have you thought of Nath of the Gilt-Leaf? In multiplayer it is really fun and combos off really well with Sadistic Hypnotist. Wait a second:
you don't have Doubling Season??? or Primal Vigor??? I can tell that this is mainly a combo deck, but Doubling Season is one of the biggest staples for all ghave decks.

@miracleHat: I never thought of Nath of the Gilt-Leaf, I'll have to find a place for that. I don't play Doubling Season yet because I just haven't gotten it, and I don't play Primal Vigor because my roommate, one of my main opponents, plays Marath, Will of the Wild.

I get Primal Vigor. That being said, you should suggest it to said roommate ;)

Hah! Good idea, maybe he'll take the bait.

Falkenrath Noble Ivy Lane Denizen just as more ways to combo out to make the deck have a better chance at getting the combo it needs.

also Tooth and Nail your going for combo I take it, so there is no reason not to run it and just win. might as well throw in a Mikaeus, the Unhallowed and Triskelion

I_TappedWrong says... #7

also Fiend Hunter and Sun Titan plus sac outlet equals infinite death loop for Blood Artist or Falkenrath Noble

you could also run Altar of the Brood just incase of blood artist dying early game.

just as a good card suggestion Academy Rector looks like a really big help in this deck as well. good utility.

sun titan also has an infinite death loop with Gift of Immortality plus sac outlet.

January 21, 2015 11:01 p.m.

I_TappedWrong says... #9

you could also just add Teysa, Orzhov Scion for more infinite mana and token and death loop with Phyrexian Altar and Nether Traitor

late game Genesis Wave could just dump a combo on your battlefield as well. all these suggestions are just if you don't want any friends to play magic with. plus there is a ton of other artifacts that sac and do stuff like mill and damage infinite number of time to add, but all my suggestions I believe could be put in the deck without altering your game play too much, and might even make the deck more consistent.

I win through combo, but I don't want too many combos. When there are too many different combos, it dilutes the deck and I draw into too many random cards that don't interact with anything else. For that reason, I do not play Mikaeus, the Unhallowed and Triskelion.

I already have 3 effects for Ivy Lane Denizen, and I don't really need a fourth.

Tooth and Nail is only good if I play the Mike&Trike combo.

Altar of the Brood is just a bad version of Altar of Dementia.

I don't really need or want Gift of Immortality. I don't have very much reanimation because this is not a reanimator deck, but I do have some for utility purposes, and they do a better job than Gift of Immortality.

I used to play Teysa, Orzhov Scion as my commander before I decided Ghave was more fun. She requires a different, though similar, strategy, and usually wins with Blasting Station, which I already cut because it wasn't an effective sac outlet in this deck.

Genesis Wave doesn't do much here without much ramp. I doubt I'll ever cast it for more than 10, and that's the absolute max. GWave needs to be at least 20 to be effective.

The cards from your suggestions I'm considering are Falkenrath Noble, Fiend Hunter, and Academy Rector. It's always nice to have a second Blood Artist and I feel like I can do some perma-exile shenanigans with Fiend Hunter.

Academy Rector is a bit iffy because it's pricey, and has a conditional effect. I may get it at some later point, but probably no time soon.

I feel youre wrong about two things one being tooth and nail, its the best tutor in magic hands down. you can still tutor a win con with what you have in the deck right now.

the other is gwave, for this you need to look at your CMC of all your spells... you have one I repeat one freakin 8 drop haha you could hast gwave for 7 even 6 and still pull good things out of your deck! and that goes for lands as well! at any means you could use it for ramp haha

I do understand gwave does not go in every deck, but when your e sitting there with an experienced edh player who knows gave combos and all your 2 draw engines are blown up gwave still does work.

I'll think over Tooth and Nail, but I would still need a sac engine to make my targets worth it. I still don't like Genesis Wave, considering a quarter of the deck is instants and sorceries. I feel like I would lose too much vale.

January 22, 2015 2:05 a.m.

I_TappedWrong says... #14

Yeah it's a price to pay but like I said late game no way do I mean cast it as soon as you get it.

It's more like a panic button when you're top decking and anything is better than nothing. Gwave can make it happen.

Another thing I like to tooth and nail for is Regal Force and Avenger of Zendikar. It's not a hey look I win move but a super awesome way to reload your hand.

Gavony Township could do some work in this deck.

-Fulcrum says... #16

It was in here originally, but never really did anything. Whenever I made tokens, it was infinite tokens. It's just a colorless land here.

Orc Sureshot is very powerful in Ghave.

Love the deck. I was building something similarhttp://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/28-01-15-mCr-token-madness/

I was focusing more on tokens though.

February 13, 2015 2:01 p.m.

-Fulcrum says... #22

@WicKid52: It might be better in a more token-oriented build. I don't have a lot of creatures entering the battlefield until I go infinite, and I've already won at that time.

@IamFrums: Thanks for the feedback.
