MTG Salvation

I don't care what happened to the damn goody-two-shoes! I want my Dack back!

Either way, where should the discussion about Vannifar.deck take place, here or in the Kiki-Chord thread? Have some thoughts and ideas and I do not want that a possible discussion get split up into two places.

Greetings,

Maybe here for a moment, until somebody is brave/good enough to write an actual primer and has enough time to maintain it.

I'm not a great fan of Rhythm of the Wild in this deck, mainly because it's not a creature and it therefore cannot be tutored for, tapped for Convoke, or fed to Vannifar. Unlike Domri, Chaos Bringer, it cannot dig for threats (but, also unlike Domri 2.0, it can enable a Turn 3 Vannifar-fueled combo).

Unlike with the slower-to-assemble-combos Kiki Actual Pre-Ban Pod, I'm no longer convinced Murderous Redcap or Zealous Conscripts are necessary; while I may give Redcap a pass if you keep Rhythm of the Wild, Conscripts only enables 4-drop Persist and double 4-drop chains along with comboing with Kiki-Jiki and kidnapping the occasional hate permanent for a hefty 5 cmc. I ditched Conscripts and Redcap early into developing my heavy Vannifar build to enable cheaper chains instead, and I haven't wanted these guys back.

We're just testing Rhythm of the Wild to see if it helps at all or not, the alternative being either Domri, Chaos Bringer or just to +2 Prime Speaker Vannifar and a Kitchen Finks or a Restoration Angel. The choice is basically dependent on how much control there is in my enviroment and what kind of control it is. If it turns out to be an endless sea of Draw-Go, I'll stick with the enchantment. If it is Supreme Verdicts, Wrath of Gods and Damnations for days, I'll go with the new Domri. But if neither manages to surface I'll just add some more redundancy and pack in a few more creatures.
Also I like to play one Redcap incase there is say a Phyrexian Revoker on the field and a Glen Elendra Archmage if I have a suspicion that my opponent is holding on to an answer for Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker and the Zealous Conscripts is there so that I can Pod off the Redcap and off the Archmage with same assistance.
But all that is still in the testing phase.

By the way, I'm female.

You can thank the English language and my laziness for that, and I can add that it's nice that Finnish only has a pronoum for all the people.

Well that was a fun format. See you in 2019 when they finaly unban Pod, since as an unemployed I can't afford a new deck.
(Hint there has been only one format in past two years that I've been playing.)

Voice is good against BGx, hollow one, GDS, UW control, Phoenix, and can help against affinity and humans (from my experience).

I think the deck’s going to have bad G1s against combo but that’s just how the meta goes. You can’t have good matchups against every deck.
