MTG Salvation

Quote from SlaveToPhage »

Yeah, I still have Kresh at the ready when I just want to smash faces/life totals.
Coffurborg cannot come close to Selvala. I dont rely on her draw ability, but with all the power matters stuff its been bonkers.
I also run Dreadnought, for the easy +12 power. Berserk as well works wonders with greater good/kresh/garruk/Xenagod ect
and all the power matters cards.

Dreadnought is only dead without Greater Good and/or Kresh, Selvala, Fling or Gravepact even.
Chances are you will have some of these as well. For a mere 1 mana investment its worth it imho.

• Curtain's Call: At six mana, minus let's say 3, because of your opponents... Three mana to destroy two creatures. This looks pretty good, but I don't think it has a place in our current list. I don't think it can replace Maelstrom Pulse for example.
• Magus of the Will: A very strong effect, but being a creature it is way to fragile. If you want to recur something, run the spell version instead, Yawgmoth's Will.

• Goblin Spymaster: Funny card with a solid effect, sadly it doesn't have a place in our list.

• Benefactor's Draught: If you're sure that you're running the biggest and baddest creatures go ahead. This card is solid card draw, sadly it can easily backfire. If you want more card draw, black has plenty of options.
• Evolutionary Escalation: Cute, but doesn't do enough.
• Primeval Protector: This would be amazing in a token version of the deck, the mana cost of this card is ridiculous however.
• Seeds of Renewal: Can't see what this does better compared to Eternal Witness, Regrowth or Restock.
• Stonehoof Chieftain: This might be the most interesting card out of all. At 8 mana, the cost is a little on the high side, but it offers... Evasion! If you're running Siege Behemoth in your list, this is a good replacement.

• Reyhan, Last of the Abzan: If you're running a counter theme, this should be an auto-include. In my current list, I don't think this card deserves a spot.
• Tana, the Bloodsower: This reminds me of a bad Dune-Brood Nephilim.

• Conqueror's Flail: Depends on your meta, if you play in a blue or white heavy environment, this is a very welcome card.

• Cruel Reality: Too costly for the effect, and only affects one player.
• Final Reward: 5 mana to exile a creature at instant speed isn't bad, but there are better things.
For example, 2 more mana and we have Scour of Existence. And if we dig even deeper, instead of a spell that exiles a creature... Why not take a creature? Duplicant is fetchable with Fierce Empath/Worldly tutor, and when it removes Ulamog or Kozilek it's a threat on itself.


• Hazoret's Favor: Interesting, it reminds me of Sneak Attack. But since you have to pay the cost... It's way less effective.
• Insult // Injury: Too bad this isn't instant speed. It doesn't double the power like Berserk does, thus making it less interesting. (Fling, Disciple of Bolas, ...)
• Cartouche of Strength: Fight, +1/+1 and trample. Looks pretty good
• Champion of Rhonas: Being a 3/3 it's pretty fragile. Sneaking out a creature seems powerful, but most of my creatures doesn't cost that much mana.
• Harvest Season: Powerful card, but this isn't the build for it. Looks very powerful in Wort, the Raidmother.
• Prowling Serpopard: If you're battling in a heavy blue meta this would be a very good fit. For me personally... Blue doesn't bother me that much.
• Rhonas the Indomitable: Strong card, but I think I still prefer Nylea, God of the Hunt.
• Vizier of the Menagerie: Oracle of Mul Daya for creatures. Reminds me of a smaller Garruk's Horde.
I really don't like the art of the card though.
