Extra combat is on the menu —Dec. 10, 2024

Been poking around in my collection to see what else I can use to make his pop and I remembered I have Aurelia and some other enchantment that gives an extra combat step. In theory this could get pretty gross with double power or double strike.

Still assembling the cards I have so far, so odds are I won't be doing more than gold fishing the deck here for a bit to try to fone tune it.

As for land/ mana ramp, I want it to be land ramp focused as my group does not run land destruction. Going with that instead of typical mana rocks should hopefully lead to more permanents sticking to the table and let's me be far more free with the board wipes.

Should have the list adjusted soon to test these changes.

I really dig your intention to focus on Progenitus as the win-con. Personally I would swap out some of the "goodstuff" and tune the list more toward getting Prog out early. If you play a dork T1, a 3-cmc rock that can generate 2 mana on later turns e.g. Coalition Relic/Component Pouch/the "__ of Ramos" rocks on T2, and follow those up with a couple more ramp pieces that create 2+ mana, you can consistently get Prog out on turn 5. Then T6 could be dedicated to giving him double strike/double power and +1 to his power so you can start taking out opponents. You also wouldn't need removal with a strategy like this since you can just remove the player that controls the worst threats.

Personally I would make these swaps:

Pyrohemia -> Utopia Sprawl (you'd ideally run fetch lands so that this will always have a target, e.g. Marsh Flats into Temple Garden)
Squall line -> Deathrite Shaman (also wants fetches to be effective)
Greenseeker -> Avacyn's Pilgrim
Vraska, Relic Seeker -> Elves of Deep Shadow
Sylvan Ranger -> Sakura-Tribe Scout
Curse of the Swine -> Skyshroud Ranger
Hull Breach -> Hunting Wilds (can find nonbasic forests like Stomping Ground)
Magus of the Mirror -> Skyshroud Claim
Pongify -> Dawn's Reflection
Rapid Hybridization -> Berserkers' Onslaught
Chaos Warp -> Firemind Vessel
Generous Gift -> Relic of Sauron
Path to Exile -> Prismatic Geoscope
Blasphemous Edict -> Timeless Lotus
