Would Frost Titan be choice to run in UG in this? I do love Frost Titan and I love ramp decks.
First and foremost, this is a game, so if playing Frost Titan is the best avenue for you to have fun, have at it. That being said, to piggy back off of @FoodChainGoblins, Frost titan doesn't add a lot to the deck in that it doesn't help with the consistency of the deck, nor does it shore up some bad match ups for the deck. It will neither win the game on the spot, nor can it really claw back from behind. In terms of making the build as streamlined as possible, it doesn't look like frost titan is the extra bomb we want. All of the cards so far being semi-tutorable off of ancient stirrings/tolaria west is low key incredible and cannot be overlooked to giving this deck any competitiveness. If you want a fun UU card to oops I win with, then Hive Mind is a blast. And if you just want to jam bigger beaters, then breach is where you probably want to be.
Hello folks. I'm coming over from the Green Devotion thread, looking for a more competitive deck (but still ramp strategy), since Devotion has not been panning out for me. How is Amulet positioned these days? Is it worth picking up Amulet Titan in the current meta? I run into all kinds of decks at my shop so its hard to guess what's gonna be good on any given week. Primeval Titan is one of my favorite cards in Modern and this seems like a deck to maximize Titan's capabilities. I understand it is hard to learn, but I'm not opposed to practicing the different lines of play if it's going to reward me in the long run.
It's a fun deck for sure, and has some pretty solid games to win as well as can win from some positions almost out of nowhere. That being said, it is not the most consistent in terms of speed and you can get run over, as well as the games where you don't draw amulet feel incredibly different. Also, with tron and storm always being around, we will fold to some of their hate as well, which usually just means that people have good sideboards against us even if we're not on their mind. But if you can get through the fact that it will be hard, you end up with a ton of games where you get to make meaningful decisions and linear people as well as make a lot of linear decisions and midrange people. I'm biased but would def. recommend.
