What is Jace's value? What is he getting you that you would rather keep him as opposed to other cards?
Dracknyght | 20-Feb-2015 03:51

You certainly seem to have to many creatures at the moment. Of those, you seem to have an excess of high costed creatures. I might recommend dropping Sun Titan as his value is questionable. Certainly he is nice for getting back your lost sac lands, but once you can cast him, you can pretty much cast the rest of your guys. I suppose he can help you thin your deck, but is he really better than or even equivalent with the rest of your high costed creatures?

Does Doubling Season really have value? Aside from Cathars and Zameck Guildmage / a few other things, this deck isn't hugely dependent on counters.

  Token generation is one of my wincons. It also doubles starting loyalty, which keeps planeswalkers alive longer, for the most part. Plus, I really like the card, so I'll only cut it if it hurts the deck

    Token Generation:
    Avenger: Great
    Hornet: Great
    Thragtusk: Minimal
    Spirit Bonds: Decent (Extra Mana cost)
    
    Counter Usage
    Fathom Mage: Awkward
    Glen Elendra: (She dies on persist with Doubling Season out)
    Draining Whelp: Seems good.
    Prime Speaker: Great
    Woodfall Primus: Receives -2/-2 instead of -1/-1 on persist
    Cathar's Crusade: Amazing
    
    Possible way to make Doubling Season better
    Consider adding Juniper Order Ranger

What is the purpose of Amulet of Vigor? It seems to me that there is limited long term value. It has value in the early game but questionable value later on. Brago can't bounce lands and neither can Roon.
- Iluvatardis | Edited 20-Feb-2015 03:14
  
  sun titan can return lands that wind up in the graveyard. Otherwise, you're right. It also helps against blind obedience. Also, the way this deck is turning out, I have lots of expensive creatures, so I need the guildhomes to ramp faster, and amulet of vigor makes them so much better.
- - Dracknyght | 20-Feb-2015 03:33
    
    GuildHomes refer to which lands? You certainly don't have any guildgates... Also, when you say ramp faster, do you simply mean available sooner? Is Blind Obedience really a thing you need to worry about?
  - - Iluvatardis | Edited 20-Feb-2015 03:47
      
      By process of elimination, the guildhomes are the original ravnica lands that make 2 mana, but bounce a land on etb. And I want to have efficient lands so I can cast 6 drops reliably. Come to think of it, I think guildhomes ate actually a different cycle, with stuff like novijen heart of progess or vitu-ghazi the city tree. Yeah, correct term is ravnica bounce land. And blind obedience is merely a potential problem.
