it might be wrong to favor beast within over oblivion ring enchantments, but I prefer that slot be able to kill land targets in addition to the usual threats, particularly mand-lands. I'm already running 3 eternal witness so spells like that play well into my list.
#"Tron" is all about Ghost Quarter and Beast Within (should be in the MD imho) and SB cards as game 1 is very unfavoured.
#I've haven't played much against "Cheere0s" but I guess it is about having an early Path for their engine and slowing them down while trying to remove their creatures.
"Abzan CoCo" is probably about finding a Wrath or having a Path to fizzle their combo, should be a rather even matchup imho.
in the MTG-Goldfish lists that you linked, why didn't they run beast within?
i know green isn't a staple of titan control, but i'm finding lots of uses for Renegade Rallier
particularly I like how I can fetch and he net gains me land, further more he enables double ghost quarter on turns 4 and 5, before titan can enable repeatable ghost quartering. this can go a long way against tron, sometimes valakut if the situation permits.
I'm having so much fun with the G/W build and it seems very consistent at getting to 6 mana on time for Sun Titan and activating Emeria, Sakura-Tribe Elder is a great addition to the deck as the best 2-drop in the deck alongside Wall of Omens.
#I'm also running Beast Within in the maindeck and it is a very versatile card that can deal with any problematic permanent (even a land).
#Nissa, Vital Force has been great so far providing a lot of card draw after "Ult'ing" quickly or just pressuring the opponent with 5/5 hasty lands.
#The late game with Eternal Witness + Emeria seems unbeatable unless GY hate is involved.
I searched the thread and noticed that no one's brought up Eldrazi Displacer. I imagine it'd be much easier on the manabase to include that than to try to make the deck go three colors, and it's got a ton of value written on it. Thoughts?
I currently run a budget monowhite build of the deck. Haven't tried the Displacers myself, but interested in what others might think.
you have me curious, what does a monowhite build of this look like?

with beast within replacing say, the 3 banishing light, that gives you more land destruction game 1 against tron. counting the ghost quarter in the main.
isn't their a sacrifice outlet somewhere in those lists to allow saffi eriksdotter and renagade rallier to infinitely loop a combo?
maybe blasting station

I also like using it with kami of false hope and quasali pridemage. sakura-tribe elder gets a boost as well.
their is also a combo with it for Saffi Eriksdotter and a 3rd card, but I think that gets away from the core of the deck as a control deck.
I was running a deck similar to this a while back. I didn't run tribe elder though, I put in wall of roots and courser of kruphix.
Courser was pretty amazing for getting the land draws out of the way.
