MTG Salvation

Hello everyone,

I'd certainly appreciate some input. I'm a strictly casual player and money is somewhat of an issue, so I can't go out and buy expensive cards; however, I'm really trying to get this Ula deck to work. Sometimes, if I have the right opening hand, I can dominate by 4th turn (especially with a Stormtide Leviathan in play), but it's rather inconsistent and slow. I've revamped the deck twice, but I'm thinking that I shouldn't rely 100% on Quest for Ula's Temple; I need another way to "cheat in" those massive creatures.

CREATURES:
4 Augury Owl
4 Silver Myr
4 Aether Adept
4 Harbor Serpent
3 Stormtide Leviathan
2 Inkwell Leviathan

SPELLS:
2 Foresee
4 Turn Aside
4 Quest for Ula's Temple
4 Preordain
3 Spreading Seas

LAND:
2 Halimar Depths
20 Island

I'd like to keep this creature heavy; I've always wanted to deal out a massive beatdown outside of a green deck. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I'm not looking to win any tournaments, but I'd like this deck to win more than once out of every ten games.

Why are you not running four Halimar Depths?

I suppose I thought the "comes into play tapped" ability would slow the deck down, but it's slow enough already.

Why do you have Silver Myr?

Creatures for Quest for Ula's Temple and to speed up mana production. Since you asked, I wonder if it would be faster just to put in one-drop islandwalk creatures or the like.

Quote from Stijnhoofd

I would drop the expensive Foresee for something like Telling Time. It's cheaper and instant speed.

Thanks! That's a much better idea than Foresee.

Quicksilver amulet can also cheat creatures into play

Again, thanks all for the input; I think some of these cards could spruce up the deck a bit. I'm also thinking of adding Braids, Conjurer Adept.

If it doesn't have to be standard legal I have a deck list that is cheap and easy.

I've liked Sage of Epityr, Clockspinning, and Halimar Depths. Serum Powder is another option.

Thanks all for your input; I'm going to proxy some of these and try them out before I buy!
