problematic cards...

• Kokusho, the Evening Star: Clunky. costs 6 and wants to die so his big body is useless.
• Yavimaya Elder: Clunky. 2 green is heavy, and doesnt ramp.
• Golgari Grave-Troll: Low value. grave is often too small from digging it up to make him big.
• Solemn Simulacrum: Slow. 4 mana for 1 ramp and a card in green is so slow it hurts.
• Ophiomancer: Bad synergy. Deck has little need for instant speed sacrificing right now.

Just too expensive $$$...

Burgeoning, Phyrexian Arena, Vampiric Tutor, Eternal Witness, Exploration, Survival of the Fittest, Greater Good

Average deck counts...

• 0 board wipes
• 2 single target kill spells
• 12 ramp
• 24ish Sacrifice outlets (nonland)
• 16 creature bombs

Median curves

• 1) 8
• 2) 10
• 3) 18
• 4) 9
• 5) 10
• 6+) 7

Goals...

• Avoid frustrating opponents (Avoid lockdown, land removal, and mana disruption)
• Consistency (High land count, low curve, draw power, dual color commander)
• Cheap and unique (Preference to cheaper and less common cards when possible)
• No combo wins (No infinite combos, no milling to death, etc. Try to attack to win)

Issues from last prototype...

• Tri-color on a budget is inconsistent
• Cards were more specific, the deck built itself
• Too much spot removal
• Not enough draw power
• High curve often lead to losing momentum
• Not enough lands in deck
