so i was looking at oath of nissa from oath of the gatewatch set and i got an idea (theorycraft) of something that uses the charbelcher shell to spam multiple walkers as win conditions (techinically the win condition is getting a vraska to 7 counters and get assasain.... but i m debating if i want to put in a mountain and an anger to speed up the process....)
for some reason, i can imagine this in UW/control or some weird UW aggro built with geist of saint traft, restoration angel and stuff...... or even pod or GW aggro decks....
can you imagine:
Wingmate Roc attacks, restoration angel flashed in, wingmate comes back with a buddy.
the reason i did end up choosing wall of mulch over hornet's nest is because if my opponent decide to reset the board (or if I do), i can at least draw cards off the walls I have present.
I do agree with you on the Thassa thing.
other than that, would you recommand running Detention Sphere and Banishing Light then?
I also like your suggestion on the Orzhov deck, whats your thought on running the god in that version?
@ Zero
I cant play aggro worth for *****. or else i would consider making black devote aggro....
i m thinking the format might be faster post m15 with the amount of good creatures that are 3 drop or less to slow down the rush. i m thinking urborg should be a 2 of as well, i think it was because at some point i was considering Nightmare, but that's a stupid idea and forgot to replace the urborg with basic lands.
as for resolute archangel vs angel of serenity, i was thinking about that too, the angel of serenity provides removal and possible retrieval at the same time while resolute archangel does provide a soft reset if needed..... i don't know which one is better still.... i might want to playtest that first...
so i m considering the following two decks for post 15 rotation, all thoughts and crit are welcome.
the prediction I am making is that post m15, the format would be some what slower (with some fast deck in the mixes as well with an improve mana base for some decks)
So here's the two decks I am considering for post 15 rotation:
made some changes....
so here's the list:
4 Elvish spirit guide
4 Simian Spirit Guide
4 Gitaxian Probe
4 Manamorphose
4 Seething Song
4 Pyretic Ritual
4 Rite of Flame
4 Explore
1 Mind's Desire
3 Land Grant
1 Dig Throough Time
1 Brainstorm
1 Ponder
1 Preordain
3 Sleight of Hand

1 Jace, the Mind Sculptor
1 Karn Liberated
4 Oath of Nissa
1 Lion's Eye Diamond
4 Chrome Mox
1 Lotus Petal

1 Taiga
1 Tropical Island
can you imagine:
Wingmate Roc attacks, restoration angel flashed in, wingmate comes back with a buddy.
turn one land, ornithopter, mox opal, ghostfire blade, equip ornithopter go.
I am gonna copy an bident, no, thassa, no wait......
actually here's a ruling question:
if sarkhan, dragon speaker is a creature when you cast this, does that mean crater's claw deals x+2 dmg?
base on the wording, sarkhan becomes a creature right?
with a full multicolor set? cuz that would be awesome!
the reason i did end up choosing wall of mulch over hornet's nest is because if my opponent decide to reset the board (or if I do), i can at least draw cards off the walls I have present.
