AstroAA on Punching in Pillow Fights

It has been a while indeed. Even though you're running things like Kenrith's Transformation and Song of the Dryads, I feel as if you still aren't running enough removal. A basic list of stuff you should definitely consider is:

• Swords to Plowshares
• Path to Exile
• Beast Within
• Generous Gift
• Krosan Grip
• Nature's Claim
• On Thin Ice - For this, you'd definitely need to replace all your Forests and Plains with Snow-Covered Forest and Snow-Covered Plains. However, it's worth it.

In addition, I see you running an aura strategy. I'm personally not a fan of auras, but you do you. You're also running a rather low creature count at 12. I would definitely consider trying to add more creatures, particularly things like Collector Ouphe and Hushbringer as you aren't running many artifacts with activated abilities or creatures with ETB effects. With Collector Ouphe, you can punish your opponents for ramping via mana rocks, and with Hushbringer you can protect your enchantments against effects from Acidic Slime and Reclamation Sage. Destiny Spinner is also super helpful since she herself is an enchantment and can protect against your spells getting countered.

duchessCretina great recommendations as always! I was worried about the price of the Snow-Covered Forests but their not too much more expensive honestly. I also swapped out the God, pumped the Garruk's, pumped the Scavenging Oozes and Inscriptions. I wanted to stay away from more expensive mana cost cards since I mainly want to build the smaller ones up and have the extra mana to force fights, but I will definitely add these to the maybe board in case people want them in their versions!

Hey, this usually doesn't get noticed by people, but you could swap Prey Upon for Blizzard Brawl and swap the basics for Snow-Covered Forests.

I also think Inscription of Abundance should be 4-of... it's too good and versatile.

And maybe 4 Scavenging Ooze since it can just randomly break graveyard decks.

I also don't know if it helps, but Umori, the Collector is an ooze...

And there are some bigger oozes like Aeve, Progenitor Ooze, Biogenic Ooze, Consuming Blob... but i think you'd need more lands to play those, maybe...

One last thing, if you can replace your current lands with the snow-covered variants (Snow-Covered Island, Snow-Covered Forest), then you can run Ice-Fang Coatl, which is a big improvement to your offensive power (I'd be dropping the Counterspell to make room for it, or Deadly Recluse if you're set on keeping countermagic)

Doing it without Tron lands could give you a brew that looks very similar to existing Soulherder archtypes (just without Soulherder)... something like this might be almost-competitive (although at this point, it's a very different list to what you're trying to achieve, so not sure if this is the route you'd want to go down):

• 4x Panharmonicon
• 4x Noble Hierarch
• 4x Coiling Oracle
• 4x Ice-Fang Coatl
• 4x Eternal Witness
• 1x Venser, Shaper Savant
• 1x Acidic Slime
• 1x Thragtusk
• 1x Hornet Queen
• 4x Ephemerate
• 3x Counterspell
• 3x Force of Negation
• 4x Path to Exile
• 4x Snow-Covered Forest
• 4x Snow-Covered Island
• 2x Snow-Covered Plains
• 1x Temple Garden
• 1x Hallowed Fountain
• 2x Flooded Strand
• 2x Misty Rainforest
• 2x Windswept Heath
• 4x Prismatic Vista

Cards: Glacial Crevasses, Snow-Covered Mountain.

I've had my eye on possibly running Glacial Crevasses in my EDH decks for quite some time now as I feel it makes an excellent combat deterrent. By having this card on the field the whole table knows I can completely negate an attack thrown at me even when tapped out which can help keep combat-oriented decks from wanting to waste their combat step on me.

The problem is this card only works if I have Snow-Covered Mountains. If I have none Glacial Crevasses means nothing to my opponent, if I have one Snow-Covered Mountain my opponents might try to fish me into sacking it and if I have three Snow-Covered Mountains my opponents will likely not bother with me until the game reaches a 1-versus-1 state.

This card is easier to run in mono-red decks, but I want to put it in 3-color decks which means I don't want to flood my entire manabase with Snow-Covered Mountains especially if I'm not going to draw into Glacial Crevasses certain games.

Additionally would you count fetch-lands towards your Snow-Covered Mountain count, such as Arid Mesa , Ash Barrens , Bloodstained Mire , Prismatic Vista , Scalding Tarn and Wooded Foothills? (My 3-color red decks usually run all 6 of these fetches just to color fix with Ravnica shock lands if needed.)

Also how good would you evaluate Unstable Frontier as a utility land? If I'm running Snow-Covered Forests, Snow-Covered Islands, Snow-Covered Plains or Snow-Covered Swamps, I can use Unstable Frontier to turn any of them into a Snow-Covered Mountain and as a color fixing source if I have too many Snow-Covered Mountains, but I don't know if it would be better to just use another Snow-Covered Mountain over it instead.

Lastly, should I run cards like Alpine Meadow, Highland Forest, Sulfurous Mire and Volatile Fjord? I already run all the Modern fetch-lands that could tutor for lands such as these, so I could hit them very consistently, but I don't like the fact they're tap-lands. Given I run only three colored decks I can only ever fit any of two of them at a time. Would they be worth an inclusion?

Thank you for your insight.
