I think Undergrowth Scavenger is the easy choice here. I'd be up for the Haven too though.

Are we really going to to run 2 verdant haven and a nissa's expedition? But we don't have e scavenger deck either, even if we are in the colors.

I think I just take the pillar of light here. We could easily splash black and white. I would want another good white card though.

Verdant Haven

We have a ton of sixes and sevens. Hopefully we will be able to lower our curve in pack three, but right now, we don't really need that Pillar, and hating it just won't work, since it's a common. We may want to play two Havens over the Expedition.

Assistant, Moss Beast is a far more relevant threat than scavenger, Mender, Fountain.

Not really. We need to prioritize wayfinders, and scavenger profits from them, along with our gy shenanigans.

Moss Beast is just not goo at all. It's not even a 23rd card.

Hmmm... I don't think moss-beast is that bad. It's overcosted but 4/5 is a house in this format.

We have 10 solid creatures + 2 shaman of spring and necromancer's assistant. Our removal is pretty weak and we don't have any wayfinders. OK, we can probably get 1 pack 3 but 2 seems very optimistic. I don't think we have much in the way of GY shenanigans at all...

That being said - if pack 3 breaks that way it will be nice to have the scavenger. But I would probably cut it if we don't get any enablers.

I think that's a fine way to think about things. I'd rather spec on the scavenger than main deck another 6-drop. There are two very, very fast decks in this format. We don't need a crapton of 6-drops.

What this deck really needs is 3 1/1 deathtouchers. Or even black cat

but even if we hit a Satyr before it, Scavenger is pretty scrawny on-curve. it's a late card too.

I'm voting Mossbeast, it's not speculating on things we don't have yet, and we already have three acceleration pieces.

:duel:
