Introduction

This is my attempt at a Selvala, Explorer Returned Twiddlestorm list, meant to be as competitive as possible while staying under $100. This draft specifically is meant to kill as early as possible (technically can turn 3 but more realistically 4 or 5). I'll be trying for another draft soon that is substantially slower but with enough disruption to survive.

Constructive criticism is more than welcome and if you know any good, cheap, cards for this deck or the slower version I'd love to hear them. The things I'm really looking for are:

• haste enablers
• untappers
• artifact tutors
• green card draw
• protection
• anything that lets me cut lands

Resources

The maybe board is every card that I considered but cut, or were in the deck this one is adapted from, which is this https://www.mtggoldfish.com/articles/budget-commander-selvala-twiddlestorm-69-and-beyond Huge thanks also to these primers, which are the best Selvala Twiddlestorm resources available: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/4FAartw-BEKZq-5pONsN8A https://www.moxfield.com/decks/7rV-BDTUcEush4GjLnx-0A

Differences from listed primers

My win condition in this deck is different that those specified in the primer, so I'll detail it here: You need to have infinite mana and a way to infinitely untap Selvala, Explorer Returned, both of which can be achieved by Umbral Mantle attached to a creature that taps for 4 or more mana, ( like Accomplished Alchemist or Elvish Archdruid) then moving the Mantle to Selvala. Then, you loop Regrowth and Reclaim by using Regrowth to add Reclaim to your hand, using Reclaim to put Regrowth on top of your deck, using Selvala to draw Regrowth, and repeating until each opponent mills out.
