    And how many dual lands did SoM have? 5. Zendikar? 5. Man-lands don't really count as they etb tapped.

    If we're going back to Zendikar, and we return to landfall, they will want fetches. And they would need to put the fetches in the same set so that they are available the entire time the landfall mechanic is legal.

    Now, play along with me. Aside from Ravnica, how often do we see an entire cycle of 10 dual lands in a single block? Take your time. Remember, they have to have the potential at least to etb untapped.


    Temples EtB tapped, and they're still duals. :p
    Also, Sam Stoddard has said they are now going to complete cycles of all ten color pair duals in block.

    ZEN fetches in 3rd set. Allied painlands in M16 could be likely. That would help keep the color balance in Standard.

    All the cards are overcosted, unplayable jank.

    Looks like the thread title didn't need editing, after all.

    NyxBorn Shieldmate turns anything into a blocker. Invest in some Hero's Downfall. And, of course, Banishing Light. I don't use the Ram, because I have nothing that triggers from life gain.

    Basically what you want to do is run defensive and disruptive creatures, removal, and slowly bleed/drain the opponent to death.

    If you're on a budget, I would suggest picking up a JOU Constellation intro deck and adding to what you already have.

    Here is a link to my list to help a bit: http://deckstats.net/deck-4755330-18a0bb1d059b2cd1b133cb763f49c76c.html

    As you can see, you already have many copies of the cards I run. I also only have been using Theros block and M15. The deck costs $130 American dollars, with Sideboard flexible depending on meta. Less for you.

    Good luck. I have wrecked FNMs and took 34th in a 500 PTQ. Its a smart player deck.

    I ain't afraid of cuss words.
    Didn't even know we had an option to show them.
    I just try to keep my language at a PG-13 level.

    EDIT: I have the thing check, but see no cussing. Frown

    Get an Athreos out ASAP and laugh at Back to Nature. :p

    You're right though, this deck has many avenues of play. That's why its my favorite archetype currently. It definitely takes some brains to sequence plays and block properly.

    So, let's say I have one guy on the board, bestowed another on it. My next turn, during my upkeep, opponent plays Devour Flesh.

    Am I able to attack with the un-aura'd guy who now came into play?

    Uh read the post again, there are 2 deck lists and the only time Spiteful Returned is mention is where someone played against a variant of Death and Taxes. Also note that spiteful returned wasn't played for it's bestow cost as the point of the deck is to throw down enchantment creatures and swing. If they die, bring them back with Atheros. The only two creatures you don't want dead are Grim Guardian and Underworld Coinsmith.
    Bestow failed. It was a mechanic to make auras awesome and it sucked. I don't know anyone running a casual bestow deck as it is very easy for me to just cast Back to Nature or Patrician's Scorn. I have a feeling Death and Taxes doesn't see much play since M15


    And they are in an ESTABLISHED deck. So shooting your mouth off is not correct.

    EDIT: Indulgent Tormentor.

    Bestow turned out horribly, what are you talking about? There was hardly a single playable bestow creature other than boon satyr which didn't see play for bestow. This is like saying scavenge was a successful mechanic. Seriously you couldn't have picked a more terrible example. At least monstrous turned out playable it's haters.

    Point is those hating on this for any format other than limited are absolutely right.


    Spiteful Returned, Herald of Torment, and Nyxborn Shieldmate.


    Spiteful wasn't played for bestow nor was it in a very good deck. Same with herald. And shield mate just isn't played, you're really stretchin it there. It's a terrible mechanic. The benefits don't out weigh the costs. That's all there is to it.




    No way! Then why is in Established?

    Really? Maybe its just me then. I throw a set in all my triple color decks.

    I remember people crapping on Bestow when it was previewed. "Costs too much," they cried. Turned out pretty well. As do most mechanics. Don't judge a mechanic by a single card.

    As for the tri-lands, well, Modern will like them!
