I am surprised that a stax-combo deck like Selvala isn't running Carpet of Flowers or Root Maze. Similarly, Winter Orb is impressive in these decks.

I did take Winter Orb out. I find it slower than Static Orb and the effect from static orb to be more punishing. But it is just as punishing to me. hmm...

Just learned about Carpet of Flowers effects. and the fact that there are two main phases in your turn. that could be really good.

Root Maze... I'm on the fence about. I can see it's value early game. something I will have to consider.

Thanks again for your wisdom!

Static orb is really good, don't drop it, I'd rather them both. I play Selvala Stax, with Thorn of Amethyst and Glowrider on top of the effects you have, and even more, and play it in competitive circles from time to time. It is a a lot of fun. Up to you though.

I actually work at the local game and hobby store, so I know I can pick up Carpet of Flowers and Winter Orb, because of your earliest suggestion, I did get my hands on a copy of Glowrider.

though I have not seen a Thorn of Amethyst cross my path.

That is nice! You produce mana at a rate that allows you to pay for a lot of tax effects easily, while gaining turns on opponents often. Ravages of War does wonders, like Armageddon, but I got mine when it was cheap, so I would doubt you find one without it being super expensive or dang near impossible to find.

OUCH!!!! $200.00 grats on the card. don't think i'll be finding one of them. i'm thinking on replacing elf mom Marwyn, the Nurturer she seems a situational. if i get her out early she's not bat but late game. shes a 3 drop for a elf that taps for 1. I'm looking into other cards to put in her place.

Ooh, glad I got mine a while back. Marwyn makes a sick casual elf commander if you want to not play this deck against opposing new players, so I'd hold onto it.

Just added Carpet of Flowers and a few other cards. i think really boosted the deck.

That is really nice!
