3-1-1 the draw was voluntary to insure more prize packs.

This is what i ran this week, it ran really well. My loss i can attribute to a stupid play mistake where i chose the wrong land on a {farseek} and couldnt cast what i needed due to that bad choice.

I performed the lotus combo 6 times tonight and {craterhoof behemoth} or {angel of serenity} closed up the matches i didnt combo.

The sideboard is a full or partial transformation sideboard and brings this deck to a selesnya mid range feel with passive lifegain and field control components replacing the combo and excessive ramp cards.

My favorite victory was super fast ramp into {diabolic revelation} for 2 searching {zealous conscripts} and {deadeye navigator} who ended the game the following turn. The most unsual one was achieved against RDW using almost entirely {lingering souls} and {trostani, selesnya's voice} in a slow war of attrition.

I dont like the {selesnya charm}s in this list. Suggestions?

{Door to Nothingness} because you could actually do it.

Funny, and i would if it ended the game that turn. Im actually strongly considering {faith's shield} as a cheap protection against simple spells that shut my combo down.

I was thinking that might be a great transformation sideboard.

Can you elaborate the "combo?". I think I'm missing something...

{gilded lotus} + {zealous conscripts} + {deadeye navigator} means game over if the opponent doesnt have an instant speed answer. Infinite mana, infinite haste to all perminents, infinite steal and untap perminents.

It couldn't hurt late game, and you deck has the fatties of a Reanimater.

Izzet?

{gilded lotus} was printed in m13. It doesn't matter if your copy of it is from mirrodin or even alpha (no this lotus wasn't printed in alpha, but i believe {giant growth} was and you could use that for this example if you're feeling picky).

{Angel of Glory's Rise} as an alternate wincon perhaps? You get deadeye and conscripts back AND conscripts can give angel haste ;)
