Ratchet BombMTG Card: Ratchet Bomb offers amazing synergy with Glissa, the TraitorMTG Card: Glissa, the Traitor. Perilous MyrMTG Card: Perilous Myr also offers great synergy due to its highly repeatable burn. Consider replacing the Black Sun's ZenithMTG Card: Black Sun's Zenith for the Ratchet BombMTG Card: Ratchet Bombs. I know this kills your Melira, Sylvok OutcastMTG Card: Melira, Sylvok Outcast combo but she's honestly not that good and can be replaced anyways.

MirrorworksMTG Card: Mirrorworks and Darksteel PlateMTG Card: Darksteel Plate both seem like they'd be better as 2 ofs in the deck. This would free up the room you were looking for to use Steel HellkiteMTG Card: Steel Hellkite. Also consider Wurmcoil EngineMTG Card: Wurmcoil Engine as it is incredibly destructive and persistent.

hey, thanks! I actually I had considered that maybe I'd made melira's role a bit too important. I ended up stacking the deck with cards just meant to protect her and the black sun's combo. Idk, I might keep her anyway. I think she's just one of those cards where you have one and you just want to use it, ya know? I guess at the very least, she's another elf I can get a +1/+1 on and maybe some mana if I can keep my archdruids healthy. oh, and I know all about Ratchet BombMTG Card: Ratchet Bombs, although I've never used them myself. my main standard deck is WB tokens. I don't know if I've even seen a game 2 or 3 where my opponent didn't main board a few of those. I like the 2 of tip about the MirrorworksMTG Card: Mirrorworks and Darksteel PlateMTG Card: Darksteel Plate. also that Perilous MyrMTG Card: Perilous Myr trick is a pretty good one. I'd been mostly searching this sites database for cards with certain specific effects such as "infect" and "enters the battlefield,.." type stuff. I hadn't even considered perilous myr. I'll probably pick up a few at include them in some of the playtesting before I decide what I want to keep. thanks a lot for your input!! I'll definitely consider everything you mentioned.

wow, for some weird reason, I thought melira was an elf. I guess my whole argument is pretty much shot. ha!

I guess it was meant to be. two minutes ago a buddy texted and asked if I wanted to trade my two black sun's for two ratchet bombs! spooooky!

got rid of a swamp and added a Phyrexian MetamorphMTG Card: Phyrexian Metamorph. ultimate wild card. no idea how the deck is going to draw with regard to land. looking like I might end up starting kind of slow but with any luck, flooding the field by turn six or so and hopefully having a late game scale board presence and keeping it. keep almost getting rid of Primeval TitanMTG Card: Primeval Titan but convinced he's too valuable as a means of thinning the deck.
