What to keep and get rid of? What others to add that are not listed?
As soon as Villainous Wealth came out, I wanted to combine it with Genesis Wave in one deck. Now I don't know if the idea would be too competitive, but I think it would just be fun. So base thoughts are to start with Harabaz Druid and Jwari Shapeshifter. Four each of these. Four Villainous Wealth and two Genesis Wave. Now looking for ideas to expand from here. Card draw? Ways to protect my stuff? Speed? More mana production? Thank you.
Ha ha. That is a good question. The deck was built for a friend. His idea was to get Hundred-Handed One into play and make him invulnerable. i built a deck from there. Now looking for ideas to make it better. My build was to capitalize on +1/+1 counters, so I guess counters matter is a good way to go.
Ok here we go. There are a few changes that need to be done still. Want another Ivy Lane Denizen, one or two more Hindervines and maybe another Gravity Well. Will probably be putting in two of the new Ajani also. Please Critique. Thank you all.
Thank you. I appreciate your input and valid input at that. But some might call me a stubborn fool. Lol. I am going to find a way to make it work. Keep chiming in with ideas or comments. Oh, and you were right, all the cards I have listed are standard legal, but I could not think of any cards that would make the deck work in standard. What about bringing the lands down to just the duals that are green and another color. Add in Genesis Wave. More thoughts please.
I am planning on making a 5 color god deck. Of course I need the 5 gods from the next set, but I am working on figuring out the deck now. Am taking suggestions on how to make it properly. As you can see, I only put in the dual lands the have forest or plains in it, for Karametra and simplification of land grab spells. This may not be the most winning deck, but I think it will be fun. I original idea is to make it modern, but I will take standard ideas also.
This is my 5-color angel deck. I know it isn't much at budget with some of the expensive cards in it, but I am more of the casual player. Am looking for critique and ideas to improve it. Please and thank you.
Ok, sorry about the late response. Working late lately. I like all the ideas given and will procede to making changes to the deck. Thank you all and I will put a the redesigned version up when I can. Have to get a lot of the cards. lol Thank you again and please check out other decks I will be posting.
