Naya Midrange Post Rotation Help
Deck Help forum

Hey all,
I am working on a post rotation Naya deck based off the deck I've been using for a few weeks. I really like the layout and how it looks. Any help and criticism would be helpful! Thanks.

Even if it can't accelerate into Boros Reckoner it's probably still worth running the Elvish Mystic for T2 Domri Rade and Loxodon Smiter . Especially with how heavy your curve is on the top end.
It's pretty safe to run just 3 Scavenging Ooze . They tend to get in the way of each other, and you don't otherwise just want a bear.
Having 0 interaction mainboard, besides Domri Rade fight, strikes me as a little too ambitious. My personal preference is a 2/2 split of Mizzium Mortars and Selesnya Charm . Mizzium Mortars is a great removal spell for midrange because not only is it efficient, but the deck has a reasonable chance to overload it. And Selesnya Charm conveniently hits all the gods, if they end up seeing a lot of play.
Not sure if I'm a fan of Garruk, Caller of Beasts here, you already have Domri Rade for picking up more creatures and once you have the mana to cast Garruk, Caller of Beasts you'll have the mana to cast other game enders like Aurelia, the Warleader , presenting 2 big creatures the next turn just seems win-more. Maybe actually playtest Xenagos, the Reveler in this slot, as it helps to accelerate out but at an earlier point.
Likewise, I'm not sure if Primeval Bounty is a great fit for similar reasons. You need some grinding ability, which is what makes Domri Rade great, but Naya is otherwise all about presenting the best more efficient creatures available and constantly forcing them to have answers. I would probably mainboard the other 2 Stormbreath Dragons.
