    Random thought:


    Boseiju, Who Shelters All has never done anything. I either don't see it or don't need it. Every time.


    Meanwhile Defense Grid has been amazing, and only gets better with Faeries entering the fold.

    Hey new thought, Dryad Arbor? You can enchant it with Utopia Sprawl, untap it with Arbor elf, and it will get pumped by Craterhoof/Garruk Ult. Also saw a list run Sarkan Vol as a 1 of, i would assume you Genwave him then +1 to give all the other dudes you played off wave haste.

    I like this version better, more resillient to disruption. Find any way to get harmonize in? If you don't have the genesis waves and primeviel titans you should pick them up soon, the price is climbing on both.

      Thanks man. Got em both around December 20th for $1.75 and $6.99 respectively. ^_^


      Was looking at this archetype all that month. Glad that it's getting recognition (or hype at least). Gives me some financial security if I want to trade out.


      I'd love to fit Harmonize in, but Craterhoof as a new win-con makes Harmonize a lot less attractive than Wistful Selkie. Genesis Wave already made non-permanents fairly unattractive. It would be nice if the next two sets bring us something else to do with green devotion.


      Kind of miss Cloudstone Curio. Without it, the deck can't go infinite and could possibly stall out (Living End?). It was nice knowing that there would never be a deck with a bigger boardstate than this.

        My other thought I had was comparing this to Gr Tron both are sort of ramp to something nasty. Tron has 8 tutors, so i was wondering have you considered Sylvan Scrying in some number? Get that Nykthos or Kessig Wolf Run that you may need to go off.


        Also Tim and myself and a few others are planning on going to the modern GP in March, didn't know if that was something you were interested in, or if you'd be up for some playtesting sometime.
        • Derek Hoagland | 09-Jan-2014 21:51
          Definitely up for playtesting!


          I'll have to think about the details of a GP trip. I've never been to one before. Would definitely like to try.

            It will be Tim and I's first time as well, we wanted to go and I like constructed.
