Josu Vess, The Stowaway, Our Saproling Lich Overlord

Ramp fast and make Zombie Saproling Creature tokens.

I like this deck even more than my Elf Ramp Aggro deck.

[Roet]

I think Panharmonicon is rather an overkill then engine in this deck (works only with jossu), you should probably add some 2cmc token making spells and more songs of freyalise instead of 2cmc mana dorks

+Roet I second that, playing 4 jossu seems crazy to start with

+Roet so the Panharmonicon removal is a good suggestion. I will take it out. The reason for the 2 cmc mana dorks are for kicker and Mana fixing. Servant is for anointed procession, and Elfhame Druid is for turn 3 kicked Growing Ashes and turn 4 kicked Josu Vess. As for 4 copies of Josu, he is good for his kicker ability in this deck, so even if I have one on the battlefield, I still get kicker bonus from other one. I'll add Saproling Migration instead of the Panharmonicons.

Revision 2

Added/removed cards:
-2 Panharmonicon
+2 Saproling Migration

[Trunksshe]

Is 4 Josu really necessary? Have you run it yet and have had issues getting him? I was thinking maybe using 2 instead.

Gotta say though, I think I prefer your build over mine, but I wanna play it out and see, which will take a few weeks of testing the elf route.

[damatovg7]

The reason behind 4 Josu's is because there is no harm in running any less. If I cast the first one, (which can be done on Turn 4 btw), I can cast him again the turn after if I have him and end up with 16 tokens on turn 5. Better to have him than not.
