Wow! +1 for sure. I love the deck, the description, and everything. I would love to see your Rhys the Redeemed version.

2 Questions:

  1. How do you put pics and links in the description?

  2. Would you mind checking out my Rhys deck and give me thoughts?

Fatboy26105 I would love to look at your deck, thanks for checking out mine!

Answers for your first question:

For the links I usually do this (ignore the spaces): [ how you want the link to look like ] ( the link itself ) without the spaces it should look like THIS

For pics (again ignore the spaces): < center > < img src = "LINK" alt= "Name of the Pic" > < /center > without the spaces its should look like this:

SoulSisters

I usually upload pics to imgur.com, then used the link from there.

Elemental Bond could help with the card draw

DarkZedCannon Woah, I didn't even know this card existed, I'll have to check it out it out. Thanks for the suggestion!

What about Abundance ?

Enough lands ? Draw all the gas !

Plus, it combos well with all other hard draw spells. Only drawback: Oponents get to see your draws if you choose to activate the effect.

What about Parallel Lives?

cian114 says... #11

Mandalorian I've moved away quite a bit from the token strategy, so parallel lives would turn into a dead card more often than not.

I believe Abundance + Sylvan Library is just draw three of whatever you want in a turn, without the life loss. Abundance says when you draw, which you draw 3 from Sylvan Library so 3 triggers, to name a land or nonland then put it into your hand. It lets you forgo the put back trigger and loss of life from Sylvan Library if I am not mistaken. Plus late game it lets you filter through your deck like mentioned before.

On a side note of Elemental Bond it does not specify that you MAY draw a card, so you can unintentionally deck yourself if you make too many tokens, say with a kiki-jiki infinite combo or the likes.

May I ask why you are not running the card Birthing Pod? It is such a good card and can honestly win you the game. More tutors! Also Survival of the Fittest would be great along with Evolutionary Leap, they let you play your little dudes and make them into something better!

Last but not least Genesis Wave can hands down win you a game or at least set you up to win if your opponent doesn't answer it. This card is crazy good and goes great with green because of its ability to ramp.

jaeger_Konig Thank you for your comment and suggestions! You sold me on Abundance's potential. I have Pods laying around (I had planned on building pod a month before it was banned) so I'll have to try it out. I will be testing Evolutionary Leap for in my elves deck, but now, I may consider it for my other decks as well.

I see you're running quite a few legendary creatures mainboard. Did you ever consider Captain Sisay, either as one of the 100, or even the commander? She's a lot more playable competitively than Dromoka. Essentially a tutor on a stick, she'd make that Darien + Trostani combo appear that much more often. She can grab more than legendary creatures, too. Anything with the legend tag can be tutored, including Gaea's Cradle, Serra's Sanctum, and other absurdly broken cards. You wouldn't even really be loosing out on Dromoka, as you could always choose her as your first target for Sisay's ability.

Also, no Mana Crypt? :(

NarejED Oddly enough I've never considered Captain Sisay, I'll definitely try her out. Ive taken out Darien, though, he was better when Trostani was the commander of the deck. ALso there's no Mana Crypt or Gaea's Cradle yet because I don't have that much money to spend. I've been building this deck for 2 years that's why it looks like this, now. I do plan on getting them at some point though, hopefully next year.

Minus Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger and Iona, Shield of Emeria (not a fan of either, though I do own a voice) this deck is great!

cian114 says... #19

snotice why don't you like the cards? too oppressive?

I run them because I don't really go too wide with the deck, so having bombs like these two give value. Also, they result in pretty interesting interactions (mostly salt).

I like controlling the things that occur on the battlefield, but Iona goes way too far. It might just be me being not as competitive as some. I've just never like the card. People can choose colors I don't even use and I still don't like her.

Anyways, Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger I actually don't think is too bad, just hard too work around. At least, with Voice you can actually play the game if it is on the board, even if at times you don't have the mana for a couple of turns. Moreover, half my playgroup hates this card, half don't care, lol.

cian114 says... #21

snotice i wouldn't want an Iona cast against me either. But if you find yourself going against broken combos, a broken card like Iona takes them out of a game. I'm not the kind of guy who casts Iona just cause, I'll usually cast it if someone's being a dick...

Between you and me, I added her to the deck because I bought FtV Angels...

snotice says... #22

I totally understand why you did. she is a strong card. I truly do enjoy the way in which you have constructed the deck. My decks tend to be mostly selesnya with a splash of red or black, but by far selesnya is my favorite guild. Keep up the good work.

cian114 says... #23

snotice It's always good to bump into other GW players! I tend to build decks with GW, too, though I add blue instead of red or black.

:) Understandable. Bant is a fun color. Haven't gone down that road yet. Maybe one day when I have a job that can actually afford this hobby, lol.

Love the idea. I like that you are utilizing Dragonlord Dromoka. These dragons are so good. I would say Dromoka and Ojutai are probably the best 2 suited for Generals of the bunch though. I just built a Dragonlord Ojutai EDH. It's primary purpose is to control the board and while utilizing Ojutai to kill them. I am trying to work out a couple different ways to make the deck work the way I would like. If you could help me, I would appreciate it. Bears, Beets, Battlestar Galactica
