Also blue has quite a bit of ways to cheat cards into the battlefield, look around I am sure you could find a bunch of unique ways to make up for the lack of mana ramp (i am dealing with this too as I try to make a mono blue deck with expensive cards)

That is a very good card and i am gonna look into sticking that in here somewhere. thank you very much for that... love the alara block, never saw this card haha
oh they are definitely intended, honestly mana isn't an issue. It reliably gets out turn 4 and more then makes up for those first few turns of sitting around by snowballing crazy out of control
I see what you are saying but they add so much flavor and entertainment out of this deck, the fact it's multicolor with tons of mana doublers, on top of the maelstrom archangels putting things out for free, I like them in there. When they come out you will have a blast playing them. So I think for entertainment alone I'll keep them in, also when they do get out they are pretty damn annoying. Giant adephage however...
I am toying with the idea of Asceticism... The fact that the creatures are not my only win condition and when the deck gets rolling it gets rolling incredibly fast regardless of the maelstrom archangels (which more or less open the floodgates of the deck). Maybe take out Obelisk of alara and something else for that?
That's a great recommendation Cook, however as it stands in this iteration turn 4 seems like a long time but considering how fast this deck gets rolling when it hits turn 4 (and reliably) combined with things like spirit of resistance and it doesn't really matter what happens those first turns. However like i said above i take all recommendations seriously and I think Noble Hierarch has a very nice fit in the iteration I suggested above. One where I swap the Blue, Green, and Red, Bringers for the Black, Red, and Green Titans. And add Fist of the Suns and wild pair. Let me know what you think about that?
Fist of the suns wouldn't work as well in this iteration of the deck (with more then half the creatures already costing the 5 mana). However I take all advice seriously and you inspired another iteration of the deck; one where i replace the bringers with the red green and black titans, and throw in fist of the suns and wildpair. let me know what you think of that?
Yea thanks I swapped em out ouro and kael. Everything should be smooth now
The thing about that is prismatic omens turns those panoramas into every land type, and since they have an ability to tap for mana (which the wilds and expanse don't) when i get prismatic omen on the field they become every land effectively adding more mana to my pool/ letting me hard-cast things faster or exile bunches with legacy weapon.
chromatic lantern doesn't work with coalition victory like prismatic omens does. It's a good choice but I like prismatic better for overall utility in this deck.
you realize his hundredth card is his commander in the sideboard... Also, the rules on a card always overrule the rules in the book. yes you can.
