Wheel of Fortune and GRN updates —Oct. 16, 2018
Hello Dear Readers!
A number of updates for you all, which are also reflect in the primer - it's actually two updates, one of which I never had the time to make official on this page. The 'ol two for one!
I also updated the name because.... Well I like South Park and I never really felt an attachment to Lord of the Flies. So..... Yeah!
Into the updates:
-Sakura-Tribe Scout +Budoka Gardener Flip -Ifnir Deadlands +Barbarian Ring -Horn of Greed +Nissa, Vital Force -Protean Hulk +Wheel of Fortune -Greenwarden of Murasa +Wayward Swordtooth -Rites of Flourishing +Experimental Frenzy -Manglehorn +Assassin's Trophy -Insist +Sensei's Divining Top
Two big changes - I acquired a Wheel of Fortune (so like, obviously gonna pop it in in this perfect shell for it) and GRN gave us Experimental Frenzy, basically the ideal card to do silly things in this deck. Top comes in to support Frenzy. Assassin's Trophy comes in because Wizard's are assholes who print obviously optimal removal in consecutive sets and remove diversity from the format. Wayward Swordtooth comes in to further support Frenzy. Sakura-Tribe Scout comes back in from the bench because 1 mana and 2 mana Flip have proven to be very different for a small upside. Barbarian Ring comes in because it's cheap and efficient - Cabal Pit is probably next in as I re-discover these awesome utility lands. Nissa, Vital Force comes in to do double duty replacing Horn and Greenwarden in one neat package that is also a cool fun card.
The cuts, as always, were tough. Every card is a pet project at this point. Either cards were cut for clunkiness (Greenwarden, Budoka Gardener Flip), removal of a certain package (Group Hug), or simply for space (RIP Insist and Mangle Boy).
I'm sure you've been asked this before, but is there a reason you're not running Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker? With Zealous Conscripts he's an easy win, and he works well with other cards like Protean Hulk, Reclamation Sage, or Tireless Tracker.
Otherwise, great looking deck dude. Really excited to build it for myself soon.

I would be scared to play this deck in my meta... How would you handle Blood Moon and Ruination?

@Errast - I think Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker is an excellent consideration for the deck. I go on about how my meta doesn’t allow infinite combos, but I’m mostly playing in a different meta now that does. It’s probably a worthy inclusion.
@Panas - Blood Moon is basically just hope the table can deal with it, or if I have a basic Forest in play Reclamation Sage I guess? No one plays Moon in my meta.
Ruination - it’s very possible to rebuild after MLD with this deck, between Life from the Loam, Crucible of Worlds, Splendid Reclamation, World Shaper, Ramunap Excavator, Oracle of Mul Daya all help build back up to varying degrees.
