Hello, I've built a deck around the card Fable of Wolf and Owl  , just to try it out. It works alright in the casual deck room, but my main problem is with the early game: 23x Lands13x Forest  2x Plain  3x Brushland  3x Horizon Canopy  2x Reflecting Pool  12x Creatures4x Cold-Eyed Selkie  4x Augury Adept  4x Wistful Selkie  9x Creature Removal/Neutralization3x Oblivion Ring  3x Temporal Isolation  3x Snakeform  Miscellaneous Cards4x Fable of Wolf and Owl - the deck's centrepiece. 4x Manamorphose  - free cantrip for a 56 card deck. 3x Favor of the Overbeing  - gives my creatures evasion, and works especially well with Cold-Eyed Selkie. 3x Search for Tomorrow  - mana acceleration and fixing. 2x Garruk Wildspeaker  - always good. As you can see, the deck really gets going only on or about Turn 3, which makes me vulnerable to blitz decks. I was thinking of trying to fit in some early defence, but I'm not sure what would be best, and I don't know what to take out. All of my creatures give me card advatage, so I don't want to drop them if I can help it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe something like Wall of Roots  would help. It can play defense and accelerate you to 6 mana faster. I also would cut all spells that do not trigger Fable of Wolf and Owl . You need acceleration in order to get to 6 mana, so I wouldn't think that Manamorphose is necessary. Bounce might be another good way to stall here.

Are you trying to keep it STD legal?
Yes please.

Good plan. But I don't own any copies. Are they expensive to get?

The white spells are there because Oblivion Ring and TI can shut down opposing creatures hard. Also, I lack the dual lands necessary to switch completely to GU.

As I mentioned in the post, it's there solely because it makes my deck 56 cards for free. It allows me to draw into Fable faster.

Took some of your advice Hey_Hermano and took out the Manamorphoses for some Llanowar Elves  .The extra energy given to my deck by the added acceleration has really strengthened it in my recent matches. I also swapped out the Search for Tomorrows for Edge of Autumn  , which is just as fast in this deck and has the added advantage of being able to draw me cards in the late game. Thanks!
