Thanks for your comments.

GrimlockVIII if Death Pits wasn’t symmetrical I would consider but I think it’s a bit risky as it is. If I were looking for an alternative to Zagras I would probably go with Archetype of Finality .

seshiro_of_the_orochi I’m not really a fan of shroud on the Cloak because it turns off Undying Evil effects on Zagras. It’s why I’m only running Swiftfoot Boots over Lightning Greaves . Maskwood Nexus is a very cool card but I don’t think it does enough here unfortunately.

Aeriosis, you are right that in most situations Lightning Greaves is better than Swiftfoot Boots , but in the deck, there are a lot of effects that want to target Garth One-Eye , including blink effects that untap him and reset his spell copy choices, and if he has shroud, the deck can't use those effects.

zach3584 How about Lightning Greaves instead of Swiftfoot Boots then?

Couldn't help but notice you didn't have any equipment to put on Raksha Golden Cub to have him give your other cats double strike, leaving him as an overcost 7 drop 3/4 with vigilance. Same is true with Kemba, Kha Regent and her token spawning, though she's a 3 drop 2/4 without her ability which is pretty average.

I'd recommend either cutting both of them, or cutting just Kemba and a few other cards to run some cheap staple commander equipment ( Swiftfoot Boots , Lightning Greaves ), as Raksha's +2/+2 and double strike is exceptionally powerful in Tribal Cats and shroud and hexproof are good abilities to have.

As for card draw, you could also kill two birds with one stone and put in Sword of Fire and Ice , but given that that card costs almost as much as the rest of the deck put together, I'd totally understand if you didn't want to run it.

Thank you for the suggestion, Aeriosis! Celestial Dawn is a great card, but I want to keep Swiftfoot Boots in the deck mainly because the haste it provides is neat for activating Garth One-Eye a turn early. Plus, I have other mana fixing in the deck. Your feedback is always appreciated! : )

another one: do you find a need to protect ayara something like Malakir Rebirth  ^Flip, Lightning Greaves or Swiftfoot Boots ?

How about replacing Swiftfoot Boots with Celestial Dawn ?

I'm really surprised at the lack of any real options for haste in this deck. Lightning Greaves or Swiftfoot Boots (or their cheaper cousin Fleetfeather Sandals , esp. considering how quick Yuriko can come out swinging with them.

Either way Tormented Soul gives you another unblockable 1-drop to help even out the way the deck leans blue(and uses less of your islands you'll want to use for your extra turns), and Gudul Lurker is another 1 drop unblockable. Cloud of Faeries with the mentioned Lightning Greaves means you could theoretically have Yuriko hitting a player turn 2.
