Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

landfall+astral=love

my original premise for making this deck was astral slide+ avengikar= butt load of tokens!

but for the most part i use it for eternal witness which is also an amazing card :)

I love Astral Slide decks, and the landfall idea seems pretty fine, good job. I use to have a G/W Astral Slide "stomp" deck, using Astral Slide to flip my Imperial Hellkites and Towering Baloths on third turn. Hey, I would be thankful if you take a look to some of my decks.

i'll have to take a look at those cards for sure! so you can morph a creature then flip it over when it comes back into play from being exiled?

i'll give your decks a peek!

Cool deck. Could maybe benefit from a blue splash for Venser (planeswalker) - totally random but possible and fun. Plus, it allows for more Cycling cards.

Before using the Stag, I feel like you could still use more comes into play effect cards. Not positive on what to use, honestly. Also, the same could probably be said for the Wolfbriar I think. I don't know why you would want him over a card like Avenger in this deck.

Since you're obviously not standard or extended legal, I would probably add a few Swords to Plowshares to the deck as top-notch removal.

Also, I haven't played too much with the Temple of the False God, but because it doesn't tap without 4 or more other lands, I think if it were me, I would just use a couple Stirring Wildwood instead. More color fixing and a potential blocker/attacker when needed.

Looks solid, though. I honestly am not sure what else to even provide for options off the top of my head.

lol i dunno what all i would change just for a splash of blue.. but i'll consider it, venser is my favorite planeswalker:D

the 2 avengers are there after much playtesting, i originally had 4 but then i cut it down by 1 and then again by another, to be honest i havent play tested with wolfbriar or stag yet so we shall see how this goes, if not im thinking about adding 1 admonition angel and 1 more wing shards, how does that sound?

i also originally had path to exile in this deck and i could just never seem to have it when i needed it, or i always had it at the wrong time:-/

stirring wildwood is a great card and i'll probably try to find someway of fitting it into the deck, but so far temple of a false god has done nothing but wonders for this deck!

thanks! maybe i'll make a U/W astral slide deck to give venser a go! :)

Oh, ok. Makes sense about the Wolfbriar and Stag. I love Admonition Angel and really love Wing Shards, too. I would prefer those if it were me, but who knows, I guess. UW could be fun!:) Good luck with it, no matter where you take it.

I recommend taking out 3 degree of justice's and replacing them with martial coup. its cheeper than cycling degree of justice and you get the same creatures. PLUS if you cast enough you get to wipe the rest of the field win win for you!

I'd keep the Decrees because they only cost one more to cycle, plus you still get to blink your Avenger to make tokens or Eternal Witness to get the Decree back....

Add a few Fluctuator, reduces cycle cost and when paired up with Library of Leng, it's like cheating :)

Primal Titan works well, 2x Sun Titan may work help you out more with cycling and keeping your primary cards in play.

You can also feed a cycle deck using Life from the Loam and cycle lands. I use 8 cycle lands in mine and they work well.

I really like the idea of using the Avenger of Zendikar. You could add Ruin Ghost to help with beefing up the tokens that the Avenger pumps out.

I hope these help. If you get a chance take a look at mine.
