This is one of my Hurricane Harvey Dump decks. It's quite impossible to do anything else when everything around you is flooded. May as well use this time to improve on some decks that are lacking. With that being said, on to the fun!
The 3rd Harvey Dump deck is Mountains Matter. It was originally built around Koth of the Hammer; he has since been moved and utilized in a different deck. I will likely have to pick up a couple more copies of him though for his utility in this deck. With that being said, on to the fun!
Deck Requirements:
-Keep the theme of Mountains Matter
-Budget is open, nothing too crazy
-Format is casual, anything goes
Now, this deck was decent with Koth, it held its own quite well. Without him, it's just okay. It still executes the game plan of getting a lot of Mountains out while thinning the deck, but it feels more underpowered now.
I already see a few additions that could be made.
1)Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle + Expedition Map. Though without the Scapeshift combo it seems too underpowered and generally expensive since it's a tiered modern deck.
2) Dragonmaster Outcast ramp with Koth added back in. This one seems more like a shoe-in as the deck would make extreme use of both cards. Though Dragonmaster and Lithophage are at odds with each other.
Does anyone have any experience with this type of Archetype?
I usually try to avoid dropping a link and moving on, but I'll check on this topic later. I ran a gatherer search of cards that interact with mountains, and it's got some interesting stuff. There's a lot of alternate cost spells that cast by either saccing a mountain or controlling one. Also, Genju of the Spires looked decent.
