+1 just for the awesome reference.

Made a second account and +1'd again because the deck is awesome.

How many feature tokens do you have? I always see one of your decks in the featured decks!

Ok, about the deck. Why Ghostway over Ghostly Flicker? I would play with 4 Ghostly Flicker. It seems straight up better than Ghostway. Since you only play a very few ETB creatures, you don't usually have more than 2 creatures out. Therefore, the Flicker is better.

Also, why Sylvan Caryatid? Why not Noble Hierarch? That card seems a little better.

I would really play with Vendilion Clique main board. It is a good finisher, and it has an awesome ETB effect!

I generally buy feature tokens in 25's NorthernRaven. And I always go for a straight 10 days featuring my deck before I stop featuring it and move onto something else.

As for Ghostway, I'm really weak to wraths, Ghostway helps prevent that, and is an constant repeatable combo with Eternal Witness. Basically, with an Eternal Witness on the field, I can forever have blink effects available. It gets beastly when I have other effects on the field like a Mulldrifter or a Restoration Angel or a Mangara of Corondor. There's enough creatures in here that don't require to etb at instant speed for me to run 2x Ghostway and one in the side for control matchups. Sorry I haven't updated the description yet.

Sylvan Caryatid is here because A) it helps slow down aggro's first few turns, B) better than Noble Hierarch because it lets me play Blood Moon, C) better than Birds of Paradise because you can't bolt it. Bolting a mana dork can screw me over tremendously, and Sylvan Caryatid's hexproof prevents this and even makes Worship that much better.

Vendilion Clique isn't that good in the meta right now. Burn and Abzan are terrible clique games. Bloom Titan doesn't really work either because of its incredible consistency. I've once tried to kill off Bloom Titan with 4 Clique triggers in one turn. They still went off.

Thanks for the +1's Jimjoebob~

yeah as a bloom titan player i can say, i don't care about discard effects and cycle effects are often to my own benefit "discard a combo piece find another combo piece" so clique isn't great right now against the hard hitting decks (unless you're talking about twin players man i hate those guys)

The only thing Clique is good for against Bloom Titan is blinking it after you've tutored for something.

Bloom Titan tutors a lot. Isn't it pretty good, to take out their combo piece, right after they have tutored?

What about against Abzan? Isn't it good to take a Rhino? Or a Splinter against Twin?

Vendilion Clique SUCKS against anything that isn't combo control. Bloom Titan has around 9-12 different ways to get the mana for the combo and 6-8 different ways to get the combo out and 6-8 ways to tutor for the combo. I once blinked Clique 4 times against Bloom Titan. They still went off the turn after. Abzan is just pure value. Take out a value creature and either a manland comes up, more value comes up, or more land to play the other value comes up. The only decks it is good against right now are Tron, Scapeshift and Splinter Twin. It normally would have been mainboarded to shit on Pod, but Pod doesn't exist anymore.

+1 Always wanted to build this with Venser, the Sojourner... Couldn't ever get something decent...

YAY DOCTOR WHO REFERENCES!!! xD

It's mainly because planeswalker abilities aren't instant Ryotenchi.

I figured he was too slow. :P

I just like the card. Wasnt really suggesting it. ChiefBell put me in my place last year when I didnt know the f I was doing. XD

I did?

WAIT A MINUTE.

staaaaaaaaaaaare

Geeeeeeeeeeee

No-no, it's:

Jiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Mangara of Corondor and Worship just seem kinda jank. I think you'd be better off just running 4 Tarmogoyf MB and another Leyline of Sanctity in the side. Tarmogoyf works as a great aggro deterrent as it bounces off Abzan's 4/5s and eats Wild Nacatl and Goblin Guide all day. If you're going against burn or combo, then mulliganing till you have an opening hand Leyline is pretty much just game, and you have a better chance of doing that if you side 4 copies in.

Some other options. Spellskite kinda fills the goyf role. In exchange for being more defensive and not pairing well against Abzan, it does well against twin, burn, infect, and bogles. If you go with the MB goyfs, I'd recommend SB spellskite over Thrun and Sigarda.

Aven Mindcensor ruins opponent's fetch lands. Slows down Tron. Keeps Amulet from searching Titans and stuff. Not as good now that Pod is gone.

Suppression Field makes fetch lands worse, which thanks to Caryatid shouldn't matter to you. Keeps Twin from going infinite. Slows down Tron, Affinity, and Vial Merfolk. Also not as good now that Pod is gone.

Creeping Corrosion as a board wipe against Affinity and Tron.

Never want to side 4 copies of Leyline of Sanctity, DudeMan1031. Most proper modern builds only run 2, but I like mine at 3. Worship is definitely not jank, it is the best catch all card to hose affinity, merfolk, rdw, scapeshift, twin and boggles. Mangara of Corondor could perhaps be iffy, and it is still undergoing playtests. But against the decks that it is good against (combo and tron) it is very useful. Aggro I just side in Kitchen Finks.

Creeping Corrosion doesn't hit tron. I have Blood Moon, Vendilion Clique and Mangara of Corondor to hurt tron. Worship is all I need against affinity, so Suppression Field isn't needed as the decks that Suppression Field hoses, Worship hoses more so, and more decks. Spellskite isn't really needed as Worship hurts Twin just as hard, and is harder to remove for them than Spellskite is. Aven Mindcensor really doesn't do anything anymore. Hurts Scapeshift, but then so does Worship.

Oh, and Tarmogoyf is completely worthless against the decks that it should matter: Abzan, merfolk, infect, affinity and boggles. Worship hits most of those.

Leyline is best in 4 copies.

I think this has potential to be rather amazing, but for one slight problem. You have little removal of any sort, and your only non-Remand counterspell is Mystic Snake, which is a little janky, and costs more than 2 mana.

Both of these are sort of massive problems when Torpor Orb is a thing, and a thing that works against a few other prominent Modern decks, so isn't that unreasonable to see in an opposing sideboard.

Which is why I asked for general feedback on having another Mystic Snake in the deck help forum. I also don't see many Torpor Orbs to be honest with you. There are a lot better options that hurt Twin and you shouldn't be using it for Abzan and it doesn't work against Bloom Titan. Mangara of Corondor generally hates it off (I can still blink him just as fine). And I still have the Worship utility. If I find I need a lot more artifact hate, I can start putting in Bant Charm over Mangara of Corondor.

So I figured out the best way to accommodate most people's concerns about the mana base and using Sylvan Caryatid. Well, I just outright got rid of Ghostway for Birds of Paradise.

Also resetting deck slug so that I get a unique name. Someone else who built a standard deck stole my deck name from me.

Eff the bloody mana dorks. Most shite thing ever.
