That whole amulet titan thing is waaaaay too complicated with the like untapping the bounce land and giving stuff haste and all this intricate stack stuff.
Not this doe!!
Just play all the lands! Hopefully they've all become mountains sometime before you've played your sixth and then just play all the lands. PEW PEW!
Are you saying the other deck is too complicated so play an easier deck? I mean I suppose that's an argument, but wouldn't a better idea be to play the better deck and get better at it? I just saying that putting in effort to design, post, and playtest an inferior deck is kinda silly. If you'd have just practiced the good deck with all that effort you'd probably be winning tournaments by now. IJS
I was being a lil tongue in cheek. I don't doubt that copying a netdeck Amulet Titan deck is gonna win me more tournies than building my own goofy version but I wanted to do my own thing and this feels a lot more fun to play to me.
I mean that being said, it's had a decent enough win rate. Well timed removal on what's keeping all your lands mountains sucks but if they dont got it, I can get pretty consistent turn 4-5 wins.
But yeah, the intention is just kinda trying a diff approach at valakut.
Ah okay. I got you now. In that case I would love to give some advise. Thank you for clarifying.
First change I would suggest is cutting the Harrow. I love that card just as much as anyone else since it was a big player in Domain back in the day. But it does have the disadvantage of sacrificing a land when cast. A counterspell opponent can 2-1 you. 2-1s aren't too bad as your deck is designed in a way but it does suck for you main wincon to be 2-1'ed. In that place I would suggest Explore. That will let you dig deeper for your wincon and also allow land drops.
In place of the Rangers Path I'd suggest Nissa's Pilgrimage While doesn't go from 4 to 7 can be bad it does get you from 4 to 6 or 7 over a few turns it costs less mana. I'd cut 2 maps (6 Val searches should be enough) in favor of Search for Tomorrow. This helps you get to where you are casting your spells a little faster. Efficiency is king in modern.
I just thought of this. Scrying Sheets would help if you replaced all the remaining Forests with Snow-Covered Forests. It would occasionally work as CA while also letting you activate to see if the top card is one you need prior to casting one of your spells. I'm sure there are times that you cast a card and search for a forest mid to late game where the Omen or the dryad was on top.
