2-0, split the finals.
First round, I played against a decent UR human deck. He durdled around a bit, and I swept him the first game. Game two, he went turn one Stonewright, turn three Fervant Cathar, but then I went Undead Executioner into Demonic Rising into Bloodflow Connoisseur and just won.
Second round was a white green aggro deck. He swept me game one with a perfect curve out, and a solid draw. Second game he mulled to four, and I won off of Demonic Rising. Game three we both durdled and Demonic Rising did it's thing.
Personally, I like snakeform over leafdrake roost as Snakeform is removal + can trip often in a color combo that struggles in that dept. Leafdrake roost is just another curve topper//ramp target, two things that are plentiful in UG.
Also, there are so many options in WG more exciting than Wilt Leaf Cavaliers. Is Kitchen Finks too expensive? That might be the best WG card overall. After that, Enlisted Wurm might be better.
Other than the multicolor, the list seems nice though. Utopia Sprawl vs. Explore I'd tend to go for explore but I understand the desire for the t1 accelerator, just be prepared to be blown out by the red player's Pillage or Avalanche Riders.
I could go on about Karoo's but why, that's kind of a big deal. Also the whole cylce vs. no cycle thing, considering how Boros Garrison is pretty much worse than the rest of the karoos, Rakdos Carnarium is pretty miserable as well.
Not really sure how I forgot about the Finks. Definitely going in.
I havn't had a chance to test much, but I'll keep an eye on Hearthfire Hobgoblin, I may end up switching it out for something.
Explore over the Utopia Sprawl also seems good considering I'm running a few LD cards.
And on the UG spot, I really don't like Snakeform, but luckily Planechase solves my problem for me :). (Shardless Agent)
So the first batch of changes will look like this:
1 360 Peasant Cube
1 Standard Deck (Delver)
1 Legacy Deck (Combo Elves)
1 Monster Binder w/ tradable rares/c+u/foils
1 Big Binder with playsets of commons and uncommons to build decks with (sorted by standard legality, color)
1 5000 count box with assorted lands and AVR commons and uncommons
I also have various EDH decks that come and go. I sleeve competitive decks in KMC Matte Black Sleeves, and the Cube/EDH decks in Pink Dragonshields
If I could sell everything except for my Standard deck and cube, I would do it in a second.
Since I don't really play casually (except for cube) I don't really see the need for a "collection".

What does everyone think about: Reckless Charge --> Searing Spear?
And also, any ideas for what to cut for Murder?
My name on modo is csoda, I recently got back into drafting online with ISD, and have been doing a fair bit of AVR.
That seems like a solid change, thanks.
Not really sure how I forgot about the Finks. Definitely going in.
I havn't had a chance to test much, but I'll keep an eye on Hearthfire Hobgoblin, I may end up switching it out for something.
Explore over the Utopia Sprawl also seems good considering I'm running a few LD cards.
And on the UG spot, I really don't like Snakeform, but luckily Planechase solves my problem for me :). (Shardless Agent)
So the first batch of changes will look like this:
Out ---> In
Ghost Quarter ---> Mishra's Factory
Wilt Leaf Cavaliers ---> Kitchen Finks
Utopia Sprawl ---> Explore
Leafdrake Roost ---> Shardless Agent
1 360 Peasant Cube
1 Standard Deck (Delver)
1 Legacy Deck (Combo Elves)
1 Monster Binder w/ tradable rares/c+u/foils
1 Big Binder with playsets of commons and uncommons to build decks with (sorted by standard legality, color)
1 5000 count box with assorted lands and AVR commons and uncommons
I also have various EDH decks that come and go. I sleeve competitive decks in KMC Matte Black Sleeves, and the Cube/EDH decks in Pink Dragonshields
If I could sell everything except for my Standard deck and cube, I would do it in a second.
Since I don't really play casually (except for cube) I don't really see the need for a "collection".
