KBK7101 on Hazezon, Shaper of Sand - Desert Warfare (v0.4)

Thanks! :)

They were mostly (I've ordered some since posting) cards that I owned, with the really good ones being raided from other decks I have. Really proud do how this deck runs at the moment.

But I've had a lot going on (I got married!) and haven't been able to come back to it. I just updated my Koma deck and that's all the MTG stuff I've done for over a month or so. Maybe even since Thanksgiving. I would like to come back to this deck and tweak it slightly and finish my primer, though. I'm moving to a new area soon with a much closer LGS that I plan on being somewhat active at.

Wow! Those are cards you had on hand? What a pile.

I was playing around with a Hazezon brawl deck before all those new utility deserts came out, and rather than graveyard recursion, I kinda had a stax/group slug/ lane destruction theme going where some key pieces included Storm Cauldron, Ankh of Mishra, and Zozu the punisher. Probably not what you were looking for, but I was also working with some cards that may overlap well with yours:

Nahiri's Lithoforming Martyr's Bond Sylvan Safekeeper Elvish Reclaimer Constant Mists Sosuke, Son of Seshiro Currency Converter Goblin Bombardment From the Ashes Molten Vortex

Also, There are a couple artifacts that just say your lands enter untapped. I can’t remember the names, but they may be worthwhile because I recall they were low CMC and so many deserts enter tapped. Anything that tells you to discard and draw is excellent, because of course, you just discard a desert and play it anyway. Pretty wild.

Anyway, looks like a fun deck. I hope your playgroup finds it just as amusing. :)

Necramus on It Rose From The Dead

Sylvan Safekeeper - this is an awesome card for this deck. Plays to the Necrobloom dredge by allowing us to sac lands to protect our stuff, replay the lands from the grave, and get more value!

Heroic Intervention - wonderful, instant-speed protection.

Teferi's Protection - same as above.

Luminous Broodmoth - board wipe protection for all your creatures that matter.

Flawless Maneuver - instant-speed protection that (theoretically) free. I can imagine the main piece you're wanting to protect is the Commander. So, stands to reason this should be a free spell 90% of the time.

Just saw your update about needing some more resilience! Thought I'd chime in with some more suggestions!

I love seeing everyone's responses to this :). To me having pet cards you always try to work into a deck is a lot of the fun of deck building.

I've always really liked Spirit of the Night and Teeka's Dragon and find myself cramming them into decks whether or not they fit. They were just so impressive the first time I came across them and I've never lost that excitement for them.

I also have a few specific pieces of cardboard I'm fond of, like the Vesuvan Doppelganger my friend gave me and the Sylvan Safekeeper that I got signed by Olle Råde.

Yes, the undying loop requires haste

Nature's Chosen is used primarily on Tayam but really any white creature. You then use that enchanted creature to untap Gaea's Cradle for the most part, as Cradle is a core aspect of the deck.

Whenever you have a chance to tutor, your first targets should always be either Wall of Roots or Gaea's Cradle depending on your hand.

Another example of how powerful Gaea's Cradle is, theres a loop with Sylvan Safekeeper where you can replay Cradle for more and more mana as long as you have the counters to supply this loop, for example with Leyline of Abundance or Hexdrinker

Dud cards: Conclave Guildmage Conclave's Blessing Rallying Roar + a lot of the convoke cards

Why is Katilda, Dawnhart Prime in the deck?

I've seen Outlaws' Merriment flop a lot in Alex's deck

Consider conspire cards like Gleeful Sabotage and Wort, the Raidmother

Have you considered Plargg, Dean of Chaos  ^Flip Augusta would ball in this deck?

I always suggest a little bit of creature sacrifice in a deck like this. Here's some suggestions: Perilous Forays Martyr's Cause Goblin Bombardment Fanatical Devotion Evolutionary Leap Tooth and Claw Makeshift Munitions Barrage of Expendables. When you swing out, shit's gonna get killed so it's nice to make the most of your creatures. Plus these cards do great against board wipes.

Consider these land sacrifice cards: Sylvan Safekeeper Squirrel Wrangler Goblin Trenches Constant Mists Aura Fracture

Also consider adding anthems to drive the win home if you think you will struggle with winning.

Prosperous Partnership slaps and I suggest you reconsider it.

Additional card suggestions: Neyali, Suns' Vanguard Roar of Resistance Arasta of the Endless Web Intangible Virtue Divine Visitation Inspiring Leader Legion Loyalty
