This is a variation of a deck originally printed in InQuest magazine.The focus was to use Awakening to allow abusive use of Tradewind Rider and the buyback of Capsize. The fun I had with the deck came in evaluating my opponents threats and play-style. Once immediate threats are neutralized you can start bouncing multiple lands to your opponents hand preventing him from developing his mana base. The key update is the replacement of Awakening with Seedborn Muse. This denies the opponent additional untaps and the muse also fulfills the requirements for Tradewind Rider, Gaea's Cradle, and can be the upkeep for Stampeding Wildebeests in an emergency. As always, any suggestions and comments are welcomed. (As well as which HUBs I should include)

Uncle Johnny needs some opinions boys and girls... — May 5, 2015

Firsrtly: Swapped 4 Prophet of Kruphixes in for the Seedborn Muses (both of them look like they are wearing gowns made of boogers but Prophet of Kruphix much less so)

But now the ponderings...

Part 1: I'm thinking of swapping Cyclonic Rifts for the Bramblecrushes. I think it fits the focus of the deck better, has high versatility, and will help towards balancing out the mana needs of the deck (I think 2 color decks benefit from being as close to a 50/50 mana split as possible).

On the other hand, actual removal (ya'know like "kill it dead removal") is nice. Before the printing of Cyclonic Rift I originally ran Creeping Mold. Then, after lots of playtesting it with Desert Twister, and Bramblecrush, I settled on the current iteration.

I still need some people to weigh in on this issue.

Part B: I'm trying to work out better synergies for the mana-weenies.

Dryad Arbor is IN. Reminds me too much of the movie Mannequin not to include. (The other focus of this deck is to reference a movie in which Andrew McCarthy rides a motorcycle like a boss). But then come the pairings...

I could remove the Birds of Paradises to replace with Sylvan Caryatids or Axebane Guardian

The Sylvan Caryatids boost both Overgrown Battlement and Axebane Guardians which both boost each other as well as getting boosted by Wall of Blossoms. This is the slower option that pumps out more mana to boost Capsize, Cyclonic Rift, or maybe Desert Twister. I think this might be the slower/more controlly-type option... Uncle Johnny's Power Bounce test deck #1 (Control)

The other way to go is to cut the Overgrown Battlements for Noble Hierarchs. This is much more expensive price-wise but much faster mana-wise. The Exalted ability allows a lowly Birds of Paradise to start attacking on turn 2 and then attacking as a 4/5 flyer as early as turn 3. I think this might be the more agrro/attacky-type option, which I'm leaning towards... Uncle Johnny's Power Bounce test deck #2(AggroISH)

(The other focus of this deck is to reference a movie in which Andrew McCarthy tries to conceal the dead body of his boss, like a boss).
