I have Voice of Resurgence but us selesnyans got the shaft on the temple lands this round, and they blow just as bad as guildgates lol. Sylvan Caryatid might come back out for voice but it is still up in the air. But yeah it is a good card. Kalonian Hydra is one of them cards that doesnt look like much when he enters. But let him turn sideways and start doubling counters on cards like a monsterous Fleecemane Lion , Experiment One , Scavenging Ooze and himself every turn. He can make a game get out of hand fast, trust me. But he may get swapped out for a playset of Boon Satyr im unsure right now on it. I have a friend who loves this Bestow mechanic. He has been trying to get me too use the satyr in place of Frontline Medic . But that card has won me games with cheap populate tokens triggering his battalion. And alot of Esper players and such forget about him when they tap all out for a hail mary Sphinx's Revelation . The look on their face...priceless. I bet they remember to check opposing players board presence from then on out lmao. But all really good suggestions. Some of them were already being considered closely from playtesting. Thanks for taking the time to throw in an opinion though. Really appreciated.

Thanks! You're welcome. Does your meta have a ton of dontrol?

Ya I would say 40% of my meta has some variation of blue control like Izzet burn/counter with Guttersnipe and Young Pyromancer etc. Others play Esper contol/Grixis control. Then about 30% Gruul aggro. Then me included in the 15% G/W aggro/RDW. And last 15% is Junk/Golgari/etc., which Golgari will probably fade out for a while with G/B Zombies gone. This is strictly my % assumptions based on what I see. But G/R aggro and different variations of control is the majority of my meta.

I really like this deck. I was looking at hetricks green/white suggestion on channel fireball but I like this one better. I think frontline can really give blue some problems with sphinx's. The only thing I would change is the Bow of Nylea to Ajani, Caller of the Pride I've been using Ajani and he seems pretty strong the +1/+1 counter is free and theres always the option of the double strike flying wurm for 10 out of nowhere. Overall awesome deck!

I have a similar deck on my profile. There's another deck with the same name though.

Thanks BubbleBuddy. Yeah Ajani is in the maybeboard to switch out the Bow of Nylea . I havent been on here to much in the past couple days to switch them out. Gonna go ahead and do that. Bow of Nylea is turning out to not be what I thought it would after testing.

+1 from me. Very close to the deck I've been playing at FNM Voice of Selesnya. I dropped the bow as well and am going to get two Scavenging Ooze to add in this week.

if you get the Fabled Hero in there, even not getting the Unflinching Courage , if you hit it with the Selesnya Charm you have on turn 4 a 5/5 with trample and double strike, then next turn it is a 3/3 double strike
but those are the only things that work great with the Fabled Hero . you have the potential later on to use the Boon Satyr to pump it up to a 7/5 double strike if not hit by any other spells of yours. you have a total of 11 spells you can cast onto Fabled Hero hope that helps with your thoughts

Thanks for the input. Fabled Hero is one of them cards you want but don't know what to take out to make room for him. But he would be pretty sweet.

gwankovera says... #13
yeah I made a white enchantment type deck, that has him and the Fencing Ace in it. Heroic Encahntment as for what you could cut, maybe one of the creatures you have four copies of.and trade one out. Then if adding the Fabled Hero in place of that creature doesn't improve the deck then replace a different four of creature with the one you removed and try it that way.

I would suggest exchanging the Sundering Growth for Fade into Antiquity 'cause it can exile. Even though you lose the populate effect, been able to exile is a good choice since it can get rid of any god.
Maybe adding Grove of the Guardian could be a viable choice.

Thanks Achros. Both very good suggestions. Swapped out the Selesnya Guildgate for the man-land, and Sundering Growth for Fade into Antiquity .

Looks pretty solid. Since someone already beat me to the Grove punch, the only thing I can think of would be some Druid's Deliverance on the side for aggro, especially the evasive Mono Blue decks, and it's a nice combat trick vs any creature deck since you can still set up your blocks to kill some of their dudes. And Scion of Vitu-Ghazi would definitely do some work here, though I see that your curve is pretty low. I'd be tempted to shave off a Fleecemane and Pantheon to squeeze a couple in, but I've always been a sucker for synergy.
For pure entertainment's sake, you would probably enjoy the Description portion of my pre-rotation deck Tokin, I mean Token, with a Biomancer =)

LoL yea a buddy of mine I playtest with regularly came up with the name. He's one of them guys who has an 'illegal' reference for everything. Good dude just a... Space cadet as I call him. I checked the deck out btw, have u gave up on it?

ChrisHansonBiomancin says... #18
Oh it was a joke deck at the time, and it's no longer Standard. Tho I did play it at a couple tournies and seem to recall going a little over .500 with it. In some alternate universe where Master Biomancer , Talrand, Sky Summoner , and Trostani, Selesnya's Voice aren't all 4-drops, it might have been be a good deck.
"Space" cadet sounds like a perfect description for the person who came up with that name lol.

Hey! Thanks for voting on my deck. I came to check out yours. Great name :)

If you want some ideas, take a look at my GW deck, it's very similar to yours. Lions and Smiters and Wurms, Oh My!

I sure would love some advice on token a bowl, I mean my token deck lol (awesome name btw).
I just started building this, so it's all over the place. If you got some time for feedback, I would love some. Pride of Ajani.

If you could play Voice of Resurgence I definitely would. SOOOOO good. Your opponent has to play conservatively. I'm not sure about this but my 20 land deck sometimes gets mana screwed and you're playing 22 and a 5 drop without an immediate impact on the board. I'd cut the Kalonian Hydra if I were you. Also, Boon Satyr is very good. It's very much like Loxodon Smiter 5-8. Plus, it's good in every part of the game. My build is quicker than yours though. How is Frontline Medic ? Tell me if you agree or disagree with anything.
