Hey everyone just made some serious upgrades feel free to comment and let me know what you think. Threw in 4Unflinching Courage and changed a few things around looks pretty solid.

Could be a good change. what did you take out to make room? do you really think you need to run a full playset?

I think I took out 4Arbor Elf and I probobally don't need a playset I could maybe drop 2Unflinching Courage for like 2Trostani, Selesnya's Voice or somthing like 2Oblivion Ring might help. I also don't need to drop 2Ajani, Caller of the Pride not sure whats your input on that.

like I have always said to selesnya aggros, you are aggro, so going 24 lands might be a bad thing. 24 lands is the ideal for control, and that is considering that they have lots of draw power, so being land-screwed is not a big deal to them. You, on the other hand, has no draw power whatsover, so in case of land draws, you are horribly screwed for aggro. and an aggro at this CMC can go wtih 22 lands, and lo, you even have Avacyn's Pilgrim!

Also, a selesnya aggro cannot do without Voice of Resurgence , Dryad Militant Call of the Conclave and Experiment One , which I recommend cutting down the number of Unflinching Courage , Selesnya Charm and Advent of the Wurm for; maybe to 2 each? Your call.

You make a very good point so I will more than likely run 22 lands and see how that goes. As far as Voice of Resurgence I don't have the bank for that unfortunately, the card is amazing although I am going to FNM on this week so I'm gonna try to find people to trade with. Experiment One +Dryad Militant are really nice together, so I see what your saying but I think im gonna stick with my 4Selesnya Charm and Advent of the Wurm I like the instant speed and the removal with the charm. Thanks for commenting with helpful knowledge.

I have some problems with this deck and I think you need to decide on what this deck will be. ygamretuta is right that you have too many lands for your average CMC.

Check out these articles for proper number of lands:

Next, I think you don't have enough creatures and you have way to many auras. You've been jumping between 12-16 creatures with 4 token generators (8 if you count Selesnya Charm , which you shouldn't). Plus four of those creatures are mana dorks, not good. Aggro should be running between 23-28 creatures, the key for aggro is to win by turn 5 (if possible) on a consistent basis. I think you have several concepts muddled and need to decide the direction you want to go: aggro or midrange.

Aggro is what im goin for is this any better to ya?

July 15, 2013 3:14 p.m.

Apoptosis says... #12

Better. ;-)

4x Ajani, Caller of the Pride is overkill. I would substitute out at least 1x for 1x Garruk, Primal Hunter mainboard.

July 15, 2013 4:51 p.m.

flashter says... #13

Thanks I was thinking the same thing I just like what Ajani's doing for me plus the low manna cost

BalkanDS says... #14

I would find room for Rootborn Defenses this card has saved me on so many occasions. You can all out attack and never lose a guy, survive boardwipes like Supreme Verdict AND make another token!

July 16, 2013 4:56 p.m.

flashter says... #15

Yeah I had Rootborn Defenses in the sideboard for things especially like Supreme Verdict but I took it out for a moment then you reminded me about those things, so I went ahead and put back 2Rootborn Defenses trying to get this beast of a deck ready for FNM so thanks again.

not tokens without Call of the Conclave

July 17, 2013 1:14 a.m.

flashter says... #17

That's true I actually run a playset of Call of the Conclave in place of Voice of Resurgence which is rather expensive, which it has every right to be.

July 17, 2013 1:20 a.m.

Bluemagictime says... #18

Looks solid. I would run Garruk, Primal Hunter main deck over Ajani

July 17, 2013 10:38 a.m.

flashter says... #19

I'm seriously thinking of runing that or maybe 2Ajani, Caller of the Pride and 2Garruk, Primal Hunter whats your thoughts on that? Anyone

July 17, 2013 3:33 p.m.

Apoptosis says... #20

Both are fine. You don't need 4x garruk in this deck.

July 17, 2013 3:37 p.m.

flashter says... #21

I understand that I was saying to put in 1 or 2Garruk, Primal Hunter I think that might be pretty nice not sure would have to playtest.

July 17, 2013 4:26 p.m.

Apoptosis says... #22

2-3x if you stay at 24 lands with the mana dorks.

July 17, 2013 4:44 p.m.

flashter says... #23

Apop what would you do to this deck if it was yours just wondering.

July 17, 2013 4:58 p.m.

Behgz says... #24

i would remove triumph of ferocity for pitthing needle in the sideboard, you can use Pithing Needle turn 1 to shut down anything the opponent is running from Liliana of the Veil to AEtherling or even their Nephalia Drownyard . Pithing needle is clutch right now.

+1 for taking it to an FNM. post the results on ur page after u get back!

flashter says... #25

Thanks for the comment I will definitely consider that suggestion I can see how that will help me against activated ability's.I'm going to be making a few changes over the next few days with FNM coming up, it's gonna be my first time back in a while so I hope all goes well.
