Why do you call it an "Aura" deck? is it because "Aurora" couldn't fit?

Like the crazy idea to your deck. Its just crazy enough to work.

I love this. Definitely sleeving it up and taking it to an fnm. Only stuff I need is the Aurora's and some of the ramp spells. Seeing my opponents disbelief as I resolve an Aurora will be priceless.

Awesome, let me know what your thoughts are. Definitely love breaking formats with ridiculous effects. Would love your input.

I'm liking the idea of resolving an Aurora only to find Surrak, the Hunt Caller and Ulvenwald Hydra in your hand. But then what would you cut? Also liking the offshoot. Too many weenies running about.

Both are great threats, the only problem I see is that next turn the other player gets to dump his/her hand as well which might pose a problem to both. Over ulvenwald hydra I would consider Oran-rief Hydra,if only for the trample

Ulvenwald Mysteries maybeish?? Maybe a bit slow. It seems janky, but what I really want to see is a Second Harvest on a few clue tokens and then The Great Aurora. Cool idea though

sooooo if u can get trilion hp why not splashing white (just few of them, 2 plains, 3 canopy vista) for a Felidar Sovereign

Had my ex's kid call me a douche for a similar build around release of BFZ. he looked baffled till I resolved aurora, then looked so betrayed :D love your build, looks like fun and mayhem right outta left field.

Amanarple - while the deck has a high propensity for life gain, usually it's just there to buy time for an Aurora, so it's more of treading water. And whenever I play this deck and get to a high life total the game is basically over anyways

This deck is a fun concept and well some folks wont be ready for it, it needs some tweaking mainly to the speed element. control decks will chop it up and make it a slow slog, counters will bring it to its knees. its just super slow and needs a shot in the arm. Cryptolith Rite might help with duskwatch but I am not sure

Javva209 says... #13

Thanks Drakemagic15 - Absolutely right, maybe rites with some more creatures would be a bit more consistent and allow for better survival against faster decks.

I have also been considering splashing blue or red for either countermagic/displacement wave and or sweepers such as radiant flames.

Could also build a green white tokens+rites that plays aurora but that seems to be a different deck entirely and the win con isn't as obvious, at that point why not play the deadly GW standard deck everyone is winning with

I assembled this and with Cryptolith Rite a turn 5 Aurora is much more possible... Changes the entire deck... Ramp to Gaea's Revenge and Bane of Bala Ged game over... Thanks for the idea i am game daying this one..

Did you make any other substitutions? What was the final build out?

Lovely deck! +1

Have you already considered a playset of Evolving Wilds?

don't seems to be a problem the land entering tapped as you ramp a lot.also, its a land that trigger twice your friends Tireless Tracker and Jaddi Offshoot.

Maybe Nissa, Vastwood Seer  Flip would be better than Deathcap Cultivator on main board.

Javva209 says... #17

Nestorcoelho - Those are both great ideas, the only reason Nissa isn't in my Main is due to budget constraints but it makes total sense, and now that I think of it evolving wilds is a no brainer. Thanks!

Have you considered adding a little bit of white? As shown before Cryptolith Rite + Secure the Wastes is a pretty lethal combination. Those tokens also work for The Great Aurora. And as mentioned before, a Second Harvest combined with the clues and soldier tokens before casting a The Great Aurora might be the best thing you can have. Although it might also be overdoing it... Love the deck, and will be making something like this again aswell

can you tell how this has been doing against other decks?

May 12, 2016 9:06 p.m.

lidlett says... #22

+1 from me. I still love the idea of ramping into bigger threats and using Aurora to throw my opponent or just win. I'd love to hear some records on your deck.

This WILL kill anything but aggro decks. Problem is, most every deck I see now is aggro. I made a double strike flying aggro deck and I'm trying to find something which beats it. Nothing yet.

Embodiment of Insight FOR THE LOVE OF GOD... BUST THEIR NUTS!!! +1
