...Alright, perhaps these are way too good for that. Tainted pact is at least.

Not sure how you dodge the fact, that you have basic lands in your deck ?
Spoils won't work without Angel's Grace or something

You know, for some reason I have never noticed that about Tainted Pact

I always thought it was nonland.

 

[Chris Taylor]

Tainted pact is still great in a fair way

 

[Dom Harvey]

5 basics
5 snow-covered basics
6 non-basics

In what order do you guys put these from best to worst?

 

[Chris Taylor]

Treespeaker is probably the strongest if your opponent doesn't have removal to kill it in response to leveling it up.

Other than that, I think Arbor Elf is slightly stronger, since it has the temple garden upside

 

[ahadabans]

Thanks. I may only have room for one and I was leaning Arbor. But I really like Llanowar from a nostalgic angle, so I don't know. I actually dislike Joraga as I've had him die to removal in response to level and I really hate losing essentially two turns to a darkblast. I was curious how others viewed it though.

 

[RavebornMuse]

Joraga died to removal too often in response to level-up, which was a massive feel-bad. Now that I've been toning down my cube, I've considered pulling her back in, but for now, I like Arbor for the upside with mana enchants/duals.

 

[safra]

I've been on the edge of including Arbor Elf for a little bit now, since I think my format wants another elf. It's a powerful, good card.

 

[Eric Chan]

I'm on double Arbor Elf, because of the double Utopia Sprawl synergy! ...Yeah, it's dicey, I don't care.

 

[Ferritovore]

Go go blue/green untapper deck

Yeah, I have too much nostalgia to ever cut Llanowar. If I had to choose I'd go with that, then Arbor second. Joraga seems technically strongest but is sort of inelegant as a card. In fact, I think it's time for me to bench Joraga for something more interesting.

 

[Chris Taylor]

pfft y'all are hilarious. the second elvish mystic was released I cut llanowar elves and added 2 of him, out of spite

 

[Laz]

Psshh. Who needs Mana elves?

 

[vennythekid]

Clearly, we're not doing this right:

T1 --> T2 ?? --> T3 --> Omnomnom humans!

The Temple Garden upside, aka the Horizon Canopy downside.

that is a 4 color deck punish it

I mean you started me off on 3 already, and it looks like you've got one of the better 1 drops to be running in a 4 color deck

What's that? Dorks that tap for and obviously incentivize you to run a strict deck.

I figured that a dork tapping for would be the perfect fit for a creature.

If only it pitched to force...

Falkenrath kind of scuttlemutts it.
