Cards dropped and added —June 15, 2018

After getting lots of great card ideas I choose to drop 2x Obelisk of Urd , 2x Primal Bellow , 1x Growing Rites of Itlimoc  Flip and 2x Deadbridge Goliath aswell as adding 4x Fertile Thicket , 2x Song of Freyalise and 2x Forest currently running 64 cards so every suggenstion on what to drop are greatly appreciated!

I love how ant queen snergizes with eldrazi monument. Very cool deck, take my +1.

seshiro_of_the_orochi Thanks!! Any cards you might add that would be nice for this deck? I thought of maybe adding Saber Ants and enchant them with Lure for fun times because i already have Swarmyard for not so fun times for your opponent :P

The biggest qualm I have is that you play so few lands. Even burn, a deck that is mostly 1 mana spells, has more lands, and they frequently play entire games with only 2 on the battlefield. You have a ton of 4+ mana cards, so I can't really see how you can cast them reliably with only 8 ramp cards. 21-23 lands I think would be ideal for your deck.

It's a really cool deck other than that, though.

hungry000 yea thats one of my concerns aswell but I have to play with it a few times to see if its ok with Growing Rites of Itlimoc  Flip and Cultivate but u sure have a point there. If id add more lands what cards should i drop for them?

Deadbridge Goliath is probably the weakest insect out of the bunch, or at least it's tied with Ant Queen. You aren't trying to dump stuff in the graveyard, and it doesn't really contribute to your plan of going wide. Primal Bellow also isn't that great when you're not all-in on the land ramp plan, and you don't really need the fourth copy of Growing Rites of Itlimoc  Flip. You'd be drawing more than one every game if you had the full playset.
