Yeah RUG has the best tempo instants. You might even find room for Nivmagus Elemental , it's a neat interaction that you can exile your spell and still get the buff from Wild Defiance , essentially giving +5/+5 to the magus. You can even run Downpour and target three of your own creatures, exile the spell with magus, giving a total boost of +11 for two mana

but the problem with R/U/G is there is ALOT of good creature removal and I was thinking something like a G/W/R ramp n,stall with things like Thragtusk and Armada Wurm so I can always have a target to beef

Effects like Wild Defiance works best with small, quick creatures. A bigger creature that is expensive should already pack a punch in combat, so giving a +3 is statistically less effective on the bigger creature than the smaller. Think of it this way: a 2/2 getting +3 is getting +150%; a 5/5 getting +3 is getting +60%. Since it's easier to cast smaller creatures, it's more efficient and effective to boost a lot of them than to waste time casting bigger ones that are more vulnerable to chump blocking.

I see what your saying goody but I got some more questions 1. would it be best to focus instant speed pump or sorcery or Giant Growth vs Phytoburst

  1. what ratio of creature to pump would be optimal
