-1 plains, +1 selesnya guildgate. one turn slower is ALWAYS better than being mana screwed. on turn two, if you have two forest, you're screwed. If you have two plains, you're screwed. A turn one guildgate also slows you down nothing at all in anyway if you don't have a one drop in your opening hand, which you normally wont. Even if you do, it's better.

Good suggestion my friend, and I realize you are correct. Also, I do plan on having. 4 scry temples as soon as Born of the Gods is released so that will also help me prepare for that. Cheers.

+1, soid build! My only recommendation would be to replace Boon Satyr with Loxodon Smiter , I know the Satyr is certainly more versatile, but the 4 toughness is going to be very relevant when BOTG hits.

yeah, i've been hearing a lot of people say that but honestly, i can't see smiter being better for my playstyle. bestow is amazing vs everyone, and it's been an easy way for me to take out blood baron. i have definitely considered this, i am going to stick with satyr for now and if he just isn't cutting it in the meta i'll swap him out for sure. thanks for the upvote!

I feel the same about Boon Satyr vs Loxodon Smiter ,I see why you asked the questions on my G/W based on your build. +1, I like this build version as well.

I hope they help you as much as they helped me out, specially against control match ups!

Armada Wurm is pretty cool, but it can only be cast at sorcery speed which is why i prefer Advent of the Wurm which i can cast on their turn. thanks for the suggestion though

The advice I have whether you decide to take it or leave it, is -1 or 2 brimaz, +1 or 2 Archetype of Courage
especially in a deck like yours

I love the deck but have you considered loosing the Loxodon Smiter for a better curve into an Archangel of Thune ? You already have a powerful 3 drop with Brimaz, King of Oreskos ?

@darcskies17 Thank you, I try really hard to succeed in competitive standard play. I totally agree that garruk is a better planeswalker than ajani. however, i rarely get to 6 lands in a game, and if i do i usually need it to protect my guys or to pump when i swing. he is just too high mana cost for my liking. also, i won 2 games tonight solely due to ajani and he just seems to work great with what i have going on. I will definitely check your deck out
@deanislig i definitely need to add some more plains after i took out call of the conclave for banisher priest mainboard. however, i plan on keeping in 4 selesnya guildgates to prepare myself for the temple scry land coming out in february 2014. so far i have been doing really well with them, but thank you for the suggestion
