Adding M11 cards to constructed - what would you choose?

[jatill]

If you had a choice of 10 M11 cards to take from the Limited version and add to the Constructed version, what would they be? Which cards would you remove from Constructed to make space?

[Brandon822]

Take away:

Benalish Hero --- Banding
Greater Realm of Preservation --- Boring as hell, like all CoP's.
Battle of Wits --- Casual
Gaseous Form --- Bad
Execute --- Sideboard
Slay --- Sideboard
Sizzle --- There are much better choices.
Desperate Ritual --- Seething Song is enough.
Aspect of Wolf --- Blanchwood Armor is better.
Pale Bears --- Sideboard

Put in:

Ajani's Pridemate --- Good.
Sun Titan --- Why not?
Inferno Titan --- Why not?
Fling --- Surprise kill material.
Primeval Titan --- Why not?
Stormtide Leviathan --- I see potential and it's fun.
Demon of Death's Gate --- Win at any cost. Fits in black style.
Phylactery Lich --- Better that Juzam Djinn and safer than Phyrexian Negator.
Grave Titan --- Why not?
Crystal Ball --- Just good.

Mmm, I don't think removing Juzam Djinn or Desperate Ritual is a good choice. Artifacts like Delif's Cone, Urza's Milter, pay-1-and-gain-1-life-when-card-is-buried cycle, Ashnod's Transmogrant, 2HG cards like the ones Brandon mentioned (Sizzle, Inquisition), sideboard cards; are useless in the game. They should be considered to be removed.

Angelic Arbiter (fun card)
Armored Ascension (very nice card)
Brittle Effigy (decent removal, though we might not need this sort of thing in constructed)
Crystal Ball (great in so many decks, less hassle than sensei's top)
Ember Hauler (awesome goblin)
Garruk's Companion (awesome weenie)
Phylactery Lich (awesome 3-drop)
Serra Ascendant (awesome in certain decks)
Vengeful Archon (fun card)
Sun Titan (best titan)

Remove:
Abomination
Active Volcano
Akron Legionnaire
Alabaster Wall
Amulet of Kroog
Anaba Shaman
Anaba Spirit Crafter (sorry minotaur theme decks!)
Angel of Mercy
Animate Wall
Ardent Militia

LOL didn't even get through the As before finding 10 that suck

[madlib420]

I'm at work, so I can't suggest removals, though I imagine I'll agree with most put up here.

As for what to put in:

Grave Titan - Constructed Worthy titan
Primeval Titan - See above
Inferno Titan - See above
Ember Hauler - Good goblin
Obstinate Baloth - Quality green 4-drop
Fauna Shaman - Do I need to really explain this one?
Preordain - Moar library manipulation please.
Day of Judgment - I like the idea of another wrath effect for challenges.
Cultivate - Same reason as DoJ
Aether Adept - Again, for challenges

Just a quickie post.

Keep Gaseous Form - useful - it cripples large creature attacks.

If one card could go it would be Zuran Spellcaster. The card is identical to Prodigal Sorcerer, and there’s little point in having two identical cards.

[Cognis]

All titans, Squadron Hawk, Ember Hauler and I have no special preference for the rest.

[monopoman]

Fauna Shaman for sure that card is so good get this Legacy Survival decks are now running...

4x Fauna Shaman
4x Survival of the Fittest

Yeah that's right 8 survival effects with Shaman clearly being weaker then Survival itself.

[Broolex]

Liliana's Caress (to use with Megrim and Burning Inquiry)
Jace's Erasure
Ajani's Pridemate
Preordain
Sun Titan
Grave Titan
Call to Mind
Fauna Shaman
Serra Ascendant
Phylactery Lich


And Pyromancer Ascencion, for the new Pyromancer deck!

Thanks!

Use the "Remove" list from Aww1979, those cards are awful.
Use the "Add" list from madlib420, I would really like to play all of those except add Brittle Effigy over Obstinate Baloth.
