Maybe Charging Badger ? Works well with Strength from the Fallen .

Nice deck. You deserve a +1, my friend.

Also Deathrite Shaman could be good...

As much as I love Charging Badger (blessed be his name) this isn't the home for him. I would ask GoldGhost012 you're looking for a badger deck. Sadly a 1/1 for one with no relevant abilities doesn't really cut it.

Deathrite Shaman was originally in here, but was taken out for Elvish Mystic . Ramping into a turn 2 three drop is much more important then the slight life gain/drain, and the shaman can't actually ramp until turn 3 and then we don't have anything to ramp into.

Thanks for the feed back tho! Your comments on CurdBrosBrewingCo have always been awesome so I appreciate you taking the time to post here!

Cheers!

This deck is awesome! Being a ramp player and one that LOVES the new card advantage green can create...If I played standard this would be the type of deck I would play for sure! Great deck. +1 for sure.

So this guys just needs to say this: I am all about effective mana bases and sideboards in Constructed, and this deck's are phenomenal. I can see you've put quite a bit of thought into it. Minus Mutavault (which doesn't producee any color, anyways), there isn't a land in your deck that doesn't make green. That's effective for being sure that if you're off your colors, it isn't for very long.

I love that this deck plays very blue for being so green. I'm also a firm believer that as we see the end of our Return to Ravnica, every guild has it's chance to shine competitively in their own unique ways!

+1 Because the use of Lotleth Troll here screams for everything he's ever wanted to be!

RedSoxFanKy, I absolutely love your deck. I run a B/G dredge/constellation deck that uses many of the same cards as your mainboard. I used to run Elvish Mystic but recently I've taken it out and I've been running Brain Maggot in its slot.

I'm curious to hear your thoughts on the two cards. I simply can't find room in my deck for one without removing the other. I'm wondering whether you think the one drop mana-ramp Elvish Mystic which has little to no function late game provides more advantage than the two drop Brain Maggot that temporarily exiles a card from the opponents hand and still provides function late game by triggering constellation.

Here's a link to my deck:

Hey Sandy_Rivers! I actually found your deck shortly after posting this one. It seems like a very solid list, and maybe stronger than this one. I like where you're going and I think Nighthowler is definitely a card for me to consider! Congrats on the up votes!

One of the first things I saw when I looked at your list was the Brain Maggot . It seemed like you had just replaced the ramp with stronger things. This feels like it may make some matchups better, and other worse. I personally have found Elvish Mystic to be a HUGE help in making my plays on and ahead of curve. I'm playing 12 three drops and if I can play any of them turn two I feel very far ahead. Another thing to note is that this deck only plays 22 lands so the ability to get up to 4/5 mana in order to do things like bestow Boon Satyr is only feasible through ramp.

On the other side of the coin we have Brain Maggot this solid new two drop is a great tempo play, but this isn't really a tempo deck. We're not trying to one for one our opponent and slowly beat them down. We want to finish them off quickly and in one hit. Brain Maggot also fills an awkward spot on the curve. It's a 2 drop meaning it has to share the curve with 9 other spells. Having 13 2 drops doesn't seem like a great curve. Especially when you don't have ramp.

I hope that clarity's my thinking! It is possible I am totally wrong however (it has happened before) so take everything I say with a grain of salt.

One question I have for you is how have you found Nyx Weaver ? I've actually found her quite lackluster in testing. You tap out to play her on 3, and then what? She mills once, can't attack because she has a weak body, and then just gets out classes by opposing threats. I was thinking maybe cut her and one of the Courser of Kruphix for 3 Nighthowler . Tell me what you think!

Anywho thanks for the comments and the feedback! If you really like it, send a plus one this way! Thanks!

Cheers

Thank you RedSoxFanKy for the well thought out reply. I think I will try having a playset of Elvish Mystic in my deck in place of Brain Maggot to see how it goes. As far as Nyx Weaver is concerned I think it is much better on paper than it is in play. It sounds super good when you look at it. It's a 2/3 spider with reach that mills my deck for 2 every turn and has a 3-mana cost ability to drag something back from the grave. However, in play it is a bit of a dead drop on turn 3. I would rather play other things than Nyx Weaver in almost any situation. If that makes any sense...

Anyways, Nighthowler is an amazing card, but Courser of Kruphix is amazing too. I think you should remove the two Nyx Weaver and the single copy of Sylvan Caryatid because you have enough ramp from the Elvish Mystic . That way you can throw in 3x Nighthowler .

Also, here's your +1

Thank you kind sir! After testing last night for a couple of hours straight I think Nighthowler is almost a strict upgrade! I also think the carat to did the best cut. Thanks.

Cheers!
