Yes that small bonus saved my creatures many times.... Also can help a renown colossus to not waste all that damage on a small defender or sometimes to get renown through the trample damage What I have doubts about is mostly conclave/elemental bond/silvan messenger Probably will remove conclave and elemental if I get 2 out of 3 cards I am looking for.

Throw in more support to perma-buff Blessed Spirits, e.g. Murder Investigation and Suppression Bonds. Knightly Valor is nice for a quick 4/4 with buff after the Knight token is destroyed. Each casting is a +2/+2 to Blessed Spirits. Then, if you have Suppression Bonds, you throw in Swift Reckoning for removal. Just my 2 cents.

Hard_Casting wrote: Reclaim Nissa: Reclaim screams broken to me. Basically it ramps you 4-5 mana depending on what you sacrifice (In my deck it is usually either Honored Hierarch or Elvish Visionary because they cost 5 or 6 and Reclaim costs so that's 8-9 mana costing, but both of those creatures have utility on their own that ramp you to lessen that cost). Herald of the Pantheon also seems broken to me, along with Animist's Awakening (My Nissa is not high enough level to the point where I can run both of those, as I can only run one spell). So here is the list: Reclaim Nissa's Pilgrimmage Elvish Visionary Elemental Bond Honored Hierarch Herald of the Pantheon Concave Naturalists Skysnare Spider Dwynen Gilt-Leaf Daen Woodland Bellower I wish I had Sylvan Messenger and Gaea's Revenge, because they would probably be in here.
Hard_Casting wrote: Hierarch is not bad for reclaim actually, as if you need the mana you can get it. It's the best low drop I can play, and if I need to reclaim it I will. Any small creatures is a good target for Reclaim.

Both my reach creature go to 9 thoughness with it meaning are able to face a 6/6 and survive. If I manage to put it on colossus is almost guaranteed win.
