Splash White/Black?

Standard Deck Help forum

I'm considering splashing white or black for my deck The Elements Cannot be Braved so that I get maximum value out of Woodland Wanderer more consistently ( in addition to Shaman of Forgotten Ways). Black gives me access to more draw and kill spells but white is more accessible since green is the primary color and gives me access to protection and decent removal. Or should I just not splash at all? Or perhaps just a basic or two?

What are your worst matchups? What would those colors give you to help combat those matchups? You already have the potential to get the four colors off of Woodland Wanderer, so I wouldn't go adding colors unless it gives you something that's a strict improvement.

Sorry for the vague answer, but hopefully I've provided some food for thought.

makes sense. It feels like the deck's lacking something, just don't know what. Maybe Oathsworn will give me an answer. Sucks that I can't test the deck out against others

I'll try to test it this weekend against my control brews and see how that matchup is. You already have green and red which both present you with some very good sideboard options against major archetypes. I think that Jaddi Offshoot is a very good anti aggro card, and you already have anti control set.

True. I forgot that the Retreat does 2 life and has more utility.
