It does need to be cast,the word cast is on the card.
To the point of the deck- unfortunately, this list is far from competitive.I have been working g to make a modern viable emrakul reanimator list for nearly a year, and the best I've been able to get it close to the Tin Fists list that was played in a recent event.

Essentially, its super fun, but not super consistent.

the electromancer is not a wincon. its a necessary enabler.

this is incorrect. You cannot pay an overload cost on a card as a cost of casting it for "free"

if you give Boros Reckoner Indestructibility (boros Charm) and Lifelink (Azorius Charm) you have an infinite lifegain loop :)

Immobile, I will not engage you in this internet slap fight you seem to want to start. Your opinion is no more valid than mine. its not my fault you dont know how to read sarcasm.

why is this an argument? one of these cards is a sideboard card, the other is basically unplayable. If your 3 slot in a standard Naya deck is not Loxodon Smiter or Fanatic of Xenegos, you are wrong.

Nylea's Presence is also good to make Nacatl grow.

Tectonic Edge and Ghost Quarter are both played heavily in Modern. Chained is a bad 3 for 1. O ring is tougher to deal with.

and Ghor Clan Rampager is in my $1300 build of this deck, and it is an all star. do you even read the cards?

Goyf is not actually necessary to run a Zoo deck, Fetches are, which is an issue that is sort of addressed by the evolving wilds cards.

as for the actual deck, Steppe Lynx should be in the main board, Pridemage in the side. Lynx allows for super explosive starts, such as T1 Plains, Lynx, T2 Evolving wilds, trigger lynx, crack wilds for mountain, trigger Lynx, swing 4. even better is the turn 3 8, same scenario, but with a ghor clan on top


interesting idea, and this is one of the few decks that can actually still be competetive with a budget, because of the value cards. some Shock lands would really help, though.

if you do not use sideboards, then dont offer advice on them. ignorance on a subject doesnt help anyone.

you dont plan a sideboard for what your opponent has, you plan a sideboard for the threats that are being played in a metagame that you have trouble beating with the things in your mainboard. Desecration Demon is very difficult for RG to deal with

Couch, Kalonian swings for 12, not 16. the Kalonian trigger does not double its power/toughness, only the number of counters. The xenegos ability makes the Kalonian an 8/8 with 4 +1/+1 counters, and the Hydra ability doubles the counters when it is declares an attacker, adding 4, making a 12/12. not shabby at any rate, but just make sure youre making the right calls on triggers.

Xenegos(god) turns a Kalonian into a 12/12 when it attacks the first time. Kalonian is ALWAYS decent sized.

so...dont run one, because ts not enough, but dont run two because its too many? thats horrible logic. Plummet is a tier 1 green removal spell that deals with threats that freen cannot normally handle, such as Desecration Demon and Stormbreath Dragon. Most top end GR lists have one or two in the board.

the deck is standard. rancor is not.

agreed....

nah. i need to get my playsets done. no sense in trading one for another. I sold some standard stuff on ebay, so my mesas are in the mail. Ive been playing a long time, but was taking a break during both fetch sets....:-/

thanks for the input. I think that Ghor Clan is important as a card that can push damage through on a stalled board, and as I stated above, I left out Loam Lion because I think too many Kird Apes is a bad plan, and lynx allows for super powerful starts. The fetches I have in there are the actual fetches I own. once my Mesas get here, they will be going in.

you make a lot of assumptions, kid. I AM discussing THIS deck, and Mistcutter does not belong mainboard in THIS deck. Im not using this imaginary equation you have dreamed up, I simply said it is bad here, because the metagame has a ton of non blue token generation. my formula is more like "X card belongs in the sideboard because Y, M, N, C, Z, B cards trump it game one and make it a brick unless a very specific set of circumstances come up"

Im sorry you didnt get enough love growing up, but trolling the internet wont make daddy hug you more.
