Maybe less than $100, but in general as cheap as possible.

It costs a lot but have you thought about Worldspine Wurm?

July 21, 2016 12:30 p.m.

Worldspine Wurm is not really a card that would do much in this deck. It cost 11 mana. Sure I can hard cast it for 11 mana but there are better utility cards I can play for less. Plus I win on my 8th yisan tutor so placing it in for the tutor is senseless

The deck looks good. I tried suggesting a few cards, but it looks like you already considered them. That said, I do need some advice though: How did you have that few creatures? You saw my deck have 42+ creatures, and it has been bothering me for some time. Any way to reduce the count, or is it in the nature of the deck (which in that case I'm already coming to terms with it)?

Honestly I think more creatures is definitely not the wrong approach. My deck seems to be on the light end for creatures but I also run a lot more enchantments. I think enchantments are fun and my play group doesn't typically play enchantment removal which probably influenced this build.

Like I mentioned on your deck my deck has been evolving for over 2 years. This version works for me but more creatures isn't a terrible idea

I've constructed this deck for the most part, and I love it so much. Thank's for the inspiration and green power

What would you recommend replacing the crossroads enchantment with?

Here's an alternate wincon idea:Ancient Ooze+Pathbreaker Ibex

No problem BobTheStrong I like haste enablers. Green doesn't have too many though. I would probably go with Surrak, the Hunt Caller because you just give your biggest thing haste the turn it comes into play

fadelightningmm: I used to have a Surrak, the Hunt Caller deck. Plays a lot like Xenagod, minus a color.

Also, as Cospiracy 2 is coming out, have you thought about some of the new stuff from there, especially Selvala, Heart of the Wilds? Seems really good.

August 23, 2016 3:10 p.m.

Phaetion I'm definitely hyped for Selvala, Heart of the Wilds I would love to find a spot for her but idk if she will make the overall cut. I have a lot of 3 drops as it is.

Looks damn good +1

Ooooh super sweet build, +1

Is this deck really being played without a Sol Ring?

October 11, 2016 6:41 p.m.

MetalDivinity yes I for one find sol ring to be incredibly boring. You can make a good deck without including such a boring card. T1 sol ring is great don't get me wrong, but every deck runs it I would rather differentiate my deck in that respect

Just a formatting thing, put the (000) inside the brackets in your description.

I feel like Defense of the Heart should be in here.

February 12, 2017 7:38 p.m.

friskysausage I did run it at one point in time, but the deck has had some revisions since then. The current build would probably benefit from it quite a bit. Thanks for reintroducing the card to me

Lurking Predators should be in this deck too! Great for getting creatures out on opponents' turns.

February 23, 2017 1:23 p.m.

Bassmaster I had it in the deck for a long time but I either didn't cast it or underperformed. I do love the card though

Love your deck, and atomicashes makes great proxies, but why no Asceticism?

September 19, 2019 7:35 p.m.

Fenryr I had Asceticism in the deck for a long time but I found that if I drew it I rarely played it. The hexproof was good but the regeneration clause never came up.
