More Tribal Support —Aug. 23, 2021

With there being no more Pegasi in the deck I've added more tribal support in the form of Adaptive Automaton and Metallic Mimic. They have been switched with Littjara Glade-Warden and Gladewalker Ritualist

I will also be adding in a proxy version of Faceless Agent soon. It will be switched with Valiant Changeling.

I would really like to find a way to slot Door of Destinies back in without taking out Cathars' Crusade, as Door of Destinies will function better now that the deck is devoted to one tribe; however the noncreatures in this deck feel so optimized that I can't figure out what to switch. Perhaps a buff like door of destinies has no spot among cards that work to ramp up and spam out creatures. Cards like Vanquisher's Banner and Mirari's Wake just do so much more, even if the buff is smaller.

There can never be too many unicorn decks! I used to have Emiel the Blessed myself, but I did go ahead and make the jump to Lathiel, the Bounteous Dawn .

You mention that you used to have knights in the deck. Would you find sufficient support for a knight/unicorn tribal in GW?

There are a couple good knight lords out there, as well as many cards that care about knights. There are definitely more cards that care about knights than unicorns. Sadly, Eldraine put a lot of stuff that cares about knights on cards in RWB. I'm sure using knights instead of changelings (what I am switching for the Pegasi) could yield fruitful results, however there really aren't a whole lot of green knights (just like there aren't a lot of green unicorns).

The flavor is there for sure, so hey, go for it.

The reason I prefer Emiel to Lathiel is because I have a whole lot more cards in my deck with ETB effects than I do cards with lifegain. In fact my whole strategy basically hinges on ETB triggers (mainly draw triggers).
