Deck discussion for Titan ramp

Awesome. Let me just say that straight up, a deck like this is probably one of the most fun decks you will play. I have a UG build that I have constantly been building and adjusting for a few months now. At this point, I think I have a near perfect build (for my tastes) but I have learned one major thing about it... It is more than capable of beating any deck EXCEPT the red decks (a.k.a. Boros, Kuldotha Red, RDW, and sometimes even Vampires).The point is, your sideboard either needs to be filled with Red Deck hate, or you need to pray that is not the deck you play. Also, Inkmoth Nexus seems pretty terrilbe in this deck honestly... It really doesn't seem to serve much purpose.

I have found that for UG, diversifying your threats can be really important, as well as including enough. The BEST bomb is actually often not the Titan but the Avenger in this deck. You don't usually need the extra land so much and are not going for the Valakut kill anyways. Avenger drops and they have at most, 2 turns to answer it or you win. Garruk is also amazing on all fronts. He fights planeswalkers, blocks in a pinch, and ramps like crazy. He's probably almost better than Jace. I have very little testing with Genesis Wave, but in most cases I have bothered, it seems like it's overkill and a Frost Titan or Avenger would be better. Against control, Spell Pierce and baby Jace are two of the best cards to use, as well as Acidic Slime actually. Using the Mana Denial plan can work wonders. Nest Invader also is quite an awesome card honestly, slowing aggro, attacking planeswalkers, and ramping in a pinch. Also, I like having a one-of Stormtide Leviathan in the SB. With multiple Slimes, Tectonic Edges, and Primevals for those Edges, the Valakut land isn't the problem. The problem is them attacking with Titans and Avengers of their own. They almost cannot answer the Leviathan and WILL lose if it drops.

Give my UG deck a look if you'd like and maybe drop a comment or two. I really hope you enjoy this deck. UG ramp is honestly probably the most fun deck I've ever run, but will give you a great loathing for any not RUG red deck. Haha.

Hope this wasn't too much all at once. And btw, the latest version of UG I have run is actually not posted on here, but I have listed on starcitygames.com and will transfer over here to this site now. It's probably the best version I have so far, but less controlling and crumbles pretty well to lists like your boros decks. Even still, my last FNM I went up against 4 control opponents and stomped them all except a long match that ended in a draw, due to time constraints.:/ (And to be fair, it was GW control which was pretty rogue and a slightly better matchup against me).

Also, I updated my UB artifacts pretty drastically again. Care to give it a look please?

I'll probably never actually build this deck, seeing how it'll cost a fortune and I'm a broke 15 year old trying to get through highschool, but I make proxies in my spare time and might just make this a proxy casual deck.
I love the genesis wave because it can realllly explode. I mayyy add a few more high-end threats, but I just got bored and thought "well, let's make an expensive deck" and threw this together in 5, lol.

inkmoths are there simply because they're flying 1/1s for 1 mana. they get by planeswalkers, and are nice little chump blockers that leave their mark. so i figured 2 was good. (:

i didnt bother trying to construct a sideboard because like i said, i was just seeing how this would look on paper.

but yeah, I'll look at your u/b right now. :3
Thanks :D

Man, that's a bummer. It truly is just a really fun deck to play! I love it anyways. But yes, it is incredibly expensive (over $500 for my build on average). Luckily, I have a big group of friends to trade with and haven't actually had to buy many of the cards (besides a few lucky boosters and whatnot). The Inkmoths do have infect though, so the 1 damage wont help for killing the player, but I suppose could be ok against planeswalkers...

A lot of people at my local fnm card pool, but seeing how I've only been around since late summer, I didn't even bother asking to get in on it. I mean, I wouldn't really trust these guys with my cards, so it'd be foolish to think they'd trust me, lol.

But I get by with my blue black control and boros. sadly, I've yet to complete my boros (still need those damn fetches) so i haven't played it at fnm yet, and my u/b does realllly well against slower decks, but gets crippled to goblins and other boros. :/

But I commented on your deck, by the way :3

Haha, yeah.. Fetches are terribly annoying to acquire. No one wants to trade them at facevalue and yet their just a bit too expensive to go and buy all at once. If they were even like $5 cheaper things could be soo much different. Haha.
