Underworld Dreams was in the initial list. I took it out due to the hard 3 BBB, which is really rough early on. In my retired casual list the Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur would work just fine, but I don't see him doing me any good here. Same with Mikokoro, Center of the Sea. Lands are delicate balance when I combo off early, I'd rather have colored mana than colorless and ones that cost mana to activate. But definitely some ideas to revamp the old casual list.
Played several games with Merieke this weekend. Finding myself wanting more non-creature removal or more counters. Dream Tides worked great and has earned its place. Also needing to find two slots for Dimir Doppelganger and Coffin Queen.
This build focuses on the +1/+1 counter theme. The majority of the cards in the deck give out counters one way or another. Made to not have to rely on just a few cards to make the deck function. The whole deck functions as the theme so there will always be something to do. Pretty easy to come back from a board wipe or targeted removal with this build. Thoughts and suggestions are always welcome.
With the low curve of the deck, Dream Halls wouldn't fit too well, plus give my opponents more opportunities to disrupt me. It would work fine in my older version of the deck. I also opted not to go the infect route in this version as well. While still possible it may make an appearance didn't on what isn't performing well. That being said, Hive Mind is interesting. I will have to see how I can fit it in for some testing. It would be a good tutor target when I'm ready to combo.
The objective of this deck is simple. Ramp up your mana and play big fattys. Tooth and Nail is present for the Craterhoof Behemoth win. Thoughts and suggestions are always welcome.
So Homeward Path is now a thing being used against me. Gonna take that swamp I was gonna put in and switch it to Strip Mine. Need to decide if I want to go with a counter and tutor package. The hate is getting real for this deck. And Humility is freaking all star.
