Saga Storm vs Lands

Updated today

Lands relies heavily on Wasteland and Ghost Quarter-style land destruction plus Dark Depths for a 20/20 Marit Lage token, and our manabase is thin on true lands already, so we swap in Talon Gates of Madara, which can phase out their Marit Lage token or any other key creature on entry while still functioning as a mana source. This is a land-for-land swap to avoid weakening our manabase. The rest of our deck's speed is already favored here since Lands is a slower, grindy strategy; our goal is simply to resolve Infernal Tutor or Necrodominance before their lock pieces like The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale matter.

Bring In
+2 Talon Gates of Madara
Take Out
−2 Swamp
