What are your thoughts to using Gaea's Blessing instead of Memory's Journey?

cpantaleoz says... #2

Pistolwhip777 technically it will loop similarly to Memory's Journey I still think that journey is the better of the two. Only because of its functionality outside of the combo. Being an instant gives the added bonus of being able to remove things from a grave yard in a situation such as facing a reanimator strategy allowing for us to remove the target in response.

Hmm, when i load the List into MODO, its missing Foresight (no MTGO printing i guess), what would be a replacement tutor?

Is there a reason to run Llanowar Wastes and Yavimaya Coast over their respective Horizon lands?

ShaperSavant says... #5

Cydler Less life paid is more cards seen with our Naus/Necro/Plunge. We also don't have a ton of mana sources so don't generally want to sac them unless we're winning off the draw. I'm testing the UG and will update the stock list later if I think they belong.

Would you say this is more consistent than Breakfast Hulk?

I play on MTGO and they haven't "printed" Foresight , what would be a good replacement?

After looking at this beautiful deck I'm considering converting my Thrasios/Tymna deck into this. If you wouldn't mind taking a look to see how feasible the transition would be.

Doesn't look too difficult, you have a lot of the staples and manabase. Edgarislife

Given the rise of Urza, do we want to play anything to hate it out?

Edgarislife says... #13

Thank you Shaper. I tested the conversion out and it was so fast and nasty. Super fun deck to pilot. Mine is about 8 cards different but runs smooth enough.

Such an amazing deck. ShaperSavant is a goddamn genius.

One question: what is Entomb for?

Hi thanks for the primer and updates, love the deck, currently am playing this with the following changes:

-1 Timetwister

-1 Elvish Spirit Guide

-1 Forest

+1 Goblin Bombardment

+1 Sterling Grove or Fire Covenant - not sure which is better if had to choose? Fire covenant is probably meta dependent though but Sterling Grove is nice in any meta. Or maybe the new Dockside Extortionist will fit in here

+1 Taiga

Kindly advise. Would appreciate it a lot, thanks in advance.

ShaperSavant i don't have the OG Duals but do have all fetches/shocks... I've slotted in the shocks for the duals that aren't being ran but what would you suggest for Bayou / Tropical Island ... The fast lands Blooming Marsh / Botanical Sanctum , the canopy lands Nurturing Peatland / Waterlogged Grove or just a basic Snow-Covered Forest / Swamp ?

Team_KLK The Canopy or Fast lands.

I have been playing and following your Food Chain variants since Tazri was on top. I haven't played CEDH in a few months and am about to this weekend, so I was pleasantly surprised to see a new FC General. Thanks for all you do Savant! I cant wait to blow minds this weekend with new Sliver FC.

Opinions on Dockside Extortionist in this list? Would it merit the inclusion of Taiga ?

September 23, 2019 9:20 p.m.

ShaperSavant says... #22

impendio I am working through testing Dockside update's mana needs now.

It will be ESG -> Dockside and Llanowar Wastes -> Taiga (if necessary).

What's your opinion on Temur Sabertooth for this deck, now that the combo with Dockside Extortionist is possible?

Your deck lists and primers are invaluable for getting into cedh. I'm planning to try this out soon and I wanted to say thanks for the excellent deck list/guide.

Hello ShaperSavant, do you see Laboratory Maniac as a flex card in this deck? I feel like cutting it for a card that isn't 'dead' on it's own, maybe Sterling Grove for example. Or do you think it's a must-have for redundancy, when you want to combo off? If so, wouldn't it be better to play Aetherflux Reservoir/Goblin Bombardment as a finisher? Since you don't need to remove your library with those cards.
