Sure Dark, I can be in your project.

About Puschkin though, I am not quite sure. I've not been a lot around here for a long time, and most of the time I am, I mostly just craft decks or cook up my own plans and pay little to no attention to other decks on the site.

Thanks for the heads up though, Dark! I'll keep an eye out, just to be sure.

Not bad, not bad.

Thanks for the feedback, Dark!

As for myself, I've almost always found 38 the "holy golden number" of lands in any given EDH deck. If a deck is exceptionally ramp-heavy, it can run even more: as example, my own Tasigur EDH runs 42 lands instead of 38.

I'm glad you enjoy what you see!

Ramping is quite hard to pull off in mono blue (budget ramping, at least), but the assumption here is that you can hold on during the early game with some snappy card draw spells like [[Scour All Possibilities]] or [[Deliberate]], and some small blockers like [[Wall of Runes]]. After that, it doesn't take too many turns until you can "wipe" everything with cards like [[Aetherize]], [[Whelming Wave]] or [[Engulf the Shore]], so you can prevent anyone from taking you out too early on in the game.

I admit, that this deck's greatest weakness is its slow build-up. With the proper cards, you can durdle your way to the late game, but it might not be easy in more aggressive metas. I suggest you utilize the best part of multiplayer EDH format: politics! Negotiate, make deals and plot against others in order to reach the late game earlier. You can promise someone not to cleanse the board for a couple of turns if they attack some other player, etc.

This might not be the best possible answer to your question, but I hope I helped!

Those are some good suggestions, yet I wonder whether they'll fit since their CMC is so much above the average curve on this one.

Not bad at all!
I'll stick them to the sideboard, for now.

I'm glad you like the "formal look" on my decks. The descriptions etc. sure have evolved over the years.

Not bad. Especially Fierce Empath.

I know. I know.

Thank you for your comments! Pleasure seeing that others enjoy this deck theme as well!
As for the Muktol's card suggestions, I'll see what I can do.

Check out the sideboard for CHAD content

BEDH = Budget Elder Dragon Highlander

Slapped a couple of those to the sideboard!

Okay, I just added Cubwardens and some Necropanthers to the sideboard. I also added an additional Animal Sanctuary, so one may edit the deck into more of a slow-paced battlecruiser.

These suggestions are not bad at all!
You are right about the mana costs though, this deck is quite aggressive, and those cards would immediately increase the average CMC here.

I think I'll still work around the sideboard a bit. To see what I can come up with.

They sure are, pal. They sure are.

You know you can edit comments, bro?

Maybe I will, shellhead. Maybe I will.
