The Lands matter update —Sept. 17, 2016

Going back over this deck i realized i could get more value out of the Mana base of the deck by using more non basics and adding in the knight and life from the loam to round out the availability of those lands for more value and consistency. i would still appreciate any comments and tips regarding other non basic lands that i could possibly missed. thanks everyone for the help.

Very different from my trostani deck, but still awesome. Check mine out Gift of Life Gain

Thanks for the feed back. I look at other peoples trostani decks and see 1/1 to 5/5 tokens and I say why stop there. The deck is a bit slower then other trostani decks that I have played. But it has a way stronger late game. You may have an army of 5/5s but I have an army of Serra Avatar tokens. :) can't get any bigger than that.Again thanks for your input.

Hello,

I read your description, and you said you're looking for some draw mechanics for the deck. GW doesn't have much in terms of draw power, what we do have are "deck thinners", here are some suggestions:

Mentor of the Meek is decent. Wall of Blossoms is a card, although its mediocre in a GW deck. Decree of Justice draws you a card, and gives you an army at the same time. Yavimaya Elder filters 2 basic lands, and draws you a card. Cultivate and Kodama's Reach are two of my most favorite cards, in green. Garruk, Primal Hunter is great if you have a big dude out. Courser of Kruphix can act as a second Oracle of Mul Daya . Harmonize is great in green. Sylvan Library is probably the best green draw/library interaction.

If you're looking for some more ideas, feel free to check out my deck: In Trostani We Trust

I like this different take on a Trostani deck, although tons-o-tokens is still my preferred way to go. +1!

Thanks for the ideas, i decided to put in more ramp cards like Yavimaya Elder , Fertilid , and Sakura-Tribe Elder . i also put in a Mind's Eye instead of a Well of Lost Dreams because most of the life gain in this deck is from Trostani's passive ability and i don't want to be dependent on gaining life to draw cards, in case something were to happen to Trostani i still want to be able to draw cards. ideally the deck should work exactly the same with or without Trostani in play. The only difference is that i am gaining life while doing it. i will agree with you that Cultivate and Kodama's Reach are both good mana ramping spells, but this deck is more built around creatures, so creatures that can also search for land is better because i can bring the creature back into play easier than a spell of the same effect.

Have you considered Asceticism and Privileged Position ?

I use to use both of them, but I dropped Privileged Position for Archetype of Endurance because it not only covers itself but is also a creature that I can tutor for. I am Trying to make the deck as creature based as possible.
