Hello!
Please share some advice for my Nissa deck. The idea was to spice up mono green with some of the newly arrived planeswalkers - Nissa obviously being the number 1 pick here. I might have overdone it a little, however. (I often end up trying too many things at once and end up with inconsistent decks...). So please, let me know what you think how far off this build really is. Thx!
As far as this build goes, this was my reasoning:
This deck aims to ramp during the early turns and create board pressure with
Llanowar Elves
,
Incubation Druid
,
Growth-Chamber Guardian
and
Steel Leaf Champion
. The 3 copies of
Nullhide Ferox
are optional here and create counter-synergy with the planeswalkers but since a lot of discard is around I thought I´d better include a few.
God-Eternal Rhonas
and
End-Raze Forerunners
are meant to be played as finishers and can be tutored with
Finale of Devastation
.
Best case scenario you can play
Nissa, Who Shakes the World
turn 3 and start creating more pressure, if needed. Else, just wait for ultimate and fill board with lands.
Nissa's Triumph
can fetch the WAR lands in the meantime.
Ugin, the Ineffable
is in the deck mainly, because he is my new favourite PW (weak reasoning, I know..). He still provides card advantage, creates bodies and can be used as removal.
Karn, the Great Creator
fills the gap with sideboard cards you might need. First artifact to pick here could
Chromatic Lantern
or
Gilded Lotus
to be able to cast
Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God
. Don´t judge me, I had to include him into this build! :D But even if opponent destroys the mana fixing artifacts, Bolas could be cast with the help of
Interplanar Beacon
. Worst case he ends up being discarded for a
Vivien's Arkbow
activation.
I included
Regenesis
and
Ignite the Beacon
as one-ofs for some situational adjustments.
Bond of Flourishing
helps with that as well and also adds some life gain. As far as lands go, I included two copies of
Blast Zone
for extra removal and a single copy of
Field of Ruin
.
Maybeboard
Possible candidates could be
Kraul Harpooner
or
Prey Upon
. I also kinda like the
Arboreal Grazer
as
Thief of Sanity
is becoming more and more popular and it also helps with pesky mono blue a little more.
Any advice is appreciated and please don´t hate me for the Bolas attempt too much ^^ He is most likely to be excluded from the list.
Thank you!
EDIT
Regenesis, Ignite the Beacon and Bolas OUT. 3 x Thrash/threat IN. Interplanar Beacon replaced with Forest. Gilded Lotus and Chromatic Lantern removed from Sideboard. Suggestions?
