Banty Lands

[Rev En Fuego]

Here's the deck I played at FNM last week. Fun, thanks to Aceman for the Explore idea. Lots of lands, but it maximizes Treasure Hunt, and since Captured Sunlight only hits 4 cards (1 being a 1 of) it completely makes it a solid engine.

I LIKE IT

Captured Sunlight hits 13 cards in that list.

[Rev En Fuego]

4 specific cards. Explore, TH, Knight, Path. Yes, 13 total, but you are getting 1 of 4 cards.

[Hawzy]

now it all makes sense!

[Rev En Fuego]

your deck name
Creatures 13 4 Wall of Omens 4 Knight of the Reliquary 3 Baneslayer Angel 1 Emraukul, the Aeons Torn 1 Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre Spells 17 4 Cascading Sunlight 3 Treasure Hunt 3 Jace, the Mind Sculptor 3 Day of Judgement 2 Summoning Trap 1 Realms Uncharted 1 Oblivion Ring	Lands 30 4 Misty Rainforest 3 Marsh Flats 2 Scalding Tarn 1 Arid Mesa 2 Stirring Wildwood 2 Celestial Colonnade 3 Sejiri Steppe 2 Seaside Citadel 3 Island 4 Forest 4 Plains	15 Sideboard 4 Emeria Angel 4 Kor Firewalker 3 Naturalize 2 All Is Dust 2 Oblivion Ring

Same deal, a couple of changes. Pulled out Explore for Wall of Omens. 1 Treasure Hunt for a Realms Uncharted and pulled the Emeria Angels for Summoning Traps and Eldrazi.

Thoughts?

Keeping the Emeria Angels in the SB, just because I don't like Consuming Vapors.

Not sure realms uncharted is ever going to do what you want it to. Your lands all kind of do different things so your opponent is going to have an easy time putting the ones that would hurt them in the yard.

Also Summoning Trap into one of two guys seems pretty loose.

I can summoning trap into 13 guys, and can hardcast if it gets late. I am seeing how they work, and I wanna play a godzilla critter.

Realms is more for thinning the deck. I have used it in a couple of fashions to grab 4 different saclands (I wanna drop 1 marsh flats for another Arid Mesa). It's not intended to grab manlands or sejiri's ...

Jace makes hitting easier. Also eot baneslayer or kotr isn't a terrible deal. Seems to me like you want some amount of halimar depths though, and is all is dust going to be better than martial coup? Deck seems loose, can't really put my finger on what it is precisely but it's there. Could just be my hatred of captured sunlight.

Captured Sunlight is such an MVP in it, though.

I went for All is Dust over MC, mainly because of Sunlight. They are 2 more DoJ, colorless, just in case of controlly (Iona) decks.

I'd probably add 1 edge/1statuary for realms shenanigans even though you are only running 1. I think your mana base can def take a couple colorless lands from experience with a few different 28+ land decks.
