In my opinion the strongest colors right now. Not willing to spend the money on a playset of Voice of Resurgence.
Mainboard Elvish Mystic - pretty self-explanatory, mana-ramp is key in out-racing an opponent. Sylvan Caryatid - same deal with the added bonus of being hexproof and the 3 toughness is pretty solid. Reeeally good against RDW. Scavenging Ooze - green is in the deck, Ooze is in the deck. Obvious choice. Loxodon Smiter - did somebody say value? 4/4 for 3 uncounterable? Yes please! Reaper of the Wilds - new kid on the block. This card is soooo hard to kill and he's just value. Doesn't die to Mizzium Mortars or Selesnya Charm and being untapped with him is insane. Desecration Demon - been in standard for quite a while and has never really seen much play. An undercosted 6/6 flyer is well worth the mana. Them being able to sac creatures to tap him is a little unfortunate, but it only makes him a bigger threat. Super useful. Blood Baron of Vizkopa - absolutely crushes BW decks, lifelink, can be a 10/10 flyer, can be a win-con. Most kill spells are in black or white so he's especially hard to deal with.
Elspeth, Sun's Champion - she's back! And she's kicking serious ass. 3 1/1 soldiers a turn is crazy, being able to kill all 4 power + creatures is crazy, +2/+2 flying emblem is crazy. My main win condition. Read the Bones - best 3 words in magic: "Draw a card." Scry 2, draw 2, lose 2. Yes please. Abrupt Decay - VERY important removal. Kills Loxodon Smiter, Spellheart Chimera, Scavenging Ooze, and other stupid cards. The uncounterable aspect is super useful as well.
Advent of the Wurm
- flashing in a 5/5 trampler at the end of the opponent's turn is SO dope. Doom Blade - cheap removal, sided out for [Dark Betrayal] when necessary. Hero's Downfall - MurderBore! Kills planeswalkers at instant speed! Temple Garden, Godless Shrine, Overgrown Tomb - lots of damage, but ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. Temple of Silence - turn 1 love! Scrying Orzhov Guildgate woooh! Mutavault - blockers are always nice after a board sweep and useful when you can't do anything with your mana.
Sideboard
Dark Betrayal
- comes in for black decks, Shadowborn, etc.
Glare of Heresy
- it's too good.
Lifebane Zombie
- the ideal way to deal with Obzedat, Ghost Council, Blood Baron of Vizkopa, and
Fleecemane Lion
.Putrefy - moar kill spells please. Thoughtseize - very important against control decks. Underworld Connections - draw power is draw power. Brought in against control. Important in out-racing them. Vraska the Unseen - pretty "unseen" in standard, but a very good walker. Moar kill. Assassin tokens what what.
Please help! All suggestions are much appreciated.
