Behemoth Sledge will be hard to get since i trade not buy and none of my friends have it. Serra Ascendant is pretty good, but as i said, my friends don't have it. if i wanted Rest for the Weary i would have gotten Life Burst . i do need to work on the trample part, but Whispersilk Cloak , Spirit Mantle and Garruk Wildspeaker will get me through for now. do you have any idea for good sorcery/instant trample cards?
December 12, 2011 8:33 p.m.
well my personal favorite is Colossal Might but you arent running red.
for instants the most decent ones arecard:Predator's Strike, Run Wild and Unnatural Predation .As for sorceries there's of course Overrun (watch out for the triple green in the cost though), Overwhelming Stampede could be nice since you have a few creatures that grow with life gain it could be really beneficial. actually it could win you a game haha and if it didnt you would have soooo much life after it was over.
plus its easier to cast than Overrun , its just a little more situational.
id sideboard either the Essence Warden s and/or card:Soul's Attendant for multiplayer games and try to run more card:Ajani's Pridemate and maybe card:Ajani's Mantra because its a more reliable form of lifegain. plus it makes card:Ajani's Pridemate go up at least one counter a turn. ive had card:Ajani's Pridemates get pretty huge that way lol.
another cool thing id consider trying to get your hands on is Recumbent Bliss , its like Pacifism and card:Ajani's Mantra in one.
one more thing i think you should try for funsies is card:Soul's Grace, hopefully your creatures will get big before they get killed, and even if the opponent does try to kill it you can play it in response to a kill spell and gain hella life.
sorry lol i had a deck similar to this at one point.

i'll try. thanks for the suggestions. what's your deck called, i'll check it out
December 18, 2011 10:21 p.m.
well the deck in question isnt up here as of now. i took it apart before i joined tapped out.
But if you could check out The 5/5 Flying Factory, i would really appreciate it. its a bit of a mess and i cant decide on what i want to do with it so your input would be greatly appreciated:3

Creeping Renaissance and card:Praetor's Counsel seem good - maybe just one or two in the deck in order to get your guys back if your board ever gets wiped.
Looks like a really fun fun deck! =) Cool idea!

i've actually tried card:Praetor's Counsel and it didn't work out quite well. Creeping Renaissance , i feel, isn't going to work out because there are a variety of creature types. thanks for the suggestion though!
January 1, 2012 4:17 p.m.
You just name -creature- and it will return ALL creatures regardless of type. :)
That's too bad that card:Praetor's Counsel didn't work out.

you should consider buying a few key cards though. I was anti-buy for a while. Try Celestial Mantle Its a fun card with Pridemate and Entity.
Kamahl, Fist of Krosa is an excellent source for trample. And his abilities stack. +3/+3 trample until end of turn doesn't sound like a bad idea to me.

its a lot like Garruk except its not a plainswalker
January 19, 2012 2:10 a.m.
so are you saying i should take out garruk for kamahl? i just realized Celestial Mantle says double the controller's life total, does that mean i don't gain life so Ajani's Pridemate and Ageless Entity would get the counters? i would appreciate it if you checked out my other deck, deck:champion-of-the-soldiers-help. i have trouble deciding what to take out for Darien, King of Kjeldor.

You still gain life.
(source: legality rulings for card on magiccards.info)
If a player's life total is doubled, that player actually gains or loses the necessary amount of life. For example, if the life total of the enchanted creature's controller is 14 when Celestial Mantle's triggered ability resolves, the ability causes that player to gain 14 life. Other cards that interact with life gain or life loss will interact with this effect accordingly.
this card actually has some interesting legality rulings. id read them for future refrence.

you can keep garruk. Its just nice to always have back up with trample. It would be effective overkill to stack those 3 abilities around turn 10 and swing every with every creature +9/+9 trample. Thats the size of a small eldrazi. Not counting base power and toughness. Plus the ability of a Celestial Mantle.

thanks Mawree I had doubts on whether I should take it out but not anymore.
what should I take out then?
January 20, 2012 5:59 p.m.
well that all depends. what are you thinking about putting in??
January 22, 2012 12:38 a.m.
Do you even need the trample? I mean with Felidar Sovereign I feel like its overkill but then again another win con. If ya get some time check out deck:stalking-secrets and help me out. Thanks.
January 24, 2012 12:01 a.m.
exactly what you just said. What should take out for Kamahl, Fist of Krosa
January 24, 2012 6:32 p.m.
imo Sylvan Ranger. all them are fairly small drops. just a thought.
January 24, 2012 8:32 p.m.
Sylvan Ranger definitely. you have enough lands that you should draw enough of what you need.
Maybe putting some instant speed life gain in there as well like Heroes' Reunion. it would help you hang in there early game because youll be starting out with a lot of small creatures. plus it could help your win con with felidar, pump up your entity signifigantly in one turn. Instant speed life gain is aamazzziiin :D.
January 24, 2012 10:52 p.m.
i'd through in Lifelink and Kabira Crossroads for better life gain. and maybe some Serra Ascendant for fun
January 26, 2012 8:53 p.m.
thanks for the comments!
ive decided to keep Sylvan Ranger and i'll work on getting the others. +1 if you like!

Really don't like the planeswalkers. They seem like 'win more' rather than just making you win. I like to make space for my suggestions as well as the aforementioned planeswalkers. Hope I helped.

id run maybe Behemoth Sledge to give you lifelink and give the bigger creatures trample since Ageless Entity gets really huge and doesnt have trample. Serra Ascendant , Rest for the Weary are other good suggestions.
