Created: Wed Jul 27 14:52:54 UTC 2022 Design philosophy: Try to resolve a second turn Argothian or draw engine, and concentrate on utilizing various strategies based on lands (Molten Vortex, Valakut Exploration). Make space from creatures that don't draw or interact with lands. The deck has more of those than usual. Check design ideas/synergies also from aggro loam and loam control.

Discard outlet for Replenish) +1 The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale (dubious, as the build has tokens and 1/1s) -1 Earthcraft (do I have enough creatures for this) -1 Squirrel's Nest (combos with Earthcraft, Opposition. Produces chump blockers. Edit: cut Earthcraft, so this needs to go as well) -1 Swords to Plowshares (saturating the build with enchantments as we strive for Argothian opening) -1 Conclave Tribunal -1 Omen of the Sun (with Opposition) -1 Veil of Summer (have to play in Finnish meta) 1 Court of Grace (Monarch) 1 Parallax Wave (Combo with Opalescence) +1 Barbarian Ring -1 Suppression Field (Silver bullet, against planeswalkers.

Any combos for this?) -1 Imprisoned in the Moon -1 Birds of Paradise -1 Deathrite Shaman -1 Noble Hierarch -1 Avacyn's Pilgrim -1 Herald of Pantheon +1 Once Upon a Time (eats an enchantment slot, but deck has more creatures and lands than normal echantress builds)
