Any room for Steel Leaf Champion? He’s a solid 5/4 at a reasonable price.

AstroAA on Pioneer - Help Updating Deck

1 year ago

Hey y'all! I'm looking for input/assistance for a pioneer deck. Pioneer is the preferred 60-card format at my LGS, and as such I'd like to get into the format since I want to start playing competitively again and they do not have any cEDH tournaments. I absolutely adored mono-green stompy during the Kaladesh/Amonkhet/Ixalan/Dominaria standard, and as such I'd like to build a mono-green stompy/aggro deck based on the one that was popular during that time. I have a decklist, however I'd like help updating it and adapting it to the current general metagame since I have absolutely zero experience with the format. I've done zero research on the meta at my LGS and as such would like just a general "one size fits all" kind of approach to the deck at the moment and tune it at a later point in time once I have some games under my belt. Here is the decklist of what I brewed a couple years ago: [Pioneer] Mono-G Stompy

Really the only requirements I have is that the deck must have Steel Leaf Champion and Rhonas's Monument since I love those two cards. I know that the Rhonas's Monument in particular doesn't really see play, but I love it and want to play it.

Appreciate y'all!

Have you ever thought of adding Steel Leaf Champion?

Have you ever thought of Ghalta, Primal Hunger or Steel Leaf Champion.

There are some illegal cards here (the ones in red), but most have Modern format equivalents you can swap in.

Being in a similar boat a few years ago myself, I found reading up on the sets I missed a valuable exercise. There are probably lots of elves you’re unfamiliar with, many being quite solid cards. Steel Leaf Champion comes to mind among many others.

Have you considered Leatherback Baloth's cousin, Steel Leaf Champion? It pretty much accomplishes the same thing but with a little more upside. Reverent Hunter is a pretty nice follow up since it would be at least a 4/4 for 3 after playing a Baloth.

Azusa, Lost but Seeking and Whisperer of the Wilds can speed up the early game considerably.

Ghalta, Primal Hunger as a 'one of' might also be a pretty good finisher that could come out pretty quickly considering the amount of power in this deck (Goreclaw alone reduces his cost by 6). Hope this helps

I like most of the list, but I feel as though Avatar of the Resolute is outclassed by other options (like perhaps Steel Leaf Champion).

Your only source of counters are Experiment One and strangleroot geist, neither of which are even 100% guaranteed to be bearing counters. So the potential exists for the avatar to be just a 3/2 for two. Reach and Trample are nice but not terribly useful unless they’re attached to a high powered body. In the end I just feel there are potentially better options for this slot.

I think you need some bigger creatures to go with your evolve cards like Steel Leaf Champion as an example to get the most out of them. Also Pelt Collector has honorary evolve. Strangleroot Geist could be decent as well, especially with hardened scales.
