It just takes time and practice. don't forget that there is a play-testing function within the site! Good luck.

Mana dorks, ramp, and draw a card.

Explore,Nature's Lore,Farseek,Rampant Growth,Kodama of the West Tree,Sakura-Tribe Elder,Three Visits,Thirsting Roots, etc.

Consider lowering your 6 costs to about 4 total in the deck.

Consider lowering your 5 costs to about 7 total in the deck.

Consider lowering your 4 costs to about 9 total in your deck.

It's all about scaling, and when you effectively use ramp to push your late game, you do those things faster, and more consistently. the newly printed Abzan Monument is a cool example of how to consistently grab what you need if you do in fact want to keep casting those big costing spells. In order to do that, you must consistently ramp.

You mentioned that this was your first build all on your own so that was why I thought to give some feedback, I wish you the best of luck! +1

Andramalech on Things Betor Left Undead [Primer]

the fact this list is currently suggested as 91% casual is criminal. The playtest I had led me out with Brushland and Children of Korlis, where we turn our Ripples of Undeath after getting out an Overgrown Tombfoil. It's a choice opener that feels-good but then I went ahead with our mill; got nothing of consequence but I did draw into a Sakura-Tribe Elder "Steve"! I had Betor hit the ground a turn early, all in all it felt at least on par with what a Pre-con should be able to do. And definitely better than the pre-con they intend to put out. You're doing great work, here!

DreadKhan on Help with my Warrior Deck

Things you might want to look at switching out: Bleeding Effect, Sisay's Ring (this is an awful, awful card in a deck that has access to Green ramp IMHO), Worn Powerstone (this is a better card than Sisay's Ring, but not by very much), Candlekeep Sage, Tales of Master Seshiro, Inspiring Roar (this is a very bad card), Silverflame Ritual (see Roar), Lifecrafter's Gift (see Roar), Skyrider Elf, Ogre Sentry, Oakgnarl Warrior, and Abzan Kin-Guard.

Things you might consider to pulling (these are better cards, but there are often much better options): Font of Fortune (just play Night's Whisper please?), Leyline of Abundance (do you have enough mana dorks to justify this?), Omen of the Sea (see Font), Reality Twist (this card is maximum fun but probably does nothing in lots of situations, people are running less and less Basic lands), Basri's Solidarity (maybe play Metastatic Evangel?), arguably all of the 4 mana land ramp spells are kinda risky in here, I feel like you need more veggies like Rampant Growth and Sakura-Tribe Elder to help with early mana, Artifcer's Epiphany (please run Painful Truths over this), Tarkir Doomshaper, Maulfist Revolutionary, and Kin-Tree Warden.

I mentioned a few things worth looking at, but you also might like Najeela, the Blade-Blossom, she's probably the single best Warrior syngery piece. Najeela is VERY GOOD with Derevi, Empyrial Tactician, not sure if Derevi would be 'too good'. I'm sure you've heard of them both, but Karn's Bastion and Gavony Township are great in a counters list, as is good old Atraxa, Praetors' Voice. Finally, you could try Evolution Sage, it's good if you've got a few counters out already. It's in crazy-town, but if you end up using some Proliferate stuff and have lots of creature tokens you might like City of Shadows, I usually lose one or two creatures to it in order to get some decent ramp in a Selesnya deck.

I would look into more Proliferate if you find your deck is already pretty good at getting that first counter on your creatures, especially repeatable Proliferate stuff.

Kazierts on How Good is Atalan Jackal?

wallisface, if you go to Chulane's page, you'll see Wood Elves as one of the top creatures being used for his decks, right below Dream Stalker and above Sakura-Tribe Elder. Also, you can include all the mana dorks you want + Wood Elves no problem.

Kazierts good catch on it being able to grab any kind of forest - I'd only skimmed the card so didn't see that point, and had just automatically assumed it to be a worse Sakura-Tribe Elder.

Coming from a Modern-format background, it's still really hard for me to see any 3-mana ramp card being anything other than garbage, but at least these elves can help with retrieving specific forests, which I can see being useful in some decks for a singleton format.

I still think you'd need a really good reason to run the card, and I do still think in most cases Cultivate will just be a more useful card, but I can see there being use cases for toolbox-land fetching with the elves.

Rasaru on Sek'Kuar's Hasty Mob Ball of Death | V-FND

I had an opportunity to look at each individual card in this list and have a few questions :)

As you mentioned above, you're taking advantage of ETB creatures and creatures that sac themselves. Totally makes sense. You also have the majority of your ramp in creatures, which I understand, because you can sac them to provide additional value (a 3/1 token, as well as a land). Those creatures are Dawntreader Elk, Diligent Farmhand (had to Google "Muscle Burst"), Insidious Fungus, Sakura-Tribe Elder, Solemn Simulacrum, Springbloom Druid, Viridian Emissary, as well as your more "huggy" cards like Veteran Explorer and Avatar of Growth. Then you have Wight of the Reliquary to fetch any land.

  1. With all of those lands potentially coming into play, how often are you just sitting with waaaay more mana than you actually have cards to play?
  2. Has 11 basics been sufficient? Most of those effects grab basics. (And I didn't even mention your land fetch cards - e.g. Myriad Landscape I love playing Field of the Dead, but struggle to play more than the original 6 basics (non-snow and snow) because I want to trigger FotD more often.
  3. I only see 1 landfall effect in the entire deck. Is this intentional to keep the power level of the deck lower?
