You completely missed the point with grothama. It's essentially a 5 mana draw 8 in this deck since your creatures are all 4/4 indestructibles...

So very much this. It’s basically a card that says draw 8 cards for 5 it’s pretty great

@ShotBot212 5 ай бұрын

Not even just 8. If your creatures are buffed you can get more value. 7/7s draw 14. If you have a ghalta out you can hit it for 4 then have ghalta hit for 12 and draw 16.

@Brenator18 5 ай бұрын

Yes 5 mana for 8 cards "for everyone". The majority of people don't want there opponents drawing cards for advantages. This is why it's being cut I think. Let me know if I'm wrong on this

@ryanfournier9522 5 ай бұрын

@@Brenator18 read it again. You only draw cards if you dealt it damage this turn. Only the bellow player will draw unless someone wants to cast an instant to get in on it.

Grothama is 5cmc draw 8 cards. You wouldn't cast it and pass. Your animated elementals have indestructible (and haste) so you can swing, and draw those cards.

@GallantLee 6 ай бұрын

Tendershoot dryad's job is to create saprolings for blockers, since you lose all your animated creatures. The buff is irrelevant... having said that Tendershoot dryad is a big magnet for removal.

Can it only ever be 8 cards? Does over damaging Grothma, say with 3 or more indestructable enchantments, maen you draw more cards, as they all deal damage at the same time?

@fibbl7178 5 ай бұрын

@@Spacewizzard090 The fighting ability that Grothama provides is a triggered ability, meaning each fight happens one after another and Grothama can die between the fights. But you can draw more than 8 cards if the first creature that fights Grothama has more than 8 power for example. Since Bello turns your enchantments and artifacts into 4/4 indestructible creatures, two fights will most of the time kill Grothama before other creatures can fight it.

I think one of the best adds in the deck would be Bramble Sovereign. Your 4+MV artifacts/enchantments enter as creatures so you can pay the 1G to create a token copy of it. Plus with the recent reprint it’s only $2. You can also just copy your creatures to have more blockers since that seems to be something the deck is lacking.

I think grothama is basically a draw 8 sorcery that requires you to have a couple 4/4's out. can be a draw 16 if you have ghalta out. Shamanic revelation might be a more consistent choice, even if it doesn't have the same ceiling as grothama, though I do plan to keep grothama in the build at first just because I remember opening one back in battlebond and going "there has got to be a use-case for this SOMEWHERE". I'll bet whoever designed the precon was pretty satisfied with that inclusion!

Haha definitely keep it in if you like it. Just something that had to go for me to make room for some other things! -Hunter

@Aeonblade10 6 ай бұрын

I'm thinking of keeping the Tendershoot in there. It doesn't really jive with the deck, but it seems like it's hard to defend yourself otherwise since your only animating stuff on your turn. He'll at leash shit out a ton of chump blockers.

@GuysThatMagic 6 ай бұрын

Definitely understandable and it was one of my last cuts. I may put it back in for that reason for the $300 but we will see - Hunter

threefold thunderhulk is an absolute unit with bello, the etb and attack triggers can spit out 14 1/1 gnomes to block with on its first turn and the sac ability is just the cherry on top

My only issue with this upgrade is the same issue I have with a lot of precon upgrade videos, namely: jaded MtG vet players are tired of seeing a good staple card so they take it out just to take it out. In this case, I'm referring to Etali. It's a great, fun card, and I (me, myself, and I) am not particularly tired of it, so... yeah, I'll keep that one in. Otherwise, it's a very good video.

Leave grothma and tendershoot. Do not worry about the two enchantment gods theyll get countered. Also i feel like you guys should have played the deck otb and seen it go wild then made cuts. Fwiw the enchantment that doubles mana for the treasures is great its won me a couple of games.

Basically the effect “Is not a creature” will overwrite depending on the ordering. So bello makes it a creature and its own effect makes it not a creature if done wrong

@@GuysThatMagic I dunno man, I would think Muerra is a good inclusion. She adds mana, she gains you life and she lets you play cards from the top. I would think that is at least a consideration. Also Scrapshooter might be a decent include. Specially if you lean more into the 4 power matters which is somewhat a sub theme I would say.

Yeah.... No Decimate always has 4 legal targets in a 4 player ffa Domris abilities are all useful, you can still spend the mana on noncreature spells, the anthem is legit and the fight ability is a bonus Harmonize is the exact kind of draw you want in an aggro deck. A quick refill. There are so many other cards that could be cut and also, these gods? They do so little, i dont get it.

Xenagos becomes a 4/4 on your turn and doubles a creatures power and gives it trample. It's useful. Nylea is mid.
