Actually just saw a deck that used trostani and it looked very good. Id have to see if I can fit it. Good suggestion that I will try to implement, thanks.

Also, use Arrest over Pacifism in the sideboard.
Bad idea. Detaining activated abilities is not worth the extra mana.

Elvish Mystic instead because it is a one drop and does the same effect. Since you do not have any other Slivers the

*Facepalm *
Please don't tell me you added Manaweft Sliver, Soulmender, Voracious Wurm, and Divine Favor to your deck since I last posted. Doing so would be admitting that you are willingly making your deck even worse and I don't want to believe anyone is that stupid.
July 28, 2013 1:22 a.m.
Though having the one drop elf is nice it puts me in a bind if I am in need of white mana. The sliver is a mana fixer that is nice to have whether im in need of green or white.

That's not worth running a mana dork that costs 2. Mana dorks should always cost 1. You're actively making your deck worse as time passes. Stop it.

I don't quite understand all the color fixing you put into your deck. Two color decks tend to be consistent even if it was just forests and plains the odds would be in your favor. If duals get reprinted then Sunpetal Grove will make your deck not need the Lay of the Land or as many Manaweft Sliver s. I could be wrong but that's just what I think

It's not going to be reprinted, but Wizards has told us that there will be a set of dual lands in Theros.

You may consider Trading Post in place of Bubbling Cauldron . CMC os 2 more, but you don't have to sacrifice a creature for lifegain.
July 29, 2013 10:31 a.m.
I would not remove Bubbling Cauldron , the synergy with Angelic Accord is almost too good to pass up, all you need is 1 4/4 angel, then on your turn you sacrifice the token to the cauldron, gain 4 life, Angelic Accord triggers, replace the token, have it as a blocker if needed, wash, rinse, repeat. my only issue is Putrefy splashing black for 2 removal cards seems a waste...though I understand you have no other option for removal, and I'm curious as to the synergy of Gladecover Scout ? the only thing I can see is a body to safely put Unflinching Courage onto, then have her buff up later once Archangel of Thune hits the field, but I'm assuming more often then not this does not happen this way

Hey man i want to run this deck at the next FNM coming up. My problem is you keep switching the deck list every couple of days so i dont have enough time to get all the new cards you put in :D Anyways i have all the cards for this deck list and previous deck lists except a 3rd Archangel of Thune and the 4 Loxodon Smiter So what deck list would you recommend running at FNM? Mind helping me out? xD Sorry if you might have to type a long reply.
August 1, 2013 9:19 a.m.
Lol, yeah sorry about the frequent switches over the last week or so. The deck was in an intense testing stage. As it started to go post rotation, I noticed alot of inconsistencies that I didnt like. Not enough land, too much land that sort of stuff. While I liked every switch for different reasons, the stages before didnt have a flow. I was wining a lot but for many different reasons and sometimes unpredictable ones. This current list makes every game the same strategy bringing up its consistency. This is what I will be running for a long time until I see something else I believe will help the deck further. Please keep me updated on how you do if you run the deck. I am very flattered that you feel confident enough to run it yourself, thanks. I cant make it to fnm this week due to work but am interested to see how it will do. Let me know!

I like where the deck is now, takes an aggressive nature with a few combat tricks, I feel like you want to take advantage of the 4 Elvish Mystic maybe Angel of Serenity doesn't fit the plan as much anymore? There are some nice 5 and 6 drop green creatures that would love the four mystic, but if the Angel is your pick, you could probably drop one of the Mystics, I don't see anything hard to cast in green that you would need them on, and they are terrible to draw later if you mulligan and keep the way you should, another note, I would try adding better synergy with the Angelic Accord plan, Rootborn Defenses in place of all 3 Brave the Elements they protect all your creatures, not just the white ones, and if there is an angel token out, Rootborn makes another. I would still keep a Brave the Elements or two, sometimes you just need something to punch that last bit of damage through a wall of creatures and insurance against a top deck sweeper.

