Honestly, they never crossed my mind. There isn't much I could take out for them and they don't help with the goal of getting lands out for valakut. Plus with 15 ramp spells i can easily turn 4 Primeval Titan almost every game. Destructive Force is a good second win condition but again, hurts the chances of valakut going off awesomely. Thanks for the suggestions though!
You could take out the 2 clones for 2 spreading seas and maybe 2 diminish for another 2 spreading seas if you want to play four of. maybe instead of demon of deaths gate you could play malakir bloodwitch for a pro-white flyer if you play a lot of u/w control.
good point, replacing destructive force and elemental appeal for a set of geopede. thanks for the suggestions!
i was building a deck like this not too long ago, my only suggestions are less umbra cards for more multiples of cards like sovereigns and of course rafiq is key. also if you're using sovereigns of lost alara you should definitely use eldrazi conscription to annihilate your opponent when you attack.
truth. the blue/white and white/green m10 dual lands would be better and give extra room for more allies as i would not need the amulets. though it would just about double the price of the deck (from about $50 to just below $100). in an ideal world, i would use the m10 lands.
zamfir - its in the deck so that all the dual lands come into to play untapped allowing me to not waste any turns while playing them, also there's already 3 hada freeblades in the deck. hipponox - great suggestions. i think i will take out the cancel for more hada, path and clarion. i felt i may need extra defense hence the cancel. dhruvseth - protect for harabaz would be great, i'll see what i can figure out. any ideas would be appreciated. maybe some fetch lands with more basic lands would work better.
