Sideboard
(suggestions please)
This deck sorta came to be over the past week as I browsed all of the new origins cards as I wanted to make a rotation ready deck. The only cards I am willing to run that won't survive the rotation are cheep(less then $1) or things I plan on keeping(I nearly have a full set of each temple). With that in mind I would love some suggestions for main board and sideboard so please critique away! But first a quick run down of what I have now.
Bloodsoaked champion- decent guy to fill the 1 drop slot, combos well with Evolutionary Leap.
Heir- Fills the 2 drop slot nicely, and trades with everything.
Nissa- a 2/2 for cmc of 3 that finds me a forest, not bad but she really shines late game when she flips, becoming a hand and land filler, ultimate is normally game.
E Titan- a 5/5 for 4 mana with situation indestructibility and returns to my hand when people play stuff with delve. To good to pass up and what originally made me want to build a black deck.
Outland- 6/6 for 5 with renown 6. still not sure one this guy. He hasn't really done anything great yet(have not got him to renown) but he has dealt with some nasty creatures.
Kothophed- 6/6 flying for 6, forces me to trade 1 life for a card when a creature dies. has won me a few games.
Gaea's Revenge- an 8/5 for 7, an't to good. Till you consider he can't be countered, has haste, and immunity to non-green targeting effects. He is amazingly good and why I wanted to build a deck with green.
Ele bond- decent card draw as most creatures will trigger it, still not sure.
Evo Leap- lets me kill my dudes to search for other dudes. combos well with bloodsoaked and is a great answer when my guys get targeted by kill spells. while its cool, still not sure if it deserves a home here.
Mcut and Price- basic black removal.
Ruthless instincts- flexible and effective, great for giving gaea's or another big guy trample, or letting me trade with a flying dragon. want to try and get 3, maybe 4 in here.
languish, a great board killer, leaves most of my creatures still standing.
Ugin- do i really need to say why i wanted this guy in here?
Please suggest to me anything to think could make the main deck better, or what would be good for sideboard.
I think that you'd be better off with Elvish Mystic instead of B Champ bc your deck desperately needs mana. Also the Outland Colossus sucks I'd rather run {Arbor Collossus} until Theros Rotates. Lastly, Gaeas Revenge is dope don't get me wrong but it sucks ass vs any non counterspell deck. I'd reduce it to 0-1 MB and fill the playset in the board (bc it is bonkers in the SB)
Also {Nylea, God of the Hunt} should be a 2 of

This deck does fine without the mana from elvish mystic so I don't think it is needed but I will run some tests. Arbor collossus is solid but with titan being 3 black, and arbor 3 green, I am worried about my mana locking me out of one. I am not sure if Nylea would work that great, Her trample would be wonderful but I am not sure she would hit creature state much. But I do have a few copies of her and arbor so I will give them both a few test runs and see what I think.
That's the thing though she's there for trample and the occasional pump can win games :D
Arbor was just off the top of my head bc the other Colossus is just awful

Dude Outland Colossus doesn't seem too bad at all especially with trample that's a 5 drop 12/12
Arbor is much much better
I am gonna give nylaa and arbor a try tonight. I think once rotation hits if i can't find a new solid 5 i will either change back to outland or run black sidisi

Remember that there will likely be a dominant 5 drop from BFZ
True, but while it might be good that doesn't mean it will fit the deck. But fingers crossed
