I am heavily considering a one-of Fountain. I really like this deck as it has shown real promise but has so so so many flex spots. Like how many Deserts, and Eviscerator's Insights and Cast Downs do we want? And maindeck spellbomb? And aaaaaa. I love it. Wish I had more time to play.

What's your view on the split between Mystic and Monarch creatures? I have been leaning more towards playing a higher number of mystics (3 mystic 2 monarch) as the card is just fucking exceptional against Gruul as well as Mono White, and can be played when behind or equal on board unlike the monarch creatures.

Two mana for one life seems just plain awful, man cards used to be fucking wild xD
Evincar's Justice is absolutely fantastic though, I cannot imagine running a teachings deck without it. But it could be one of those cards that just gets auto-included without thought and perhaps should be reconsidered.

Though I love the card, and it is really good against Mono Blue, against burn with their infinite 1/1 shitters, half of whom are essentially two for ones, it is super low impact compared to something like [[Suffocating Fumes]]. It's kind of awkward in how it is not as reliable as a cast down or an edict and it does not clear the board like drown in sorrow or justice. What would you cut for it?

The theory is that between wasteland, saga, smallpox, liliana, and factory enough lands will hit the bin. How the tradeoff on escaping Nethergoyf and fetch lifeloss works out I do not know. But I think it's really important for the pox community - all 7 of us - to figure that out as it's one of those small edges the gaining of which the entire deck is built around. Especially as exiling saga ticks off two cards types but also probably shrinks all goyfs as there are not many enchantments floating around.

It may be evil, but it is necessary in a deck like this one. Though some sideboard concession must be made for matchups like Mono Red.

[[Embiggen]] is almost always going to be better than [[Groundswell]] as it is a guaranteed +4/+4 so long as you don't cast [[Scale Up]] first.

The price function stopped working like a year ago.
Card search either directly or indirectly when clicking card names in decks or when linking cards in comments breaks more and more frequently for more and more cards.
Sets take longer and longer to get added.
And now adding cards to decks stopped working.

Running a website like this costs money, when traffic goes down, the ads that pay for the website can no longer justify those costs. That's my theory as to why it is going to hell; not enough people frequent the site, so little reason left to keep it running smoothly.

When MH3 took some ten thousand years to get added it became obvious that things were falling apart and it was only a matter of time before basic functions stopped working. Now, maybe it will get fixed. It frankly makes no sense as a technical glitch, I cannot imagine what would cause it to be possible to push data to storage in the form of decks but not cards within those decks.

So either things falling apart or... a conscious decision to kill basic functions.

Yeah, seems it's finally dead.
EDIT: Only had the issue since the morning of 4.10.24.

Idk man, Nissa feels so incredibly weak in the face of the modern format. Removal for frog and phlage and the like, or even [[Oath of Nissa]] has to be better.

I think this is the first of your decks where I can 100% get behind 4x [[High Noon]] xD. It handles [[The One ring]], [[Amped Raptor]], forces the game into a cadence where walker vs 1 other spell is likely to leave you winning more often than not, and there are enough powerful cards to offset the problem with drawing multiples of the enchantment. I think [[Six]] could work here, but mostly more answers to [[Psychic Frog]] like [[Prismatic Ending]] seem downright necessary. Something to sweep up cat tokens and the like would also go a long way in the metagame.

[[Nissa, Voice of Zendikar]] seems like the weakest planeswalker, too weak really.

I can see that, but I would counter that it teaches important lessons about timing; bringing the cat back at end of turn, playing around potential graveyard hate. And also potentially about chump blocking or playing to win vs playing not to lose.

On the other hand, it is something that if included in a deck almost forces it to lean more aristocrats and would thus likely necessitate a lot of other card changes in this build.

Seeing Witch's Oven without Cauldron Familiar is just wild to me after the combo terrorized me in standard or historic or whatever it was that I played before Arena retaught me that not all that glitters is gold.

I think Nylea's Presence is supposed to take care of the domain issue but it is just not enough at all. Lush Growth also helps but is just bad, bad, bad fucking card. Like [[Lay of the land]] kind of bad.
