Yes, I understand the points you have made. I want to put in something that untaps my lands. The torpor orb effects sometimes hurts me but I have tried to take out most of the ETB effects. I think I have like 5 creatures that ETB. I completely shutdown one guy where everytime I play a torpor orb effect he just scoops as soon as I drop it. The Wanderer I have a lot of burn in my meta so that will stay. Karn, the Great Creator probably should be taken out. Just I packed him and wanted to try him out to see if it would work. Need to get a hold of an Evolution Sage.
Should also say I wanted mostly creature based. I know I could also do planeswalkers but creature based strategies seemed slightly better
- Arcane Lighthouse: See your point here.
- Temple of the False God: Usually doesn't matter to me
- Aerial Responder: with Odric, Lunarch Marshal it gives all my guys flying, vigilance, and lifelink. could be better
- Fleecemane Lion: having something with indestructible is nice. could cut but need something.
- Kitchen Finks: could replace with knight of autumn
- Loxodon Smiter: see finks
- Qasali Pridemage: Probably could be something else mostly in here for the pay and sac for enchantment/artifact
- Wall of Blossoms/Wall of Omens: Early game blocker plus card draw. Could replace them with some hatebears
- Hedron Archive: Yup easily replaced
- Always Watching: Giving everything vigilance so I can attack and block. Also falls under sun titan.
- Bastion Protector: have to see if my lgs has it.
- creature tutors: Yup i was thinking Eladamri's Call or something along those lines. Just don't know what to cut.
- Gotta alot of exile. Ever since I started running Sentinel Totem everybody else in my meta has started to run it.
My aim of the deck is to protect myself and my other creatures. Build up an army and swing If I get locked from attacking, I win with my alt win con of Aetherflux Reservoir. My budget is $15 for a single card.
In my play testing I needed something with slightly more toughness. Sweltering Suns just wrecks when I had Gifted Aetherborn in it. I also thought about dropping the Sanctum Seekers for another copy of Glorybringer and something else. Really don't have an idea of what else to put in there.
I want to replace Overwhelming Stampede with Finale of Devastation. I also want to replace Mind Stone with Lightning Greaves or Mask of Avacyn, whichever I can get my hands on.
