Hi kass,

hope you bought The Hulk soon enough. Cause it spiked hard today.

Did you consider these cards:

And an upvote from me. If you like to check out my Sisay deck, then see my profile.

ps: I presume you misspelled Mayael in the deck name on purpose?

Thanks PartyJ, I honestly didn't realize i misspelled it. Thank you for pointing it out, corrected.

Whilst i did originally have those 3 in the deck i'm struggling on what to remove for them.

I agree with the above comment, Stonehoof Chieftain, Angel of Serenity, and Terastodon are all fantastic cards. I'd also advise adding Spearbreaker Behemoth and Spellbreaker Behemoth, as well as Summoner's Pact.

I'd also add some lands like Sunhome, Fortress of the Legion, Gavony Township, Slayers' Stronghold, Kessig Wolf Run, and Rogue's Passage. Without them, Tempt with Discovery just isn't very good.

I'd cut Protean Hulk - you can't get more than one creature off him, and while there are some choice cards to get... do you really need a seven mana tutor? Omnath, Locus of Rage is great, but you can't really abuse his landfall, so I'd cut him. If you're looking to make the deck "no dick moves," then Blightsteel Colossus and Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger are both out of place. I'm not sure how effective Mayael's Aria and Martyr's Bond have been for you, but they seem slow and generally less effective than you'd like.

@PhotogenicParasympathetic Stonehoof Chieftain, Angel of Serenity, and Terastodon will now be added.

Spearbreaker Behemoth is a maybe at this time as im not sure what to take out for it.

I feel as if Dragonlord Dromoka is better than Spellbreaker Behemoth.

Land wise, i do need to look at my lands and fix them so i thank you for the suggestions.

Omnath, Locus of Rage, Mayael's Aria and Martyr's Bond have now been removed.

Blightsteel Colossus is a strong card, in our play group we use the following rule for infect: Infect damage is 20 for a kill on a player.

Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger is a card i offerd to take out but it was classed as ok.

I've now added Hateflayer and Decimate and i'm looking at some other cards now listed on the Maybeboard.

Thank you for you help on this.

Hi, nice deck; deserves a +1. I have a Mayael deck but it's not on tappedout yet; I'll post it soon and send you a link.Might I suggest Scroll Rack? Basically allows you to determine exactly what cool stuff in your hand will enter the battlefield from the library with Mayael's ability.

Also I'd consider adding Gaddock Teeg; I think he fits well with the theme of this deck (which is mostly about using large stompers to kill your opponents; not high cost noncreature spells). It also has some fun synergy with Void Winnower.

NV_1980 Thank you for the upvote and comment!

I'll be very interested in having a look at your deck once it's on.

Scroll Rack is on my watch list and will be an addition this year. I tend to add one or two expensive cards a month if and when needed and Scroll Rack hits that bill nicely.

Gaddock Teeg could be interesting i'll give it a try.

You playgroup targets are really boring.... There goes most of my ideas!

Hmmm,

  • Bloodbraid Elf seems like it would have some potential but you would really need to playtest it because it may backfire due to your CMC

  • You have really lovely mana fixing, it's honestly really impressive!

  • Land Tax could serve you really well especially early game to get you ahead and casting stompy stuff early

  • Nissa, Worldwaker could serve you pretty well too, especially uncapping forests!

I generally don't know too much about Naya, I'm sorry I couldn't contribute more! You have a really cool deck!

Aaerys Thanks for the comment and the suggestions.

We're looking at allowing info combos to 'tick' 10 times before they automatically stop.

Land tax is in the deck :)

I think, over Nissa i might look at that new Plainswalker coming out that also gets creatures.

Thanks for the suggestins!

I adore Seedtime. I've technically never gotten to use it, but just knowing the potential for it makes it worth having in the deck. I don't know if you have enough targets for it, but Thran Temporal Gateway might make a secondary Quicksilver Amulet. I think I counted 15 legendary/artifact creatures that cost 5+.

I'm not really comfortable with Naya, but I'll give it a shot (I play blue in pretty much all my decks).

Maybe Verdant Sun's Avatar and Trostani, Selesnya's Voice for lifegain (if that's the direction you want to go).

You could also do Karametra, God of Harvests if you feel like you need some more ramp.

Sandwurm Convergence could be nice if you find that flying creatures are a problem (the wurm token is a nice perk as well).

You could take advantage of your big creatures with Warstorm Surge and use it as removal, or just a straight up smack to the face.
