(Not) Going Paperless —April 9, 2019

A minor revision, added in Orcish Lumberjack over Zhur-Taa Druid since a friend gifted me a copy of the lumberjack as a birthday gift, which was great because I forgot that card existed! It's pretty epic honestly, the deck has a tendency to ramp out lots of lands very quickly, so sac'ing a few to juice out some extra mana definitely goes a long way.

Hi Ch0ppah, I love spellslinger/spell copying decks and I've had a half-built Wort deck lying around for too long, so I found your list super inspiring and playtested it a few times... I was frustrated by the seemingly slow starts but ended up with ridiculous stuff like 480 Treasure tokens, drawing my whole deck with Commune with Lava/Apex of power or a quintuple Jaya's fireball dealing a total of 150 damage, so you were right, the deck and mental math are fun! Congrats on your deck.

LongRockSilver: Thanks for the comment! I agree, the deck does have tend to have very slow starts if you don't hit your elves or ramp spells, but that CAN be helpful, especially in casual games since you'll seem like a low threat to the table. Adding in a Myriad Landscape or Blighted Woodland to the lands might help the ramp be a bit more consistent to get our Wort a bit faster.
