MTG Salvation

Good Morning

I've run Horde's elementals in the past. Some cards worth considering:

- Embodiment of Spring - to help with the ramp
- Fertilid - to help with the ramp
- Wolf of Devil's Breach - can produce some solid aggro and help seed into the graveyard the bigger elementals for Horde's to grab.
- Torrent Elemental - simply shuts down an opponent. This is a high threat card.
- Greenwarden of Murasa - helps with recursion
- Rubblehulk - the Bloodrush is powerful with Hordes, and then comes back with Hordes too
- Soul of the Harvest - solid for card draw
- Maelstrom Wanderer - this is a Horde's wincon.
- Omnath, Locus of Rage - really good rattlesnake card if you have the protection for him.

- Tempt with Vengeance - can be very fun
- Hoofprints of the Stag - is surprising difficult to deal with
- Rite of Replication - when one is just not enough
- Evolutionary Leap - helps seed your graveyard with good stuff with Hordes
- Chromatic Lantern - is quite important
- Elemental Bond - this card is quickly becoming a staple

As for potential cuts, some of the cards I would consider are as follows:

Celestial Force - the life gain is just not enough impact
Verdant Force - works better in a token deck
Guile - imo need more counterspells to make this work
Ashling, the Extinguisher - needs more sources of evasion to become good
Fusion Elemental - it's fun, but just not impactful
Meadowboon - imo, not enough impact
Mournwhelk - not a very good card. Casting cost is too high
Nevermaker - imo, difficult to pull off unless you have many sources of flicker
Slithermuse - imo, difficult to pull off.
Walker of the Grove - imo, only good with many sources of flicker
Nova Chaser - love this card, but imo just too slow. - needs haste to be relevant.
Supreme Exemplar - it's cute, but imo just too slow.
Spine of Ish Sah - in 5 colour, you have access to much better removal.
Conflux - it's painfully expensive for it's effect. Maelstrom Nexus would be more applicable.
Treacherous Terrain - imo, not enough impact
Earthquake - imo, not enough impact
Flame Rift - imo, not enough impact

With the high curve, I'd recommend 40 mana sources unless you are able to add more sources of ramp.

So...there's some ideas for you. I certainly don't mean to stomp on your deck idea. To be honest, one of my first Hordes deck looked very similar to what you currently have posted. There's nothing wrong with that...just that it won't be all that competitive in the average meta. If you're going for 'fun' points, you scored 10/10 imo, cause I love the elemental cycles that are available.

Hope this helps. Enjoy your deckbuilding.
