Hi all, longtime player here trying to come up with a brew for my first Standard deck. I wanted to come up with a deck using powerful but underplayed cards to have a fun FNM level deck without breaking the bank on Tier 1 Good Stuff. Kamahl's Druidic Vow stood out to me as a card fitting that description so I am attempting to brew up a deck for it! I would love any criticism, questions, or ideas, especially since I'm new to Standard.
Here's what I have so far (v1.3):
Maybeboard:
Growing Rites of Itlimoc
Hadana’s Climb
Skysovereign
Mox Amber
Baird (sideboard)
Edit 6/11/18: Cleared several cards from the maybeboard through testing, updated the maindeck and added a sideboard (which is a work in progress).
6/21: Updated decklist. Ruinous Blast out of the maindeck, more planeswalkers in.
I'd love to play Awakening because it fits the Throwback theme of the deck, but I left it out because it doesn't do anything until it's a win condition. The other win cons in the deck are good on defense while I try to stabilize, such as Multani, Vow, Ajani, and Traxos. Maybe it's still good enough but I think I need to make the deck better against Red and Awakening doesn't help there.
I've gone to a couple Standard Showdowns so far and gone 1-3-2, done some upgrading and tuning and edited the OP to v1.3. The deck is a blast to play and I like where it's going. Anybody else been playing a similar deck? What are your experiences?
Edit 6/21: 3-1 this week for second place!
