However if u wanted to play some extended with this deck you could change Sword to plowshares to Path to exile and change the dust to dust to return to dust or disenchant.

Also another possible change for the deck if u find alot that people keep killing you with sweeper effect that cost 4 or more mana would be to add 2 or 3 Gaddock Teeg to the deck most likely replacing freeeblades.

Now i’ll give you the flip side of what im suggesting. The lands cost 5-6 tix each so aren’t exactly cheap but you’ll play them in ANY deck that uses these colors and if my guess is right you’ll be glad you got them now rather then later.

Path to Exile is at about 3.5 tix each, So pretty costly for removal however its possibally the best removal card in standard right now beyond pulse. You COULD wait 6 months for it to rotate out of standard for it to be cheaper however every format that this card touches its played in so i wouldnt expect a huge drop in price probally a tic MAAAYBE two.

And Teeg is just about 1.5-2 tix each, he’s not really commonly played and more of a casual card but to me personally he’s one of my fav critters of all time just because he hoses thoes people who want to do nothing but play big mana spells all day.( you should hear the mass outcries in the multiplayer room when you drop a teeg)

Pestilence – not sure EXACTLY what u did or how the game went but i’m going to assume here that you loaded the board with creatures and the pestilence blew you out then turn and then it was a rough battle from there on out.

The only suggestion i can say is that over time you’ll learn to get a feel for when players might or most likely have sweeper effects so you’ll learn to hold a creature or two in hand for exactly thoes type of cases. Infact i usually (not in this video and paid for it dearly)count how many turns with my current creatures my opponent has left and if dropping more creatures wont change that if they can manage to kill or block one of my creatures i keep the extra creature in hand. Sometimes that bites me in the butt however it is usually the right play.

For the game vs jitte the only real answers the deck has to that is the pridemages and creature removal to prevent the jitte from getting counters on it but usually it’ll be an insane uphill battle for you.

the G/W deck and rout…ya this deck really hates sweeper effects.

The last deck sounds like a it was a well built deck with alot of money cards if not tourney viable deck so i really can’t say u take any shame in losing to it as this is a budget deck and not ment to win those types type of matches on a regular basis.

Lost to a dredge deck – in one round he brought out several 9/9′s. If we went to best of 3 maybe I could of changed it up.

Died to a pestilence deck. It was an epic match. Had maybe 8 cards in my library left by the end.

Lost to a prismatic 250 card deck that had 2 spiritmongers out by turn 5. I had 2 blades, wolf, and pridemage. I let him through but eventually had to block. Had to block them or I would be toast. I used everything I had. No creature removal drawn.

Lost to a blue black had Tidespout Tyrant out early – which I removed. He cast several Living Death Sorceries that killed all my creatures. He used buried alive. Then he used Borgan Hellkite and I was dead turn 8 or 9.

Next looks like a soldier artifact deck. First card he played was Auriok Steelshape with Skullclamp enchant. I got that off the board and he brought out 2 Boros Swiftblades. At this point I have 27 life he has 7 so I attack and lose a couple creatures to keep pressure. Then out comes Jitte then Banshee’s Blade artifact. Which changes the battle and I end up losing. No more arty removal or creature removal drawn. I may have played to aggresively in this one.

Next opponent had him down to 8 life by turn 4-5 and still I lose. He used rout to clean the table and then slowly heal himself then eventually win. He was white/green. He had Akroma and Selesnya Evangel.

Last was using Sensei’s Divining Top – Forest/Plains and Island/Plains Lands with 2 Noble Hierarch. I started off badly after a mulligan and took a risk thinking I could draw the land I needed. He used Tarmogoyf then Progenitus to clean me up.

I rewatch the replays and trying to learn. I still love this deck and I think it is an affordable way for me to learn the game.

But yes if you don’t win by tun 6-7 then you’re more likely then not fighting a huge uphill battle.

I have to ask what kind of decks have u been playing and losing against?

Have you been aggressively using mulligans to make sure you have the right mana or enough creatures?

Freeblades being replaced by the Savannah lions shouldn’t be an issue and losing 2 loam lions to Savannah type i wouldn’t think would compromise the overall quality of the deck but i can certainly imagine times when the extra 2 toughness would make a world of difference.

Only cards I am missing are 2 free blades and 2 loam lions which I placed with Savannah Lions. Sometimes I have land issues which is strange. Also I noticed if I don’t win within 10 rounds its really hard to win after that.

Like the video – hope you do more!
