Heres my deck if your interested in possible changes - http://www.mtgvault.com/sugarrush005/decks/abzan-ascendants/

Holy crap this made the Hot Page. Wooooohhh first deck on the Hot Page. Thankyou!!!

Yeh I'm a fan of Overrun too but with the amount of damage you can achieve with Multani or Allosaurus Rider paired with O.S. just creates monster alpha swings, especially in mulitplayer. I have taken out three other players in one turn thanks to O.S and yes Elvish Piper is just awesome 1CMC for beefcake creatures why not haha.

Dammit beat me to the punch I have been looking at the +1/+1 counters and extra ability (flying, reach,deathouch etc...) cards from Tarkir. Well done this is a very nice deck

Thanks for the suggestion. That is a good point board wipe is generally the end of token gen decks and I will put it in my sideboard. However, I play this deck against board wipes and the amount of life gain I get from Wellwisher is just ridiculous as well as being able to regen as many creatures I want with Ezuri (unless they play Damnation), usually I have enough sustain to get going again or its over before they can baord wipe in the first place.

Indeed it would be just thought i'd chk I've modelled a deck inspired by this one, I havnt looked a convokes potential looks really fun and I like this deck too - http://www.mtgvault.com/sugarrush005/decks/tokensconvoke-ftw/

Question - With Intangible Virtue in play with several tokens if you choose to convoke a spell and tap some tokens do they tap or stay untap due to vigilance???

The deck is sooooooooo offensive and is solely reliant on your tokens. I'd add Sundering Growth for some control and populate as well as the possibility of Growing Ranks, Doubling Season and Presence of Gond for token generation.

I get the theme of the deck is based around convoke but you might be better of putting in a creature like Mycoloth instead of Vitu-Ghazi, this way you can have a beefy creature with token generation each upkeep. Also Wayfaring Temple (as many people have suggested) would be far better than Crusader of Odric.

Surely I'm not the only one to notice this but you have Sanguine Bond instead of Exquisite Blood. Your deck revolves around your opponent losing life and you gaining it, hence Exquisite Blood. Either way add both of them because the combo is brutal I have it in my Vampire themed deck - http://www.mtgvault.com/sugarrush005/decks/drain-n-gain/

You should also look at some cheap CMC creatures with life link or deathtouch like Vampire Nighthawk to replace Fate Unraveller, Spiteful Returned and possibly Servant of Tymaret. I understand that you want this deck to be enchantment based so you should have 4 Grim Gaurdian too.

Additionally (now I'm not sure if you want this deck to be Modern but...) if you want some accelaration in your deck add some dark rituals or Ob Nix is probably not going to come into play with the combo of Maralen.

Otherwise good deck idea, who said red was the only burn deck.

Fair enough no need to get ancy. I play the same rules just seems most ppl on this site prefer to play modern through to standard

Ahhh ok so it does work in the way I intended then this card is a must, its the only sure way to end the game with one card

Well I feel Biovisionary has too much of a target on it, so essentially when I get him into play he is targeted by any and all removal cards (path to exile, doom blade, even damnation sometimes...). This is why I put Renegade Doppelganger into my sideboard because I figured the key is to bring them all out within a turn or two (max 3 or you run the risk of having to replace ones lost) so Doppelganger can be harmless to begin with then bring out Biovisionary and you have two.

The way I try to play this deck is to have 1 Doppelganger, 1 Biovisionary and either 1 Transmute card or 1 Phantasmal Image this way I can rush the cards onto the battlefield. I found that Prophet of Kruphix helps with this combo because your creatures have flash not to mention the mana resources you gain but it does slow down play a bit but then again this deck doesnt seem to play exceedingly fast. However, I do like your inclusion of Sylvan Caryatid giving extra mana and hexproof for 2CMC which can easily be used as a copy, as well as the idea of bouncing Biovisionary instead of using Body Double. I may have to look into that.

For the time being I do not have Doubling Chant but really want to buy it and place it in this deck as it is essentially an insta-win with Simic Charm. Question, Doubling Chant does allow you to search for ALL cards with the same name and put them into play? The only other question this becons is whether or not it is more viable to turn the deck into a defensive deck as to add cards that will search for Doubling Chant, however I still need to research this idea.

You could atleast get rid of Gifts Ungiven and Mystical Tutor to make it legal lol

Thanks, after viewing your deck I am beginning to see the advantage of having Silhana rather than Lotleth. I guess I'm just taking a risk with the thought that I can find whatever card I need, be it in graveyard or library with this card combination, thus making the idea of removal cards such as Path to Exile a bit moot.

I will look at more scavenging ideas creature wise thou, cheers for the input.

Yeh you both make a fair point with the Golgari Charm and Lotleth Troll, however my intention for Jarad wasnt to buff him with creatures in your graveyard as scavenging exiles them but to utilise his ability to deal direct damage to a player.
For example, if you boost Silhana to a 14/14 and then proceed to attack with your opponent having no defenders you could then sac him in 2nd main phase and win the game. I thought his inclusion might provide more 'win condition' options. Its also useful if someone happens to have a global spell that doesnt 'target' Silhana such as Damnation, you can sac her before the spell resolves thus still utilising her damage rather than it being wasted. This is just a thought thou, your deck seems pretty solid as is.

True, true, I think i'll keep planar portal sideboarded for now and replace with some abundant growth and multiples of planeswalkers

Yes this is my only dilemma, I have been trying to figure out how to increase draw chance other than Wall of Blossoms seeing as my mana curve is fine but if I dont get the right cards at the right time I'm at a lose however thats the point of the defenders to also delay the game.

I have thought about cards like fog that will help prolong the game until I can grab Doubling Season and any one Planeswalker.

Also yes the Gemstone Mines are there to try and give a bit of speed to the deck with the mana ramping possiblities. Nonetheless this deck poses some very interesting outcomes given the right circumstances

Thats a really good point, I wasnt sure if Vivid lands counted as basics and was hoping that would be cleared up, so indeed I will make these changes. Thankyou for the help, however I would like to keep gemstone mines in play so 11 forests and the guildgates.

Wrong link sorry- http://www.mtgvault.com/sugarrush005/decks/golgari-scavenge-deck/

Cheers man didn't think of that for some reason, added it into my deck with some cool combos that can go along with it, thanks for the input.
