jonjonhholt Thanks man! I appreciate the comment and the tips for sure and it's nice to hear that you love the deck. It's definitely been a labor of love. And you may be on to something with the Wandering Stream my thinking was to borrow from some tron builds on this one, since I have a slow early game I am beat down to 10-12 life by the time I can turn on (around turn 4-5) in a lot of matches so far. So with them they give me that second chance to finish the game. But I agree that in some matchups they are certainly underwhelming. I'll keep it in mind as I test!

And I have a love hate relationship with Exhume actually when I built the first version of this it was a Living End/Domain style deck, about what you see now but with Violent Outburst and it ran fairly well that way, and had those explosive starts that you mentioned, but between all of the graveyard hate, Sac removal and others running the ____cycling cards, it started to just dissapoint me. But! It's always in the back of my mind, and something I could try again in the future. Honestly I think I just need to learn how to use Exhume better in higher skill games.

Anyways thanks again for the comments, tips and hype, man! tata for now.

This deck is super fun! I love the domain cards paired with all the great ____cycling cards we have now. I agree that Magic Damper and You See a Guard Approach stand out as potential flex spots, though i also think a copy or two of Wandering Stream could move to the sideboard as while they absolutely rip vs aggro, they are underwhelming against a control or combo deck. If youre already running all the lotr 1-mana landcyclers, a playset of Exhume allows you to get off to some crazy fast starts. Love the deck!

legendofa on How is Camaraderie a Bend?

Skagra42 Which part of Shamanic Revelation do you think is the bend?

As I see it, Collective Unconscious and Regal Force show that {G} can draw cards based on number of creatures, although it's more typically based on power, like Greater Good or Momentous Fall. Both Unconscious and R.Force might also be bends, but I don't think they are.

Momentous Fall bring us to the life gain side. {G} ability to gain big chunks of life has quite a bit of precedent, with cards like Blossoming Wreath, Nourish, and Wandering Stream. Gaining life based on power has become more prevalent recently, but has been around since at least 2006, with Gristleback, and Feed the Pack was printed just before Shamanic Revelation.

Furthermore, S.Revelation has been reprinted in eight different products, and is virtually a staple for precon Commander decks. I don't think a bend card would receive that much exposure, but that's entirely my speculation.

So my interpretation is that while the individual parts may not come together often, every part of Shamanic Revelation is acceptably {G}, with established and demonstrative precedent. {G} is probably the second or third best color for both drawing and life gain, but it's reasonable for it to do both.

I have been playing around with Domain Zoo as well. I have been really liking Might of Alara. The amount of damage you can do with that 1 mana pump spell is just astonishing. Scattershot Archer is a lot less useful now that fairies have lessen in popularity and you already have Electrickery, though it might still be worth it. You might want to look into Fog for Izzet Blitz, Circle of Protection: Red for burn, or Wandering Stream as just an all around heal that you can utilize. The other two just all around good sideboard cards to consider is Pyroblast and Relic of Progenitus. Also, have you thought about using Preordain over Brainstorm?
