Finally got to try this deck out. It worked almost flawlessly. I had no way to deal with Darksteel Forge, so I lost.

I just ordered all the cards I didn't own to make this deck. I'm super excited to try this out at the next play day. Smile

I decided to go with this based on the meta:

I've been really enjoying Maelstrom Wanderer builds lately. The list changes, but it's basically just some combination of ramp (Birds of Paradise, Shaman of Forgotten Ways, Coiling Oracle etc.) and then whatever powerful RUG stuff you feel like playing (Sylvan Primordial, Hydra Omnivore, Avenger of Zendikar, basically just whatever you feel like).

Yes, this is my favorite card. I've played a Commander deck with it since release. When it was printed twice in one year, I finally bought 3x more and now have a 60-card full of the same fun.

I think any list that has the words '5-color' and 'Elemental' is just less than optimal without the best 8 CMC card in the game, aka Maelstrom Wanderer.

I really like where this is going, I think I may update one of my own decks based on this list. Thanks!

I think 1-2x Deadeye Navigator is in order. Perhaps take out 1x Remora or Thragtusk

I've also played Dack's Duplicate and Phyrexian Metamorph in lists like this, and you'd get extra value from them here, because you can play them early and then just use Crystal Shard to upgrade them to something better later on.
Absolutely, yes! I run all this in the Commander version of this deck. With 60 cards, I want to play multiples and I don't always have good targets on the board that isn't my own creature.

Thijs1301 I do appreciate your feedback. I already have a deck that is more or less built around Purphoros and Prossh. I felt like with Lurking Predator and an average of four opponents, it seemed like enough free damage to the table to include.

Ok, so -3 Xenagos, -1 Nylea and +4 GSZ and improvements look good to sleeve up?

Ok, points taken. I had the Regent because it has flying and life gain, both of which are critical in the meta. I traded those for Silklash and Courser. Do you think it's worth adding a GSZ or Chord? I'm concerned about this being too much of a glass cannon. I also adjusted the Gods.

OK- I finally figured out the competing cards and determined what I really need are two decks. Arcane Insight is dead, now I have these two:

Considering: Gifts Ungiven

Painful RevelationMagic Online OCTGN2 Apprentice Buy These Cards
Creature (16) 3x Augur of Bolas 4x Baleful Strix 1x Laboratory Maniac 4x Mulldrifter 1x Notion Thief 3x Psychosis Crawler	Instant (3) 3x Sphinx's Revelation Land (24) 4x Exotic Orchard 12x Island 1x Plains 1x Reliquary Tower 5x Swamp 1x Temple of the False God	Sorcery (12) 3x Displacement Wave 2x Merciless Eviction 3x Painful Truths 4x Preordain Artifact (5) 4x Fellwar Stone 1x Sol Ring

I know I'm asking a lot with three threads on the same day, but I probably won't get to play again for the next nine weeks (soccer season), so I'm trying to prepare in advance and then buy some cards next month when MM3 bottoms out. Thanks in advance for your feedback!

The point is to get either Possibility Storm or Lurking Predators (ideally both) and then coast. Point taken on the bounce lands, but I think that is a waste without some Landfall triggers in there somewhere.

This deck works great, I just want to make it work better. The Treespeakers, Managorger, and Bellower were just clogging the works. I'm planning to buy some Craterhoof's after tehy bottom, so that will probably replace the Ibex. The Hydra and the Seekers do more of what I'm taking out.

I need early game starters and late game gambles for something better.
