I like the idea of a garruk or two. and i could see {omenspeaker}s as well but don't think I'll have double blue for {dissolve}.

updated. is fog standard legal? what should i cut for dissolves?

particle · December 04, 2013, 12:14:55 PM

think i might need another garruk since i feel low on creatures but I'm gonna print some proxies and test it like this. thanks

Seems legit. Although {Supreme Verdict} or {Mizzium Mortars} always screws things up.

{Burst of Strength} is better than {Savage Surge} I think. Esspecialy if you have to exile one with {Elite Arcanist}.

I like the idea of maybe {triton fortune hunter} for card draw, to help you dig deeper for your combo if you don't find it quickly.

i agree this does need card draw but not sure if the fortune hunter is right. gonna finish the deck today and test it in fnm. if it does well gonna bring it to the IQ tomorrow.

Added +2 {lightning strike} to deal with opponents mana dorks so things dont get out of hand quickly. i cut garruk in favor of steam augury because i dont think a 6 mana cost dude is feasible here. plus i saved 40$ by not buying him. if the deck is super slow ill consider putting him in.

updated. got some testing in but definitely need more. went 1-3 at fnm but should have been t
2-2 due to play mistake. lost to mono red and mono blue. added karametra's acolyte for infinite mana.
