Defense Grid is better than Leyline of Lifeforce in non-Hasty builds. This is because Leyline still doesn't stop them from countering buffs.

But if you run Solifuges, Groundbreakers, or Timbermares, it's fine.

@DarkAvatar1018
You use Drake like a creature, not like a Shock.

Think about it this way. He's a Skarrgan Pit-Skulk with a built-in Moldervine Cloak, except does 4 damage distributed over two turns instead of one. Only downside is that you lose the Skulk if you don't Cloak him; but a Skulk is useless without Cloak most of the times anyways.

@VGN
Yes. Groundbreaker is a finisher against aggro, a starter against control; unless you have Ledgewalker and Armor, then you drop him first.

@FunkyRatDemon
You should still run Moldervine Cloak. Cut Dryad Sophisticate and a Might of Old Krosa. You can cut a Remand and Stonewood for another 2 creatures, I'm thinking Flying Men, which is a great one drop; or Drifter il-Dal, but that screws over your hope of Remand. Or you can run 3 Moldervine Cloak.

My reasoning is that you don't have enough buff to make each of your creatures worthwhile, and I don't think you have enough creatures and refill (Harmonize, Keen Sense), to mindlessly bash your way to victory, especially if they get chump blocked, Unstable Mutation is unstable for a reason.

I don't like Leyline because drawing two hurts you alot. I like Grid because drawing two helps you alot. Leyline protects only your creatures. Grid defends all of your spells.

See the basic logic?

The onyl downside to Grid is that you can't pump your creatures out of turn (not a problem if you run Might of Old Krosa)

And yes, 4 Scryb Ranger is mandatory for every deck except Hasty. She's too good not to be used. She and Ledgey are the two cards that carry Evasion, along with the 8 Armor core.

But I don't like logic! It makes my head hurt...

And is there anything better than Scryb Ranger?

...maybe I should take out two groundbreakers...they often get in the way....
Does pie come with it?
And should I exchange the giant growth's with MoOK?

Last time I checked, people still play nonbasic lands. Dyrad has always proven its weight in salt. Might of Old Krosa has proved itself awesome, I'm never unhappy to draw into it. 25 Creatures is plenty for me. BoP originally was Flying Men, yet the mana accel I felt was needed. Drifter is horrible, its upkeep cost is hard for this deck. Unstable Mutation is quicker then Moldervine, thats why I prefer it. Keen Sense and Harmonize i don't feel give enough band for th commitment; Keen Sense albeit good, still doesn't pump, so is not for me; Harmonize means "Don't play a creature spell this turn" so i on't use it (its not Aggro-Control).

a 2/1 creature for 2 with only evasion deosn't seem to be good enough for the current build. They die to every removal, and cards like scryb ranger have another ablitty, and pro blue. having scryb and ledgewalker as 2 drops is better.

archetype name is needed for findig it easily as long
