Looks to be a creature swarm deck. That's how you'll win

{ethereal armor}.

Agreed. I'd take out the {Opportunity} it's just bad.

If also take out the verdicts. Seems more harmful than helpful. Maybe some other three drop creatures.  {Fiendslayer Paladin} perhaps.

Since it appears to be swarm, {Frontline Medic} seems good here. All I know is swarm and White weenie and this seems to be a good combination of them

Awesome stuff so far guys, thanks! Think  {Spear of Heliod} might work in here, maybe as a two of? Just to give a little more pep to these token.

Anthems are always a bonus. Plus it works with  {Ethereal Armor}. 2 of sounds right.

I'm thinking three {Ethereal Armor}. Not sure if I need the fourth

Still need to figure out the side board for this, and maybe fix the mana base since the only green I use is  {Courser of Kruphix}

Isn't the real name for this deck Bant swarm?
Title: Re: WUG Swarm
Post by: Quisequise on February 24, 2014, 10:30:10 PM
Yeah, it's technically bant, but I say it WU with the tinest splash of green haha

Ethereal Armor is NEVER a dead draw. No reason not to play 4.

Currently only have one  {Ephara, God of the Polis}

Find space for the one ephara you have her card drawing too good especially as if brimaz blocks you get a card off her during yours and their go. Swap her for one aqueous form maybe she still enchantment toward ethereal armor but for me card advantage beats the 3rd make something unblockable

Is it completely essential to play the courser as well seems like not having it would make mana base much smoother and I can't see a major reason u need the mana ramp or life gain especially as bestowing a hopeful Edilon would probable result in more life gain in one move than a courser racks up over 3-4 turns

Starting to realize it's really not needed. It's just a good card that I wanted to squeeze in. Just from sample draws the deck seems quite clunky, removing the  {Courser of Kruphix} should make it run smoothly.

Still in the air with  {Aqueous Form} it's a way to make my  {Precinct Captain} hits

This is true but the fact that it would be replaced in the stack by ephara means the chance of finding the remaining two increases due to increased card draw. I understand there is an argument someone could remove ephara but she is an indestructible enchantment creature meaning anything that would remove her would also either remove aqueous form or worse the precinct captain it's attached too resulting in a two for one.

Oh no, I agree with adding the Ephara. Just deciding on how important the aqueous form is

If you are removing the courser then ephara fits there meaning your a forms stay :) otherwise to find the slot for ephara I can only recommend play testing and if you find yourself drawing a card and not being glad you did regularly that's the one I would swap. I'll shut up now.

No no thanks for all the advice. It's much appreciated.

 {Ajani's Chosen} and  {Heliod, God of the Sun} are great token creators that play well with the enchantment deck
