This would be interesting to play

Just a thought, why not run  {Predator Ooze} as well as stalker. Ooze sticks to board wipes and you can rancor.  Looks really cool tho!

whitedrake

I was considering rancor... But I was trying to keep only global enchantments in the deck... About ooze... It is not bad idea but its mana cost... I will have to test it if I will be able to cast him with no big problems...;)

It is quite fun especially after you will lock ur opponent's creatures t4-5...:D most people are not prepared for tons of enchantments...:D

This deck is awesome. I like how you can win by extorting {Mana Bloom} every upkeep hahaha ultimate troll face.

Thanks Coffee...;) I am trying to come up with something unusual that would surprise my agrro meta during Magic Game Day... Of course depends also on rest of dgm...:D

Edit: And as u said every turn slaping opponent by extorted  {Mana Bloom} is simply enjoyable...:D especially the face of opponent when he/she discovers that...:D

Keeping with the enchantments,  {Curse of Exhaustion},  {Gift of Orzhova},  {Abundant Growth},  {Forced Adaptation}

Oi  {Curse of Exhaustion} is nice piece thnanks for recommendation...;) but those auras does not fit that well... I am trying to play it more controlwise... To use global enchantments... And not relying on creatures...;)

Anyway thanks for suggestions +1 for u bcs of that Curse. ;)

Edit: mhmm but I could try to play one  {Gift of Orzhova} instead of one of  {Ethereal Armor}s...;)

Keep the armors, they are great. I agree with adding {rancor} though, seeing as most of the time you will be able to have it out on something. Also, {bonds of faith} is great in place of pacifism, just depends on your meta

Almosteric

I second bonds of faith (+1). Options are good!

Wackaman9001

If your meta runs a mix, maybe side 2 pacifists and 2 bonds so you can side out accordingly

Unfotunately my meta is full of agrro... Mostly naya with plenty  {Huntmaster of the Fells}s,  {Burning-Tree Emissary} and etc...

And to rancor... Why to play it? In the deck is only one creature that is unblockable... What would be the reason for rancor then?

Rancor is just too good not to play!  Sure stalker is unblockable but, for the same cost as  {Ethereal Armor} stalker gets +2.  With rancor and armor it's +4 same as two armors. Plus if your stalker eats a  {Tribute to Hunger} you can keep rancor.

I get ur reasons and still do not think that rancor is suitable card for this deck... 50 percent games I would be stucked with rancor on my hand and I will not be able to play it... It happens with armor already... I love rancor but it is not good enough for this deck I guess... For me is better to have global enchantments on battleground than waiting with auras on my hand...;) but of course I can try to playtest it...
