Minor deck improvements —June 28, 2018

I really got to thinking that with this deck there is several mechanics at play here and I need to refine them slightly more for better utilization.

This was suggested by Hexaflexagon (Thanks Again!), It is a slightly better card as the card's abilities are defined as two separate events and that can be taken advantage of.

-1 Banishing Light with +1 Oblivion Ring Same cost

Changing this one was more along the line of, it lets me pick what I want instead of what the library so happens to have towards the top.

-1 Kindred Summons with +1 Tooth and Nail Same cost

This one was a tough one for me. I went from Sigarda, Heron's Grace to Shalai, Voice of Plenty to Privileged Position to Saffi Eriksdotter to not being sure at all what I actually wanted. So, I decided to go with Saffi Eriksdotter as she has instant creature revival, while still being a creature herself.

-1 Sigarda, Heron's Grace with +1 Saffi Eriksdotter Creature revival, Cheaper CMC

I will be focusing more on certain aspects like these in the future but, for now I think most of it is good. I am however considering doing some tweaking with the dragons/humans, not sure what yet but will gladly take any ideas on it.

I have looked at options like Dauntless Bodyguard but, I figured out pretty early on with this deck that I don't particularly like sacrificing creatures in pretty much any form. I realize that I am limited in some aspects by that but, it is a "sacrifice" I am willing to make.

Regardless thanks for the suggestion and if you've got anything else I'd love to hear it!

You also might want to consider Oketra's Monument and Rhonas's Monument for helping ramp out those dragons

In the case of Oketra's Monument and Rhonas's Monument, while they would certainly help with the casting cost of creatures, unfortunately they just wouldn't do as much as other cards or they cover abilities that other cards already cover. Additionally they only work with one color, as opposed to Herald's Horn which can work with any creature type and since I only have two main types in here (Humans and Dragons) it works rather well.

Again, I really appreciate the input and thank you for taking the time to provide more suggestions for this.

Sorry I'm writing all these posts, it's just that I keep looking at your deck and coming up with more improvement. If you need more removal, you might want:

Oblivion Ring

Seal Away

Pacifism

No need to say sorry. I really do appreciate any suggestions that people have and the fact that you keep coming back to provide more.

I don't believe this deck needs more removal as it is actually pretty easy to draw the removal I need, either through fetching or excessive card draw. However, Oblivion Ring is very much a viable replacement for Banishing Light so I went ahead and switched those out. That is a prefect example as to why I am taking anything that I can get for suggestions, because I would have never found that one. Thanks again!

What are your current thoughts of replacing/adding Shalai, Voice of Plenty?

@Hexaflexagon

I like it. I think that it is a valid replacement for Sigarda, Heron's Grace. It costs one less, has a more broad effect, and can distribute +1/+1 counters. Additionally I didn't like exiling cards from my graveyard for Sigarda's effect.

As always, thanks again!
