Dude I can't believe no one has put this up yet. Friggen Doubling Season is a beast in this deck.

Also how bout some small green accelerators? I see you have Boundless Realms but what about Harrow Explore Journey of Discovery and others? I see you have a Thromok, a Broodmother, and a Mycoloth in the maybeboard there. Put them in.

Also maybe look for a Birthing Pod. Quite awesome.

Otherwise good work.

Yeah, maybeboard is an aquireboard... I'll eventualy get those.

I totaly agree for doubling season, i do own one but i'm using it in another deck. Not so sure for birthing pod, i dont want to sac my creatures.

I'll check for cheap ramp. I was trying to keep non-permanent low for a nice primal surge win. I did it two or three times, it was fun. If i end up giving up on that win condition i'll add those ramp sorcery.

@ResurrectedSage i don't realy like the fact i must sacrifice too, but i'll think about it. Maybe replacing my Seal of Primordium for Tribute to the Wild . An other down side is that i can't realy target...

I'll probably aim for Decimate , wich is better than both of those

Dude, it says each opponent, not you...

@ResurrectedSage ho shit, you got a point! I will consider Tribute to the Wild then, but it still doesn't target :p

Haha, no, but for low enchant/artifact decks it can massively screw someone over really early. Someone has a single Sol Ring or Darksteel Ingot ? Nothing else? Well there goes some mana rocks (and indestructible ones at that).

Needs more low-cost ramp. I did a playtest of this deck and twice I was stuck on 2 or 3 mana for several turns. Farseek, Sakura-Tribe Elders, Cultivate,etc.. would greatly help.

@ YoyoREM thx for the advice, and for taking the time to do some real testing on the deck.

I would like to know how many playtest you did, i just made 10 and all of them went just fine except for two times were i had only 1 land in the starting hand, wich end up in mulligan and then were fine.... So 10/10 playtest were just fine.

I will keep an eye on my starts with the deck and if i get mana screwed i will add some ramp.

The deck doesn't realy need much mana since ulasht is relatively cheap. I may change Explosive Vegetation for Cultivate acording to your advice

I only did 2, and I played it against my deck (I had the deck on paper, not online so sorry, can't link) and your deck didn't have the ramp to catch up. For turns 2/3 you were doing well, but after that it was too slow.

For reference, I run Jarad as my EDH general.

Edit to the above comment, I put my deck in tappedout so you can see what I mean.

Again, we may have different play styles and maybe I just had a bad draw for your deck.

/my 2 cents.

@YoyoREM i see what you mean, just had 5 bad starting hand in a row....but i may just be badluck

But it's a slow deck, you have to take out some creatures, some token machines, then go with ulasht. Not sure how i could speed up the process other than adding alot of low cost GR creatures. I will probably cut some expensive creatures to lower the curve too.

I have an Ulasht deck myself you might find some ideas from, I certainly got some from yours, really nice Ivy Lane Denizen !

Bobgalarneau says... #19

@ Carsten thx man. Yeah Ivy Lane Denizen is an awesome card in that deck. Lots of sinergy, nearly a bomb..... Won me some games with it's interraction with Mycoloth or Ulasht, the Hate Seed .

I'll take a look at your deck too!
