-1 mountain +1 forest seems fine - if you prefer that ratio then I see not problem with that. I still prefer somberwald however because in cedh you really need to do something powerful no later than turn 3. Somberwald lets you go t1 elf, t2 somberwald, t3 ruric which can be the powerful start you need to impact the game.

May I ask why there aren't more effects like Harsh Mentor and Cindervines ?

I tried them a bit but just didnt find them impactful enough for stopping powerful strategies. I dont think they’re terrible... you could try em out and see how they fit in your meta. The red guys that do 2 damage whenever a player casts a low cmc spell are probably the best

Eidolon of the Great Revel ? I like mentor for stopping teferi from winning and cindervines fucks up storm. It seems like your meta might include more creature decks.

Hey all what are your thoughts on a few cards here.
Citadel of Pain
Choke
Grafted exoskeleton

So how about that new Domri that'll be in War for the Spark? :v

Citadel is kinda interesting but it would probably just end of being a Defense Grid which is risky because it clears the way for combo players.
Choke is a great card and a fine pick if the meta supports it (most do).
Not a fan of exoskeleton with null rod, Bane, etc. Too much has to go right to get it online.

New Domri isn’t the worst choice. I like that it makes mana to help recover after a wipe. First ability is pretty useless.

Domri's kind of okay. 1st ability makes Ruric a 3-turn clock, 2nd ability makes creatures uncounterable for a combo turn (maybe cast a Dosan to secure the turn) or some other fancy tech,and 3rd ability can act as removal.
Not that great, but could be worth a shot in some metas.

tw0handt0uch how about winter orb, thorn of amethyst, helm of the host?

Those cards are all pretty decent but they have anti synergy with all the artifact hate i prefer to run. I set my version up to hate pretty heavily and it helps to set your deck up such that you break parity on wipes based on the card choices.

Playes my version. No bloom tender or Garruk. Added in Rythym of the wild and grafter exoskeleton. Placed 2nd in a 13 player tournament.

Nice Daransil ! Was rythm of the wild ever relevant?
April 29, 2019 11:09 a.m.

tw0handt0uch no never saw it in amy hand or game. Defence of the heart, possibility storm, and ruric thar were the all stars.

Would Vandalblast be a good 1cmc replacement for Crop Rotation if you don't have Gaea's Cradle ?

Much of your ramp/fixing requires green, would it be ridiculous to take out a Mountain for a Forest? And what about taking out Somberwald Sage for a Quirion Elves? It's cheaper, can contribute to noncreature spells, and is an elf!
