Note: Yes, I know that I have white shock-lands but nothing to spend white mana on. As soon as I get some of the white cards I want, I'm putting them in, so I don't want to have to rebuild the mana base after a trade in the FLGS before I play a game. Also, my sideboard is built partly for convenience... I like to keep playsets together so I don't accidentally trade the third/fourth copy, so extras often get stuck in the sideboard even when they should be replaced altogether.
The first thing I want to change about this deck is to make it a more aggressive creature based strategy. As it stands, the deck is not as aggressive as I'd like it to be, and it is also not as consistent as I'd like it to be. Over time, I want to add the following cards:
- 3 Bayou (replace the Overgrown Tombs)
- 2 Savannah (replace the Temple Gardens)
- 1 Scrubland (replace the Godless Shrine)
- 4 Verdant Catacombs (replace the Polluted Deltas)
- 1-2 more Wastelands
Troll Ascetics, some discard elements, Rancors, and perhaps the Llanowar Elves will all be removed in favor of these much more aggressive (and efficient) cards. Until then, I'm going to keep playing the same stupid stuff that I used to play in extended before I quit playing and the format rotated in my absence.
Now I just need somebody to hook me up with some cheap cards and more people to play against...
