If you want to Splash BLACK, HERE'S your sideboard —April 8, 2016

4 Swamps 3x Evolving WIlds 3x Unnatural Endurance 3x Foul-Tongue Shriek 2x Touch of Moonglove

Take out 4 forests, three mountains, and there's your spot for swamps and evolving wilds. I'd recommend dropping 4x Confront the unknown and 1 rush of adrenaline for 3x unnatural endurance and 2x foul-tongue shrieks and then adjust it next game.

This deck looks like a howling good time, Well done!

So im going to make a version of this but with Titan's Strength, Uncaged Fury, Vines of the Recluse, and Cryptolith Rite. Wish Ranger's Guile was still standard legal but oh well

Just cite me, bro ;D

Vines of the Recluse is in there, and four of them too. Most of them are on sideboard because i'd rather have things like Confront the Unknown in there main deck for the card draw, and if the enemy has a lot of fliers i can sub in Vines of the recluse.

I have one Titan's strength on sideboard just cause. I prefer Rush of Adrenaline because it adds trample.

Ranger's guile would definitely be going in the deck if it was standard legal lol.

Cryptolithe might be nice maybe but i'm going for the consistancy and i'm not doing bad on mana and card draw, especially since the average CMC is below 2. Make the deck, paste the link in the comments, and it would be cool to playtest them against each other. :P

OMG just play-tested this and Zada was OP, I'm going show this to a friend, he'll love it! GG on the deck build!

The land feels a little low after playtesting it. Tribal humans was beating it up in testing... if the deck doesn't drop a Zada early, it loses pretty badly. That said, it looks like a lot of fun and there are plenty of decks in the meta it should compete with. +1If you want to run the Playtest yourself, Kytheon, Hero of Ormendahl 2.0

I think i'll be fine on the lands since the cmc is lower than a two drop, and losing pretty badly is relative. Turn 5 with 36 creatures +54/+52 trample is pretty bad (wolves winning, 2wins-2losses so far) ;D That being said, I do think the white whinies meta can be strong if I am unable to get a Zada or any of my silverfur partisans, or i can't build up the base of timberpack wolves.

That still might change this August when origins goes out of standard. You'll have to say goodbye to a lot of good cards and i'll have to say goodbye to might of the masses. That deck was really really fun to play against and i'd recommend people looking at it ;D

The deck looks great mate but seems too reliant on Zada for your wins. Whats more is after the first game your opponent will know that Zada must be removed immediately and cards like Harness the Storm get SB'ed against. How do you come back from a Zada getting exiled?

I've play tested this against removal decks with madness and vampires and what happens is i still have more than enough creatures and instants to go head to head. Zadas is a part of the deck, not the only part of the deck, which is why i'm winning for the most part against the decks I've tried out. Ironically enough I don't use harness the storm that often just like I don't use the planes walker that often because it's only one of 60 cards, so anything that goes to waste removing it i'm still fine with. Zada ends the game just about immediately if you don't get rid of him, but he's not the only way to win. I've got rush of adrenaline and might of the masses so as long as you're worried about harness the storm i'll do more than just fine.

This is by far one of the best decks I've been playtesting against. At first, when I wasn't so good with it it had problems with esper control and g/w humans, but I've found that once you get to understanding it, the esper eventually fizzles out and can't keep controlling the countless waves, and the g/w humans won't win unless it establishes board presence at the same time as perfect control draws, which isn't happening. Honestly, the ONLY deck that I can get to consistently win against this is abzan elves, and i think they won't be too popular (and I doubt anyone but maybe 1 person at any given LGS will pilot it), and it's just a weird matchup since they have speed and control, but anyhow, awesome job! Thanks a ton man.

Might I suggest Swell of Growth? It lets you dump all the extra lands you get from your expedites and use them to cast more spells and just combo off, if you have Silverfur. Deck looks awesome, I had the same idea when I saw silverfur glad to see people have made cool decks off it
