{Emeria, the Sky Ruin} Sadly won't work because you don't have enough plains in the decK

Quote from: particle on October 29, 2015, 01:22:45 AMSakura seems cute, but there aren't that many basic lands for him to grab to begin with. Same goes for land tax sadlyQuote from: Prplprince on October 29, 2015, 12:10:08 AM
{Emeria, the Sky Ruin} Sadly won't work because you don't have enough plains in the decK
Add some plains. And {sakura tribe elder}. Then you can keep sacking him with {Emeria shepherd} and keep grabbing plains.
Also {land tax}!
Quote from: JordanCirk on October 29, 2015, 08:02:45 AM{grisly salvage} perhaps? Though you have ways of retrieving stuff from your graveyard, it seems like it could make you ditch key cards.
I want to add {Constant Mists}, anyone got an idea of what to cut? It's so hard to figure out with this deck it seems.
Quote from: Kaylesh on October 29, 2015, 09:25:45 AMYou're probably correct. Even though it fits the theme it may hurt me.

Quote from: Prplprince on October 29, 2015, 04:32:38 PMThere is a reason there are quite a bit of tutors within the deck, mainly grabbing either {Crucible of Worlds} + a white fetchland or {Life from the Loam}. Surprisingly, the deck gets the number of plains it needs pretty early on. Thank you for your comment though! The mana base for this deck is far from perfect, so I'll see what I can do to work on that.Quote from: JordanCirk on October 29, 2015, 05:00:15 AMQuote from: Prplprince on October 29, 2015, 12:10:08 AMShock lands and tango lands.

With 10 plains you'll need to get a lot of them on the board to turn it on and that's not a real possibility. Example you draw Emeria turn 9 and you only have 3 plains on the board and used 2 fetch lands already. Imo when it's good it's great but in your deck you need to work really hard to get it to be great. Now it is a one of that could get active eventually but if you want to make it more efficient you'd need a bit more plains

What about {Inkmoth Nexus}? Poison will really help pressure the decks that gain lots of life

Well all your lands are useful for the deck 😕 maybe a basic I guess?
Quote from: JordanCirk on October 30, 2015, 07:17:35 PMOr maybe one of the cycle-lands?Quote from: Prplprince on October 30, 2015, 06:29:46 PMIkr?

Quote from: Boomer17 on October 31, 2015, 01:30:31 PMDefinetly if I find one! Thank you!
Your deck should almost have an auto include for {Boseiju, Who Shelters All}
Quote from: Prplprince on November 01, 2015, 01:53:05 AMSeems pretty sweet! I'll have to see what I can cut :)
Thought of another card for you. How about {Squandered Resources}
Quote from: Double-O-Scotch on December 28, 2015, 09:44:52 AMI don't know. I want everycard in the deck to be good even without child in play. Mainly the ways I want to sacrifice him are through my lands, so I'm looking for more land tutors than anything
Highly recommend {berserk}. Amazing synergy with COA. Double trample GD and then clear the board at EOT. Also, {altar's reap}, {Diabolic Intent} or any card that benefits you when you sac. Just remember, if you return COA to the command zone, its ability won't trigger. It has to stay in the graveyard to trigger. So graveyard recursion is a must if you want to capitalize on that "blow it all up" ability.
Quote from: blackychan1 on December 29, 2015, 12:10:18 PMNo, not all. Id prefer to do as many as I can though yes!
Are you going to put in EVERY expedition?
Quote from: Thefluffymacheen on January 07, 2016, 04:01:22 PMHe's never seemed like that good of an inclusion. I'd much rather have {Prismatic Omen}. Did ALOT of editing to this deck so will be showing the changes later tonight
Realmright! I run white / blue fliers and use him for my emeria, sky ruin.
