"Skyknight gear? Well, I have drake-skin gauntlets, supple and fireproof. Or a ceratok chestplate that'll stop a crossbow bolt."

[left meadow]

and depends on the focused power level, i think some cards can be cut for tutor/consistency or just win-more situational things

currently 19 removal effect is a lot

[smoky kestrel]

Yeah I agree. I don't even remember why I added it in the first place.

[smoky kestrel]

I don't think I know what infinite you are talking about?

[smoky kestrel]

Trying to go for a Bracket 3 deck.

[left meadow]

https://edhrec.com/combos/ivy-lane-denizen most are two cards so i guess not

[smoky kestrel]

Devoted Druid should be in the list.

[left meadow]

guess i missed/forgot it

[smoky kestrel]

I don't see why Jaheira would be considered because the deck has a pretty low curve already. I don't need that much mana.

[left meadow]

if you want to go for more spells or higher curve

idk which direction you want, bracket 3 is kinda an awkward spot

[smoky kestrel]

Yeah idk if bracket 3 is possible with this deck because there are already quite a few 2 card infinites.

[left meadow]

i 've build my decks with the intention of avoiding basically any possible infinites for years because of the antidramatic sudden game ending move

idk what kind of game you aim for with the combos and engine

one of the reason why i never finished my hapatra deck after collecting about a third of the cards for the 99

lower curve/ fast early mana usually leans into more efficient combo and early wins

so if you like big spells because... big spells

then i think it is nice to use all the tokens for mana, hence jaheira

i think the current build is more on value and control? into combo

the control can be improved since lot of those removals arent killing things
