MTG Salvation

Have you noticed if people would start side boarding or adding to their sideboard Taju Preservers at all? And if that affected you in any ways?

Your list is short 4 Preordain If you have the first turn blue often enough to support it.

JtMS isn't just good because of his abilities either; keeping another Jace off the field is worth not digging 3 cards deeper a lot of times - those 4 mana leak probably won't save you from some mind sculpting, especially if you're spending the first few turns ramping.

I run the fetches because they don't come into play tapped and they fix my mana. I could consider throwing in Raging Ravines, but singleton Halimars and Khalnis seem "meh" to me.

Why are you using fetches? They're definitely not worth the use (statistically speaking, unless you get them in numbers the deck thinning is negligable, but the damage isn't.)

I run them as 1 ofs because they aren't 'necessary' but they're ok to get. I was thinking about raising the Khalni Garden count to 2, and the Halimar Depths count to 2...but I'm a little hesitant. I do run 3 Raging Ravines now because it's another wincon. Thing is that I prefer to have lands that don't CIPT.

Anyway I'll probably be running this list for a while yet until the metgame settles and we know what we're dealing with. It's still going strong.

I'm curious about the Raging Ravines, Khalni Garden and Halimar Depths.

Never seen them used as 1-ofs without KoTR or Primeval Titan. I'm running your list with Fetches instead of those pretty much.

where are the fetches?

4x misty rainforest
2x scalding tarn

I don't understand how you justify a single shot draw effect as being a better fit in a deck which has a relatively high chance of drawing nothing but lands/ramp and expensive spells. Given all your shuffling effects, Jace can basically dig your entire deck in a couple of turns, and you have the removal and blockers to protect him.

Because shuffling your deck doesn't guarantee that you are going to be changing the cards that you look at. You still have the same number of lands, and whatnot. Also, you are relying on other cards to make Jace's brainstorm better. Even assuming that Jace gets the shuffle mechanic in, it takes him 2 turns at least to do what Foresee does in one. Even still, 6 cards in 1 shot is better than what Jace can do in 2+ especially since by the time you play Foresee chances are that you've already done some thinning of the deck yourself. I run 6 Titans and 4 Destructive forces. The chances of my not running into one of them with a Foresee is very slim. By the time I've run Foresee I've gone through at least 10 cards, and a 1/5 chance is not a bad one (not to mention the chance of hitting another foresee to do the same thing the next turn.)

The Jace thing is a bit weird but if your putting up results, I can't argue.
I agree on the Inferno Titan. Primeval is better for the right deck, but this isn't it. It kills threats after a D-force that Primeval titan cannot. Two lands are great after you blow all the lands away, but to clear the room of any big threat is just amazing.

Thanks for the comments. Here's what I think:

I guess I was just trying to justify not having Jace by saying I couldn't really protect it -- but the reality is that I just think Foresee is a better fit for the deck. Digging 6 cards deep is nothing to scoff at, and I think Foresee as a card is generally undervalued.

Again, Inferno Titan just seems to me like the better option post DForce as a finisher than Primeval, he also helps a lot against aggro, and kills faster than any other Titan. The problem with Primeval is that I just don't see it being needed. If you throw a DForce you should already be in a position where you can ramp back up on your own, have Garruk out, or have a finisher like Frost/Inferno...and in that case Frost/Inferno both get the job done better than Primeval. What do you need the land for when you should be swinging for the kill? Nothing should be able to out-ramp you minus Valakut, and they don't have the removal for your Titans so you should always have something sticking before DForcing. Not to mention Inferno can make the difference between an opponent's creature surviving a Force and not surviving when it attacks post Force.

Also my only change post Scars so far is to insert 4x Naturalize somewhere in my sideboard, 3x Pyroclasm, and change my distribution to 2x Sylvan Ranger and 4x Explore.

I have to agree with the above post. Primeval can help seal the deal as Frost can by ramping you back up therefore making D-Force that much more devastating to your opponent. I would have to agree though that the counts on Frost should be higher because he is seriously undervalued right now.

Instead of inferno titan, why not but in primeval titan. You made your case for frost titan over it, but inferno over it?

You could easily protect jace in this build, but he isn't needed in it really, foresee is the better card for this deck.

How would you make changes for the deck with the new cards being spoiled? I might want to test something like that for Game Day.

Um destructive force protects jace?
