Maybe add some Spirebluff Canal because it's a u/r land

NippDip I was thinking about adding Spirebluff Canal, but I think I already have my mana base pretty well balanced, so that would be a little unnecessary. However, if in the future I start running into situations where I would have wanted a Spirebluff Canal instead of a Prairie Stream or Inspiring Vantage, I will be sure to rethink my decision.

Deploy the Gatewatch, although a fun card, is a wasted card slot in this deck.

Bovine073 While I love having Deploy the Gatewatch in here, I do admit that there could be better cards in that slot. What would you suggest I play instead, I have been thinking about putting in Combustible Gearhulk instead, but there are many other cards that I could use as well.

That was actually one of the first cards I had thought of, didn't see it on the maybeboard so I was hesitant to suggest it. I can see it doing a lot of work in this deck.

I am actually going to try two things. One will be taking out the Cataclysmic Gearhulk and Deploy the Gatewatch for 2x Spell Queller. Since this deck is already leaning towards control, this will help even more. The other thing I will playtest is taking out only the Deploy the Gatewatch for Combustible Gearhulk. This will add card advantage and burn.

doctaBernau I fail to see why having a toolbox-like approach to a deck is silly. In a deck like this, its all about getting value out of a bunch of 1-for-1's and 1-for-2's. Incendiary Flow is by far a better play than Harnessed Lightning in this deck. It hits both creatures and players (including planeswalkers), and also exiles the creatures it kills. Finally, considering this deck went 3-1 and 4-0 in two consecutive FNM's, and also kicks butt in competitive playteseting, I would call this a successful build. But hey, what am I saying; toxic and useless comments are always helpful!

itachi45 Thank you very much for your upvote. Do you have any suggestions that you might like to point out?

Actually, I really like that idea of Unsubstantiate. I used it before in one of my earlier EMN decks but I completely forgot about it. Thats actually perfect for early game creature and spell control. I think I'll try it out. As for Oath of Gideon, however, I had that in an earlier version of the deck, but I ended up dropping it because it just didn't do enough for me. Especially with the more controlling way the deck is going now, I don't think it has a place in here anymore. Thank you for your advise. It was definitely not irrelevant, and it was greatly appreciated!

Nice looking deck. Have you considered Animation Module? It can add loyalty counters to planeswalkers, getting you to the ults much quicker.

PatScar I feel that Animation Module is a little too slow for this deck. There are not many open slots in this deck right now, and having an artifact that does nothing for most of the time is not very efficient. If I had more things focused on +1/+1 counters I would consider it, but for now I don't think I can.

+1 looks like a super fun deck to play! Have you thought about adding Saheeli Rai the -2 she has would combo great with your Nahiri/emakrul combo you have going or combo her with your combustible.

Anyways cool deck!

primtj17 says... #15

sandfrog Thank you so much for the upvote! Saheeli Rai is a card I had in an earlier version of this deck. However, since then I have taken out many of the creatures I had in this deck. Now, the only targets I have for her -2 are Goblin Dark-Dwellers and Combustible Gearhulk. Her +1 is kind of helpful, but it just seems like a less powerful version of Chandra, Torch of Defiance's. But, I am willing to try her again. Do you have any suggestions of what I could take out to fit her in?
