Prairie Stream

Land — Plains Island

(: Add or .)

Prairie Stream enters the battlefield tapped unless you control two or more basic lands.

Considering how long it's taking to get the rest of the Slow Fetch cycle (Bad River), I'm not holding my breath, afaik if a cycle is unpopular enough they just don't bother finishing it. Technically people do run those Fetches in budget builds, but the game has actively moved away from cards like that towards faster/better stuff, who cares about a bad fetchland when they're printing Triomes and the actual Fetches? Cards like this will cost you the odd game, and that's a big issue if your pod is fairly optimal.

I actually like the Prairie Stream cycle as well in some decks, so I'd like to see it finished, there aren't many typed enemy duals, and the ones that can enter untapped aren't cheap.

Since you're on a budget and have Sun Titan, you might like Bad River and Flood Plain, these can find non-Basics with Basic typing, like Prairie Stream, which can even come in untapped sometimes, if you're desperate for an untapped land you can always dig out a Basic, it's not really worse than Evolving Wilds, and they first came out in the 90s, so they have old school appeal fwiw. There are a bunch of duals that have Basic types in Allies colours (so WU and UB in your deck), Enemy colours are less printed, so the only budget options are Snowfield Sinkhole and Sunlit Marsh, and they enter tapped. When I use these older Fetch lands I like to include some ETB tapped duals because there are situations when you don't mind them, ymmv obviously.

I wonder if you shouldn't use some discard outlets like Putrid Imp, especially ones that you can use on your opponent's turn, this can dig your way through a dungeon extremely quickly I bet since you can trigger on opponent's turns more readily. Another option might be repeatable self-mill, Syr Konrad, the Grim can mill you as needed, and the opponents will be getting shaved for life while you're digging for Venture triggers.

I wonder if you should run more creatures? Sefris only cares about creatures going to the graveyard, 32 creatures isn't really a ton IMHO if your deck suffers a lot if you don't draw enough of them. If you want some decent budget creatures I could suggest some.

Oh, and you probably want a Street Wraith, and should look hard at any creature with Cycling, those would be pretty useful in here. Any looting (draw a card and then discard a card) or rummaging (discard a card and then draw a card) effects are probably very good too as a rule, but any you can use repeatedly or at instant speed allow triggers on opponent's turns.

I wish to see numerous cycles of dual lands be completed, but the cycle that I am most eager to see completed is the Battle for Zendikar dual land cycle (i.e., Prairie Stream, Canopy Vista, Cinder Glade, and so forth), because their conditions for entering the battlefiend untapped are very easy to meet and they have basic land types, and thus synergize with numerous other cards, and I now have three enemy-colored EDH decks that very much would benefit from the existence of such lands.

What does everyone else say about this? Do you have any guesses as to when WotC shall finished the Battle for Zendikar dual land cycle, or is there no way to predict that?

If you want more pillows, Agitator Ant and Kitt Kanto, Mayhem Diva are good options. The Ant is itself a second copy of Orzhov Advokist.

If you value having K&T on the battlefield as soon as possible (I do), consider running Fellwar Stone, Skyshroud Elf, Tiller Engine, Voyaging Satyr and Portent Tracker. The last three are great with your bouncelands (Azorius Chancery and the like).

If you can get the rest of Tangled Islet's cycle (Sacred Peaks, Molten Tributary, Cinder Glade, Canopy Vista, Prairie Stream), suddenly Farseek, Nature's Lore and Three Visits allow you perfect fixing of your colors.

Also, 33 lands + Bala Ged Recovery  Flip might not be enough to hit your land drops. I run 36 lands on my K&T build. Also also, Mossfire Valley, Sungrass Prairie and Skycloud Expanse help a lot on getting the right colors for your commander.

You probably want Druid of Purification in your build: it is a really strong and political removal spell. It also hits hexproofed permanents (great plus in my opinion) and never hurts you.

All in all, I hope you and your opponents have fun with this build - cheers!

multimedia on Updated Urza Precon Upgrade

Hey, on a low budget well done with upgrades so far to the precon. Research, Paradise, Padeem, Glimmervoid, Ethersworn, Extinction, Wurmcoil, the mana Myrs, Fellwar, Kappa, Raffines these are all fine upgrades.

Some cards from the precon to consider adding back in.

