I did look at it but it is not helpful really. With the Chromatic Lantern, my forests can be any land I want, but the Keeper would force that mana to double. So if I tapped a forest for blue, I would get two blues instead. Since most of my creatures only need one of each color to be cast, I'd more than likely take mana burn unless I was able to play 2 creatures per turn.

Coat of Arms is a good option also - and wouldn't have to worry about someone removing counters from it.

Druid's Familiar is another good bear (a little higher cost than the ones you have now) with Soulbond. Gives him and the creature he's bonded with +2/+2.

I may be missing something, but I don't see how you could play Apocalypse Hydra with this deck. It looks mono-green to me.

Thanks for the suggestions! City of Brass is nice, but I don't know if I can afford to take damage each time I use it (I have no life gain in this deck).

Sakura-Tribe Elder is an interesting option. I'll have to experiment a bit to see which I like better. I also considered Ranger's Path for a brief second, but the cost is too high for what I want to do.

I did look at Door to Nothingness when building the deck list initially. I may revisit that option as I am concerned about Child of Alara completely wrecking my game if/when it dies as I'd go back to mono-green until I could play another lantern or enough birds & ziggurats to make up for the mana production loss. Although I'm also considering adding another 1-2 of the white bringers, since they would let me cycle my Chromatic Golems each turn.

Thoughts?

Thanks k-shroom!

I like this option. And only at the cost of one of my saprolings - I would have the option to generate however many more based on the number of Thallids I have in play. You've given me things to think about :D

I had not heard of Cathedral of War before. I wish it didn't have to enter the battlefield tapped, but definitely something I will look into getting. I should see if I have any on hand - limit cost to me later :)

I like Essence Harvest - I'll have to consider adding that (and I'm pretty sure I have a set). It would give me an opportunity to deal damage later when a solo attacker is not enough to break through (aside from Tormented Soul) - especially with the extreme lack of trample in this deck.

I liked Cathars' Crusade and I actually had a copy - so I replaced one of my Honor of the Pures. If it works well enough, I'll probably replace the other two, but I would also need to buy copies... sometimes I think I spend too much on this game :D

I've actually been able to play Griselbrand once - but it was before the way the deck currently looks. I like the idea of adding tormented souls - didn't even consider it. And I think removing Griselbrand and any (all?) of the bigger creatures would not damage the dynamics. That would allow for 3 Tormented Souls and a third Duskmantle Prowler. I might be able to take out some of those sorceries (maybe a Disentomb & Increasing Ambition or something) in order to add a couple more Mark of the Vampires or some Dark Favors.

Thanks king! Also, replacing Attended Knight with Precinct Captain removes the only non-soldier creature in the deck. It's a win-win!

I hadn't even heard of fencing ace before :|

Precinct Captain looks like it would be a good addition as well, but what to take out? Benalish Veteran? Hmm...
