{Birds of Paradise} is good for multi-colored deck, and it's a flying body which is cool to bond with. {Green Sun's Zenith} is good too, to find something you need.

I don't love {Craterhoof Behemoth} here, especially without enough ramp. {Primeval Titan} is better till rotation. {Blessings of Nature} is another card I'm in love with. It's miracle cost, it's even worth it for 5! If you're in a rut, place it on Birds of Paradise, 4/5 flyer mana dork by turn 2!

{Hinterland Harbor} too.

{Deadeye Navigator} interacts with everything so well, its just costly. Maybe {Abundant Growth} (for that multi colored land, and cantrip) or {Rampant Growth}.

Legion468

So more mana ramp= keep Craterhoof or just remove him all together? Because with all the creatures that could be out by the time I could play him he would deal a lot of damage also there is always that small hope of being able to pair him with deadeye

Dudecore

He's a 5/5 body attached to the {Overrun} spell. You could attach him to deadeye, but that's like...a 10 mana combo? He's likely a game changer, but he costs too much to have more then 1 of, and thus you're less likely to draw him to change the battlefield. {Primeval Titan} all the way.

I say keep craterhoof, is he more expensive than prime time? Yea by 2. Is craterhoof a bigger pain, giving all your guys +x+x and trample. I say keep it. Plus flicker it with deadeye maybe 2,3 times that's game

Yeah, but Prime interacts better with deadeye (look at all this mana!!), costs less to grab with zenith and is likely just a better card (cause you can drop him earlier).

I really like {ambush viper} and {wolfir avenger} in a soulbond deck because it allows for some fancy on the fly bonds. "you want to swing at me with your 29/29 vigilance elf? NOPE {ambush viper} and {nightshade peddler}.

Dodongo45

{Ghostly flicker} also works well for some rebonding.

Legion468

I'm liking all these ideas I'm just terrible at taking about and replacing cards

Dodongo45

I have the exact same problem. XD I usually turn some of my 3 or 4 mana four ofs into three ofs.

Just work on a mana curve you're comfortable with. I'd drop {wingcrafter} for the {Blessings of Nature}. Blessings is great for your {invisible stalker}, and if nothing else...{birds of paradise} can already fly (drop {llanowar elves}).

At 3 drop, I do like {Wolfir Avenger} more then {Trusted Forcemage}. He survives wipes, flash pairs, flash blocks, and is a better card against removal.

Create the best curve you can, and something that plays well. I've already made my Soulbonding deck, and it isn't perfect by any means, just some friendly advise. :)

Coffee Vampire

I agree with everyone else. Get birdies! :D Also don't be afraid to put in spells that don't specifically mention soulbound. Sometimes you can find great combos and stuff if you are more creative. Just mess around some with different cards!

Legion468

Ok I changed some things but the deck is still extremely inconsistent and it seems that I draw plenty of land but no creatures. And what about frost Titan to replace Craterhoof because I don't have any primeval

Willthomjr

No way. I still stand by craterhoof, If you play him with 3 creatures out +4+4 and trample its pretty much game.

Primeval > crater
Crater>frost. It's just my opinion.

Legion468

I have more Silverhearts now so I was thinking I would take out the two deadeye and Craterhoof to make room but thats takes out more blue and leaves me with very little blue so should I add more or remove it all together and go mono green?
