Fastest Green Mana Ramp?
Modern Deck Help forum
Posted on July 7, 2015, 2:23 a.m. by mirkwood
Hello.
I'm working on putting the finishing touches to a G/U deck that features 3x Stormtide Leviathans. What are some of the fastest Mana Ramps I could put in my deck to get him out by at least turn 4, or 5. I already have Llanowar Elves and Silver Myr for green and blue respectively. I've also got 2x Farseek and 2x Ranger's Path and 2x Viridian Emissary.
The deck: Stormtide Emergence
Any help is always welcome.

4x Birds of Paradise, 4x Search for Tomorrow, 4x Noble Hierarch (not a budget option), Sakura-Tribe Scout functions alright, if you've got a bunch of one-drop ramp guys, Rattleclaw Mystic could be morphed then flipped for extra ramp. like turn 1 birds, turn 2 face down mystic, turn three/four lands gives you the leviathan.
your deck looks super inconsistent with all the one-ofs, I would try to narrow that down to playsets of necessary/always-wanted cards, 3-of cards you want but not in doubles, 2-of cards you often want but not every game, 1-of cards that are situationally good or extremely high mana like Blue Sun's Zenith.
your land base could be improved. I understand budget but at least Hinterland Harbor could be good, and I would replace your panorama with Evolving Wilds or Terramorphic Expanse, whichever has artwork you prefer in your budget.

Sakura-Tribe Elder for land
Tooth and Nail as another way to get the card out (would only cost 1 more to cast but you can get two out).

Uh, maybe Lotus Cobra and Birds of Paradise?
