varolz the scar striped is as scavenge friendly as it gets with corpsejack menace, looks fun though

shock not standard, maybe pillar of flame?

gotta say i like this deck, im trawling through trying to find a good standard helvault deck but nicely done! looks fun

I feel you could make an awesome mono white themed heart of thraben church deck, you should give it a go if you have the time and see how it looks! i like this deck for the theme it just seems a little to unfocused at the moment

only real answers to that are malignus with enchantments or master of cruelties but not really. maybe a cryptborn horror when you do a fat tree of redemption tap swap and lower your health a ridiculous amount during your opponents turn probably after combat. not many things to beat it though

tree of redemption/rhox faithmender combo with sheltering word is win by absurd life gain, 3600 or so my record life gain in a turn, opponent quit. With serra avatar and unflinching courage/behemoth sledge its beyond overkill

i spoke to soon, check out back from the brink

I'd say so; for what this deck is (biovisionary win) i dont think it will get much more trim. i wish switcheroo was an instant, so you could activate mirror mad phantasm, switcheroo it as an instant, then opponent mills themselves to death lol

meh there will always be ridiculously overpowered and overpriced cards every set, just gotta aim for the fun combos!

if you main board it i see lots and lots of turn 5 insta wins while you just take the damage, if you can get a biovisionary out turn 3 youre gonna have a good time lol

i think hes going standard but yeah thats legit, i just thought tribute to hunger for the lifegain aspect!

true story, and tribute to hunger at the right moment can just be the biggest fuck you against stompy decks for sure

extort always viable?

nope? or i wouldn't have said so? mana ramp definitely not necessary in this type of deck, especially since youre not running chalices to insta drain opponents life turn 3, avacyns pilgrim is the only one you should need to even out your mana turn 1 if needed. cathedral sanctifiers are a burn, kinda not good; maybe replace with divine deflection for something that helps maintain your life and kill off opponents creatures or deal them the damage straight to the face. for damage activated abilities like balefire dragon and master of cruelties i have straight up laughed at how they get killed against selesnya so easily. at the very least i would recommend at least two sheltering words since its looks vulnerable to unsummon/and burn spells which pops the unflinching courages. in case of o-rings and pacifies why not sideboard sundering growth? couldnt hurt to return a creature of yours to being useful as well as throw down another populated token. who knows, just throwin my 2 cents out there amigo

as of now looks too unfocused perhaps? some chalices of life and selesnya charms to even it out for populating/control? also maybe check out tree of redemption/rhox faithmendercombo, pretty beast with sheltering word! sheltering worded a 0/900ish tree to gain 3600 or so life, fun shit lol

not sure about trostani being shit in this deck since its the only thing here that populates the VOR and advent of the wurm tokens AND is one of the only two ways to gain life in here. however i would say that this deck looks non competitive overall. blue/white are the killers for selesnya as i've seen it, unsummon pops tokens and bombs the enchantments magnificently, while exile/pacifism makes VOR a 50 buck waste for the most part unless you develop your tokens wayyyyy earlier, like no mana ramp. casual play though im sure this does well enough, just throwing my 2 cents out there

how about instead of running the guildgates, try evolving wilds/ghost quarter along with drown in filth for a solid method of filling the graveyard and control in one step. that'll take out seek the horizon. mulch is also solid for ramping up mana, and if you overdraw lands turn 2 you can throw excess cards of your choice to your graveyard! lotleth is a staple for pretty much any golgari deck by giving you a good method of discarding unusable creatures to fill the graveyard. personally i really dislike the scavenge ability of golgari for some reason but love the self mill process as a whole. just think synergy lol

have essence backlashed a malignus for 10 and a consuming abberation for instant wins before lol

eh the only thing i can really think of is populate to protect yourself and throw down another copy of biovisionary from progenitor mimic or cackling counterpart for a suprise win! druid's deliverance and sundering growth could help by adding control along with the populate!

chill combos, overall i like it! one of the decks someone showed me was kinda similar with mirror mad and made me want to create my blue/green self mill!
