MTG Salvation

Any ideas of what to use to help card draw? I think so far that is the biggest downfall of this deck, not being able to draw what you need.

This is what I've finally come up with. Thoughts? Anything I should add, remove, or change?



I'm trying to work out a sideboard, but I don't have anything definite yet. Cards I'm considering adding to either the main deck or sideboard are below:

Chromatic Lantern
Ground Seal
Nephalia Drownyard
Witchbane Orb
Lone Revenant
Nevermore
Blind Obedience
Detention Sphere

I'm not sure how much Blind Obedience or Detention Sphere is needed.

Instead of Otherworld Atlas a few Lone Revenant might be a good choice.

I'm trying to decide, would it be better to have Chromatic Lantern or Mana Bloom in this deck? I'm not sure it has need for both.

This is what I've come up with a deck so far. I'm currently working on lands. Explanations below for the cards I've modified.



-4 Ground Seal
-3 Detention Sphere
-3 Blind Obedience
+1 O-Ring (Added to help counter the loss of 3 Detention Spheres)
+2 Gideon, Champion of Justice
+2 Nevermore
+1 Elixir of Immortality
+4 Mana Bloom

- Blind Obedience : Very few people use artifacts in my area. The only reason this would be good is if the creature has haste, but it really isn't all that important in this deck.
- Detention Sphere : I don't think this card is really all that necessary with O-Ring, Sensory Deprivation, and Agoraphobia.
- Ground Seal : I think this card would be better in the SB. I think a better alternative would be to have Nevermore instead. The reason behind this is because a large majority of decks don't rely on cards from the graveyard around my area. This could be important in different locations, but depends on the meta.
- Mana Bloom : This card helps a ton for the lack of multicolored lands.
- Gideon, Champion of Justice : I really like this guy, but I'm pretty biased because I pulled two from packs and have nothing to use them for. Anyway, he can easily be used to win the game when the board is on lockdown. Plus, I just want to use this guy in a deck since I have a few not in use. -.-
- Nevermore : I think this is a better alternative to Ground Seal in most cases. With Alchemist's Refuge , this card can stop anything. I'm debating if I need more than 2. Thoughts?
- Elixir of Immortality : I'm not sure this card is needed. However, it is there in the off chance cards are placed into the graveyard that I need.

I'm trying to decide if it is worth putting any cards that help in drawing. I'm thinking Otherworld Atlas maybe be helpful. Finally, are there any remakes as to how this deck looks? Anything that should be removed, changed, or added? Thoughts on lands?

What changes do you think should be done? I'm kind of thinking that adding in a few Realmwright could help quite a bit with out the expensive lands. Maybe adding in Chromatic Lantern could help quite a bit also. Most of the cards in the deck are green and white. I think the duals could be cut. Maybe I'm missing something here, but instead of playing Ground Seal , wouldn't it be better to use a card that allows for multiple cards to be drawn? The additional effect on the card is good, but the majority of decks don't rely on cards from the graveyard.

On a side note, I've always wondered this. If Detention Sphere is used, and another copy of the card exiled is played onto the field, what happens? Do all additional copies of the card become exiled also? Or, are only the card and it's copies on the field exiled, and any additional card with the same name plays normally?

I really like the idea of the first one. However, it looks like I would cost a few hundred dollars to create. Most of money is from the lands obviously, but Blind Obedience is kind a spendy too. Do you have any ideas how to make it more budget friendly but still keep the overall tone of the deck?

Are you still playing this deck? If so, what is your current deck list, and how is it fairing at your FNM?

After doing some searching, I think making the deck GW would be the best choice. Green has quite a few cards similar to Fog .

I've been wanting to put this card in a deck ever since I got a few from RtR, but I only run aggro decks due to the meta around here. However, I wanted to try something new and I really like this card. Does anyone have any idea how to possible make a deck around this? I was thinking of limiting it at 2 colors to keep it more budget friendly.

I really like the cards Martial Law , and Assemble the Legion . Hoping I could put a few of these into the deck too.

Do you have an example deck Murdox?

Interesting. Does Fling still kill Gideon if he is indestructible? I was also thinking about a lockdown deck of some sort. I have a few Spheres and Martial Law that I've been dying to put into a deck. Is there a card out there that would make summoning these easier, or something for mana ramp for white?

I'm more of a casual player, where I play mainly with friends. I figured it would be a gimmicky based deck in the first place. Do you have a rough outline of something I could use?

I posted this earlier in the budget forums, but I'm looking to make the best deck possible. Anyway, I bought half a box (18 packs), and I pulled two Gideon, Champion of Justice. What kind of deck could I build around him? I really want to use him, as I have two just sitting around. I've been working on a deck, and I'll posted it when I'm done. For the time being, I'm hoping someone can throw something together. It's taking me longer than normal to figure out a deck, because I've never used a deck with Planeswalkers in it.

Edit: I realized I posted this in the wrong forum page. Can a mod delete this?

Shinbatsu, I'm wondering, what could you add to the Boros deck to make it better?

How does Boros Charm work with Gideon? If I use it first and then use his ability, do all my creatures stay on the field?
