Can this be moved to standard?

I personally feel you have way too many high mana cost creatures. Also, since you have blue in the deck already, you really should add some blue creatures. They shouldn't be underestimated. {Lantern Spirit} comes to mind.

Mentonin · October 19, 2011, 04:18:57 PM

My deck adds mana quick, but ill try to get some cheaper creatures. About the blue ones, i do not own many standard, so im a bit limited, but im willing to get 1 {Frost Titan} and 1 more grren {Primeval Titan}. I already added 2 {Harbor Serpents} to side, wich is blue but expensive. Maybe i get a lantern, any ideas for cheap blue creatures on standard other than that?
P.S. Cultivate isnt standard? If so ill have to find a replacement

MacUser001 · October 19, 2011, 04:28:20 PM

{Stitched Drake} is a really strong one, and only requires you have a creature in your graveyard. You can't get them back with this deck build so it means little to you to exile it.
Adding {Frost Titan} is a good call.
I didn't catch {Cultivate} and it not being Standard legal. Sorry.

Mentonin · October 19, 2011, 04:36:33 PM

Np, i liked the stitched sugestion, i think i already have one, maybe put 2 on my deck

Mentonin · October 19, 2011, 04:39:15 PM

But do you know a replacement for cultivate i could use? It is a really good card, taking 2 lands outta deck so i don buy them, ramping lands maybe by 2 if i have none in deck...

MacUser001 · October 19, 2011, 04:42:07 PM

{Mulch} could be a suitable replacement.
{Caravan Vigil} might be something to look at too.

EDIT: Maybe {Traveler's Amulet}?

Mentonin · October 19, 2011, 04:47:09 PM

Mulch wouldnt be standard, and wouldnt play lands to the field either. About vigil, maybe, but im willing to get the land to cast my heavy creatures, not after they die...

MacUser001 · October 19, 2011, 04:53:18 PM

{Mulch} is Standard. Reprinted in Innistrad. The system just pointed to the Stronghold version.

The Vigil would also put the land on to the battlefield if an enemy creature died this turn. It doesn't have to be yours.

Mentonin · October 19, 2011, 04:57:02 PM

The problem is to kill the enemy creature before mana ramp... Maybe side against sacrificers

Mentonin · October 19, 2011, 05:15:17 PM

Maybe {Rites of Flourishing}, it will probably help me better than my oponent

MacUser001 · October 19, 2011, 05:58:28 PM

Good call. That was actually going to be my next suggestion. Just don't be afraid to sideboard it out if you see your opponent enjoying it too much.

Mentonin · October 19, 2011, 07:12:03 PM

Thanks for the help man, im getting one more rite, plus the one i have, for the deck to replace. Do the effects stack?

MacUser001 · October 19, 2011, 07:20:28 PM

Absolutely.
