Deck Description

Primordial Flicker combines the resource starving capability of the Sylvan Primordial & combines this with various "flicker" enablers to get maximum use of the various enters-the-battlefield effects sported by the various creatures in this deck.

How to Play

1. Ramp your mana base.
2. Max out on walls on the battlefield; they draw a card and essentially replace themselves.
3. Walls synergize with Axebane Guardian for lots of mana!
4. Bring out the Primordial
5. Flicker

...repeat as needed. Finish with overwhelming stampede turning all of the creatures into trampling monsters!

Deck discussion for Primordial Flicker

I kind of assume this is more of a budget minded kitchen table creation then something you'd bring to a Legacy tournament...

With that assumption as a base:
I like the use of the Wall mana dork in conjunction with the card drawing walls, not exactly fast but for a midgame boost very creative. Maybe a reusable fog effect like Constant Mists will help you get there more often?

Another thing that will likely help is something other then the high casting cost Primordial to flicker as a threat to your opponent, (I see the walls but I'm talking targeting your opponents gameplan), maybe just some simple removal like a movable O-ring or simply a Banisher Priest combo with Resto Angel/Cloudshift?

Something else that is pretty budget and works well with flicker is the scry lands. They really made quite a difference in my Modern flickerdeck.

Like the deck though, a defensive GW flicker stompy, Creative!

Thanks, appreciate the inputs! Your read on my deck is correct. It is a casual / budget minded deck. I should also mention that most of the time, I think I'll be playing this in a 2HG type scenario with my MTG friends. That should amplify the Primordial's effect.

Specific areas I’d like feedback for would be:

1. Mana base:
1.1. Looks OK ?
1.2. Should I replace a few lands with guildgates, shock-lands, scry lands ?
1.3. What are your thoughts on the Selesnya Sanctuary ?

2. Mana acceleration:
2.1. Other ideas ?
2.2. Do I have too much / too little ?
2.3. I chose not to go the Nykthos route because being a two colored deck, I didn’t know if I would be generating enough devotion in a single color to make Nykthos effective.

3. Do you think I have creatures that are either too small & too big and nothing in the middle ?
3.1. Anything to plug the gap in the middle ?

4. Any other awesome combos with enter-the-battlefield ?

5. Any other nice flicker enablers in G/W ?
5.1. Deadeye Navigator would be insane, but wrong color ?.

6. Any other suggestions to enable closing the game ?

Not exactly budget but the single biggest thing you can possibly do to a flicker deck is AEther Vial. Dropping critters at instant speed takes the deck to a whole new level!
