Talisman of Unity

I'd recommend that you replace all of those lands ramp spells that cost more than 2 with more mana rocks instead! Your guild signets ( Selesnya Signet , Orzhov Signet & Golgari Signet ) & talismans ( Talisman of Hierarchy , Talisman of Resilience & Talisman of Unity ) are all better options since this isn't a Landfall deck.

The deck has been running well when I draw the right cards, but stalls out or is clunky when I don't draw good cards. I think the best starting point to smooth the deck out is by reducing the amount of counterspells to open up room for smoother mana (in the form of mana rocks), spells that asymmetrically counteract something but benefit me, and some stronger walls that - although will cost more - will have better payoffs. That all being said, here's the ins/outs.

A lot of card swaps which we'll test out. Some may get reversed back in. That's the fun of developing a deck over time!

Could do with some more Mana rocks and ramp, Farseek , Lay of the Land and Rampant Growth are always a good choice for any sort of green deck. Might be worth checking out the likes of Fellwar Stone , Gilded Lotus or some of the talismans like Talisman of Unity . Great looking deck, hope it gets its wins in!

Ill stick to just the mana base for now. Far too many of your lands enter the battlefield tapped. This will make your deck extremely slow, even against pre-constructed decks. I suggest that you swap in some basic lands, and cut ETB tapped lands like Tranquil Cove . You can make up for the lack of color fixing with the "talisma" mana rock cycle.

Talisman of Curiosity , Talisman of Progress , and Talisman of Unity . I think they're better in your deck than the signets. Also, if you need color fixing after diluting your lands, you can try a few effects. Dryad of the Ilysian Grove is a favorite, and so is Chromatic Lantern .

Also I'm not a fan of Frilled Mystic in this deck, wayyy too color intensive even with fixing effects.

Further, the single Walk the Aeons is the only piece of that combo in your deck. I suggest adding some more extra turns spells so the combo can resolve through graveyard hate, countermagic, or just bad luck. Additionally, some instant/sorcery tutors would be good. Solve the Equation is a good budget option, but Mystical Tutor is an even better tutor.

I also suggest asking your play group if they would be OK with proxying cards so you can get a feel for the format. Get a high quality printer (like at a library) and find a site that lets you print proxies. I like deckstats. net.

Atarka's Command , Tibalt, Rakish Instigator , and Leyline of Punishment are all good ways to keep your friend from gaining life from pinging you, then you can bonk him with dragons to the dome.

Orbs of Warding and Witchbane Orb are both excellent for giving you hexproof, making him unable to target you with his Commander's ability.

Three Visits and Farseek are great ramp spells that are pretty cheap that can replace some of your more expensive ramp. I'd also definitely advise picking up the Talisman of Unity in your maybe board.

You have a good density of creatures, in particular your dragons. I'd consider cutting some of the higher cost ones that have no immediate impact on the board to sub out for things like Old Gnawbone , Dragon Tempest , Dragonlord's Servant , Utvara Hellkite and Goldspan Dragon , though. These are things that help your gameplan (Dragon storm) and have immediate impact on the board. Some of those are kinda spensive, but #longtermgoals. Shared Animosity is also a nuts card in tribal decks.

As far as i know most Commanderdeck´s play around 32 Land´s + Manarocks. I think something like Sol Ring / Selesnya Cluestone / Selesnya Keyrune / Wildfield Borderpost / Talisman of Unity would be great, but that depend´s on your playstil. They also help a lot fixing your mana supply.

More importend for you to know, you can´t tutor Halvar, God of Battle Flip with card´s like Open the Armory as you mentioned in "The Butter", because as long as Halvar is in your deck/graveyard/exil/hand, he only counts as it´s front side. Tutors will only see the cardtyps of Halvar. The other side of Halvar only appears the moment you cast it.

My friends and I recently banned Sol Ring and Mana Crypt from our playgroup, so I removed them from the deck. I Replaced them with Thraben Inspector , and Talisman of Unity .

Reviews for "The Role of Diversity and Representation in Kazu Kibuishi's 'Amulet"

- John - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with "Kazu Kibuishi's Amulet". The storyline was confusing and hard to follow, and I found it difficult to connect with the characters. The artwork was decent, but it didn't make up for the lackluster plot. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this graphic novel.

- Sarah - 1 star - I couldn't finish reading "Kazu Kibuishi's Amulet". The story seemed unoriginal and cliché, and the dialogue was poorly written. The artwork was the only redeeming quality, but it wasn't enough to keep me interested. I wish I hadn't wasted my money on this book.

- Michael - 2 stars - I had high hopes for "Kazu Kibuishi's Amulet", but it didn't live up to my expectations. The pacing was off, and I felt like the characters weren't fully developed. The artwork was beautiful, but that alone wasn't enough to save the book. I found myself losing interest halfway through and couldn't bring myself to finish it.

- Emily - 2 stars - "Kazu Kibuishi's Amulet" was a letdown for me. The storyline felt formulaic and predictable, and I didn't feel invested in the characters at all. The artwork was impressive, but the lackluster plot and shallow characters overshadowed it. I don't think I'll be continuing with this series.
