From a Do-Nothing, to a... Do... Something? —July 31, 2015
Cut a lot of the not so necessary cards for some cards that a lot of the time I won't loathe seeing. Blasting Station was usually mostly useless, so I replaced it with Fiend Hunter for it's interactions with Sun Titan and some of my other cards. Replaced Disciple of Bolas because I'd rather have Mentor of the Meek always. So it's spot went to Sigil Captain who does a good job making tokens beefy enough to matter. Shriekmaw was a hard to abuse, narrow spot removal spell, a spot that goes to Karmic Guide, which combos with Reveilark. To account for all of the creatures I'm adding, and for the fact that it is slow and vulnerable to removal I've removed Fauna Shaman in favor of Diabolic Intent... A cheaper alternative as Fauna Shaman has raised in price over the past couple months. I've removed a recent addition in Garruk, Primal Hunter. I had him in here for card draw and token production but I don't need more card draw (Removed a few of the more expensive ones for more splashier cards). In it's place I've added Cathars' Crusade to combo with Ghave and to quickly make my tokens get out of hand. (Could also combo infinitely with Puppeteer Clique and a free sacrifice outlet if I could find the room for it). Life's Legacy was an easy cut for a few reasons. It was just an overcosted wrath that could help other people more than it could help this particular build of the deck like the previous versions of it. I decided to instead add in Rune-Scarred Demon as another way to find combo pieces and getting specific kinds of removal for any situation. (It's also abusable but if I get annoyed, shuffling so much this spot might just go to Avenger of Zendikar, especially with the new art that's coming out.)... Just one last card that I'm calling a "flex spot". Didn't know what to replace Deadbridge Chant with and knew I wanted it to go. Decided to try out Viscera Seer since I own it and it'll give me a free sacrifice outlet and some filtering. Considered Utopia Mycon in this spot but it seems a bit more combo-durdle than I'm going for.
Well, that's it... for now. Gonna playtest around with the deck and see whether the deck's mana base can handle the new additions. 4 more double white spells seems like it might be asking too much but I think I have the fixing. If not you might be seeing a new report.
