1x
1x Ruric Thar, the Unbowed
1x Gingerbread Cabin
1x Mosswort Bridge
Cuts:
Deus of Calamity
- Other players will hate you for land destruction, nothing special beyond that (but could be useful with
Blade of Selves
).
Nature's Claim
,
Force of Vigor
,
Bane of Progress
- Already lots of artifact/enchantment removal in the list.
God-Eternal Rhonas
,
Xenagos, the Reveler
,
Thunderfoot Baloth
- Requires a decent board presence to get the most use out of them.
Inferno Titan
,
Garruk Wildspeaker
,
Domri, Chaos Bringer
,
Moldgraf Monstrosity
,
Giant Adephage
,
Frontier Siege
- Nice, but not amazing.
Hellkite Charger
- The deck has cheaper ways of getting extra combats.
Worldly Tutor
,
Questing Beast
,
Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger
,
Selvala, Heart of the Wilds
,
Sneak Attack
,
Natural Order
,
Blightsteel Colossus
,
Sylvan Library
,
Oracle of Mul Daya
- Great , but expensive IRL.
See the Unwritten
- weaker
Tooth and Nail
.
Savage Beating
- No way to tutor for it. Cheating a creature out like
Scourge of the Throne
is better.
Artisan of Kozilek
- Needs to be hard cast to be useful.
Ghalta, Primal Hunger
,
It That Betrays
,
Carnage Tyrant
- Big boys, but lots of big boys already.
Spellbreaker Behemoth
,
Prowling Serpopard
,
Asceticism
- Better to be aggressive than defensive
Helm of the Host
- Too slow, requires 5 mana in addition to casting a creature, or having a creature live a full round.
Gyre Sage
,
Grand Warlord Radha
- Too slow, would rather cast land grab spells.
Soul's Majesty
- Requires a creature on the battlefield and has a high cost.
Molten Disaster
- More of a last gasp or combo canceller than a winning card.
Runic Armasaur
,
Elemental Bond
- Too specific of conditions
Beast Whisperer
- Requires hard casting the creatures
Omnath, Locus of Rage
- Nice, especially with
Traverse the Outlands
, but not enough elementals to take full advantage.
Nissa, Who Shakes the World
- Powerful, but slow and vulnerable.
Pattern of Rebirth
- Nice, but too many steps between casting and receiving the free creature. Vulnerable to removal as well as counter.
Quicksilver Amulet
- Still paying at least 4 for a creature that can only be from your hand.
Combat Celebrant
- Needs haste, has to exert.
Elvish Piper
- Creature must be in hand, very vulnerable without haste.
Champion of Rhonas
- Creature must be in hand, can't attack this turn without haste since you miss the trigger for
Xenagos, God of Revels
Chord of Calling
- Plenty of other creature cheats, this one is not quite as good as some of the others.
