Beyond Death? BEYOND MANA!! —Jan. 30, 2020

WOWZA. Beyond Death? Bah! We reach new levels of Mana never previously dreamed of! Starting with:

Regal Behemoth -----------------------------> Nyxbloom Ancient:

Oh my GODDD NDKPC$NIUB$ Nybloom was a mistake. One we shall EXPLOIT. We are getting this at TONS of Value. The Deck already ramps a lot, but now? Now it's on SPEED. Until this thing gets banned (which it very well could) It's going in. Monarch is fun, but I don't like how easily Monarch gets stolen and then suddenly, I don't get any card draw. It's odd, as Monarch seems to just translate to "Okay, lets steal it and then boardwipe as hard as possible." So no. None of that.

Mirari's Wake -----------------------------------------> Zendikar Resurgent:

Mana Doubler's are great! The thing is, is that while the Wake was cheaper, it's power-up ability is a little... lackluster. This deck as also proven that any Card Draw is good card draw. Thus, I feel that this swap, while hard cause Resurgent costs more, the card draw MORE then makes up for it.

Atarka, World Render -------------------------------------> Dragonlord Atarka:

Ahh. The Day has finally come... Long ago, I threw in Dragonlord Dromoka and I knew one day, She would come in too... and Today is that day. Atarka is cool, as providing double-strike to dragons is really good. Sadly, There are significantly LESS dragons in the deck now. With this Swap, A More solid Dragon comes to the battlefield for the same amount of mana, but also It can deal direct damage to planeswalkers or other pesky creatures that my Opponents control, which is great for crowd control.

Hydra Omnivore ---------------------------------> Ulvenwald Hydra:

Look I'll be honest. I saw the most recent Game Knights and saw Ashlen play this card.... and knew it HAD to go in here, even if it's just MORE ramp. Plus, Honestly, the Omnivore was cool and all, but Ulvenwald also let'sus capitalize on our ramp by being even BIGGER, even if it can't hit all our opponents.

Sylvan Scrying -----------------------------------> Ilysian Caryatid:

I'll be honest, I am still playing around with this slot. The deck does ramp hardcore, but With some of the newer cards I am throwing in, I wanted a mana dork that grows with the deck. The new grove does this, tapping for 2 once we get a big creature out on the board. However, I still think its vulnerable to removal.. So there's a solid chance this could get swapped for Sylvan Caryatid. Or, alternatively, I WAS thinking of throwing in another draw engine like Guardian Project, OR a Tutor like Idyllic Tutor. I feel that the Tutor would be especially helpful, as it can kinda pull any sort of answer I would need since a lot of different and helpful cards in here are, in fact, enchantments... and it can pull enchantment /creatures/. We shall see though.
