So I have been trying to pilot this deck for a while now, and Im having a hard time...so I figured I would post on here and see if anybody has any ideas....
Heres the new decklist IM working with...
2 Windswept Heath
3 Polluted Delta
4 Tropical Island
1 Riftstone Portal
1 Library of Alexandria
1 Island
1 Forest
1 Strip Mine
4 Wasteland
4 Bazaar of Baghdad
1 Mox Emerald
1 Mox Sapphire
1 Black Lotus
4 Chalice of the Void
4 Null Rod
4 Force of Will
4 Accumulated Knowledge
3 Daze
1 Brainstorm
1 Ancestral Recall
1 Mystical Tutor
1 Hurykll's Recall
1 Echoing Truth
1 Time Walk
3 Life from the Loam
4 Tarmogoyf
3 Lorescale Coat

I took Squee, Intution out, added the 4th Null Rod/Chalice, and put Daze in....

Thoughts?

personaly i would cut the bazzars,loams,riftstone portal,and ak's.I dont think bazzars fit the deck once "you whip out your snake" he is going to grow regardless.Maybe you could put standstills in auto makes him a 6/6.i think the ak's are useless without intuion.Just my 2 cents

You can't take the Loam mechanic out of the deck...it along with the Waste/Strip is the main way I disable opponents. I agree AK isn't great...maybe Standstil is a better option.

As far as the Remora version goes, I tried playing the 'Medi-mora' deck a while back, and it is SAVAGE...until you hit a rogue deck or Ichorid...and then it just craps out...maybe the Snake is just what it needs...

Perhaps Impulse or Strategic Planning in place of AK? Only problem with those is they do not pump Snake, but Planning DOES pump goyf.
