I know what your thinking Soramaro isnt that good but has good synergy with Meloku. If you can think of a better Critter please inform me. I need not say how it runs, its very basic .

Look, I love playing random cards like Soramaro. I really do. But he's like bringing a butterknife to a gunfight.

In t2, I believe that all of these cards would be better:
Air Elemental
Cerulean Sphinx
Cloudhoof Kirin
Jetting Glasskite
Keiga, the Tide Star
Mahamoti Djinn
Secretkeeper
Stratozeppelid
Uyo, Silent Prophet

I agree, Soramaro seems cute, but you have to ask yourself why you wouldn't be playing any one of a number of better options, particularly with the lack of card drawing in this deck. Where's compulsive research, tidings, even ninja of the deep hours? Jushi apprentice? Hell, where's the WOGs? You can't play U/W without WOGs, unless it's a straight weenie build, which this doesn't seem to be.

I'd play windreaver over soromano, and I don't even like windreaver that much.

Where's the point of Soramaro? You only use it after you've established some sort of control. I mean its either the finisher or it isn't. With Meloku you detain some of the threats while it gains you a winning condition. No extra card drawing would be necessary at that point. Anyone agree?

Card drawing is the means to an end.

do u guys have any idea how many answers there are to this guy ... u barely even touched on how much could happen to him ... there is couters and return crap which u mentioned. But ... u didn't mention any of the Putrey and or Mortify that are played in most Tier 1 decks let alone Faiths Fetters, Wrath, and any other random crap lol when u play this card im pretty sure any deck should have an answer to it haha even a shock could prob kill it. its a good idea but... your also gonna have to tap out to play him if u want him in mid game. I would consider running the guy spoken about previously the what is it called 6/6 trample flying can't target guy.... maybe 7/7 i duno the whole new set isn't that great not even worth much time to me.

But all creatures if there not untargetable are weak against spells...duh they're creatures!!

This leads to the question: Are there are other finisher creatures for Blue worth playing that are NOT Meloku or Keiga?

You should keep Soramaro.

This version of the deck seems too unfocused. You shouldn't play Savannah Lions, Jitte and Isamaru in a control deck..

And yah, Meloku/Keiga/Windreaver would be better. Descendant of Kiyomaro would be good in your deck, I guess.

Btw, is 21 land enough?
