[MTG] valakutramp.t2.dek
 
yay for a format of thread titles I can work with!

-9- Creatures

-4- Dragonmaster Outcast
-4- Scute Mob
-1- Apocalypse Hydra

-27- Other Spells

-4- Harrow
-4- Everflowing Chalice
-4- Khalni Heart Expedition
-4- Comet Storm
-4- Banefire
-4- Explore
-3- Expedition Map

-24- Lands

-4- Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle
-12- Mountain
-8- Forest

The deck ramps into a bunch of mountains to ping off creatures; then, once you have the lands you need, play the creatures and start wreaking havoc on the board. Once your opponent starts wasting all their removal, kick the Chalices a million times and setup for a giant Banefire / Comet Storm.

I don't quite have the ideal setup for this deck, but I have the ramp spells, the lands and the Chalices, which help make for a huge fireworks show.

Let me know what you think! :)

the deck really wants the map and 28 lands (4 more mountans). I find scute mob and dragon guy useless because they die to whatever removal my opp is holding. It's kinda bad because of that. I would prefer to get rid of those for either more creature control, or something that will make the combo more resilient.

Land count is fine as it is, but really, Valakut Ramp doesn't need 8 green sources.
4 Terramorphics and 1 Jund Panorama replacing 5 forests is enough.

Although two is the optimal number of forests, I like having the third, since there are times you need to sac it for Harrow.

As for the creature choice... I find it interesting. But no BBEs?
And your alternative win con being the massive burn spell is really cool, actually. I've never seen a build like it before.

[edit]
I'll be posting my Valakut Ramp soon enough.
Just tweaking the big red alternative finisher guy. Either Charger of Gang-Commander, though Phoenix seems like a good contender as a sweeper on a stick.

The problem with Bloodbraid Elf is that it will often cascade into Comet Storm or Banefire and screw one of my wincons over...:|
