Green/red permanents to search for a primal surge?
Deck Help forum

Hey, I've been thinking about an all permanent standard primal surge deck, but I don't want to run more than 1 in my deck, seeing how I don't want to flip one and waste 10 mana. It's a green/red deck, know of any permanents that can get it for me?
I'm brewing a modern version. Ramp into Primal Surge, then drop tons of creatures, including Madrush Cyclops and Hellrider for instant win.
I am running 3 Primal Surge, but also 4 Eternal Witness, so even if you don't get all the pieces out, you can put Primal Surge back in your hand to do it again next turn. Plus, modern gives you access to Boseiju, Who Shelters All.
It's possible in standard, and you can run Urabrask the Hidden instead of Madrush Cyclops, but you have to rely on just one Urabrask the Hidden since it's legendary.

Thanks, I was thinking about taking runescarred, but I would need to change my deck a lot. It would be great if either of you looked at my profile and checked out my deck, possibly tell me what to change around to fit mana in for it. Or if you think I should just have multiples. It's mostly a beatdown/manaramp. And I didn't want it to NEED primal surge, so its a lot like my old pod deck, with similar creatures. I really wanted the surges to be a major part of the deck though. Also, the deck doesnt have primal surges because for some odd reason this website wouldnt let me add 1

You can add them now. All cards from AVR are uploaded.

you'll want to run Galvanoth in there to play the surge cheaper, cant think of many ways to cheat it to the top of your deck though.

Thank you, but isnt galvanoth leaving standard when AVR comes out?

No. Scars block does not rotate until Return to Ravnica is released in October.
Also, it seems like a really bad card to play. It's expensive and fragile, and since Primal Surge is the only instant/sorcery you're playing, it's a complete waste almost all the time. It's better to just have ramp there instead.

Thanks guys, so do you think having 2 would do me fine?

I'm afraid the only standard permanent that I know of that can search your library for a sorcery is Rune-Scarred Demon
. It's not the colour you want but I hope it helps.
