Yay! It's my turn to host GMAD again! Here's a wacky little card that I think you'll like.
1. Follow the official GMAD rules.
2. Follow all forum rules.
3. Legacy ban list.
4. Explain your card choices and remember to check that the list in your post is up to date.
5. For this one, I'm not really thinking of a budget; just don't get too crazy!
I'll start with three Wild Evocation; let me know if y'all think we should add the fourth.
Any Eldrazi will do, but our opponent may be dropping some great stuff too - our "vindicate" and "annihilate" creature may be enough to win by itself!!
Adding four Blightning; an opponent with no cards in hand at the start of their turn can't take advantage of Wild Evocation. (And dealing damage is never a bad thing.)
Yes, now we're at four colors, but we have only one card of each color, so there's lots of time to decide which one(s) to stick with.
Also, going to vote against Blightning for right now. Doesn't seem like this deck should go three colors this early.
Just to be clear -- are you voting out Blightning because you think green and blue are better support colors than black for this deck, or because green and blue have dibs because cards with those colors were posted first (even though there aren't any more cards of those colors in the deck as yet)?

You know, I didn't even think of Paradox Haze when I posted that. But, I feel like the Haze has better synergy than Blightning anyway, so my vote stands.
we don't want fauna shaman to be our random target from WE, so i'm voting it out. plus i think we should simplify to 2 colors. 3 colors are only really applicable when the main card has them or something to that effect.
Im adding 2 Phage's. She is being cast from the hand and one swing can win us the game. I like phage in here, because its minorly a pet card, but we also can get around her drawback easily.
if the only creatures we have in the deck are "big boys", then we dont' need to filter anything with shaman. i say this deck needs pyroclasm, slagstorm, and the like to keep the field clear while we ramp up to our W.E.
then get rid of their creatures with doom blade, go for the throat and the like. browbeat to get cards in hand OR deal damage, either way, it's a great draw card for red. or even wheel of fortune. something to get our cards in our hands without having to wade through weenie creatures.
i would hate to see this 6 drop, once a turn effect get wasted on a silly little creature in our hands.
Seething song is the wrong kind of ramp here. If it's one of the spells we reveal with Wild Evocation then we've really wasted our time trying to ramp into it. I think signets and other mana rocks are at least half decent because they develop board presence and we can use the mana outside of our upkeep if that's what we reveal to wild evocation. Voting against seething song.
All I can think of is coalition relic which can get us a turn 4 wild evocation if we hit all our land-drops. Otherwise there's mind stone which is slower to ramp but can draw a card which is okay if that's what we get off of wild evocation.
To be fair though, if we're trying to ramp here, you might as well just go back into green....
3- Zombie Infestation- we need a way to control what cards are in our hands. The ability to discard lands and other chump spells is awesome. It also makes blockers since we are obv midrange.
Lets try 4 Desperate Ravings. The relic lets us flash it back and it is a nice draw spell which should improve the hand. If the random discard happens to hit an Eldrazi, we get to shuffle back all the goodies. Not quite sure if that is good or not.
Adding four copies of Terminate. It's an amazing removal card and we're in the right colors for it.
Voting to cut one Phage the Untouchable. She's a good card, but if we need her we should be able to tutor for her since we're running black.
Voting to cut one Paradox Haze. Even with a modicum of card draw, once the deck gets going we're likely to start the turn with only one card in hand at best.
If we're keeping blue, I'd recommend Intuition. It's the perfect tutor for this deck: play it during our opponent's end phase and pull three Eldrazi. One goes into our hand to be Wild Evoked at the start of our turn; the other two get reshuffled into our library along with the rest of our graveyard.
Blue would also suggest better card draw options than Desperate Ravings.
Voting to cut the boring drazi from the deck. there are way cooler creatures we could be running, and ones that do something when they come in. and the ones i'm thinking of we can actually hard cast as well.

It turns a card we wouldnt want to reveal and allows us to tutor (to hand), say an Ulamog. it basically is acting as a filter in a way.

black red can be a good color combo here, and so can't Red Blue, so i'll hold off my vote against blightning for now.

As to ramp, do we want to run Braid of Fire?
adding 4 Kokusho, The Evening Star
suggestions R/B:
bogardan hellkite
hypnox
avatar of slaughter
balefire dragon
Brimstone Dragon
Bringer of the black dawn
Butcher Orgg - amazing art too!
also, remember that the Wild Evocation also casts spells, so we can have some big spells as well.
