I've considered that card the only problem I have with it is if I hit a torpor orb it another card I need then I'm kinda screwed.

What do you think of replacing 4x anicient stirrings with 2x grisly salvage and 2x treasured find?

Ever consider running Sundial of the Infinite as a backup/alternative to torpor orb?

i have actually been considering it but this decks so consistent at the moment im not really sure what to take out.

Really like the deck it sees really cool How does it do with removal?
April 20, 2015 3:31 p.m.
from the matches ive played with it removal hasnt been much of a problem. if i play a big creature and they get rid of it,its almost never a big deal since they all cost 4 mana or less and there are so many of them that i almost always have spare in my hand or already on the field.

Yeah, with 10 theoretical copies of torpor orb in your deck you probably wouldnt need it.
It does open up a few more building options though, stuff like Shriekmaw, that acts as removal as well as a creature threat at the same time.
I love the looks on peoples faces when you drop torpor orb on T2 and your opponents are all like "wha?! You mainboard that!?" XD

Oh its an amazing feeling! Haha and the only problem with adding sundial and shriekmaw is it would slightly taint the scavenge part of this build and it is definitely an important part if the deck. I swung in with a 74/75 birds once,shit was crazy haha

Sweet deck, I've always wanted to make something like this!

Is the Shred Memory more for the tutor or do you need gravehate where you play?
April 23, 2015 6:25 p.m.
I do use it mainly for a tutor but the graveyard hate is slightly necessary in my meta especially with all the tasigurs running around,even if I have a torpor orb out I can still use it to tutor up most cards in my deck including hunted horrors so its never really a dead draw.

Only thing I can say is using discard spells incase they got a way to get rid of your orb, other than that it seems pretty solid. I love how you can regenerate your troll.
April 23, 2015 7:17 p.m.
I can also regenerate varolz at any time and scavenge the creature whenever I need,it honestly runs a lot better then I thought it would,the fact that it has two paths make it very consistent.

And I thought about adding a few inquisition of kozileks but I have no idea what id take out for them.

You can prob side out some scavange targets. When you play different decks, you will know which cards are weak and you swap in cards to make the match-up easier. I can definitely see a bunch of hand disruption having a good place in your side though. After that, its just testing, meta, and hopefully someone runs a similar deck that can give better pointers.
April 23, 2015 8:30 p.m.
Yeah I think hand disruption will make up a good portion of my sideboard lol

I'd weight your landbase a little more toward black. I just playtested, and the very first game I got Torpor Orb out and then couldn't do anything because I only had one black source.
Even though it looks like almost an even split of mana symbols, none of your cards have , while six cards have (eight if you count Shred Memory's transmute).
Since Birds is your preferred one drop it's probably enough to switch out one forest for one swamp until you get more non-basics.

Now that i think about it, liliana would be a MONSTER here. Constant discard, removal, and the discard actually benefits you more than most people using her. Shame she is $$.
April 23, 2015 8:42 p.m.
What would you remove for liliana? I've been trying to decide but I can't come up with a clear choice.
April 28, 2015 3:59 a.m.
Prob cut down the 3 birds and 3 trolls. I really am unsure too lol.
