I actually do use
Snow-Covered Forest in the deck, I've made the change in the Decklist.
Underworld Breach, and Thoracle Consultation can be responded with
Endurance, what I do when playing against other faster players is hold back a little the verse 3 so I can respond to a quick win like that. You have to rely on stax pieces at the beginning to get the Yisan engine running, decks that run Thoracle Consultation usually don’t respond that we to creature spells and searching in verse one for
Sylvan Safekeeper is your best defense through the entire game.
Aven Mindcensor, Linvala and
Containment Priest are strong
weakness for this deck, that is why I run
Kogla, the Titan Ape,
Somberwald Stag,
Ulvenwald Tracker,
Song of the Dryads,
Lignify,
Beast Within and
Mouth of Ronom to take care of that cards.
Usually other players are more invested on searching and protecting their combos, or holding back answers for other player combos and don’t focus that much in the mono green deck, that is what I love about Yisan, once you can protect it from being targeted, you don’t have to cast anything else for the resto of the game and just respond with its ability.
I don’t use
Exploration because this deck ramps very fast and
Burgeoning is much better choice because you can use it to bounce a
forest and play it every turn, the same is true with
Sakura-Tribe Scout but I took it out to make room for stronger new cards in the deck.
Finally, I wouldn’t use
Heroic Intervention although is a great card for Boardwipes, because I focus on single target answers like
Veil of Summer and
Autumn’s Veil.
Nature’s Claim is one more piece to remove Artifacts or enchantments and the decks has a lot of it already I could addition
Blast Zone…
