When the poll for this video originally went up, I commented how I was disappointed that Waking the Trolls was winning because all the decks that use it work the same. I have to say, you proved me wrong. I did not expect a deck with Cyclone Summoner, Moritte, and Lithoform Engine. Congrats to Seth on continuing to be one of the wackiest brewers in the community.

@itsallenwow 2 года назад

Hey Seth deck looks sweet. I do have a suggestion to swap out Lithoform Engine for Field Trip. The only time you ended up casting Lithoform Engine you only copied a Play With Fire. I think it's just too expensive and the deck is a bit heavy on the 4's already. Field Trip coming in at 3 mana is only competing with Valakut Awakening, Bala Ged Recovery (2 late game spells, if you even wanted to cast them) and Demon Bolt. Just a suggestion the deck looks fun when it can get up to Troll mana. I think Field Trip would help with just that.

@Aburaishi 2 года назад

In his defense, he was hoping to 2 for 1 based on the assumption opponent was gonna Blizzard Brawl his mana dork. His assumption was extremely wrong, and very greedy at baseline, but there was some thought in his line of play

@myntekx1298 2 года назад

Op playing borrowed time into Ashaya is why I have been in love with ashaya since it's release people were making that mistake alot with banishing light and so many other cards. Ashaya has been my most favorite card printed in a long while. So many things you can do with that cards it's kind of nuts.

Yeah no those are sketchy. This deck should run some instant speed land ramp options, too, to play in response to the awakening the trolls activation

@jorallan 2 года назад

Absolutely greedy. But it's the closest thing to Panharmonicon in Standard so what do you expect!

@MartianKyo 2 года назад

I played two games with this (post epihany ban) I won. But it felt so bad. One game kept the opponent at 3 lands. I love the deck, but playing against randos feels mean. At least with friends we can laugh at how broken the deck FEELS when it pops off. That said the deckbuilder in me really loves this. The fact Ashaya make everything a land so cyclone summoner doesn't boince your stuff is just so sweet.

@oelboy 2 года назад

I play Ashaya in my Elves EDH deck. Of course, there is the obvious Quirion Ranger combo for infinite etbs and mana. But the best part about her is that soo many cards only hit "nonland" permanents! I would've never thought how many there are.

@matthewmcinnes9725 2 года назад

Against All Odds Idea: ramp into land destruction but you just use a Fall of the Thran alongside a Hex Parasite/Power Conduit/Chisei Heart of Oceans once you have a stable board state and watch your enemy just cry.

@Atmapalazzo 2 года назад

I'm a bit conflicted here. Lithoform engine does fuel the AtO goal of massing trolls, but it doesn't seem that good nor does it seem like cutting it stops the deck from fulfilling it's goal.

@MasterCrvo 2 года назад

Could be Burning Down The House, to borrow another commenter's idea, or another point removal?

@Aburaishi 2 года назад

Engine also copies the LD trigger on Waking the Trolls, and lets you copy your cheap removal spells (even creatures if you ramp enough), but it's undeniably greedy and doesn't help your aggro matchups

Brew some decks for formats you don't normally play. Brew with some self-imposed restrictions. Join a league that does deckbuilding challenges. Start a cube. Or, if all else fails, take a break. Brewing (and Magic in general) is like any other hobby; if you focus on it to exclusion, you'll wear yourself out.

I'm kinda surprised that you didn't focus more heavily on land-based ramp - I wonder what your reasoning for going with Tangled Florahedron over Emergent Sequence is, for example. I'm also a little surprised that you didn't go with a Roiling Regrowth/Dire-Strain Rampage/Splendid Reclamation package for some last-minute turbo-ramp. Then again, for all I know you looked at something like that while you were building the deck and discarded it because it's unworkable in the current standard.

@MTGGoldfish 2 года назад

Florahedron is sort of a free roll because it's in a land slot rather than a creature slot.
