Round 5: Cutting —Oct. 12, 2017

JA Cut:

  • Deranged Hermit because SquirrelCraft doesn't need more help. Without the elf tribe support, he's lackluster.
  • Traverse the Outlands because we're usually not going to have a giant creature on deck to be worth the 5 mana.
  • Jade Mage because she was Ant Queen 2, and Ant Queen didn't make it. Without Training Grounds, she ain't that great.

CS cut:

  • Clone Legion because I like it, but we have similar effects.
  • Bestial Menace because it gets rid of a five drop, and I think the deck still does everything it did without this card.

CN Cut:

  • Reality Shift we have a number of other spot removal, and this one happens to be the least bang for buck.
  • Battle Hymn Same reasoning for my first choice, but replace spot removal with the word ramp.

CR Cut:

  • Wonder because of a few things: 1) Archetype remains. 2) its finicky to get online. 3) tokens should inherently be able to go wide, so the effect is somewhat redundant.
  • Explosive Vegetation because i see a reasonable amount of color fixing already in the deck, and it too never makes my final cut. plus, Cultivate remains, which i like better for a lot of reasons.
  • Overwhelming Stampede because we didn't need another finisher.

NG Cut:

  • Scryb Ranger we have like 1 tap ability and there are better ways to get the land drop stuff, like Mina and Denn, Wild Born that we can swap in if we really want it
  • Scapeshift doesn't seem worth it, I'd rather have an actual ramp spell to trigger landfall or something super like Warp World.
  • Life from the Loam because we don't have enough recursion for the dredge, and we already have Ramunap Excavator.

AL Cut:
