Nifty deck idea!

Have you thought about Kiora, the Crashing Wave or Kiora, Master of the Depths? I think they would work well with the theme of large sea bois. If you can get them to ultimate range, that is.

Also, the new card Ominous Seas will pair really well with your Greater Good

I do think Savage Knuckleblade is good and could be great in a deck like this. In situations where both you and your opponent have very few cards in hand, it can be a great mana sink that can take games. I do agree that Prime Speaker Zegana is bad (6 mana cards should help you go from a losing to a winning position, this is a win-more card) and think that the old Kiora, the Crashing Wave would be better than the new one. On that note, an interesting direction would be a Kiora fog deck that slams bombs in the late-game.

Serpent of Yawning Depths, Simic Sky Swallower, and Kederekt Leviathan are pretty dece-o cards.

Kiora, the Crashing Wave, Kiora Bests the Sea God, and Reef Worm are all solid flavor wins as well.

Change log:

• Thassa, God of the Sea --> Kiora, the Crashing Wave

This planeswalker is only really useful for the -1 option, if you get it twice it's great value.

• Terrain Generator --> Homeward Path

Homeward path protects against theft effects.

• Kenrith's Transformation --> Curse of the Swine

Curse can hit as many targets as you require.

• Tireless Tracker --> Nissa, Vastwood Seer  ^Flip

Tireless Tracker is too slow and requires spare mana.

• Khalni Heart Expedition --> Walking Atlas

Better ramp upgrade.

• Harrow --> Wood Elves

More creatures to shore up against sac strategies.

• Managorger Hydra --> Primal Order

Primal order is a powerful wincon when you only run a maximum of 5 non-basic lands.
