Ponder > Serum Visions

Also Garruk on 19 lands? Has that been working out?
4 Top without CB is too many.

I do have to agree with you that Ponder may be better then Serum Visions.

If I take the Garruks out then I would be able to fit in the CBs. Taking the Garruks out may be risky. I'll do some more testing with out the Garruks.

I think you are underestimating Treetop Villages,
1. I use them against control since they can't do much besides drop a needle.
2. Its a 3/3 trampler for two mana then can end the game.




I also would like to know whether a Mystic Enforcer would fit in here? I just don't know what I would take out to put them in. I also debated wether Lignifys would fit.

I have nothing constructive to add about the deck, but you talk like David Sklansky.

Do you see why?

Treetop is TERRIBLE. You need all your drops and village hinders that to a crippling point. And yes Enforcer should be in here over werebear

I did some testing online and came up with adjustments and here is the new list:


// Lands
3 [ON] Polluted Delta
3 [ON] Windswept Heath
3 [IA] Island
1 [IN] Forest
3 [R] Tundra
4 [B] Tropical Island
1 [CST] Plains

// Creatures
4 [OD] Nimble Mongoose
4 [OD] Werebear
3 [FUT] Tarmogoyf
1 [OD] Mystic Enforcer

// Spells
4 [5E] Brainstorm
4 [AL] Force of Will
3 [NE] Daze
4 [LRW] Ponder
1 [7E] Counterspell
3 [U] Swords to Plowshares
3 [CS] Counterbalance
3 [CHK] Sensei's Divining Top
3 [JU] Mental Note
2 [DIS] Spell Snare

// Sideboard
SB: 2 [OD] Mystic Enforcer
SB: 3 [10E] Pithing Needle
SB: 3 [US] Worship
SB: 3 [PS] Meddling Mage
SB: 4 [OV] Hydroblast


What do you think of that. It's obviously better. I could probably still use some work though. Give me as much criticism and suggestions as you can please. It's much appreciated.

I love the way you took out 1 Tarmogoyf, the cornerstone of the deck, and added 1 random Mystic Enforcer. leave the Tarmogoyf alone, they are happiest in fours.

I was waiting for this comment haha. They do go good in quads. I will make the adjustment.

the only reason I am using deltas is because i own deltas but not any strands. eventually i will trade them over for strands.
