Primeval Titan is banned =[

Also, are Grizzled Leotau and Centaur Healer worth a slot? I feel like Terastodon is more worth it, or like Gaea's Revenge would be more useful. Just a thought.

Rhinotoad I believe you have a good point. what do you think I should cut for the rocks?

Here's something stupid(ly awesome) for you: have Trostani populate the creature token made by Phyrexian Rebirth .

Hour of Reckoning is an awesome wipe. Also, Glare of Subdual is great in token decks.

Phyrexian Processor and Serra Avatar are amazing in this deck, trust me

Blakkhand and nickd1979

Thanks for the suggestions, I like Hour of Reckoning and Phyrexian Processor

next question is what do you think should be cut for these cards?

Dryad Militant seems the only weak one in the deck, take a look at Plea for Guidance as well, being able to search for enchantments is pretty good

NBK_SHREDDER says... #13

nickd1979 yeah its not on my maybe board here on tappedout but its for sure on my maybe board next to my deck.

I will probably take the Dryad out for the Processor

... Command Tower > all your current lands

Sylvan Caryatid > Bloom Tender

Maybe Karametra, God of Harvests ? She's kinda meh but Trostani nearly makes her a creature by herself.

You need Swiftfoot Boots ; Trostani is a huge target otherwise.

I'd be running Elspeth Tirel main. She resets the board in your favor the turn after you cast her.

You seem to have a lot of flicker effects; have you considered the many artifacts that can return creatures to their owners' hands?

Uh. You appear to already have a Karametra.

:X

zandl I cant believe that I don't have Command Tower in here. I have several of them I must had forgotten to add it.

I am not seeing how Sylvan Caryatid is better than Bloom Tender with bloom all i have to have is one white permanent and it is tapping for G and W

Also if I had Elspeth Tirel I would have her in the deck.

and by flicker effects you mean many creatures that have enter the battlefield abilities?

Why are you running Land Tax ? You don't have much basic lands in the deck to support it, plus you're in green. Ramp is green's strength in EDH, consider cards like Cultivate , Kodama's Reach , Yavimaya Elder , Explosive Vegetation , or Skyshroud Claim . In theory you should be the one who's leading in land count, so Land Tax wouldn't be at its best in a green deck. Your Ajani, Mentor of Heroes also needs more support. You potentially have 27 targets for him if you don't have creatures on board. Ajani Goldmane is also pretty much useless, the +1/+1 to each creature is only relevant if you have creatures, the 2 life is pretty much negligible and the token his ultimate can be chump blocked for days, and that's if he makes it to his ultimate. Consider cards like Craterhoof Behemoth , Avenger of Zendikar , Darien, King of Kjeldor , Giant Adephage , Eternal Witness , Sun Titan , and Storm Herd . Your deck also needs some card draw or draw manipulation consider Sylvan Library , Sensei's Divining Top , Mirri's Guile , Harmonize , Garruk, Primal Hunter , Oracle of Mul Daya , or Regal Force .

I run a Trostani deck, as well. Feel free to check it out for more ideas HERE

Thanks cian114

I think you are right about the Land Tax , I think i am going to drop that for another tutor like, Worldly Tutor for a creature or Enlightened Tutor to get an enchantment bomb.

I like having the Ajani's because if I am to activate the ultimate and have Trostani out being able to populate with them would be devastating.

I like Eternal Witness that seems like a really good idea.

Thanks again for the ideas.

speaking of ramp. this deck needs Tempt with Discovery . My playgroup loves this card, because it acts as a group hug when players are mana starved.

+1 great deck! That deck name though...

I love the deck, I have a similar one that runs Rhys the Redeemed over Trostani, Selesnya's Voice myself. I was wondering why you chose her over him, he's cheaper and makes more tokens (almost always comes out turn 1). +1

Nullmage Shepherd is super sweet in this type of deck, I'd think about it. Also, I feel like Eldrazi Monument would be great here, it's certainly better than some of your other anthems.

AlbinoRaven says... #23

Oh, I uploaded my deck a while ago? When did that happen? I don't put a lot of money or attention to my EDH decks, but just in case I thought of anything you didn't Redeemed Deck .
