Wildsize is an easier cut as it doesn't really have any situations where I'd rather see that in my hand than something else. So many other spells in the deck do essentially the same thing but for cheaper.

Wild Shape is a bit trickier, as 2 of the 3 choices could be useful. However, there are better protection spells to run, and I've found that turning something into a 3/3 with trample is never as effective as it seems in theory. (Think about those spells like Pongify, the 3/3 with trample isn't much of a reparation.)

I personally have my doubts about Blighted Agent and Corrupted Conscience, but mostly with Blighted Agent. If you draw the agent and not the conscience, the agent will quite likely be counter-productive, as you'll spend cards and mana trying to buff it only for an opponent to remove it on their turn, and now you'll be potentially several cards down with no way to use the poison counters you've just given your opponent. Sure, Blighted Agent starts being really good if you cast it together with Corrupted Conscience, but on it's own it's not particularly useful, so I would cut it to avoid that possibility.

I would probably take out Return to Nature, I've found it to be a relatively weak removal spell and tend to have more luck with cards like Nature's Claim, but I understand that there are some budget concerns with that.

I'm generally not much of a fan of cards like Resculpt, 2 mana to get rid of a creature isn't that bad but your other removal options are a lot better since they also target your creatures. I would cut that for sure.

I would consider cutting Refresh. It's a good protection spell, but 3 mana is probably a bit more than the spell is really worth. Though this one could very much go either way.

The last cut is one of your basic lands. For the kind of deck you're running, you don't need 36 lands, 35 is probably a better number and maybe even as low as 34 depending on how your games tend to go. With all the card draw you have, you're way more likely to hit land drops even if you have fewer land cards. Plus, you have a good amount of ramp, and not that many expensive spells, so that's less of a concern.

So, in short, my cuts are Wildsize, Wild Shape, Blighted Agent, Return to Nature, Resculpt, 2 basic lands, and perhaps Corrupted Conscience and Refresh.

Good luck narrowing down the list further! Sorry I can't help all that much.

SirQuixano on bears

I would personally look into changelings, which are all creature types at the same time, so they count as bears. Universal Automaton is a good cheap one, alongside Game-Trail Changeling , which can be good lategame due to trample, Webweaver Changeling can block fliers, Changeling champion is quite large for its cost, and Chameleon Colossus can get big fast. The latter two are a bit pricey, but they work. Biogenic Upgrade is also nice for the lategame to make certain bears absolutely ridiculous. If you want to keep a bear alive, like your commander, I'd suggest cards like Regeneration , Carapace , Gaea's Embrace , Refresh , Serpent Skin , and Seedling Charm . Looks like a neat deck overall.

I am looking for cards similar to Null Profusion , Recycle , and Experimental Frenzy for a jund goblin deck. I don't yet have the deck on tapped out, as it is still just in theory.

RedmundR2 on Adding more control to a …

GodCyphus If your friends dont the play cards TMBRLZ mentioned that state no regeneration, you can try Asceticism. It won't help against board wipes since hexproof only denies targeting, but the cost regenerate is absolutely awesome.

If youre not playing Modern format rules, you can also add in regenerate cards like Seedling Charm or Refresh as well.

As previously mentioned Golgari has very limited options against counters and board wipes. Usually the answer is to simply outpace your opponents before they can get to the point where they can wipe your board.

Of course, you can always splash and add some counter cards for yourself, if you don't mind paying a bunch of more money for a landbase that can support those spells.
