The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Deck Description

the other zendikar lands aren't getting the attention they deserve. let's start with the white one =).

essentially a valakut deck, with the red spells swapped for white ones and Emeria, the Sky Ruin in Valakut's place.

the creature recursion allows you to play wrath of god-type effects without a real downside.

Deck discussion for Emeria Ramp (valakut alternative)

I really like this deck!
Why no dual land?
Also, considering the dominance of white in this deck, do you expect to be able to kick Wolfbriar Elemental very often? How about mitotic slime, instead?

heyhey. got rid of the wolfbriars as you suggested. didn't notice the green cost in the kicker.

there's a reason there's no duals in this deck:

khalni heart expidition.
i need a good amount of plains which takes up space in the deck... and dual lands won't trigger the khalni heart expiditions as fast as a good old terramorphic will.... so terramorphic it is.

Brilliant deck idea. I would drop the Wolfbriar as suggested. Also maybe think about Stirring Wildwood for the dual land, just a suggestion. Not sure what you could drop.

yep. dropped the wolfbriar.

not sure what i would drop for duals either. i need the terramorphic expanses to help trigger the khalni heart expiditions so there's not a lot of room.

i may have a whip around and change some stuff.

Also I know this may be an odd suggestion, but have you thought about World Queller? I could see it possibly working in this deck.

This deck is very awesome! The ramp is really nice and you can easily drop a huge creature fairly quick. Maybe to keep with the Emeria theme, throw in an Iona. She's just nasty when she hits the field, also Elspeth Tirel might be a good addition, you'll be getting back creatures often so the life gain from her +2 ability will be nice. Being able to put a few soldiers on the field is always good. And she's got another Wrath to help clear the way when you've got Sky ruin online.

iona was one of my initial considerations but eventually i dropped her because of her prohibitive cost, even in a ramp deck.

elspeth is awesome and i'd love to fit her into this deck somehow. it's a hard call because i need a good amount of creatures to recur from emeria... so i can't really drop any of those.
