really? no Worldspine Wurm ?

TwistedMoonlight I don't have Worldspine Wurm because honestly, I don't think there's much I could take out. I'm trying to figure out how to work in Lurking Predators (Thanks TrevHulkC but even that is a problem. The only creature I could think to take out would be Yavimaya Elder , but he's a great mana balancer and I get to draw a card. I like Sensei's Divining Top , but Mirri's Guile and Sylvan Library accomplish nearly the same thing. I'll continue to consider worldspire wurm though, because he's a super fatty. Same goes for Lurking Predators , although that's got priority at this point. Thanks for the suggestions guys!

In terms of removals/replacements, my suggestions are:

Lurking Predators for Wild Pair . Same CMC/type, so it won't mess with curve or balance. Predators will trigger far more often though, as well as controlling opponents effectively. Pair lets you double up on the 6/6s you have, but it also relies on you playing it from hand; which Mayael doesn't do. Predators also works better with Mirri's Guile and Sylvan Library .

I think Worldspine Wurm replaces Avenger of Zendikar . I don't think he does much to improve this deck. He needs more Plant tribal to really get going.

Scourge of Kher Ridges is sooooooo good. With enough mana you can blow up the board every turn.

My Mayael deck is pretty much just cheating fatties into play either using Mayael herself, Elvish Piper, or Quicksliver Amulet. I run a lot more fatties than most Mayael decks, just because I prefer to always hit a dude, when I activate her ability.

I also run quite a bit of mana ramp, which is very useful. Usually control decks can't handle me topdecking a fattie and then hardcasting it late in the game.

Also my play group is big on artifact/enchantments, so I like to run a bunch of 2-for-1 artifact/enchantment hate. I see you have return to dust. wear/tear and Hull Breach are really good. Hull breach is sorcery speed though. :/

I actually run blood moon in my deck, because most of my deck is basic with a couple fetches. The ramp package usually fixes my mana pretty well.

Vexing Shusher will win you games against control decks. One he resolves there isn't a whole lot they can do to you.

Good looking deck! I always like seeing Mayael do her thing! The name alone warrants alone +1.

I'd recommend Craterhoof Behemoth

No Sun Titan or Inferno Titan? Flavor foul, man.

December 6, 2014 11:18 a.m.

Ha! Thanks ExileThis, I actually had Inferno Titan in this deck, but he was quite underwhelming. Also, Sun Titan does not fit my theme at all... BUT WAIT, I do have the Eldrazi Titans, so I feel this more than makes up for it, amiright?

ExileThis says... #9

Yeah, not much cmc 3 or less in Mayael. Inferno Titan is good in token heavy metas, but is kind of bland. Oh, just remembered this new card from Khans, See the Unwritten. I would definitely play that.

It's "Sind wir das Essen? Nein, wir sind die Jager!"

Greetings from germany.

December 7, 2014 3:24 p.m.

Thank you EpicFreddi I thought that's what it was, and that's how I've always said it (Are we the food vs. Are y'all the food) but when I looked up the quote online it said "ihr." Having someone to straighten that out is nice, since I was too lazy to just watch the opening credits haha

December 7, 2014 4:31 p.m.

EpicFreddi says... #12

Oh well I thought you wanted to alter the actual quote.

Taken from the intro, it's "Sie sind das Essen und wir sind die Jager". (Meaning: They're the prey and we're the hunters)

Your title means "Are we the prey? No, we are the hunters!" Same meaning, but.. well.. stuff.

December 7, 2014 5:38 p.m.

Ok, so I got motivated and watched the video of the opening credits, and just typed word-for-word the subtitles at the bottom. Cut n' paste FTW!

EpicFreddi says... #14

Still not right though..

"Nein, wir sind die Jager!"

December 9, 2014 1:49 p.m.

I know you're right, because there are multiple hunters; however, I'm going with the actual intro song that I just linked above. Because if the Japanese translated it wrong, then I might as well, too. :)

Very nice theme for a deck, definite +1. Wild Pair just goes well with it and I'd like to recommend it. Keep in mind that it's combined / not individual meaning a 8/6 can pull out a 7/7. Also, since you like big creatures and seem to favor aggro I'm going to do dome shameless self advertising and mention my deck, Clash of Wills; Braids, Conjurer Adept. A fast cheat-out-big-creatures oriented deck this one is designed around both dropping large Titan-like monsters on top of stealing and cloning the biggest threats on the field. Figure you might like the deck a little.

You need an Emrakul, the Aeons Torn to complete the Eldrazi aspect of this deck. +1 for building this hella redic deck!!

December 10, 2014 3:12 p.m.

dagan94 I really like your deck, my buddy had a mono blue Braids deck that worked well because of the Hug aspect of Braids. He recently rebuilt the deck using Jalira, Master Polymorphist for his own self-hug that gets big sea monsters out for cheap. I'm gonna take a more detailed look at it now, but big fatties FTW!

TheLoneDart would that I could, unfortunately Emrakul is banned in EDH. I tried once to get that overturned as a house rule in my playgroup, let's just say that didn't fly even a little...

Titan Forge fits the titan theme. Not the best card, but hey, titans

December 11, 2014 9:13 a.m.

TheLoneDart says... #20

Doom_of_Valyria that's understandable because Emrakul is extremely OP. I have a copy in a blue/red creature deck that I have (use Quicksilver Amulet to get it out for 4 mana) and every single time I've played Emrakul I've won the game haha. Whatever tho, your deck is already sinister enough without him!

Not running Sun Titan or Inferno Titan feels like a missed opportunity....

December 14, 2014 5:06 p.m.

Ha Araganor, thank you, I now refer you to comment #2 :)

December 14, 2014 8:36 p.m.

Araganor says... #23

I still agree with comment #1 however :P

smackjack says... #24

Meerschweinchen.. thats a german word thats hard to spell.. Pattern of Rebirth and Defense of the Heart could both be good in this deck..