Well played this deck, sadly without my Archangel of Thune but i should get them in the mail soon xD anyways. There was a good amount of people at my fnm so i played against a variety of decks, there was 5 rounds, i won 3 in a row, i felt so good, the deck was comfortable to my play style, a little aggressive (i ran aggro before this) and loved the life gain combos. Then i went against a control (forget which type) and they won, but this deck is post rotation, i wasnt running Sunpetal Grove it was strictly this deck tech. So of course the 300$+ pre rotation should do well xD But i won the next and went top 8 and sadly lost :) but it was a good night. So 4/1 overall im very pleased with the deck, no one suspected the deck tech, i fear it may gain popularity xD Also for control's plains walkers Pithing Needle works well, although i would have won against the control, i played Angel of Serenity which would have won the game for me but he played his 3rd counter (in a row) and she went to the graveyard. A friend recommended Savage Summoning to sideboard it against controls. Let me know what you think. Other than that thanks for this awesome deck :)

Oh man, you dont know how happy I am to hear that the deck played so well for you! I feel really good about the fact that I could construct something that even someone ive never met could feel comfortable playing and pull some wins. The card suggestion is solid so I will be working on moving it into sideboard soon. Hopefully you gave me some shoutouts while winning! Lol. Thanks for the comments and support.

Yeah no problem man, and yeah i told those who asked to visit your deck tech on tapped out. Also im not really feeling Angel of Serenity In the current deck tech. I was thinking about running 22 lands, -2 serenity, -1 thune. (only because i have 2 and cant afford a 3rd atm) and running 3 Centaur Healer Only worried about that now i will have no board wiping cards. But serenity is a late game card that requires 7 mana, and only at 2 i either dont have enough mana, it doesnt get into that late of a game, or i dont draw her. Although i was able to play her once and she won that game for me. So idk, centaur is just so good imo, 3 drop for 3/3 and heals 3. Let me know what you think. Or if you have a thune you wanna give away send it my way haha would put it to great use. Other than that thanks again for that awesome deck tech!

Hey I like the build a lot very nice synergy look to it as well. I am thinking about rotation and was thinking of going in a direction like this. What do you think about Trostani, Selesnya's Voice and Scavenging Ooze and Soulmender ?
August 4, 2013 12:24 a.m.
Thamk you for the compliment. All three of those choices are good. If you're not having to run ramp then Soulmender is a great one drop. I dont have them because the elves help me get my threats out faster. Scavenging Ooze is really good if you can get a lot of creatures in the graveyard, maybe in a self mill deck, but I'd rather have the wurm that can build off of my lifegain. As for trostani, he was good with Doomed Traveler , Call of the Conclave , and Advent of the Wurm . I could see how one could make a case for it in this type of deck but I gave that slot to the smiter. Still all good choices, just depends on your playstyle.
August 4, 2013 7:51 a.m.
I used my M14 Life Deck to have a go, and luck allows me to win your deck 3-2 in 5 matches.
You have various synergies in your deck and I enjoy playing it as well. One thing I felt was that Angel of Serenity came out thrice in my playtest and it only managed to be out once. Not so sure if it is chance or anything, but in 2 cases I had trouble casting it before creatures overran.
I was playing with your mainboard, and I noticed you have Pacifism in your sideboard. Pacifism is cheap but in some cases you may want to consider Arrest ...

@paralukeI feel the same, Angel of Serenity is good if you can get her out, and she has saved me, but i feel the 7 drop is just too costly but like i said, it has saved me from a loss.
August 5, 2013 7:18 a.m.
This deck is getting better and better, I really like it!
I playtested it and was surprised how well it is doing against a variety of decks.One thing I can not forget: I was losing against was a Blood Baron of Vizkopa , as the opponent kept killing my Deadly Recluse to block it. Any idea against the Baron with this deck?
August 5, 2013 8:09 a.m.
Loving this deck. But would putting in 2x Rogue's Passage make this deck better? You would just have to swap 2 lands
