MTG Salvation

Quote from PaddyB »

Hey all!

I've had a Radha, heir to Keld while and I love it, really fun and decently strong. As the new versions of Radha have come out Ive tried converting my deck while some of the lists are cool, Heart of Keld in particular, they weren't really what I was trying to build. But as I spent more time with Radha again I realized shes in need of some tweaking. So I looking for some advice on restructuring and tuning. Here's my list as it is now. I am curious for feedback or card suggestions. Specifically I am considering changing up some of the creatures, maybe adding another one or two in. Sometimes I feel like a get ramped up but then dont have enough creatures to cast.

The premise is of course ramp into good stuff. What Heir to Keld adds that the other versions don't is a huge amount of consistency. Because you can always cast her on T2 you always can hit 4 mana of T3, ideal to drop a spell that can ramp you into a 6-7cc card T4. This is good because it allows you get out and swinging pretty quick but it also means while building you dont include any 2cc ramp spells like signets or stuff like Natures Lore which, while good cards are 1 for 1s. You instead get to fill up on cards like Skyshroud Claim which are 2 for 1s. This means both that you will draw less lands later in the game cause youre pulling more out of your deck but it also means arent drawing a signet later when you need a more powerful card.

Cards I've picked are all about immediate board presence, haste of some kinda of ETB or resilience against removal to lessen the impact of having people just zap your creature youve just spent 6-7 mana casting. You also should be able to go pretty tall, sometimes wide, to help guard against being blanked by a wrath or something.

Combos are of course Kikijiki+Zealous Conscripts, also Sword of Feast and Famine/Bear Umbra/Savagevent maw + Hellkite charger/Aggravated assault is looped combat. I also have Dark Depths + Vesuvan/Thespian state, which is a little vestigial from the last Heart of Keld variant but Hasnt felt too greedy yet? Might be though.

I should probably have the Eldrazi Titans, Blightsteel stuff like that but no one in my group really has them and I kinda dislike them so I havent yet. It also would take a little restructuring curve wise. The way its built now is really more hit the ground running at T4 and then never look back some of the bigger boys you'd need another ramp spell or a mana doubler to be reliably getting them out.

Right now I am really considering these cards but I am not sure what to cut :/

• Ulvenwald Hydra
  
• Bane of Progress
  
• Hellkite Tyrant
  
• Kogla, the Titan Ape
  
• Ilharg, the Raze-Boar
  
• Scourge of the Throne
  
• Endraze Forerunners
  
• Rishkar's expertise
  
• Helm of the Host
  
• Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger

I am leaning towards cutting Scapeshift, its obviously great and can be a huge swing if you have enough lands to Valakut,Dark depths or Field of the Dead off but I've drawn it a couple times now and had it sit in my hand. Maybe Kamahl too? I dunno. I think I need 1-2 more big baddies and maybe try to fit in Helm of the host too? If anyone has other suggestions of card choice either for the creatures or anything else lemme know!
