5 drops and enchantments - selesnya
Deck Help forum
Posted on Nov. 2, 2013, 12:58 a.m. by Seten
So I was working on my selesnya deck (Selesnya Zelesnya Aggro) and I realized that I had no 5 drops (my highest card was advent of the wurm) and no enchantments. Do you think 5 drops and enchantments are necessary in an aggro deck like mine, and if so, what are the best enchantments and 5 drops? (Also any other suggestions welcome.)
My brother runs Advent of the Wurm as a curve topper. No need to bump it up to 5, same as Vindemiatrixx said, Unflinching Courage is a scary card on most selesnya decks. Your deck would like the support of Ajani, Caller of the Pride as well, flying double strike dumbos or wurms with Unflinching Courage is no laughing matter.

Also, maybe limit Boon Satyr a bit, unless you plan on bestowing him most of the time, he's very fragile and susceptible to burn such as Magma Jet and first strikers such as Precinct Captain . If you know your meta plays many multicolored cards/decks, Soldier of the Pantheon is an amazing card, especially that multicolor protection.

@ osang21 you basically described my deck lol. To a tee! I use 2x Boon Satyr which is "limited" lol. Also, Advent of the Wurm and Trostani, Selesnya's Voice are my curve toppers. Both 4 drops lol. I also run 2x Ajani, Caller of the Pride as well as 2x Soldier of the Pantheon ! Funny stuff. But yeah no need for a 5 drop it just slows you down really. Id rather play a Loxodon Smiter and a Fleecemane Lion instead of any 5 drop you show me. Unless its Elspeth, Sun's Champion which I will be adding a copy of her and replacing something to test her out in case i eat a mass removal spell such as Supreme Verdict plus her ability to kill anything 4 power or greater is nice considering my deck stomps anything under 5 and most of the time even 7 power thanks to Unflinching Courage she is the ONLY high drop I would consider, and she is a 6 drop.

No 5 drop needed, enchantments are up to you, I personally run Unflinching Courage for its amazing value.
Check out mine Tread with Caution (1st place FNM) for reference, it may inspire you to change it up a bit. So far it has taken 2 victories at FNM.
