1st G : Good matchups - Faeries / Merfolk / Revillark
1st G : Ok matchups - Swath Storm / Various Ramps / Elves

Post board :

vs. Faeries = 3x Firespout / 3x Riftsweeper / 3x Squall Line
vs. Elves = 3x Firespout
vs. Rev. = 3x Riftsweeper / 3x Faerie Macabre
vs. Storm = 3x Riftsweeper
vs. Ramp = Nothing (should be ok with just the LD)
vs. Merfolk = 3x Firespout / 3x Cryoclasm

4x Birds of Paradise
4x Magus of the Moon
4x Fulminator Mage
4x Avalanche Riders
4x Wall of Roots
4x Deus of Calamity
3x Cloudthresher
4x (2cc Druid that taps for G - untap him put a -1/-1 counter
3x Harmonize
3x Acid Moss (LD spell)
4x Karpluson Forest
4x Fire-Lit Thicket
4x Treetop Village
8x Forest
4x Mountain

SB:

3x Firespout
3x Faerie Macabre
3x Riftsweeper
3x Squall Line
3x Cryoclasm

Any suggestions or compliments would be appreciated, the only doubt in my mind that might be apparent is the sideboard choice of 3x Croclasm, boarding them in against Faeries is kind of a struggle because they usually only run 5x Island, so could possibly be a dead card...So it's only use really is against Merfolk, but as you can see I don't board in anything for Ramp, any suggestions on what to SB for ramp would be appreciated, but honestly Ramp isnt that big of a deal because of all the LD

Thanks all and hope you enjoyed the R-G Analysis!

No, I'm just tired, Magus of the Moon doesn't make the nonbasic lands BASIC Mountains, it just makes them nonbasic Mountains, so you can still use it.

I hope he IS joking.
If he isn't I hope he can read the card after...

What I am saying is that my first post was not legit since i for a brief moment thought Magus made the nonbasics BASIC mountains, now that I've looked more carefully, I have no comments on the deck at all, so if you keep posting on this thread, let it be about other things than my first post.

saffi erirksdotter turn 2 and fulminator mage turn 3 kills 2 lands, this can also be abused with kitchen finks to gain another 4 life and the obv turn 4 cloud thresher off a saffi (or turn 3 if u have turn 1 birds)

saffi + fulminator mage = amazing turn 3 (also sinergy with avalanche riders)...but i dont know if is a good idea to add white mana and this guy for this purpuse

I think the deck is kind of good but i would like to see how it does against fast aggro decks (merfolks, Rg beats, some elves builds)

aren't llanowar elves betther than the 0/2 guy from SHM that also adds mana? ok it gives you 1 more mana in ONE turn but doesnt allow you t go fulminator mage on turn 2

kitchen finks on sb instead of cryoclasm?
