Title: I need some bounce
Post by: Karrthus on February 19, 2013, 01:08:34 AM
Like the title says I need some bounce effects. I built a {Borborygmos Enraged} deck and am lacking in ways to get multiple lands in my hand at a time. The best I've got is {Khalni Gem} and those crappy ramp cards that puts lands into your hand.

 {Boundless Realms} and  {Gem of Becoming} could be helpful.

I'm not looking for ramp, looking for ways to return lands to my hand, I'm currently using plenty of mana producing creatures and artifacts to minimize on my land drops so my general can do his job. But also as a second measure I've added quite a bit of landfall creatures just in case he doesn't work. Seeing as how I'm going to be holding alot of lands.

Bouncing lands without blue is not an easy task. I can only think of a couple. {Firewild Borderpost} and other lands like {Dormant Volcano} are about all I can come up with.

I found some ways to reuse lands from the graveyard that you've already discarded for damage, though.

{Life from the Loam} or {Nature's Spiral} + {Isocron Scepter}
{Groundskeeper}

There are a number of creatures with ETB effects of search for a land ({Solemn Simulacrum}) or that return a land from your graveyard to your hand ({Cartographer}) that can be abused with {mimic vat} and {conjurer's closet}.
{Rootrunner} could be useful too.

{Isochron Scepter} says instant not sorcery

Whoopsies, those are both Sorceries, my mistake! Life from the loam is still repeatable through dredge though. Thanks for correcting me!
