Warping Wail Maindeck in ramp?
Standard Deck Help forum
Posted on May 4, 2016, 3:27 p.m. by MTGNuclear
I've been testing two Warping Wail in the main deck and they have been great. They can somewhat stop aggressive decks and kill Jaces. They can counter important spells such as seasons past and declaration in stone which really hurts ramp decks. And last but not least, it allows for a turn three Explosive Vegetation which then allows for a TURN 4 Chandra, Flamecaller.
I'd like to know what you guys think about it and if any of you have tested it before

Those cards are not very good in a ramp deck tho DrLitebur. Also, I run 8 colorless lands as well as two Hedron Archive so colorless mana is not a problem at all

Did you just say that Cryptolith Rite isn't good in a ramp deck!?

Ramp decks don't run small creatures so no, it's not good.

MTGNuclear: I have to disagree. Any ramp deck needs something to get to that ramp, and Blisterpod in any deck employing Cryptolith Rite is like getting 2 or 3 mana for one creature. The only thing that keeps it from being better is a lack of haste. So, honestly, if you are not utilizing this card for your ramp decks, I think you are missing out. It pays for itself and gives up to two blockers as well.

You can get the same with Cryptolith Rite, Nissa, Voice of Zendikar and a Blisterpod, and not have to play off colors or wastes. How?
Turn one: Forest, Blisterpod
Turn two: Forest, Cryptolith Rite
Turn three: Any land (Mountain, check land, hand land, etc), Nissa, Voice of Zendikar, +1 Nissa, make a 0/1 Plant.
Turn four: Land for turn (untapped one) and tap it all down for Chandra, Flamecaller.
No fuss, no muss. But it doesn't require a different land, like Wastes to be played in the deck.
Just my thoughts.
