Sneak Attack over Defense of the Heart can be a game changer in these decks and Defese tends to be slow at best if it ever gets the chance to go off. IMO
Sun Titan over Krosan Tusker more value as it gets your fetch lands back at the least and is a better creature in general. Yeah you lose out on a beast but not a good one.
Knight of the Reliquary over Steelys Resolve Steelys seems kinda weak I'm guessing you say beast? You have enough protection and knight fetches you whatever land you need at the time and grows into a big guy too. If you add Sun Titan knight gives you even more value. ^EDIT saw its for Mayael but still I think you can do better.
Nice deck Mayael was my first love of EDH I still play her about once a week and no I didn't read the whole thread just skimmed the decklist so sorry if I suggested something already discussed.
I agree about Knight of the Reliquary. Naya is the best at tutoring creatures, and she functions as mana acceleration, color fixing, and fetch sorcery for non-basics. similar to prime time, but can hit the field faster via Green Suns Zenith and such. with these colors already supporting a good suite of creature and enchantment tool boxing, Knight opens the door for a more dynamic land tool box.
Guild Field looks fun for casual kitchen table magic.
Worldspine Wurm is going straight into my Mayael, not only because of it's incredible power and ability, but because I just so happen to have multiple ways to abuse him. Will likely replace Rampaging Baloths.
Yeah it's like the wurm was made for these decks. Can't wait till I get to sneak attack him lol
Nice. That's a great move.
My move is Natural Order.
Target him, shuffle him back in, put tokens into play, then tutor him back into play. Do this with Warstorm Surge out and deliver 45 damage to the face.
I also run Saffi & Angelic Renewal + sac outlets in High Market & Greater Good. He's bringing his wurms with him when he lands
The power creep for mass damage scenarios is making Mayael much stronger very fast when you take into consideration we just got Gisela too.
He's going to be so much fun to play. After my last post, I went and preordered him
Guild Feud will be a very big maybe. If you're like me, a budget restricted player, top deck manipulation is harder, as in just sold my last copy of scroll rack at boom. It's like a mayael trigger, stacked onto of a pandemonium for every creature on your upkeep.
THAT WURM. AWWWWWYEAH. Him, birthing pod, greater good are gonna be BFFs. Cutting the non legendary eldrazis for it.
As for guild feud it's a may ability though too so it mills your opponent and cheats any of your creatures at the least. Seems better than defense of the heart due to no need for your opponent to have creatures and less scary for them. Also the ramp we have available allows us to get it out turn 4 usually if it's in our reach early. I'll be testing it for a bit at least.
THAT WURM. AWWWWWYEAH. Him, birthing pod, greater good are gonna be BFFs. Cutting the non legendary eldrazis for it.
While there are no cmc 12 creatures to pod into, thank you for bringing it to my attention that I do in fact have a 3rd sac outlet for a Worldspine + Saffi (or) Angelic Renewal blink!
I really like that new Angel of Serenity for this. Helps remove some nice threats and with as many hexproof and indestructible things in the deck, it could be very tough for some decks to deal with.

Or with greater good can exile them completely! Or can be nice for recurring utility guys in your gy. I will be adding her to my list I think.
Right now I'm looking at Worldspine or Angel taking the place of Titan. I've also given Aegis Angel some more consideration. It's not like we needed the ramp anyway, after getting to 6.
Worldspine for titan seems kinda cool. Angel seems better since you can actually cast her though.
Also Aeon, don't you play either of the twin tower Colossus? Hell, Pod let's you go up to +1, you can go lower. Just go wurm-iona/reya/blazing archon-wurm chain or something.
It is and it isn't, the way I look at it there is potential to get another free creature on the battlefield each turn also because let's be honest 9/10 times we're going to have the bigger dude. I'll def test it and I'm hoping for success with it.

Similar, it's too expensive, and it's like a weaker Mayael effect.
Also, question. What is the best way to lower a bit of my curve. Effects like that Ulvenwald Tracker is VERY nice, and either small cheap dorks or just quick spells is what I need at the moment. It's been like a month since I played WITH Mayael, and it feels so clunky now, so any advice would be very helpful.
Same. Guild Feud is fun but too expensive and slow imo.
xlich, I checked your list and I would lower your Mayael target count from 25 to 22, filling those 3 slots with dorks. I'd personally recommend Sakura-Tribe Elder, Bloom Tender, and Somberwald Sage.
Is Armada Wurm worth a slot, or is 10 vanilla power just not worth it?
There's been a host of decent Wurms in this format, but Worldspine gets the nod in my list, effectively replacing Rampaging Baloths who's always been a
under performing for a while now. There's a trick with Worldspine and Natural Order to be had.
*with Prime Time gone landfall officially sorta sucks, so Baloths were easy to say goodbye to. Also gotta cut Lotus Cobra and might part ways with Admonition Angel once I get my hands on an Angel of Serenity. Avenger of Zendikar seems good enough to keep though. All it takes is a land for turn followed by a fetchland crack and voila - an army of plant bears.
Agreed with replacing the Rampaging for the new wurms. Worldspine is much better as a unremoval body, while Armada is cheap enough to be cast and yet still very effective. The angel is sweet, since having 3 exile effects, basically whenever we can manipulated is disgusting when cheated.
Why no Homeward Path? Prob for an ETB tapped fetch.
Oracle of Mul Daya over Reap and Sow still same cc but gets lands off of the top for better try's with Mayael the Anima.
Sneak Attack over Defense of the Heart can be a game changer in these decks and Defese tends to be slow at best if it ever gets the chance to go off. IMO
Sun Titan over Krosan Tusker more value as it gets your fetch lands back at the least and is a better creature in general. Yeah you lose out on a beast but not a good one.

I really SHOULD update that. Haven't done that in a while.
Also on the cards, loving the sage and the bloom tender. It's very sweet effect, and dorks are the best ways to work with.

Rampaging Baloths is a Beast for Contested Cliffs. There's a problem with removing it.
