Winter Update —Feb. 25, 2023
It's been a long time since I updated this deck. Below are my changes:
Cosmetic upgrades from recent sets:
From Exotic Orchard to Exotic Orchard
//
From Ignoble Hierarch to Ignoble Hierarch
//
From Birds of Paradise
to Birds of Paradise
//
From Sylvan Library to Sylvan Library
//
From Dockside Extortionist to Dockside Extortionist
Substantive changes:
Traded Beast Within for Tear Asunder.
Cheaper Removal. Except for lands, Tear Asunder can remove everything Beast Within can. I determined it was better to accept that drawback in exchange for the one less mana. With the tutors in this deck, problematic lands can be dealt with via Chaos Warp and Song of the Dryads (which I considered swapping out for Tear Asunder, but dropped Beast Within).
//
Traded Grim Tutor for Imperial Seal.
Now that Imperial Seal is more economical than it used to be, I finally grabbed one. Both cards are sorceries. Imperial Seal puts the card on top of your deck, rather than in your hand, but I determined this is superior to being charged two more mana to get the card in your hand. Also, Imperial Seal blasts you for one fewer damage.
//
Traded Stormbreath Dragon for Shivan Devastator.
It was hard to drop Stormbreath Dragon, but I went with the greater versality of the Shivan Devastator. Both cards are dragons with flying and haste, and both can produce massive creatures. Shivan Devastator is more versatile and can even produce a bigger creature with enough mana. It was hard to let go of the Protection From White on the Stormbreath Dragon, but I determined the added versatility and flexibility from Shivan Devastator was worth it.
Let me know what you think.
