Nice! And I guess for the other games there was always Aetherling or World Eater? And how did you drop it with Garruk, it's only green isn't it? Which you still would have had the mana to play him at 9 available, just not with garruk in the same turn.

Manage to get the colossus out very much?
I would suggest Ethereal Armor, helps buff the buffed even buffier! One or two Elite Arcanist would help to keep a steady supply of instants. Holy Mantle plus Fabled Hero equals unblockable 5/5 for 10 damage as early as the fourth turn. Ordeal of Thassa for draw power, and Ordeal of Heliod for life gain.
Honestly, if i switched the god cards out, it would be even cheaper!
Sideboarded the Curse of the swine, but i found that i like stymied hopes, since it can counter if they tap out, cause them to lose a mana if they are trying to combo something, and i get to scry which i find helps to cycle the deck out for cards that i need.
Those are there because I'm worried that when i do play the deck, it will burn out too fast, and that I will end up top decking too much, but i could be wrong. They are there in case I need to adjust. It was fun! I picked blue in the end, and i got in ninth place, and the top 8 get prizes, Bah! I was the highest placed out of all of us that went.
Yes it does! Also, thanks again for all the advice. I can't wait till the next couple weeks and i can actually build this deck and see if it will even work how I envision it!
I think I agree on the annul, but then i remember that i ended up using it in almost every match i played at the prerelease. I switched it out for Cyclonic rift, since i think it can mess up the enemy board rather nicely, and really slows down the other players game. What do you think?
Hmn...I don't think I really need a 3 mana 1/2 that taps for one mana of any color. I already have 4 sylvan caryatids, which do the same, but with defender and hexproof, and for one mana less to cast. It can't replace the one drops, and Karametra's Acolyte taps for multiple mana, not just one.
Yeah, but there is so much of it produceing mana, plus the extra casting turns with Prophet, I figured I would run with it, see what happens.
Thus, to the sideboard it goes, so that i can use it when most needed!
Huh, never seen that card before.... So Aetherling, Colossus, and World Eater would be my win conditions. And why have i not thought to put a couple cyclonic rifts in here?
Not sure where i would place it in the deck, but it would be very useful! Sideboarded it is! That way if i have counter problems, i can throw it in.
Ok, stuck with 2 world eaters, and i can use them to kill off flyers if i need too, while also buffing them up. Nylea would be decent, but i would prefer to have that mana open for counters, that way i could spend 3 mana and save all my creatures, instead of 4 per creature. As fast as i will be laying them down, i will need to be able to protect them all at once. I am thinking of throwing her bow in here though, but i am kinda on the fence about it. As to Aetherling, gosh that is a great card, but i don't really know how i would fit it in this deck....
Ooooo, illusionist's bracers would keep it standard, but the only creatures i could use it on would be the colossus and world eater, and while amazeing, it would slow down the deck. I will try to playtest it with them later, but for now I will leave it as a potential.
But he will help me draw into him, or cycle the top five of my deck until i can get to him. Also, his ultimate would let me pull it out for any creature i cast, so i figured one wouldn't be all that bad.
Wow...how did i forget plasm capture! Bah! Thats a definite in. That will also add to the counter spells, that goes towards that part of the suggestion. Hmn...arbor and world eater wouldn't actualy be that bad...I think i will find a place for them, 2 of each should do fine. I think i might stay away from nylea, since it will only be there for the board wipes, and that is a prime target for my counter spells. Great advice! Also, i like voyaging satyr, for the thought of useing it on Nykthos, or useing it to help if i need mana of a cetain color, but i am only pulling one or two of them, so i can use the satyr to tap, untap, and tap again, giveing me two of that color needed. Also...multiple shrine uses, what can i say....
I think i might put one garruk in, just because it does help me search out the prophets/collossus' in the deck, and they are both major pieces of this deck. And if i ever got him to his ultimate, i could pull out ALL the collossus' for the price of a mana ramp creature!
My only hesitance with it is that, A. I have to have one of the 6 cards that can produce a red mana, and B. It only gives me the mana once. While a nice burst to push out the colossus, I want to be able to cast it on there turn, then monstrosity on my turn, swing and laugh all day, countering anything that comes it's way. TAKE THAT DOOM BLADE...sorry, had to get that out....
Hostility would be a great card. It gives you more creature drops, which with purphoros basically doubles the damage you are dealing, plus giveing you more creatures to swing with! It's a win-win card when paired with the Red God.
