Hello, I'm currently constructing a Gishath Deck, and stumble onto your version. Care to explain why you took out Smothering Tithe? From what I've seen that is the card that allows multiple decks to go from lots of mana to TONS of mana, which would allow for multiple Gishath casts.
Any opininon on The Great Henge, and Return of the Wildspeaker? They seem good additions from Eldraine.
Hi there, thank you very much for the response and the really interesting questions; I'm glad you asked 'cause I'm always open to tips and new ideas! I made these choices primarily for two reasons: my playgroup and my budget. Starting with
Return of the Wildspeaker, very flexible instant to
catch off-guard your opponents and AGAIN card advantage, I still have thoughts because I don't know what to cut from my list (
Overwhelming Stampede?) but I encourage you to put it in yours. Then,
The Great Henge is just an amazing card, perfect for casting it for only GG after Gishath, giving you mana AND card advantage, I'm waiting only for the price to drop a little (like my hopes for a cheap
Mirari's Wake...). Finally, on
Smothering Tithe and partially on the previous enchantment, my 5 friends/opponents -and anyone else I suppose- don't particularly like being outvalued and destroyed, so in the exact moment that card hits the table the game turns in Archenemy mode. I still play it in my Varina deck for the lack of ramp and is simply absurd, a must for every list with white in it, but in this case I can survive without it!
