7/2/2023 0 Comments Druid city retreat![]() ![]() It’s definitely doing what I want and is doing well. The tweaks have made the deck perform much better. I went over the additions and cuts in the previous edit, so I wont get into those here. I’ll put a last edit up soon on the sideboard and replace the pic with the updated version of the deck.ĮDIT 3 (final): The maindeck is finished and I’ve replace the above pic with the final list. If not for banding, the Serra would have put me on lock down and probably would have ended the game. Just yesterday I traded a Timber Wolves for a Serra Angel. Banding is something I think mono G could really benefit from and so far it’s worked well. The deck is now doing what I want it to simply pumping out small creatures under Winter Orb with a bit of synergy from Nafs Asp, and a ton of combat tricks. The Spitting Slug actually worked against me during one game against Pestilence, the Ghazban Ogres were often held in hand for fear of his drawback, the Factory’s were a nonbo with Winter Orb, and the Scavenger Folk were often just vanilla 1/1’s and I felt 2 would suffice. ![]() The other cuts were not hard to let go of. The second crumble is also nice just having a bit more removal. Maze of Ith should be fine and help punch through for damage and save an attacker or fend off a big creature. Pendelhaven is such a great card, so I felt I needed at least a third copy. Between the Archers first strike, more pump from Wyluli Wolves, and the Timber Wolves’ banding, I have more combat trickery to play with. Cutting the Ernies was not easy, but can be and usually is a dead card if Winter Orb is already in play. I haven’t had time to test it much, but the Timber Wolves have allowed me to trade weenies with fatties using banding, which is great. The creature count has upped to 30 and the curve tops out at 2cc. I’ve dropped the 3 Mishras Factory’s and 2 Forest’s as well as cut all 3 Ehrnam Djinn, the lone Spitting Slug, 2 Scavenger Folk, and all 4 Ghazban Ogre for Maze of ith, a 3rd Pendelhaven, 4 Wyluli Wolf, 4 Timber Wolves, 4 Evlish Archers, and a 2nd Crumble. The sideboard is still under construction. I thought it might be fun to keep edits on how the deck evolves here, if anyone is even coming back to this post.ĮDIT 2: I’ve done some tweaking and think I have the maindeck where I want it, or close to it at least. Just some glaring deficiencies I noticed. I’d also really love to play Typhoon in the board as well. A Sylvan Library or two in the board sounds good in place of the Hurricanes. In place of the Factory’s I’m thinking a Maze of Ith may be nice and some Elvish Archers. Also, unless I’m boarding out Winter Orb, the Hurricanes in the sideboard are not doing much either. Our mission is to support the well-being of all living things and provide a space for people to explore whatever spiritual path to which they are drawn.EDIT: After looking at the list over the past couple of days I’ve realized I could probably cut all of the Mishra’s Factory as they don’t work well with Winter Orb. Folks join us on private retreats as well, during which they may meditate with our monks in the temple, walk our lavender labyrinth or read a book by the pond. We host a variety of retreats throughout the year- many Buddhist or Druid in nature, but also yoga, qigong, Chinese medicine, dance and music. You will find rows of vegetable beds lush with greens in the spring/summer and fruit trees dripping with pears, apples and plums in the fall. The land was originally a farm, and while our flower gardens and landscaping embellish the sacred spaces, we continue this relationship to the soil as a WSDA certified organic producer. Kirk Thomas initially created this dynamic 23 acre sanctuary as a home for their two faiths and a place for people of all beliefs to find peace. The Abbey is the product of a 20-year friendship between a Zen Buddhist monk and a Druid priest. ![]()
