I'll consider those. Cheaper mana CMC but a little weaker due to being a creature.

Thanks!

Oh, Aegis of the Gods is good. Definitely considerable for a sideboard slot.

If your looking for different artwork for Coat of Arms seventh edition is the only one, and i think the artwork fits your theme

I agree, I like the Coat of Arms Seventh Edition artwork better but it has a different border.

Little things like that bother me, sorry :P

For one reason or another, I am totally in love with this.

If you put enchant ramp in, you could consider Arbor Elf as he can tap for two mana, and can untap Temple Garden.

Thanks FAMOUSWATERMELON

TreeCat, that's a very good point, but I'm a little against putting anything but Humans (and Angels) in since this deck relies a lot of buffing humans with Mayor of Avabruck  Flip and Coat of Arms.

See, if I take out Scorned Villager  Flip in place for enchantment ramp I lose three humans I could have used for buffs and Champion of the Parish. Assuming I include Arbor Elf I'll be spreading my humans even more thin as I'll have to take out more in place of the elf.

i strongly urge you to sideboard at least 2xRevoke Existence

April 14, 2015 2:21 a.m.

How about Sundering Growth?

April 14, 2015 6:54 a.m.

Utopia Sprawl doesn't give you any more mana than Scorned Villager  Flip, just any color mana. Not worth it in my opinion.

April 14, 2015 9:01 a.m.

I would also try and find a way to fit another Champion of the Parish in here. He is the "champion" of this deck after all.

April 14, 2015 9:04 a.m.

Doesn't Utopia Sprawl add two? One Green mana and one of any other color?

I think you're right about the Champion of the Parish. I don't draw him nearly as often as I should.

I could perhaps cut an Avacyn's Pilgrim... honestly I'm a little short on space as it is.

April 14, 2015 9:16 a.m.

Yes, but it's not different than tapping your Scorned Villager  Flip and a forest. Both produce you two mana. Sprawl just give you any color.

April 14, 2015 9:20 a.m.

If you tap a forest with Utopia Sprawl, it adds you TWO MANA, one green and one whatever you want.

April 14, 2015 9:24 a.m.

Yeah... but it's not actually giving two new mana sources, only one... like Scorned Villager  Flip.I see that now. Well then.

Any other ramp you'd recommend? Scorned Villager  Flip seems a little too random, is there any other ramp creatures that tap for two, or is Scorned Villager  Flip and outlier?

The thing about Scorned Villager  Flip is, that she flips way more against control-type decks, wich is always good on the tempo side, but not reliable enough.Don't know if you ever met Steward of Valeron, but he seems to be an excellent replacement for her.While I was still playing the ramp version of my G/W humans and Sigarda decks, he always came out pretty good. Doubly so with Knotvine Paladin, but that's another story.

April 14, 2015 9:29 a.m.

I've seen Steward of Valeron before... but he doesn't add any more mana than Scorned Villager  Flip does... right?

April 14, 2015 9:31 a.m.

I've also been considering Gift of Estates but I'm not sure it's fast enough for what I want.

April 14, 2015 9:35 a.m.

I personally think you've got enough ramp in here. If I were you I might substitute Gideon and one Entreat the Angels for a champion and possibly another land. (That or another doubling season) this would help lower your curve a bit so you wouldn't have to worry about ramp as much. Just my two cents

Also, I like Scorned Villager  Flip in here because she's a human, produces one mana (potentially two), and even as a werewolf can be buffed by howl pack alpha

April 14, 2015 9:49 a.m.

You might even consider dropping avacyn. Though she is this decks namesake

April 14, 2015 9:51 a.m.

I'll probably stick with Scorned Villager  Flip then.

I MIGHT sub out Entreat the Angels... even though I do love it, but I want to keep Gideon Jura. He's good removal and can act as a Sleep when I need to get past blockers.

Avacyn, Angel of Hope is kind of why I need the ramp. I want to ramp up and get her out as a win condition... I used to have Somberwald Sage for that but if I use her I can't flashback Increasing Devotion.
