Card explanations

Ramp: I'm trying to play most of my ramp low on the curve (e.g. mostly 2 CMC) so I can fix early and often. The deck is slow and wants to get to the late game so it can grind out wins with Planeswalker activations (and ults).

Board wipes: I feel like I have one or two too many, but they all have different pro's and con's... Some are low on the curve, some let me be selective and hopefully minimize impact on my own board, some are really versatile, etc. Thoughts? Crime//Punishment might be an option too but it's a pretty versatile card under different board states.

Faster ults: Since I don't have Doubling Season, extra turns are one of the main ways I have to get to faster ults. Inexorable Tide and Oath of Teferi are both gross magic cards in this deck. Contagion Engine is ok too, though it's much more mana intensive. If you're proliferating something like Astral Cornucopia or Pentad Prism though, the cost is not nearly as prohibitive. Lastly, Ajani Steadfast is here mainly for the -2 to get to faster ults, but I'm not sure that's enough to justify the spot. He might be on the chopping block.

Disclaimer about play style, budget, and metagame:

  • I dislike infinite combos. They're not fun for me to play against, and they're not fun for me to win with.
  • I dislike winning with "you win the game" cards a la Laboratory Maniac.
  • I dislike very linear decks that aim to execute the exact same game plan every game. I like to win in different ways from game to game with the same deck.
  • If I'm not playing super obvious cards like Grim Monolith, Mana Drain, etc., it's because I don't own them. Feel free to suggest non-budget cards if you want, but the truth is if I don't already own it, I am very unlikely to buy anything >$50.
  • My metagame is more casual than competitive. People aren't rocking hyper-streamlined decks with all the fast mana and a curve of 1.5. I build decks to win, sure, but I still want people to have a bit of fun. This means I try to avoid decks that feature stax cards that lock people out of the game (though I will throw a Blood Moon in my mono red lists from time to time because of the inherent weakness of mono red), nor do I want to take 10-15 minutes turns storming off.
  • With all that said, I would greatly appreciate any feedback or suggestions to add and remove cards based on your experience. Thanks!
