This deck is AMAZING, I actually thinking about building this. Just one question, if you were to put in 2x Angelic Skirmisher what would you take out of this deck?

Thanks Kelm if I wanted to put in two Angelic Skirmisher 's I'd have to say I'd take out both of my Scavenging Ooze 's and put them in the sideboard when I play up against Reanimater decks. This deck flows pretty nicely I've play tested it a bunch of times and mixed things around until it felt complete.

I'm thinking Heroes' Reunion would make a great addition to the deck.

Thanks HenrikBeatle100 I was honestly thinking the same thing and add that with Voracious Wurm for a four drop 9/9 technically? That's a nice combo to consider. Thanks for the advice :)

Yeah, no problem, I've been working on a life gain deck myself. Junk Life Gain - Path of the Jedi

Just gave you a +1 HenrikBeatle100 I like it and didn't find a weak spot. Just seemed all over the place but playtesting proved me otherwise. Nice deck!

Expensive card, but seems like you got enough mana to get good use out of Entreat the Angels ?

August 23, 2013 12:28 a.m.

Jsouth1217 says... #8

Yeah tntturtle5 I'd love to use that card but I'm keeping this deck more focused on post rotation so I don't build around something that will be leaving standard soon. Thanks though for the suggestion though :)

What about something like Rootborn Defenses ? Indestructible and populate is pretty good for 3 CMC

August 23, 2013 12:59 a.m.

Jsouth1217 says... #10

Yeah I have 2 Rootborn Defenses in my sideboard in case I play against control or anything with board wipes.

tntturtle5 says... #11

Oh haha, didn't see them there. Never mind that then.

Good suggestion though. I actually thought I forgot to put them in once you said that lol. Thanks though for your input. +1 if you like the deck and ill do the same for any of yours and give what input I can :)

Why not Kalonian Hydra ? I mean you have Gyre Sage evoling, Scavenging Ooze growing, Voracious Wurm entering big the majority of the time, and Archangel of Thune giving out +1/+1 counters like she's Oprah Winfrey. Kalonian Hydra will get work done in you deck, and you have the right amount of mana ramp to get him in play before turn 5. Just some food for thought.

I have been trying to build a deck similar to this but I have been thinking very similarly to watafire about Kalonian, he can win the match within a few turns of him hitting the field. Paired with Archangel everything pumps!

Jsouth1217 says... #15

Hahaha that was probably the best saying I've heard in magic for a card watafire but honestly Kalonian Hydra would be an amazing addition but I have no clue how many to put in or what to take out for it? Any thoughts that I can play test with?

August 24, 2013 6:01 p.m.

Jsouth1217 says... #16

Everything has good synergy together so I have no clue on what to move to the sideboard or even remove in general because one card getting removed will affect another card lol I'm stuck

August 24, 2013 6:04 p.m.

Kelm says... #17

What about taking Ajani, Caller of the Pride out for Kalonian Hydra . It would effect the synergy a lot less than other cards.

August 24, 2013 6:21 p.m.

Jsouth1217 says... #18

Very true Kelm mostly because I very rarely get his ultimate anyways so he's mostly used for counters or a big swing with his flying double-strike ability. So that's what I'll do then because it seems to fit nice without him.

August 24, 2013 6:46 p.m.

Dorfrat says... #19

I agree that it does seem like Ajani would the best choice to take out

Glad I could be of service.

Twyn says... #21

Assuming you could get your hands on some, would you put Voice of Resurgence in here?

August 29, 2013 1:30 p.m.

Kelm says... #22

I would say -3x Call of the Conclave for 3x Voice of Resurgence

Jsouth1217 says... #23

Yes I definitely would but not my focus yet. Plan on getting them before Theros though that's for sure. Thanks for the suggestion though!! :)

I'd toss in four Selesnya Guildgate just to help your land draw since I playtested it a few times and got screwed on mana one way or another
