Deck Description

Best of Both Worlds. My first Standard deck! Honest opinions only :)

Without Heartless this is a fairly safe but slow ramp up to Wurmcoil, Prime-Time, or Kessig + Inkmoth endgame. Will be adding more Primeval Titans as I acquire them!

With Heartless this deck has Rampant Growths for 1 forest (Viridian Emissary), Sol Ring with a 1/1 body (Palladium Myr), a 7/7 for 3 mana that buffs another creature +4/+4 (Wolfir Silverheart),not to mention Wurmcoils and Titans for 4.

Glissa always costs 1B and 2G but 2/2 first strike deathtouch is still a stellar blocker, plus get to reuse Solemn, Myr, Batterskull, Wurmcoil & Ratchet Bomb!

Glissa + Revenge of the Hunted Miracle = 9/9 Firststrike, Deathtouch, Trample that must be blocked by all creatures able to do so! All for only 1 swamp and 3 forests, but still worth the 6 mana costs to annihilate up to 9 creatures for the cost of 1 card. :D

Update: -1 Increasing Ambition -2 Despise -1 Vorinclex -1 Kessig Wolf Run / +1Glissa +2 Evolving Wilds +1 Swamp +1 Tragic Slip
Update: -4 Perilous Myr -3 Tragic slip -1 Beast Within -1 Forest -1 Batterskull +2 Revenge of the Hunted +1 Inkmoth Nexus +2 Go For the Throat +1 Wurmcoil +2 Druid's Familiar +2 Demonlord of Ashmouth
Update: -2 Druid's Familiar -2 Go For the Throat -1 Inkmoth Nexus -1 Sword of War and Peace -1 Mimic Vat -1 Karn -1 Batterskull -1 Vorapede +1 Copperline Gorge +1 Demon Lord of Ashmouth +2 Deadly Allure +3 Palladium Myr +2 Undying Evil +1 Beast Within
Update Sideboard: -1 Karn, the Liberated +1 Sword of Feast and Famine

All suggestions and comments are welcome. Especially advice on Mana-Base!

Deck discussion for Heartless Ramp

I like the idea, quick way to get out the big creatures. For a good powerful creature, i would recommend the Engulfing Slagwurm, amazing big wurm.

If they were legal, i would recommend Gaea's Anthem or Beastmaster Acsension, they would counter the -1/-1 from the heartless summoning. It would make for a great combo in a Modern or casual deck.

Nice deck, i like it.

I do have a couple of the Engulfing Slagwurms but as they are easily handled with removal I chose Vorinclex as at least I will gain a slight mana advantage temporarily and the Titan gives me the 2 lands also.

I would definitely throw in some Beastmaster Ascensions for a modern deck... if I owned any. Just got back into MTG after a 10 year break about when New Phyrexia came out.

nice deck but i would take batterskull, Sword and vorinclex out and put 3 titans more or 2 titans and one wurmcoil. despise you should change to land! 20-22 land should be good! little changes and this can be killer deck!

Unfortunately these are the best cards I own. I would definitely put in a few more Wurmcoil and Titan if I had them! I do have the 8/8 Monstrosity that brings 2 randoms creatures back from grave to play when he dies, but I thought Vorinclex is better for 1 more mana.

Thanks for you thoughts on the Land I will update!

I like the use of the Emissary... The deck is seems to flow good, expecially according to the fact, that U use 1 or 2 of a lot of cards in it... U should put 4 Glissa in it... I haven't seen a deck Glissa is so good in... The mana base is really instabil... U don't need the Wolf Run... may be 1 at most... what U need is to use 1 more mana & put in "Evolving Wilds" ...

U've inspired me in doing a Morbid-Glissa/Artifact deck with "Heartless Summoning" & "Perilous Myr" :)

I took out the Vorinclex and added another Glissa. The stable early board position should help me get to Karn or Wurmcoil easier and keep me alive a bit longer. Also took your advice on the evolving wilds, I guess this could help my opening hand to find that swamp I need to heartless T2!

Sounds like a fun deck please send me a link when you get it done!
