Eh yes and no I ran it with and without them and it did better with growths than ranger I rather have a turn two growth and bird and have 5 mana by turn 3 to drop Gideon or sigarda than just a bird and and a 2/2 beater

And besides I have way to many 3 drops as it is, liliana, souls, o-ring, beast within,

What about avacyn pilgrim? Almost guarantees a mana dork t1 when you run 8. Am I right?

Instead of the green suns, you might just want 2 {Somberwald Sage}. She doesn't help with PWs of course, but she helps you cast elesh really easy. T1 mana dork, t2 somberwald, t3 elesh

T3 elesh is really scarry...it makes people crap their pants.

Putting somberwalds in would probs compensate for leaving out the pilgrims.

I had him in here too but that was the problem, I had like 8 mana turn 4-5 and almost nothing to play I mean this is deathgarras deck from the article but I just molded it to my effed up meta and he was right about the pilgrim and ranger, but I only had gideon, sorins and sigarda as my win cons so it was to slow with no card draw so I'd run outta steam

Bump

Quite true. People just leave the room on Cockatrice from my experience. Same is true with T3 Gisela

Card drawer {tezzerts gambit} works. You can play it t2. 8 mana dorks and playset of those wouldn't be that bad.

And the reason why liliana isn't mb is because she makes yøū make tough decisions since yøū don't benefit from discarding a cars that has flashback. Like in WBU, there are a couple more cards with flashback that are too terrible to discard with her +1. You always want card advantage.

In terms of control, with what's available, WBU works better than WBG.

What if I added 2 sun titans and 1 unburial rite and took out the green suns and one lingering souls then took out the rampant growths for borderland ranger that way if they die sun can bring them back?
