Advice on Mana curve
Standard forum
Posted on March 17, 2015, 6:57 p.m. by GZ_Kavle
I'm currently building a deck that uses etb effects with grave yard shenanigans, but noticed my average cmc is 4.5ish. Normally i wouldn't care, but i notice how fast some of these standard decks are going. What's a good way of dealing with this. I have just recently got 4 Cariatids in a trade, but i feel that won't be enough.

If your average cmc is 4.5, you're way too high on the curve - aggro decks will probably destroy you.
I'm not sure what colours you're playing, but if you're in green, there's some low mana creatures that also throw cards into the graveyard - they might help you get to the late game. Also, you might want to throw in some sweepers.

This is the deck, average cmc is 3.9 now, still doesn't feel right though

Elvish Mystic, Frontier Siege, lower your curve?
I feel that Thoughtseize can usually get you a couple of turns of respite when played on the first turn. Take away their cheapest threat and you're good.
