MTG Salvation

Added a Card Selection section.

Another two changes:

In Natural Affinity, out Seedborn Muse - There really weren't a whole lot of good things to untap or do with the Muse's ability in this deck. Natural Affinity provides some really interesting situations.

In Caller of the Claw, out Trading Post - Trading Post was okay, but it never did enough in this deck. Caller might be pretty situational with the above card, but he's at least a body with flash.

Had my first Natural Affinity with Terminus today. It worked out well since I was holding five lands. Also, I learned the hard way multiple times that this deck is way too slow for three player games and that if it gets rushed by an aggro deck that it'll fold 90% of the time. Most reactions by other players have still been positive, but there have been a few negative reactions (online) to it, especially cards like Ritual of Subdual, Hall of Gemstone, and Freyalise's Winds. I'd make videos for this deck, but they'd be way too long since I don't think it's ever won a game in under 30 minutes. Still looking for any suggestions, especially wincons that don't involve combat damage or literal "I win" cards like Helix Pinnacle.

Updated with a video.

I really love this deck. It's so strange that I need to build it in RL. Do you think doing other videos? I would love seeing moar.

Thanks! I'll take a look through some older games and see if any of them would make good videos.

I'm a little late to this party, but as usual I'm super impressed with your creativity. I'll be building this this weekend. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful creation with us again. As an aside I was just updating tariel last night.

Haha, thanks! I don't think it's quite as polished as Tariel (and probably doesn't win as often) but it's getting there. It's getting to the point where removing cards is harder and I'm generally satisfied with the deck. Finding new things is tough though. I've got a few changes I'll be making to Tariel in a bit, although I'll probably post them when I put up another video for it. Speaking of which, I just recorded another Dosan video so it should be up within a day or so.

Updated with a second video in the first post. It's a bit long.

No Tranquility? Also sweet deck - gonna try it out

Thanks! Hm, instead of Tranquility, I have been considering Tranquil Grove. I don't really have anything to protect my own enchantments from it though. I might have to play-test it later. It's painful to play MTGO right now because of the server issues they're having that cause lag ever since the latest update.

What about Calming Verse? In this way you can protect you own enchantments.

Hm, that could be good. The card to replace would probably be Spring Cleaning. While Calming Verse is a sorcery and costs a bit more, it will always get the job done unlike Cleaning. Also, Dosan doesn't mind sorceries or tapping out anyway quite as much. While Tranquil Grove is repeatable, I wonder if it would draw more hate towards me than I need from that kind of card. There are other cards in the deck that do that already well enough. Not sure the benefit of keeping enchantments at bay is worth it. Maybe it is. I'll play around with Calming Verse and see how it does.

Just a small change. In: Calming Verse, Out: Spring Cleaning. For the reasons above. Haven't been able to do many videos lately because of work and even when I do win, it has to be one where the game wasn't over an hour.

I'd like to get some suggestion on some more graveyard hate. Scavenging Ooze is nice, but I feel one more should be good (or possibly replace it). Ground Seal is nice that it replaces itself, but I'd rather just remove the cards from the graveyard completely. Suggestions?

Also, had an interesting play today. Iroas, God of Victory was the only one left, but he had a nice sized army and I had jack. I had Seer's Sundial out. I drew and played a land, then paid the 2 to draw a card. I drew Holistic Wisdom and played it for 3. Then I used the ability to get rid of a creature to bring back Solemn Simulacrum to hand. Then I played it for 4 and search for the land. I then paid 2 again for Sundial's ability and drew...Constant Mists with exactly two mana left open! That was probably the luckiest draw I've ever had.

Grave hate in green is kind of hard outside of the scavenging ooze. You could try loaming shaman which is what I run in my yeva deck. Nightsoil is sort of ok, but only hits creatures. You can also run the usual artifact suspects like relic of progenitus or tormod's crypt. Primal command also does while doing other things sometimes.

Seedtime belongs in this deck!

Maybe Recycle as well?
