The deck was initially made with 59 boosters that I'd collected for several years. Fist one was from the first conspiracy and the last one was the streets of new cappenna. One card was taken from every booster. My thought process was to pick large creatures and non-creature spells that had some impact and color fixing, ramp. 40 snow covered basics was my land base. The deck automatically skewed towards green cards and ramp, so I ended up with loads of forests. The first changes will be to the ramp and mana-base, adding new threats when the deck can actually function at some level.
So the deck changes for each loss I may change 1 card. First game night with the deck netted me 3 losses 0 wins, so here are the first 3 changes.
- Zareth San, the Trickster -> Cultivate
- Sandsteppe Mastodon -> Kodama's Reach
- Silvergill Adept -> Arcane Signet
Played 2 more games with the deck, 1 loss and 1 win!
- Feasting Troll King -> Harrow
Played 2 more games with a break in-between (2 losses). Changes are:
- Patient Rebuilding -> Jace, the Mind Sculptor
- Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer -> Klauth, Unrivaled Ancient
