Yea, thanks for the help, good points. I never really liked debt to the deathless either but was wondering if it had potential in this scenario. I can definitely see taking it out for another win con or card draw mechanic. As to essence harvest, I looked it up and it is different than what you describe. Essence Harvest is a B(2) for X depending on the power of a creature you control. the only targets I really have are Obzedat and Griselbrand. Are you talking about a different card?

I've been really scared of RDW and gruul aggro lately. Do you think I can make it to T6/T7 to get off a Merciless Eviction? Or is it more for the SB instead of Killing Wave?
I've also been taking a tackle at this...http://www.mtgvault.com/nebs/decks/esper-auras/I've designed this one for against aggro at the moment, and everything in the SB is for switching against control/Midrange. I'm going to test it later today and i'll let you know how it does against a RDW and Gruul aggro. Let me know what you think. I think Divine Favor is going to be a great addition here. It gets your one drops out of searing spear range + any other enchant gets you out of Mizzium Mortars range. The lifelink from Mark of the vampire and azorius charm will hopefully let you stabilize turn 3-4 for a turn 4-5 kill with Invisible Stalker + Divine Favor + Ethereal Armor.Oh and before you mention it, I havent had the chance to shell out 80$ for 4 geist yet, so Ascended lawmage is taking its place. Geist is what will be going there in the future.
No worries. I was pretty sure it happened the way I thought, but its good to be sure and know exactly why it happens that way.
??? Triggered abilities go on a stack they cant happen at the same time. If you control all the triggered abilities you can choose the order you want them to go on the stack. (assuming the other player has no response)This is a level 2 judge's response to the cloudfin + Young Wolf + Rapid Hybridization question.http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?t=480973
Since you control both triggered abilities, you choose the order in which the triggered abilities in question go on the stack. You control Young Wolf, so when Rapid Hybridization destroys it, you'll be the one who puts a token onto the battlefield. This happens as part of Rapid Hybridization's effect, so this will trigger evolve once, as well as the Young Wolf's undying. If you choose to have undying resolve before evolve, a 2/2 Young Wolf will enter the battlefield, triggering evolve again for the still 1/2 Cloudfin Raptor (this would go on the stack above the first evolve trigger). Then, assuming no responses from your opponent, both evolve abilities will resolve and result in a 3/4 Cloudfin Raptor.You are right about aetherling though. Useless for this deck. Its mostly filler because I have no idea what I should put in the sb.
Mine has been doing really well lately, but it rotates out with innistrad block if that effects your process at all. Mine is also in your general price range:Shameless plug: http://www.mtgvault.com/nebs/decks/breaking-bioshift-50-standard/If you want to stick with your idea though, i would look at the creatures you are using. Right now, the only thing you got that evolves renegade krasis is Masterbiomancer and Vorapede and ooze flux. So you have a (4 of) that only gets its full potential from 6 other cards in your deck. I would play either higher toughness creatures or take Krasis out and go for a different evolve creature. Though there is something to be said about the combination of Renegade Krasis and Ooze flux. If you could run 4 of ooze flux and get both of them out you could guarantee a huge ass creature that evolves everyone (twice with krasis) AND do it multiple times per term. If you rely on this as your +1 generator and zameck as your +1 removal (early game), then I would take out the Increasing Savagery to make room for ooze flux, and take out Tracker for a playset of zameck and 3 elusive krasis and/or biomancers.
Yea, Changing it around and making Chocobo a less integral role. Turning it into more of a junk token deck so I dont have to rely on trample.
Haha sorry, im still playing with it. I havent even had a chance to add description/how to yet. Rancor is something i thought about and something i reallyneed to work on and play test. Right now my only option is selesnya charm....which i dont know if im going to like or not. My local store also sells out of rancors very quickly so I havent been able to pick up another play set. Do you got any other tips?
Thanks, And i really like that you can blow your low cost cards like Undying wolf, be aggressive then use him to draw a card with the guildmage to get more spells. Then use the wolf to continue to chump block/ be aggressive especially with rancor
