I was wondering if this deck can be any competitive in the current meta, and if you think it can be improved somewhere, please do give suggestions Smile

// Lands - 23

3 Brushland
5 Forest
4 Plains
3 Llanowar Reborn
4 Temple Garden
2 Treetop Village
2 Horizon canopy

// Creatures - 19

4 Thornweald Archer
3 Gaddock Teeg
4 Loxodon Hierarch
4 Troll Ascetic
4 Blurred Mongoose

// Spells - 18

3 Shield of the Oversoul
4 Glittering Wish
3 Chrome Mox
4 Armadillo Cloak
4 Umezawa's Jitte / Loxodon Warhammer

I've made some changes around the last couple days. Been testing in MWS and won quite a few matches. The only problem so far was the heavy discard decks but the rest was really fine. What do you guys reckon? Wink

this deck doesnt exist in the current meta

mongoose and cloak are illegal in the upcoming rotation... and there's no events until it rotates.

if you were buildin it i think GW slide with loama nd cycle lands is the way to go. living wish is nice. i pilotted it to a nice record

well then forgeting about the meta and just as a deck ^^ ..
GUw threshold hm.. nah, I dont wanna play blue really. I thought about Living wish yes, but Glittering wish goes more with the GW theme im running here. And a slide deck with this? O.o .. can't see it working as well

Discard is an issue. You can try Wilt-Leaf Liege, Bottled Cloister, or True Beliver. Though none of the cards above will stop turn one Thoughtsieze, turn 2 Cabal Therapy. Having 6-8 one drops also is going to help your discard match. If you play Wilt-Leaf Liege with Birds of Paradise and Elves you can drop him on turn three. If they go for Thoughtsieze or Cabal Therapy on three then you will not leave them with many choices other then Wilt-Leaf.

I am not sure about the two drops that you have. Tarmogoyf and Watchwolf seem really good for your game plan.

I would also think that 4 of any equipment card is a bit much. 3 Jitte should be good.

Aaah watchwolf!! How did I forget him! Yes he perfectly fits in ! Also reduced Jitte to 3 as your suggestion and added the Leaf's Very Happy

. Thanks for your suggestions R3wind Wink

It's been really fun. on the 4th turn when I get my watchwolf with shield + armadillo, they just concede LOL.. Very Happy

I guess it's hard to fight a 7/7 flying trampler lifelink indestructable dude Shocked

PS: and this survives the next rotation .. besides armadillo =)
