Notes: M14 Update. TT: I have enough draw, a lot better draw. Library seems ok and Drakewing was never that great. Zephyr Charge seems amazing in pauper and Hunt is another Prey Upon. Sporemound seems good too.
Notes: Theros Update. Chimera seems pretty good for PDH and will help smoothen out draws. Asp is a decent sized creature with reach that can get bigger, and I can use those counters to draw cards.
Notes: C14 Update.
Nothing from C14 actually went in, but a couple of changes. Citanul Woodreaders just costs too much, I don't think this deck needs Mind Stone, and Temporal Spring can be a good tempo swing at times, but being a sorcery hurts. Replaced these cards with efficient artifact/enchantment removal in the form of Nature's Claim and a couple of cheap card draw/selection cards.
Other considerations included Compulsive Research, Commander's Sphere, & Preordain.
Notes: Fate Reforged Update. Bioshift is only good in certain situations and can sometimes be a dead card. Going to replace it with Map the Wastes, which not only ramps but also leaves behind a +1/+1 counter.
Other considerations included Aven Surveyor, Return to the Earth, Whisk Away, & Ainok Guide.

Fade into Antiquity: Actually really want to find a spot for this, not entirely sure what to cut.

Not sure if the decks needs Commander's Sphere but the other two cards are always solid additions. I could see an argument for Darksteel Ingot only because it combos nicely with Nature's Claim in a pinch.

Yeah, wouldn't mind finding a spot for Compulsive Research and Preordain in the future, they are in my maybeboard for now. Only considered Commander's Sphere as it's a mana rock that taps for either colour that can cycle itself when need be. As for gaining 4 life with Nature's Claim targeting Darksteel Ingot, not sure how often it would happen or even be relevant lol

Change Log
1/08/2013
-1 Think Twice
-1 Library of Leng
-1 Drakewing Krasis
+1 Zephyr Charge
+1 Hunt the Weak
+1 Sporemound
Notes: M14 Update. TT: I have enough draw, a lot better draw. Library seems ok and Drakewing was never that great. Zephyr Charge seems amazing in pauper and Hunt is another Prey Upon. Sporemound seems good too.
19/09/2013
-1 Reclaim
-1 Looter il-Kor
+1 Prescient Chimera
+1 Nessian Asp
Notes: Theros Update. Chimera seems pretty good for PDH and will help smoothen out draws. Asp is a decent sized creature with reach that can get bigger, and I can use those counters to draw cards.
1/05/2014
-1 Prescient Chimera
-1 Horizon Spellbomb
+1 Nature's Panoply
+1 Thrive
Notes: Journey into Nyx Update. Just one new cool card, should be good. Other considerations included: Ravenous Leucrocota, Sigiled Starfish, Aerial Formation, Font of Fertility, Humbler of Mortals, Pheres-Band Thunderhoof & Ravenous Leucrocota
11/06/2014
-1 Nature's Panoply
+1 Dream Fracture
Notes: Conspiracy Update! Yay, Dream Fracture got downgraded to a common! Panoply cost too much mana for what it did. Other considerations included Brainstorm, Marchesa's Emissary, Stasis Cell, Elvish Aberration, Hunger of the Howlpack, Enclave Elite, and Gnarlid Pack.
11/07/2014
-1 Hunt the Weak
+1 Undergrowth Scavenger
Notes: M15 Update. Just a slight change, want to try this guy out. Not only a finisher but also a big source of card draw with Zameck ^^
24/09/2014
-1 Bant Panorama
+1 Thornwood Falls
Notes: Khans of Tarkir Update. Just a small update to the mana base. Other considerations from the set included Embodiment of Spring, Force Away, Treasure Cruise (which might actually be good in here), Dragonscale Boon, and Savage Punch.
12/11/2014
-1 Citanul Woodreaders
-1 Mind Stone
-1 Temporal Spring
+1 Nature's Claim
+1 Brainstorm
+1 Ponder

Maybeboard
+1 Impulse: Good card is good.
+1 Mutant's Prey: More removal.
+1 Muddle the Mixture: Would have 15 targets, not a bad card by itself either.
+1 Preordain: More cheap card draw/selection.
+1 Treasure Cruise: Late game can be an Ancestral Recall
+1 Zephyr Scribe: Great looter.
Other Considerations
Conclusion
-1 Reclaim

+1 Prescient Chimera
+1 Nessian Asp
Notes: Theros Update. Chimera seems pretty good for PDH and will help smoothen out draws. Asp is a decent sized creature with reach that can get bigger, and I can use those counters to draw cards.
