BFZ Fully Spoiled —Sept. 19, 2015

Clearing up the comments now that all of BFZ is spoiled and we can examine the deck from a complete viewpoint.

Good idea man, it's overwhelming if you ask me.

Not such a great deck... I have playtested it , at least 5 times... all I got out, were some mana makers. Try to make it more aggro. As an idea, it is great, but it needs more try :) here is my upvote :D

I wouldn't be so hasty with that judgment. T/O cannot simulate hand shuffling which arguably is better to prevent dead draws and 5 or even 10 playtests isn't enough to get a relatively accurate date collection

Keep blue, use Icy Blast, you have the creatures to use it correctly. Using it when opponents attack gives to 2 turns to recover... it wins games

QuackAttack- thats accurately really interesting. I'm having a really hard time with space. what do you suggest i replace for it?

ugh... exceeded the time limit while i was trying to edit.

on second thought... its great against aggro/midrange but not against control. also, it excels in a very narrow window where there is an even board state but its also not hard to be in a superior board state with this deck. Other factors like removal and counter spells are also relevant so I'm gonna put it in the maybeboard and wait for more input

Well when i see Embodiment of Spring i think of him as a T1, but looking at your mana it seems very unlikely that you will have the blue for him. I say keep blue for control, not so much creatures. At least your early game creatures. And yes i know hes an elemental and that is the focus but you already ramp enough. Maybe take all 4 out and put 1x Undergrowth Champion and 1x more Nissa, Vastwood Seer  Flip.

What about Blighted woodland (see it on Mythic Spoilers) it's basically an explosive vegetation on a land

QuackAttack- i actually really like Embodiment of Spring as its good early ramp and good fodder for Omnath, Locus of Rage and Evolutionary Leap. i have enough blue to get it out more often than not.

Awesomenator33- it'll go in as a singleton
