Deck discussion for Valakut Ramp Control Rate and Help!!!

I think you should put more creatures on

This deck doesn't run on creatures. Siege-gang and Bloodbraid are plenty of creatures for a Valakut deck. What I might do:

-3 Burst Lightning
-2 Spire Barrage
+2 Chandra Nalaar - I just love this planeswalker. Anything that you can eat a Baneslayer with the turn you put it out, without it dying, is a great card in my book. Plus her ultimate is nuts.
+3 Earthquake / Chain Reaction - I see them in your sideboard, but you really ought to have a couple board wipe spells in the mainboard.

To replace the 3 Earthquake / Chain Reaction that are moving to mainboard, I would add in Banefire to side in against control decks. With all the land ramp it won't be too hard to get a 9 or 10 Banefire in the mid game.

Yeah dude totally agree although in the mainboard i would suggest either 4 borderland rangers or gonlin ruinblaster. also burst lightning is good! so keep them

@ amigolabara you don't know what your talking about, a very similar deck went top 8 sometime ago.

agreed, ranger or pilgrims eye just to keep them off for a while (i l8ly preferred the pilgrim as it blocks a flyer for a turn just in case and flyers got popular with some of my m8s again xD).

i play it with the 2 chandras u mentioned and those are really helping a lot.

i played the deck with earthquake until i cascaded into it (i first thought ok fuck it just play it anyways but changed my mind there :P). chain reaction on the other hand is just gr8 ;).

I've found that BBE doesn't do as much as I'd like in this deck, I definitely prefer Oracle of Mul Daya over it. I don't think I've ever seen a situation where I wanted Lavaball Trap. I used to have Spire Barrage as well, but Comet Storm is amazing. Explore may seem underwhelming at first, but there are situations where it really shines (like against Runeflare Trap).
