Balaam__ on Selevesnya combo

Most decks which run Devoted Druid as part of a combo run something like Vizier of Remedies. While not Pauper legal, you’d need some type of recursive effect like that in order to turn the Druid into anything more than a worse Llanowar Elves. Unfortunately Sigil of the Nayan Gods just won’t do that, not without some other infinite-creature making combo.

What you could do is splash for Midnight Guard. That would combo into Presence of Gond for infinite creatures. But at that point, Devoted Druid + Sigil of the Nayan Gods is redundant.

The problem arises when you mentioned you’d be facing Tier 1-3 decks at your local LGS. These combos are well known, and any player worth his salt would be packing disruption to get rid of either combo piece. Without them, the deck isn’t powerful enough to stand on its own in any meaningful way.

Pedruvan on Selevesnya combo

Hello, here is my first pauper deck. I will play it at my LGS mainly against meta deccks (tier 1 to 3). I built it because i want to play an original deck and above all i enjoy non linear gameplay. So here are the 3 lines of the deck :

  1. Combo with Devoted Druid + Presence of Gond and Sigil of the Nayan Gods or Ivy Lane Denizen. There is card draw (all the sorceries, also filling my graveyard) and Auramancer to find it and Vines of Vastwood to protect it

  2. Swarm with elves with Presence of Gond and boost them with Vines of Vastwood and Ivy Lane Denizen. I can also ramp with Devoted Druid and Vines of Vastwood

  3. Boosting the wurm via Sigil of the Nayan Gods to swing hard in the long grindy games.

I have a lot of questions and i would realy appreciate your help and advice on the deck :

  1. Do you think the deck is consistent enough ?
  2. Can it challenge (or at least have a good time playing it) against the meta decks ?
  3. What about the side ? I choosed to protect mainly against aggro decks

All advice are welcome, thanks.

PS: It hurts me to have built this because I hate elves.

Celestial Mantle, Beacon of Immortality. Any "ETB gain one life" card can go infinite if you want to include Presence of Gond and either Lurking Roper or Famished Paladin.

Thank you for the suggestion RangerOfPower! I do like Jadar, I currently use him as a token producer in my Anhelo, the Painter deck. I'll keep him on my Maybeboard for now as I continue to make adjustments from play-testing.

I'm kinda considering cutting Presence of Gond, since I have a few different combo options as-is. I'm thinking of adding another 2 cmc ramp piece, or something like a Night's Whisper or Gruesome Realization.

Hey, there! This looks really fun :)

As far as making things a little more competitive, one thing I can offer is: As someone who runs an Esper combo deck, one of the biggest things you can do for a combo deck is to make your combos synergize better with everything else in your deck, and not just each other.

Right now, I see Lurking Roper/Famished Paladin, Presence of Gond, and Healer of the Pride as an infinite combo where each piece is 1) hard to tutor, and 2) doesn't synergize with your overall gameplan of massive creatures dishing out damage.

An alternative infinite combo that synergizes better is Savage Ventmaw and Aggravated Assault, since both those cards do things with the rest of the deck without each other.

So, if I did the switch over to a more synergistic set of cards, I recommend replacing:

Ageless Entity -> Lathiel, the Bounteous Dawn

Colossal Dreadmaw -> Blossoming Bogbeast

Enduring Angel  Flip -> Archivist of Oghma - enduring angel looks dope, but your life total shouldn't hit zero.

Famished Paladin -> Faeburrow Elder

Healer of the Pride -> Serra Ascendant (just broken in EDH).

Verdant Sun's Avatar -> Old Gnawbone

Wall of Reverence -> Smothering Tithe

Presence of Gond -> Armadillo Cloak

Elemental Mastery -> Kenrith's Transformation

Alhammarret's Archive -> Aggravated Assault

The idea behind some of the picks is to get lifegain ability out a bit more consistently, and create fuel to power your giant creatures. I also don't know what your budget looks like, so full disclaimer there: some of the cards I recommended are expensive.

Happy building!

Presence of Gond combos with Famished Paladin or Lurking Roper as long as you have one of your 1 life creature etb guys out. Infinite life, elves and counters if your boss is also on board

There are a few more lands that give you life when they hit the board

Paradise Plume, Pristine Talisman

OK, as far as cards to cut : Shield Dancer, Longbow Archer, Gavony Trapper, Songstitcher and both the creatures that let your opponents draw cards.
