Major Changes —Sept. 14, 2019

-3 Emerge Unscathed -3 Tezzeret's Gambit -3 Unbreakable Formation -2 Consul's Lieutenant -2 Fragmentize -1 Immortal Servitude

+4 Charming Prince +3 Faith's Shield +2 Mirran Crusader's +2 Return to the Ranks +1 Sorcerous Spyglass +1 Worship +1 Snow-Covered Plains

So here we go Testing this deck I realized that this deck needed two things. ONE: More creatures as apposed to non-creature spells. TWO: More consistent land drops.

So I set about achieving that (warning this is a long one).

Cards being removed:

-[Emerge Unscathed] is good, but kamarupa has shown me that Faith's shield is the way to go

-[Tezzeret's Gambit] was a painful cut. It does everything I could ask it to. Unfortunately at 3 mana and not being a real creature meant that it needed to go. -[Unbreakable Formation] was just bad. I never could leave up enough mana to effectively use it and it simply was to situational.

-[Consul's Lieutenant] has always just been a necessary evil to me. Now I finally have a reason to cut it.

-[Fragmentize] was cheap and effective however it was to limited in the things it could effect for it to be effective enough.

-[Immortal Servitude] was good at the recursion it provided however by requiring at least 4 mana it was not as reliable as I would have liked.

What's being Added:

+[Charming Prince] is the card I have been waiting for. A cheap creature that does everything I could want. Low on life, here's some life. Need Creatures/Lands well let me help with that. Want some bigger creatures let e blink that Thalia's Lieutenant for ya. I eagerly await this card as I really think that it is what this deck has needed.

+[Faith's Shield] kamarupa has convinced me that this is the way to go. It's ability to protect not just our creatures, but the removal as well is very useful. The fateful hour is joust amazing two it basically gives you 1 free turn to do either not die or to attack with reckless abandon.

+[Mirran Crusader] hoses black and green decks (sometimes burn too) it's simple, but it gets the job done.

+[Return to the Ranks] this deck struggles with wraths, which is why I played Immortal servitude. However, this deck also struggles with mana so I turned to a more mana conservative option.

+[Sorcerous Spyglass] I found that this deck struggles against UW control. So I wanted a card that would slow them down a bit.

+[Worship] a good catch all card. At 4-mana this card certainly asks a lot but its effect is just to good to pass up.

+[Snow-Covered Plains] Lastly we have a minor change, but a neccessary one. This deck need 2 mana on turn 2, and 3 mana by turn 4. Without that the deck fails. So while this deck doesn't like flooding it will survive.

Thanks for reading!

I've also considered Thraben Inspector as a possible candidate for draw-card, in the event you want more or another option.

I'm also a pretty big fan of Faith's Shield in the single-target protection category because it works on all permanents and for the potentially amazing Fateful Hour added range, which is particularly useful vs similarly fast Burn decks when one turn can be the difference between a win and a loss.

Faith's Shield is certainly interesting I will have to look into that. Thraben Inspector also might be useful, but this deck usually doesn't get a lot of mana and it may prove to slow. However I will certainly look into it.

I'm liking the looks of Countryside Villa as a possible non-basic. https://mythicspoiler.com/ted/cards/countrysidevilla.html

I was interested in that one to, but I think it will harms the early game to much for its pay off. I am however extremely interested in Charming Prince . I've been wanting to replace Consul's Lieutenant for a while now and he seems perfect!

It's true t4 is kind of late for just one +1/+1. Saw Charming Prince, also, but I wasn't sold on any of the options.
