Quote from TactuzMaybe you could take a look at my Ghave deck?
I really like your version of the deck and I think my deck is similar in many ways.
I focus a bit more on token combos as well as graveyard combos and a little less / different ramp.
A few cards I think you should consider: Prison Term, Oblivion Ring, Stoneforge Mystic (for Skullclamp), Animate Dead, Mana Crypt (if budget allows it) and Aven Mindcensor.
What are your thoughts on those cards or generally on my deck?
As to my feelings on the cards you list, prison term is a card that I had sort of forgotten exists and would be a nice answer to some very annoying generals that have shown up in my meta. I personally don't like Stoneforge Mystic in this deck, but I also don't use skullclamp a whole lot. An animate dead effect is something that I have been thinking about adding for a little while now but I was thinking reanimate. Which do you think would be better? Now, mana crypt is definitely a strong card but if I am ever constrained by mana it is, in an overwhelming majority of the cases, due to a lack of colors instead of amount so in my list I feel like I need to prioritize colored mana production. However, that said any list that is the other way around should consider it but that can be said of almost any list. Aven mindcensor I feel like is kind of dependent on your meta, in mine there is a surprisingly low amount of search so it wouldn't do me a whole lot.
Quote from CreativeStormSome others might have asked, but.. what do you think of Burgeoning?
I personally don't think that burgeoning is that great unless you get in the beginning or can almost always keep your hand full/run a deck centered around lands.
I may have mentioned this before, but there are some cards that I think that it may be time to cut. Fecundity is a card that I have only cast a couple of times since I originally built the deck and I never find myself needing it, so I feel like that's a strong sign that it should go. Woodfall Primus is another, it is a very good card, but it so expensive that I rarely ever play it and the slot might be more useful being given to a different card. What do you guys think?

It is a threat that requires an immediate answer while being somewhat resilient. The mana tax for targeting it, means that your opponent will often spend their whole turn on removing it if they have an answer.
I've actually just switched out the promo foil out for the pack foil.

Of those blue cards, I think Cloudskate is significantly better than the other two. I would cut Æthersnipe, but I wouldn't cube with the Drake either.
Shadowborn Demon seems to have fallen of the radar around here. Do you think it is better or worse than Ob Nixilis Reignited?
