I spotted 2 nice addition within the LotR-Set. One is Elrond, Lord of Rivendell which provides nice top/deck manipulation for his entrance and each creature following him, which already supports our gameplan. 2nd is Rivendell itself which mostly comes untapped and is a wonderful supportive piece which doesn’t cost a slot because of the land type.

Jealous that you get to play with Prophet of Kruphix! The deck looks really great, if you like using Biomancer's Familiar I'd also recommend Training Grounds to reduce the cost of Kenessos's activated ability.

How have Elvish Piper and Quicksilver Amulet worked out?

I have a similar deck Kenessos N Kiddos: The King of Killer Krakens if you'd like to check it out, any upvotes are always appreciated!

sean360 Thank you for commenting.

As described, the deck funktions pretty darn well without Prophet of Kruphix, since it’s only value is to untap and activate the abilities (Kenessos or the cheat-effects). I don’t remember hardcasting any of the fattiest yet with her ability yet. Would be an easy swap :D

Elvish Piper and Quicksilver Amulet are just for redundancy. Since it cannot be avoided to draw one of these, i must have an opportunity to cheat them in. Piper is not that mana-intense, but slow… Amulett can be activated, when it hits, which is only good, when i have said untappes (Prophet/Seedborn).

As it turned out, Season of Growth, Aqueous Form and Monster Manual have turned out to be MVPs in the deck. The provide so much value, it’s absurd.

Training Grounds is on my extended want list, but not in my budget currently :D

I would appreciate an up, if you like it. I will check yours, maybe get some inspiration.
