MTG Salvation

I always keep an eye out for this thread. Although the deck can be quite linear at times, this is one of my favourite ones to play.

I'm disappointed that I agree with Lunar regarding Genesis Wave... It's a bit overkill. And I'd rather be playing T&N or GSZ to make sure I get what I need...

Also, I'm loving the idea of Beast Attack and Chaos Warp. More 3CC land destruction that doubles as creature removal?! So good! Not sure if I'd drop any of the dedicated LD though. Some of the best wins I've had are due to mana denial.

Better to drop some of the more combo-ish stuff. From the OPs list a few posts back ive dropped: Siege-Gang Commander, Imperial Recruiter (I dont have one..dont know if I actually need it anyways, but meh at 3cc there are a lot of other things we can do, plus we have tons of other ways to tutor so I havnt missed it)and Genesis Wave. I also dont get to run Fastbond here so that gives me a spot. (the multiplayer ban list does give me goodies like Sol Ring and Mana Crypt which are both crazy good tho :P)

In those spots its easy to fit Beast Within, Chaos Warp and I am also running Blood Moon which is crazy good here even if it occasionally shuts off Gaea's Cradle. Mana denial at this point is as strong of a theme as the combo potential of Wort, id love to fit Hall of Gemstone as well, but im not positive at what I could drop for that as well without really watering down the combo which I feel is just at the correct point. HoG might also be a meta call depending on your group, it is definatly amazing sometimes and underwhelming others (kinda like blood moon I guess)

Don't really know why Genesis Wave sneaked in there.

-1 Genesis Wave
+1 Chaos Warp

Still not sold on Fresh Meat though, but I might be wrong. Primeval Titan is a card that gives you so much advantage on it's own that it is staying, and also setting up for big turns later down. Just fetching Strip Mine and Wasteland can be brutal. Tutorable, and I find myself in spots where I tutor for this over Regal Force (most of those i have deserted temple already). Even without any synergy with other components of the deck it would still be decent.

On Chaos Warp. This card is not something you want to play t2/3 to kill a land, as the odds of flipping a new land or something better is just too big. Great answer to problem cards like Teeg and generals in general though.

I maintain this is the best deck in the format: I'd love to see you tear up a tourny without the usual internet / time issues :/ Seems like you always have to drop due to technicalities.

That being said, I think you should reconsider Urabrask, the Hidden as a possible pseudo-combo-piece. When I played this deck, I remember a decent amount of time spent spinning my own wheels and sometimes it results in nothing but a passed turn and 200 tokens. I imagine an conspired-entwined Tooth and Nail for Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, Primeval Titan, Avenger of Zendikar, Urabrask is good game then and there.

Just food for thought.

Wolf Run is a house in a deck like this. I have a similar deck in paper and I'm working on one in MODO and Wolf Run is one of those cards that can just steal a game.

I played the list above last night, probably 8 games, and in at least half of them I was wishing there was a Terastodon in there. And maybe a Woodfall Primus too. I would also add Dryad Arbor for Green Sun's Zenith and Natural Order shenanigans.
