I feel for Garrens build, HenWen has a good point about flameshadow conjuring. It fits well into True_Believer's list because of his creatures with the etbs. However Garren has far less and I think dropping them along with the bloodlust for the early removal cards are going to GREATLY help raise the chances you go renowned, thus increasing your draw potential while adding some options of removing key threats, something the conjuring does not.

I could be wrong as I haven't tested either lists.

Uh are you missing 2 cards? I am guessing maybe lands?

LAND.DEC

This deck here is my attempt at outside of the box thinking. What is the biggest weakness to Animist's Awakening? Well, the chance to actually hit lands (in a normal deck that is) is quite low... about 33% in the average deck and it gets worse as the game goes on and you have thinned your deck. This deck will be a very land heavy deck with a few staller spells and main problem I couldn't think of (without compromising the heavy land theme) is lack of draw. Land search is kind of pseudo draw however, so maybe not so bad. I did consider the dragon that makes you dump your hand and then draw an extra card every turn but since deck is very creature light I figured my opponents would just hold onto removal and kill him.

4xFog

4 MANA
4xMwonvuli Acid Moss (may seem like a weird inclusion but i think setting oppenent to turn 3 while im at turn 5 is important and helps with spell mastery.

Thank you! Increased one Reclamation Sage and one Ravaging Blaze.

On theory this deck rocks! I can't wait to test it.

Ooops... It seems I have to wait. Grinding...

I took it for a spin for one game (only missing nissa and one embermaw. It ran real well though. It looks really promising.

I was looking at Embermaw Hellion when first building the deck but ended up cutting him due to a lack of Red sources in the deck. Of course later on more red found it's way in so it might be worth reconsidering his inclusion. Likewise with the Infectious Bloodlust - something I'd want to try out but would be willing to cut should they under perform. Most likely for either Fiery Impulse or Twin Bolt as you had suggested.

Flameshadow Conjuring is something I will be sticking with for a least the time being. It's a fault of my playstyle - I tend to be overly conservative when playing (something that always hurt my aggro decks) and Conjuring gives me a perfect excuse to just go wild a throw things without a care. True it's a little win-more but I still think it's a addition that can carry it's weight.

@2bestest

You are making me jealous!

Say the result when you managed to put Evolutionary Leap and Flameshadow Conjuring at the same time. Even Elvish Visionary will give you plenty of cards.

I fear I created a monster!

Didn't have that luxury yet but I do like the deck a lot. My favorite atm, but I haven't experimented much yet and am still trying to grind out several cards so I am running my white aggro atm.. Until I have the needed cards to rdw. I think that's probably the best aggro option. (As it probably should be)

You cannot make this, as there is a hard cap of 30 on how many lands you can put in a deck.

Seriously?

Yes.

Archernick was going for the ramp based achievement, where it would seriously behoov you to have a 50+ land deck . The game refused to let him have more than 30, even though it says it absolutely nowhere EVEN WHEN THAT IS PREVENTING YOU FROM MAKING A DECK. The game will just refuse to accept it.

Not such a bad thing anyway.
Just throw out 6 forests to add 3x Ravaging Blaze and 3x Fiery Impulse or Twin Bolt to deal with early aggression and alt. wincon.
IDK what it is about Nissa. She doesn't really look like she's worth it. Might be better to swap her out for some bombs.

Summary: Ramp deck with land synergies. We're trying to go from 3 CMC -> 5 CMC as soon as possible. The strongest aspect of this deck is that it attacks from multiple angles (Zendikar's Roil + Animist's Awakening, Gaea's Revenge or Zendikar Incarnate + Flameshadow Conjuring, Outland Colossus + Rogue's Passage, Primal Bellow + Land token, or Nissa, Vastwood Seer + 7 lands). It's got a very reliable manabase with no real restrictions on lands which allows us to play a singleton copy of Rogue's Passage for massive power in the late game against control. Speaking of control we are not very susceptible to board wipes as Outland Colossus and Gaea's Revenge both have 5 toughness and Nissa's ultimate can create 6/6 tokens.

The biggest downside here is that there is little in the way of interaction with the opponent in the early game. For this reason, we are quite slow, falling more into the midrange side of the spectrum with a bad mana curve. As such, it's important to use smart mulligan decisions. For example, do not keep any hand which contains: 0 land, 1 land, 6 land, or 7 land. Do not keep a hand without (at least) a turn 3 play. Also, keep hand any that has 2-5 lands and preferably something to do on turn 2. Since there are few early game spells that matter they will be critical for ensuring you do not die before you can play your big spells later on in the game.

I would drop the Bellower and prolly something else for 2x red hellion.
It's not that great when the only thing you can get is a Gatecreeper Vine.

Oh yes, your absolutely right. I soon as I saw 3 converted mana cost I thought it could search for Nissa.

*It has been taken out in favor of Zendikar Incarnate

I was debating on how to build a land focused deck. I am liking your list Gemini, gonna be giving it some play time!

The 30-land decks could use some card draw imo.

I don't see how you can keep up with your opponent if you burn their threats 1 for 1 but draw way more land. When you finally arrive at 7+ mana, you're probably topdecking and drawing any creature would be more beneficial than one of the excess lands for Zendikar's Roil or Molten Vortex. These two don't work well together anyway - one wants you to play the land, the other requires you to discard it.

It's an interesting idea, but it would need more actual ramp to work, not just 30 lands.

I'm starting to fantasize about a deck with 4x Mwonvuli Acid-Moss and 3x Into the Maws of Hell.
Yeah, it'll be terrible, but I really feel like doing it.

It's a shame there's no reliable T1/T2 ramp (actually, the Acid-Moss is probably the reason why they didn't include one in this iteration).
