Update: I’ve been running a Singleton Doomwake Giant in the Mono Green list instead of the Soul and it’s really been performing well.
Now going to test out Eidolon of Blossoms for added Constellation effect & draw.
Also, 6 fetches seems to be a good number for me.

In reply to parisite. I'm slowly coming on board with adding the whip. Originally I greatly disliked the whip in this version but I think one main and one board might be the way to go. Glad to hear its working out for you though.

In reply to Villy B.. I think the right answer is 6 fetches, but it might be the full 8. We do want some number of them in the list but I havn't had time to actually test them in there.

What do you think about putting some fetches in the Mono green deck ? Is the shuffle effect with Courser/Hydra for selection and thinning worth it ? Considering we will have 11 dorks, we shouldn’t really have mana issues.

mike- nice lists, i’ve been testing with the abzan list and suggest cutting 1 murdous cut and 1 commune for 2 whips….it makes the match up with aggro much more tolerable especially on the draw…my2cents

In reply to mattdecap. Recently I removed the third swamp for an Urborg. I've played many decks with less basics than the number of fetches to great success. In this deck you can even tap your unused fetch while there's an Urborg in play. If you are nervous about it though, you can cut a forest or tri land for another island or swamp.

That dredge list has 4 Polluted Deltas but only 3 fetchable lands

In reply to Greg Henderson. The Dredge deck is the one I've tested the most and it's been really consistent. When you dont have Sidisi against aggro, it can be hard to win, but other than that, it can win any matchup. It is kind of slow sometimes though. The one I'm most excited about is Mardu though, but I haven't had time to test it out. Maybe this weekend though.

You have wear//tear in your mardu sideboard. 🙂 Great list. I plan on trying it out soon. How have your play test matchups been?
