Snow Ramp & Burn at a Budget

Modern

A_Protected_One


This deck aims to ramp to 7 mana and play its snow fatties, while using burn spells to contain the opponent in the meantime. What I kinda struggle with is finding the best and most fun finishers, and increasing the deck's consistency.

In detail, the deck operates on four types of cards:

My ramp engine. Into the North is a great choice for a snow deck. For redundancy, two Search for Tomorrow are also included with the option to Suspend. Finally, Wall of Roots doubles as a mana generator and a defender.

Burn spells. Skred is an other obvious choice for snow decks, dealing damage anywhere between 1 and 10 for only one mana. Volcanic Geyser converts excess mana to high damage. Lightning Bolt is just simply a very efficient burn spell. Magma Jet is not bad, and also helps consistency with Scry.

Fatties. Rimescale Dragon's key ability saved my hide many times, and its also a flyer - I want all 4 here. (And look at the flavor, a dragon breathing - ice...) Allosaurus Rider utilizes the large amount of land and it is at least a 8/8 when casted. Panglacial Wurm has trample and snow flavor. Siege Wurm seems to be a point of weakness to me, Convoke is useless in this deck, otherwise the card is nothing special. I am also looking for a substitute for Fire Elemental .

Utilities. Harmonize is a tremendous help for draw. Kessig Wolf Run utilizes excess mana and turns it into damage and trample. Mouth of Ronom can be a creature remover - expensive, but it saved the game for me quite a few times.

All in all, it is a very fun deck to play both in 1-on-1 and multiplayer settings. However, the Fatties Department needs more quality staff - any suggestions are welcome (but please stay close to the theme, I want this to stay a budget snow deck as it is, so no planeswalkers, super dual lands, desert creatures etc. :) ). Also, any recommendations on consistency are most welcome.

Thanks, cheers!
