Maybeboard


  • A stompy list where we want each creature we cast to have an immediate impact on the board and then be a combat threat the following turn to snowball out of control.



  • Selvala, Explorer Returned leads because her ability to come down early to get us ahead on both , life, and card advantage really helps the deck tick. Instill Energy is especially good with her for an extra activation but equally good on another creature to give Haste to smash in immediately.

  • Karametra, God of Harvests was our previous leader but she was too slow. If I didn't have a ramp spell we were not doing much till T6 which was sometimes our death knell. She is still great and fits our parameters so into the ramp category she goes!



  • Definitely will have to casually drop pre-game that this is not a competitive Selvala list. That will become quickly evident but people may want to kill us anyway once they see how we can churn out threat after threat.

  • Thought-Knot Seer may seem an odd inclusion but I have found its hand-hate to be crucial in stymieing a combo or blowout removal.

  • Blind Obedience pulls double duty in draining and buffing life but in stymieing our opponents from immediately having blockers, which works perfectly within our strategy.

  • Genesis is especially helpful because we are so creature heavy. Making our graveyard an extension of our hand late-game in case we flood out could swing the game back in our favor. Especially with a couple ways to avoid being overrun Angelsong.

Thoughts to improve are welcome and appreciated!
