kinestetika Infinite Tazri casts infinitely mill our opponents out. 3 Allies is the right number for good odds on Consultation and friends not killing all our Allies.

The tempo loss of losing our mana sources and FC mana is too much. I'd rather run burst draw or more tutors/cantrips.

Do you ever find that you just don't draw into a tutor and you're just sitting there? I tried the 420 version of this deck and sometimes I win turn 4 but sometimes I just sit there.

kinestetika It's really important to have gas in your opener. You need to keep hands that have a plan.

ShaperSavant What do you think of the new dual lands from Battlebond that enters the battlefield tapped unless you have two or more opponents? Do they have a place in this deck and cEDH in general?

Bacon5131 Bond lands are near unbeatable budget options. I've Considered Morphic Pool over either Llanowar Wastes or Yavimaya Coast, but I think the green source is more important.

I like the deck, but dang man, lower your curve, you need to run Draco over Food Chain, or Progenitus for fixing.
This is totally not a joke.

How would you tweak your manabase to swap Timetwister for Wheel of Fortune?

Hey ShaperSavant if I am correct it seems like you took out Arid Mesa for Exotic Orchard. What was your reasoning behind that? does having a land dependant on your opponents mana base work better than the off colour fetch?

cpantaleoz Arid Mesa only gets Tundra and Savannah here and the lack of options is underwhelming, especially if you've exiled some cards or fetched them already.
Exotic Orchard has been fantastic. 4c is very popular right now and I haven't had any issues with it over many games. It scales to a pure, painless rainbow very quickly.

Hi! Any thoughts on Green Sun's Zenith and Dryad Arbor? It acts as a dork if you have GSZ in your opener, and the dryad is FC mana.
Is the summoning sickness too much for not playing this?

Plow We really need our lands to tap for (hopefully multiple) colors immediately. Dryad's also pretty sad in that it only exiles for 1 FC mana vs. 2 for an elf. GSZ also doesn't have much utility outside of finding mana dorks and is worse per mana spent than whatever you're paying for a natural dork.

yeetlord123 Decent option but only good if your meta isn't paying for it.

The new Assassin's Trophy seems playable as a 2nd Abrupt Decay in the deck.
Question is, what to replace it with. Im considering Gilded Drake, Gitaxian Probe or Fire Covenant.
Would love to hear what you guys think.

lynden I haven't updated it yet because I'm still thinking on how exactly to replace it, but I've cut Riftsweeper and have no intention of putting it back in. We just don't need it and those contingency lines aren't strong.
May end up putting Trophy in 1-for-1 for it.

Awesome deck!!
But I don't really understand why you're running halimar excavator?
