Have you thought about going Mardu? You will have access to Ponyback Brigade, which is amazing if you manifest it down, as well as Mastery of the Unseen. Both cards can easily sway the game to your favor.

Actually, ZestyTurtle, I've been really considering it since I just pulled a Mastery ,and I'd have access to Soul Summons. Might swing that way. Thanks!

Interesting idea for deck. I would personally use Rageform over Fierce Invocation because of lower CMC, and 22 lands seems like very few lands for a deck with three 5-drops, two 7-mana linchpins, and a 9-mana board-sweeper.

Another good call. May up the mana after all.

This is an awesome looking deck!Keep up the good work!

It will be real special when some Of the Megamorph stuff from Dragons hits.

Have you taken this to fnm? How did it perform. I'm thinking of trying this out tonight.

Not yet. Been a bit busy,will likely try it out this week. Let you know the results soon.

Silumgar Assassin and Hidden Dragonslayer could be very useful.

Thanks for the ideas btw. You helped me speed up my *Post-Rotation* Abzan Manifest with your early game black creature package.

Thanks epikurus! Great suggestions. I've been looking at those closely, good luck with yours!
