This is my current decklist.  The deck feels really, in lack of a better word, uneventful at the moment.

 The plan is to get out seismic assault round 2 with tinder wall or desperate ritual and then use lands to keep me alive until I can resolve a creeping renaissance.  The reason for only 1 scouting trek is that I only have 1.  2 groundskeeper feel about right.  I think I should have had 2 wall of mulch too, to be able to get rid of tinder walls after the game is stable.

2 x Groundskeeper
1 x Wall of Mulch
4 x Tinder Wall

4 x Armillary Sphere
4 x Desperate Ritual
4 x Lightning Bolt
1 x Scouting Trek
4 x Treasure Hunt
4 x Barrel Down Sokenzan
4 x Seismic Assault
3 x Creeping Renaissance

8 x Forest
2 x Island
14 x Mountain

Depending on your financial situation, Life from the Loam is always a stellar card to mix with Seismic Assault .

Thanks for the suggestion AzureShade.  I currently use my loams in another deck, that's why they aren't in there.  I might have to reconsider what deck to have them in though

Swans of Bryn Argoll is such a sweet combo with seismic assault.

Draw your deck, dome them for 20.

you're running green and have arcane spells, so maybe use Elder Pine of Jukai with some defensive spirit walls like Carven Caryatid or something to make sure you get lands in your had.

Mulch also seems like a great card for this deck

Those suggestions really made my head spin! :P  And I just came up with the funniest deck idea ever! Double thanks! I have a playset of elder pine of jukai, I must give that a shot.  It's too bad I don't have any swans, it would actually be playable in the same deck since it's a spirit.

I guess it's time for a restructuring of my deck.  I didn't want to make yet another deck with trade routes

If you are foing to forget the forests you should definetly think about a bit more blue. jace's archivist can make a burn deck nasty whn you are using wheels.

White would give you some enchantment tutoring. I would seriously hate running x4 of an enchnatment I never wanted to see 2 at once of. (thouigh a few draw/discard efects would certainly mitigate this such as faithless looting )

Rob is that you?  If not I know a guy who ends up using Trade Routes in all kinds of decks, and this is the exact kind of Johnny-ness I knew him for

I have played magic a long time and one card I have tried to 'break' is the assault.


When I tried to break that card I loved the synergy of Storm Cauldron had in the deck and it served double duty by enabling the assault while disrupting your opponents who have issues dealing with the cauldron bounce.  this also works really well with Mana Flare  and Life From the Loam which would replace Land Tax in my deck that I had built.  Along with Life I would also add Glacial Chasm as method of surviving all but alpha strikes.

Just my 2 cents and good luck with the deck