Bident of Thassa is very good, it's another artifact repeatable mass draw effect with Constructs. Liquimetal Torque is a mana rock for ramp or it can make Urza or Padeem an artifact and doing so makes these cards much better. If Urza is an artifact he gets all bonus for being one, gains his own menace making it easier to do Commander damage to opponent with him. 4/5 Urza without menace can still do Commander damage, but he's easier to block by opponent then if he has menace. When Padeem is an artifact it gains hexproof which increases protection a lot.

Skullclamp can be nice repeatable draw for the mana cost and by adding the mana Myrs then you added fodder that can die to draw cards when not useful anymore to make mana. You have sources of 1/1 Thopters and these pair well with Skullclamp. Armix, Filigree Thrasher is a 3 drop artifact creature to help Urza affinity and with menace it can be deceptively good repeatable creature removal.

The mana curve of the precon is very high and you haven't reduced it much. Even when not counting Extinction, Monitor, Ethersworn, Kappa and Urza Commander the mana curve here is still too high. Some cards to consider cutting to reduce the mana curve.

Shimmer Dragon of these suggestions is a good card, but it's a high mana cost creature that's not an artifact and you can get better repeatable draw from less mana cost sources such as Bident of Thassa. Angel of the Ruins is another good card of these suggestions, but Meteor Golem is also a 7 drop who removes any nonland permanent. I think Meteor is better and you don't need both Angel and Meteor. You don't need Noxious Gearhulk since Necron Deathmark is a better creature removal effect for less mana. Flash is better than menace + life gain.

My favorite budget creature with blue artifact strategies is Master Transmuter. Some of best card art and has one of the most powerful repeatable effects with artifacts for it's price. Bounce any artifact you control and because Transmuter doesn't target then put that same artifact right back onto the battlefield.

This bounce interaction can give you a lot of value with artifacts that have an ETB ability for only 1 mana to bounce. Great with Monitor and Ethersworn. With Ethersworn after bouncing choose to put another artifact from your hand onto the battlefield or nothing since then you can cast Ethersworn again next turn to cascade again. Bounce Baleful or Infiltrator to put Wurmcoil onto the battlefield and then cast Baleful or Infiltrator next turn for more draw, etc.

Transmuter has many other uses too such as can save an artifact from opponent target removal or board wipe, bounce the artifact in response and then if not a board wipe put the artifact right back onto the battlefield safe. Can even bounce itself to protect itself.

Good luck with your deck.

Deck looks sweet! Very different from what our playgroup has done in the past and I'm excited to see it play out.

Here are a few opportunities that could make the deck slightly more consistent, but obviously it's your deck and you do you. Maybe take these into consideration after playing it a few times?

  1. Knight of New Alara is cute and synergizes well with Rafiq, but I judge your multicolor count is low. I'd suggest swapping this for Mirari's Wake as it is an unconditional buff and gives you mana doubling.
  2. Two opportunities for better mana that isn't terribly expensive: swap out Prairie Stream and Seaside Citadel for Plaza of Heroes and Unclaimed Territory.
  3. Given the average Mana Value of the deck, maybe look to trim one or two more spells for a land or two (or a utility mana rock).

Caerwyn Sorry that I triggerd you with that controversal statement :). As a reminder the company that develops our cardgame is almost dead. They need us collectors and players to pay for the game - I hope we all understand that... I point to the view of alpha investments. I do not want my cards being reprinted so much that they plummet in price. I don't like that everything is budget. I also don't like that every card is 1.50$ from aliexpress with the current holo stamp. I rather enjoy it to open boxes with valuable pulls that can mitigate the price of a box of cardboard either now or in the future.

Many collectors are selling of their collection because of the current advancements of wotc not just since the '30y celebration'. Caerwyn Why do you like your cards being worth significantly less as they are worth now? Proxies and counterfits and their acceptance are lowering the demand so bluntly that whole collections are being sold away for dirt cheap. People are leaving the train no one is buying boxes is what we got now.

I want to give an example for my views. The inclusion of Prairie Stream vs Tundra is silly to you Caerwyn? My silly idea is litterally to just say that Prairie Stream will never be reprinted. Would this be so bad in your book? If guess if so its just very different opinions xD

Or another recent good move ( I think at least ). The inclusion of something sacre

I have replaced Glacial Fortress and Sunpetal Grove with Canopy Vista and Prairie Stream, because Wood Elves can find Canopy Vista, and Prairie Stream is simply to be part of the same cycle, and, if WotC ever does print enemy-colored versions of those lands, I definitely shall put the blue/green one into this deck.
