I'd add Skinshifter. 8/8 with one mana when Doran is in play.

I wouldn't

His goal is to combo, that doesn't help the combo at all.

Alright, I'm playing it like this tomorrow. Come back this evening to hear about why it didn't work this time.

Or, alternatively, how everyone hates me now. Either one.

Good luck.

Update forthcoming. The deck works very well, but still has some issues.

Swaps I made before playing:
Forest > Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth
Ramosian Lieutenant > Necropotence
Greed > Erebos, God of the Dead

Necropotence was a cheap buy at the LGS, and a big power addition. Though it turns out a turn 3 Necropotence gets you hated out pretty quick. Anyone who was smart saved theirs until late.

Wish I'd kept Greed over Erebos; the life matters and his other stuff does not.

OK, played 4 games, all 5-6 players. Got a couple of kills and no wins, though a misplay cost me one.* Devoted Druid + Quillspike works very nicely. Green Sun's Zenith + Dryad Arbor is absolutely as good as advertised, and in general, I had all my pieces at least once a game. Lin Sivvi, Defiant Hero is a solid addition, too.

And not that this is news to anyone except filthy casuals like me, but damn are Necropotence and Birthing Pod fun to play. Pod especially rewards you for knowing every creature in your deck, which makes it really gratifying when you use it to pull out a solution.

In other "good cards are good" news, Eternal Witness: Very Useful. Ooh, and I used my shiny new Demonic Tutor. What I'm sayin' is, anyone who says you can't buy your way to being better at Magic is sorely mistaken. The $25 worth of cards I mentioned in these last two paragraphs are a serious kick in the pants to my ability to win EDH games.

* Okay, here's how I messed up: I had Vedalken Orrery out and needed to respond to an attacker or lose. I flashed in Doran, the Siege Tower to block, and I should have flashed in Daru Spiritualist and Shuko and been able to attack for lethal the turn after. Oh well.

YOU GET A FOLDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aw yiss

Bulwer: Yeah, as far as the "my deck is worth more than yours", money does make a difference in play. I always laugh when people want to build top tier decks "on a budget". You can build something similar, but it will always be slower than the more expensive to buy alternatives.

On the note of Birthing Pod, for combo decks especially its super important to know your deck. Thats usualyl why I don't lend my Saffi Eriksdotter deck out to other players, especially newer ones - the deck is super non-linear and unless you know it intimately you don't really have a chance of playing it properly. I think the only person I would trust to play the deck properly is my girlfriend, and thats since I bounce most card choice ideas off of her.

But it sounds like you're learning your deck more which is super good. And it means you'll be more suited in a wide variety of matchups.

Out of curiosity, why are your running Vendetta over something like Path to Exile? it hits less targets and the life-loss can be quite high (if you're trying to kill a Kozilek, Butcher of Truth or something).

Because I didn't have a Path to Exile until yesterday, when I opened a Primeval Titan and promptly traded for one. Thanks for reminding me!

enpc, that is. Forgot to tag you in that last one.

Oh, the other thing is that I traded for a Fauna Shaman, so that's gotta find a place. That and my shiny new terribly-beat-up Sylvan Library.

Greed --> Sylvan LibraryIncreasing Ambition --> Fauna Shaman

This means I need more green. Fellwar Stone --> Selesnya Signet. Maybe I can make room for an elf.

Nature's Claim --> Reclamation Sage

Orzhov Signet --> Llanowar Elves. Need more creatures for Fauna Shaman and Birthing Pod. Don't need B or W.

One thought: Cut Utopia Tree for Wood Elves, and find something else to cut for Skullclamp. ]

How exactly do the infinite combos with en-Kor creatures work?

You can use the en-Kor ability even if there's no damage, so you can do it a billion times targeting one of the hitters.
