M1 g2 given you have no clock I'm not sure how viable the land denial strategy is by fon the loam. Although I think you don't want them to just rebuild after a ruination so it's interesting
Thanks for the feedback. Yes - that's the challenge with land destruction - they can just draw out of it if you have no pressure. It can buy you a few turns, though.
It's hard to say until I get more practice. I suspect this deck will be weak against Lands, since its main interaction is with Ruination, which doesn't come online until turn 4. It does have lots of ways to combat constructs and Merit Lage, though. The deck does have a ton of ways of removing Elvish Reclaimer turn 1, which is the first step to beating Depths.
@1:04:55 maybe it makes sense to leave the plateau up instead of the volcanic, in case you want to swords one of your creatures to gain life? Probably doesn't matter in this case as it would only put you to 6, but it could matter in a different situation. Obviously you were short on time so it's not a priority but that swords life gain can be sooo back breaking if they aren't expecting it.
