I love the card, but it's a bad late-game topdeck unless you're fairly flooded, and it's not good if you are trying to curve out early. A very deep lands-matter theme might want it, but it feels situational.
The ping being on 2 seems very relevant for slowing down opposing dorks etc. Plus, it has silly synergies with all sorts of lands. Definitely running this, just need to find a cut.
White aggro doesn't need another card that craps on it, and in other matchups it's literally Noxious Groodion, which is terribly unexciting. This has the Liliana, Dreadhorde General problem of being either backbreaking or incredibly mediocre.
I'm keeping Kefnet because it's a "Baneslayer," and most of blue's creatures are "Mulldrifters." Having that kind of threat diversity is important. Gonna drop the Twin package.
The color loss is really significant. This deck wants to be casting as many spells as it can, and colorless mana is not useful when you're trying to pay ~1GGUU every turn. Colorless mana rocks are included since they make turn 2 Ezuri more reasonable, and Ancient Tomb doesn't cost a card to accelerate for Ezuri. In terms of casting other spells, though, those cards are clearly lacking. I've even thought about cutting Ancient Tomb due to its awkwardness.
I replaced Beleren with her. No one has played Beleren for a while, and with how good/prevalent aggro is in my cube, being able to dig 4 for an answer is better than 3-mana sorcery-speed cycled Renewed Faith.
Sarkhan, the Loveless 3RR
Legendary Planeswalker - Sarkhan
Whenever a creature attack you or a planeswalker you control, each Dragon you control deals 1 damage to that creature.
[+1]: Until end of turn, each planeswalker you control becomes a 4/4 red Dragon creature and gains flying.
[-3]: Create a 4/4 red Dragon creature token with flying.
5
Better or worse than Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker? The loss of indestructible/haste on the +1 hurts. Thought it was better but then saw no haste so :/
God-Eternal Oketra 3WW
Legendary Creature - Zombie God
Double strike
Whenever you cast a creature spell, create a 4/4 black Zombie Warrior creature token with vigilance.
When God-Eternal Oketra dies or is put into exile from the battlefield, you may put it into its owner's library third from the top.
3/6
God-Eternal Oketra 3WW
Legendary Creature - Zombie God
Double strike
Whenever you cast a creature spell, create a 4/4 white Zombie Warrior creature token with vigilance.
When God-Eternal Oketra dies or is put into exile from the battlefield, you may put it into its owner's library third from the top.
3/6
We don't need a white 5 and this fails the Vindicate test so I personally won't be adding it, but it has the potential to take over games very quickly.
catmaster0: Coiling Oracle is better than either Wall of Blossoms or Fblthp, and even that isn't quite good enough for my build anymore. I don't think any of them do enough for you either; there are better ways to gum up the board and provide card advantage. I need my card advantage to be repeatable, hence why unexciting Cold-Eyed Selkie has survived as many cuts as it has.
Fire and Ice
Feast and Famine
Light and Shadow
Body and Mind
Sinew and Steel
War and Peace
Truth and Justice
Also, Force of Negation and Deep Forest Hermit are likely making it in.
Liliana's Triumph (over Diabolic Edict - strict upgrade)
God-Eternal Kefnet (over Deprive - only tempo decks played Deprive, and not even all of them wanted it)
Ilharg, the Raze-Boar (over Neheb, the Eternal - a creature I would still recommend if you are heavily supporting Wildfire, but Ilharg is better)
Domri, Anarch of Bolas (over Tattermunge Maniac - there are enough aggro 1-drops in those colors)
God-Eternal Bontu (over Raven's Crime - drafted reanimator a couple weeks ago and Raven's Crime was unnecessary)
Blast Zone (over All is Dust - no one played All is Dust)
Testing:
Finale of Devastation (over Den Protector - a perennial late pick and underperformer)
Vivien's Arkbow (over Birthing Pod - people draft this and can never make it work)
Saheeli, Sublime Artificer (over Ral Zarek - Ral has only done one awesome thing in all the years I've cubed with him)
