Those are fair points. I guess at the very least I'll stop linking to DeckStats ports of my lists in my primers.
Some notes - apparently my WB deck still features some green, and the lands that aren't green are apparently colourless. Also, given the fact that your pie charts are highlightable and clickable and something happens when you click, it'd be nice if it'd, say, bring up that selection of cards or something.

Dec 16, 2017Rumpy5897 posted a message on MTGSalvation's Deckbuilder is Here!I tossed my Daxos primer list up on it for fun, pieces are still green, the order of the cards within sections feels frankly random, all the enchantment creatures went to live with the enchantments. Not sure what's the point of the printing specification, or how to control it when pasting a list (i.e. 95+% use cases of the thing). Not really sure this was needed, in all honesty, given the fact the forums exist and have decks.Posted in: Articles

Sideboard, why you so overcrowded. Kavu Predator so good. Ugh, need to figure out what to cut and what to put in. Gut shot's demanding attention as well.
But yeah, guys, tokens? Am I seriously alone in getting wrecked by them?
I lose more than my share of games against all sorts of token stuff, be it Lingering Souls/Timely Reinforcements et al or Young Pyromancer. Am I just doing something wrong? I'm actually really considering Gut Shot in the side for the extra removal opportunity, but another thing that comes to mind as a slate-wiper is Ratchet Bomb.
I'm loving how streamlined this is, but second the call to add some Overrun-style stuff to accelerate your win.
It would be cool if the primer linked the math to the 22 lands as I can't find it somehow. I only get screwed if I keep greedy one landers, pretty much, and 21's been working out quite well so far.
4 Experiment One
4 Dryad Militant
4 Kalonian Tusker
3 Scavenging Ooze
4 Strangleroot Geist
4 Leatherback Baloth
2 Thrun, the Last Troll
4 Vines of Vastwood
3 Aspect of Hydra
3 Prey Upon
4 Kavu Predator
3 Pithing Needle
2 Deglamer
2 Unravel the Æther
2 Obstinate Baloth
2 Bow of Nylea
What do you guys think? Pithing Needle has been an all star so far, and in tandem with Deglamer/Unravel the Æther has been relatively okay at keeping things that Torpor Orb would have been for in check. I quite literally put in Kavu Predator as I started making this post, in place of the things I cut, so yet to see him, but seems like a great way to swing all those annoying lifegain match-ups our way.
In the end, both scenarios are perfectly answerable, with the answer suite overlapping and being a smidgen larger for the non-instant things, as you were so keen to snarkily point out. Brb putting Illness in the Ranks in each of my decks, switching commander to xB if needed, because that answers every single way to win ever, thanks for your insightful comment I rest my case
You need two cards as well. Craterhoof Behemoth. Which you'll have a far easier time digging out, as green has far more tutoring available than red. Unless you have haste, you need to drop the avenger first, and then the behemoth the turn after that. True, this opens you up to some more response like wraths. Green's also the colour of resilience to wraths, so you can get the avenger back just fine to re-use until he doesn't get wrathed if you so desire. Or just play more goodstuff. Or just let go of the green thing for the sake of discussion and go play Maelstrom Wanderer and barf out a board presence out of nowhere and win. Not infinite, is fair.
So in the end, if the fact that you can't just wrath a Kiki/Conscripts-style combo is enough of a justification, switch up your answer suite a bit. I still believe that there isn't a huge deal of difference between the two, but you do back your point up enough for it to show that maybe in some metas it kind of matters. But the metas should just adapt a bit accordingly.
Also, I can't sing enough praises for Prey Upon. I don't miss Dismember one bit.
2/10 fail bait
