Jaddi Offshoot?

I love Assault Formation decks :) it's how my wall deck works

What about Profaner of the Dead instead of Torrent Elemental?

I think that you could run it, but you need a creature to do well with it, or else it is only 3 toughness, if you exploit itself. Still could do well against aggro though, and is a neat trick if they leave up blockers.

Grim Contest could provide a form of removal that is very compatible with this deck.

I have thought about Grim Contest, but I sadly couldn't find a place for it.

Has anyone tried Foul Renewal for removal? Toughness-based, but conditional on your having something in the graveyard in the first place. Also, the art totally kicks.

I tried it, but the graveyard part was too conditional. I found that for 4 mana, I want to always be able to kill something,so I replaced it with Sultai Charm, which only kills mono colored creatures, but also lets me dig and remove enchantments.

I only run 2 copies of Foul Renewal and most of the time I only use it after I sac a dude to Profaner of the Dead.

Haven't seen a version using black, looks good though. Clever. +1

Meandering Towershell would work great with Kin-Tree Invocation, especially if you've just cast a Shape the Sands on it.

Meandering Towershell itself is too slow, and didn't work in the deck. I also try to cast Kin Tree Invocation asap, unless I have a shape the sands waiting or a savants.

I think i would put Languish in instead of Sultai Charm but that's just my opinion.

cough Disowned Ancestor cough*

Oh sorry didn't see it XD

Now I'm trying Profaner of the Dead for removal, right after using Shape the Sands on whatever. Presto- no blockers! It's quicker than Torrent Elemental.

I love this deck! it is very similar to mine except mine is white, green, and blue, and it works well especially with aligned hedron network in the sideboard. I use a few more enchantments in mine so I can make use of Sigil Of The Empty Throne.

I know its would breack the roul of "every single creature benefits from Assault Formation" but i guess an abzan beastmaser could be funny in this deck.

cool deck, I really like it... Im still gonna make it into a modern deck first though.

staying within stander though, I don't see that much value in the Torrent Elemental, Id add either more walls or a second Silumgar, the Drifting Death or more Anticipates. I also like Archers' Parapet's ability to deal damage to your opponent. and wile its not the best Tide Drifter might through your opponent off guard.

I like it! You make me want to splash black in mine. I run Overgrown Battlement, Axebane Guardian and Ludevic's Test Subject in mine. Torrent Elemental is a must in my opinion.

Yeah, I think Kin-Tree Invocation is a very important card in this deck, and going for that hardcore defender theme you have going on, try Sylvan Caryatid. Also would help with mana fixing if you splash black.

The caryatid is no longer standard legal.

A silent skimmer could work realy good

demonicgrizzly, his isn't a standard deck. I probably should've commented on his deck though, lol.

Add Time Magic (AKA Extra turns)There is a cheap Extra turn card from standard, Part the Waterveil.
