how did u tap the llanowar without haste?

If you don't mind powering down your deck for the sake of budget, what would be good alternatives for the following cards? 1x Ancient Tomb 1x Gemstone Caverns 1x Memory Jar 1x Misty Rainforest 1x Phyrexian Dreadnought 1x Scroll Rack 1x Survival of the Fittest 1x Sylvan Library 1x Verdant Catacombs 1x Wooded Foothills 1x Gaea's Cradle 1x Mana Crypt 1x Mox Diamond Gaea's cradle has to be Growing rites of Itlemoc right? Phyrexian Dreadnought can be replaced by any huge artifact creature, so a "Ancient Stone Idol" or "Darksteel Colossus". and the fetch lands can be the cheaper kind, but what about the rest? I don't have 1600+ $ to spend on a deck, so I understand that I might not be as fast as this, I just really like this concept.

@LocalGameGroup

5 жыл бұрын

So, I’ll be talking budget/meta choices a little later this month, but... Ancient Tomb -> Shrine of the Forsaken Gods/Temple of the False God Memory Jar -> Slate of Ancestry (for Draw potential) Phyrexian Dreadnought -> Buff Spell/Low CMC, High Power Creature Scroll Rack -> Sensei’s Divining Top (Still $$$) Survival of the Fittest -> Fauna Shaman Gaea’s Cradle -> Nythkos, Shrine to Nyx Fetch Lands -> Basic Fetches/Hickory Woodlot or Havenwood Battleground Mana Crypt -> Sol Ring/Mana Vault Anything I did not list does not have a suitable replacement. cEDH, in general, is about efficiency of Mana: *doing more for less.* Sadly, the most efficient cards in the format are expensive. However, if you are trying to reduce the cost of my list, run over the cards I have just listed as replacement. -Patrick

So does this still work on T3 even if you dont top deck a land, or is it just harder to perform without that third land drop?

@LocalGameGroup

4 жыл бұрын

Yeah, totally does. If you have a Dork and two Lands, you can still easily go off with a 1-to-2 cmc big Creature or Buff, an Untap effect or Draw Spell, there are a multitude of combinations to help you out in that scenario so you do hit your Land. Also, on that note, if you can *avoid* playing a Land on Combo Turn, that’s even better. As we want to utilize all are Untap effects to include Wirewood Lodge.

Minor nitpick, but having the logo over Patrick's face at the start looks... off. Difficult to process. It's hard to read the logo, and one of the card outlines in the logo appears over Patrick's face like a squiggly mustache. Perhaps add a white background within the logo. If you want to preserve the transparency of the logo, perhaps have the white background fade first, then the entire logo. That aside... this is phenomenal!Seriously, high marks in all categories.

Cause Walking Ballista adds nothing to this deck and is dead outside of being an outlet. There are cards in deck that allow us to go for a win. Though their play lines may be complicated, it’s worth knowing.

Land grant is neat, but would have the same odds for casting Selvala if it was a basic forest. Turn one shuffle is likely irrelevant, and 1 card deck thinning does not appreciably matter.

@LocalGameGroup

5 жыл бұрын

(Replied to this very comment)... *Land Grant* is two cards for one, being able to effectively thin out your draws and produce better ones is always relevant. It can provide a Forest *or* a Dryad Arbor in a pinch as well as secure a turn two Selvala. An ability like that, for zero mana, is far more valuable than throwing in another Basic. -Patrick

I feel as if the argument for land grant is a bit flawed....the main argument is that it can be used to fetch a land to play selvala on time. However a land in its stead would provide the exact same thing. The only benefits it has are deck slimming (which is largely irrelevant) and shuffling which is relevant since you play Scroll Rack.
