I agree with the honourable delegate of Japan.

Who here likes awakened lands and board clears? cause I do.

Currently something like 5-0 with this, I don't normally share that kind of stat but even I'm not sure how this deck wins

Suppose you forgot 2 Inspiration?

Already lost with it. Ran into Jund control forced to use my ulamog on his ob nixilis+ ulamog; got destroyed by endless greenwarden, if I edict it, he would summons my ulamog which got fleshbagged. Never drew a counterspell or second edict to stop the cycle. Each manland just go removed, disciple got bagged. Quite the matchup. That's the thing about this combination. It's reactive and uses specific tools to eventually culminate into powerfull plays. Meanwhile the green decks can just make menacing plays without losing a scrap of power later on.Green Uber alles again. Not saying my mill version is better, but it does establish pressure through tutelage, so that you don't have to WIN after controlling.

why would I run inspiration when coastal discovery is a card >:)

if you're facing more big stuff then aggro -2 boiling earth +2 inspiration/coastal discovery (whichever you prefer)

tragic arrogance does not kill awakened lands, neither does planar outburst (obviously)
I feel that awaken is currently the most underrated mechanic out of the BFZ DLC, and so I expect much success from Bab's build, verses anything not RDW.

Fleshbag, Reprisal, Flare, Gideon's reproach, Cruel revival, firecraft, Pulse after you blew up their Myr, Edict, Languish.... all run a number on it though. Just saying.

Awaken is best on Lumbering falls, it's even Ulamog proof. Geg's Bant awaken deck exploits that, but his deck is weaker to heavy aggro than this on average I think.

Oh for those that didn't realize :

If you have gideon and jace flipped; cast tragic arrogance after you + Gideon, and you get to keep both. OP !

honestly... was considering cutting 2 mountains for lumbering falls just cause and 2 islands for plains

How you gonna pay for the hexproof cost without tapping it ?

oh right costs green... fair point

Did you test this? If it worked like you said, then I assume the card is glitched.
Tragic Arrogance sacrifices, not destroys...

EDIT: Oh, nvm, just realized that you are likely talking about +1 Gideon with no other creatures you want to save.

you target gideon as the creature you keep and jace as the walker you keep, perfectly in accordance with the rules

being stomped by land must suck

Yeah, okay... so if you don't feel like playing Bant: http://forum.nogoblinsallowed.com/viewtopic.php?p=397632#p397632...

Yeah, so this is the probably weaker than The Bant AggroControl deck. It's more aggressive, but it's also less control. I think it will work just as well, but I think I still prefer Bant. Anyway, let me know if you give it a try, and if so how it goes.

Playing Notes: Like all aggro control decks, if you can't get two power out by t2, you need to mulligan that hand.

I got bored of control and ramp decks and since I can't stand aggro I drafted this. So far have been having good results with it but I feel like there's still a thing or 2 to change.

Babs, nice profile pic.
Have you tested Roil Spout in your build before?

I actually did at one point, btw this deck has been changed a few times and is currently sitting in the Esper thread

I'm thinking that there should be an Eldrazi build in these colors that finishes with the midrange drops, but I'm having trouble brewing it.
Also, I've been having alot of success with this deck against everything sans mossdogs (for obvious reasons). I'd call it Jeskai (Green) because I splashed some green for Lumbering Falls (fell in love with this from my "Mono Greendrazi" deck) and Skyrider since we don't have Mantis Rider and that lead me to throw in Nissa and Woodland, but besides those it plays as close to the Jeskai deck I have in standard as possible, given our current pool. Also, real excited to hear that the next 2 sets are going to come out simultaneously, even if this does mean that we'll get them a bit later than we'd like, since the meta will be even more nebulous. Variance ftw!

Deck runs surprisingly smoothly, until you see a certain 4 CMC Sorcery that is annoying as hell.
The main thing that I think might need improvement is the land ratio; I think I might need a little less of some colors and more of others, right now it's balanced off of number of each color's spells, not off of when in the game I'd like to cast each spell.

Been testing this one out for a while. It's pretty fun and it can hang pretty well, although it has fewer ways than top tier decks to mitigate inconsistency. Still, if you can generate even a little bit of pressure early, you can force the opponent into suboptimal plays, and prowess triggers really screw with their clock and combat math. Soft to moss. What isn't?

Suggestions welcome.

I do hope it's less consistant than your Sultai deck ;-))))

It's less consistently terrible, for sure. Let us never mention that again.
