how has this deck worked out for you? I was building one very similar and stumbled upon yours.

It has been amazing, and it's my favorite deck. Sometimes I forget how powerful and fun it is until I have Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre and Kozilek, Butcher of Truth out on turn 6 (I may have tried to make this slightly competitive). Then again idk how it fairs against everything. I play with the same playgroup every week. The main thing I think it might have trouble against is control, but what doesn't have trouble against control lol.

im suprised you haven't included [rings of brighthearth] which allows you to use maya twice for only a little more

@Hungrybadger123123123 I don't have one in here simply cause I don't own one, and hitting 5 out of 100 cards is so so to me. If one happens to fit a trade I'd get it and cram it in here to abuse Mayael, but with so many other ways to cheat in fatties, it's kinda like meh.

Dryad Arbor doesn't really have a purpose in this deck.

You could upgrade the land base by replacing the Ravnican bounce lands with the filter lands: Fire-Lit Thicket , Rugged Prairie , Wooded Bastion .

If you aren't restricted by a budget, you might also consider adding the fetch lands to this deck.

Guild Feud doesn't seem useful, and Rites of Flourishing is dangerous.

@Epochalyptik

Dryad Arbor was on hand, and it snuck it in here for a turn 1 play with card:Green Sun's Zenith. Not optimal, just kinda there so it'll come out.

The filter lands are high priority, but unless I can trade for them I'm not gonna get them until I start going to EDH events at the LGS.

The fetch lands are a bit pricey, but I plan on adding them over time. Right now my regular ramp seems to be enough.

I like Guild Feud as another way to cheat in creatures and act as a sort of removal, plus with the eldrazi I can shuffle my GY back in. I could see how it would backfire maybe or how sometimes it just sits in my hand, and in the future Rites of Flourishing will come out for Exploration . Is there something you would suggest in place of Guild Feud ?

I highly recommend any (and all) of the following:

card:Sensei's Divining Top

Sol Ring

Gilded Lotus

Thran Dynamo

Coalition Relic

10-4 I have some of those already, so It'll be easy enough to slide them in here. Thanks Bud!

Some random thoughts for you. I have card:Akroma's Memorial in my Mayael deck, and I find I'm never unhappy to see it. It gets the most of any creature you have out. Especially if you plan to you know...attack.

card:Ranger's Path or Skyshroud Claim are great ramp to find your shocklands, or just forests. Not strictly better than Explosive Vegetation but useful in their own right.

I had been thinking about card:Akroma's Memorial instead of Titanic Ultimatum , so with your advice I'll try it out.

I have Skyshroud Claim , but card:Ranger's Path is less attractive to me because I only have Temple Garden in here right now, and some creatures are heavily color saturated outside of Green ex Avacyn, Angel of Hope . Explosive Vegetation lets me go grab whatever I want from the basics.

Yeah, I know what you mean like I say, not strictly better but it does let you go get your Temple Garden .

Titanic Ultimatum was the card I had considered cutting too. That's funny.

If you have issues with color, Chromatic Lantern is great. It also has great synergy with Seedborn Muse and if you find you battle lots of board wipers Kamahl, Fist of Krosa is great in this combo.

Titanic Ultimatum is awesome, but I'm a big believer in permanent effects, so that's why I was considering it vs card:Akroma's Memorial.

I don't ever really have trouble with mana, but that's with all the ramp and fixing. As for that combo all I can say is that's too evil lol! I'll keep it in mind for later.

haha, With great power comes great responsibility.

I wonder, how have you found Thundermaw Hellkite ? I've used it a little bit and I've always been underwhelmed. I just find that it doesn't do enough. It is nice to be able to come in for that alpha strike with it, but after that it's just another beater.

I just added him, and haven't gotten a game in with him. Really it's cause I couldn't find someone to trade with, so I added him try to utilize the alpha strike effect. Hopefully I'll get to test him out tomorrow.
