Great deck. But how do you feel about my friend DoJ?

Disagree. The primary function of the cascade is to get out cheap cards with exalted quickly. By turn 4, i could have 3 cards with exalted, or one if i play Nulltread Gargantuan, and then cascade into a few more. the deck is based around accumulating creatures for an all out assault late game with an absurdly powerful creature. Which reminds me. I'm going to add in distortion strike (2) and then perhaps two more bant charms.

I really like the Semblance Anvils; it cuts down on the cost immensely and saves time. In my opinion, I would reduce the Talus Paladins to one, or even none. If you have Ondu Cleric you won't need lifelink. It's almost overkill. I see the use of Renegade Doppelganger as well, but again it feel as if it's just overkill. You have enough allies as it stands, and it's not as though it's helpful in any other dimension. I would choose between either Umara Raptor or Tajuru Archer and eliminate Seascape Aerialist entirely. I'd rather have Umara Raptor myself, as it's a great defense and a good offense. I'm not going to reccommend any of these for elimination as you might like one over another, but you have a large number of 4 and 5 drops which I think will slow you down a bit even with Semblance Anvil. I would recommend Hada Freeblades as it's both fast and useful late game. However, I don't want to shift the color balance, so you'd have to account for making sure you keep up a good ratio between colors. Even still, if you eliminate Talus Paladin and replace it with Freeblades, it will quicken things up to some degree. I would only put 1 Hagra Diabolist in the deck as well, but that's just my taste. Overall, I feel as though it could make a really amazing deck.

Thanks a ton. I never really thought of flying to be honest, but now that I see it you're so right. Thanks for such a comprehensive list. The only problem with Mimic Vat is that it's expensive. I'm not looking to keep it on a particularly low budget, but some cards can be just out of my price range. However, Leyline of Anticipation, Asceticism and especially Rite of Replication are amazing. I'll definitely have to include them.

I'll do that. I've never played someone who used a Mimic Vat, but Vines of Vastwood is something that's ruined me before. Thanks.

Too bad Adam's decks are dumb and don't deserve to be better.

Divinity of ride costs too much. I mean actual money.

This deck destroys.

I actually think I'm going to try and see how this deck might fair without elspeth. Even without her -5, the mass kill spells can wipe the field for luminarch to be used for maximum efficiency.
