This article was published July 23, 2010. Valakut Ramp has been making waves in the competitive Magic: The Gathering scene, proving the immense power of Primeval Titan. Recent tournament results in Japan and the U.S. have seen multiple Valakut Ramp decks securing top spots, showcasing the strategy’s effectiveness.

This deck leans into green ramp spells to accelerate land drops, enabling explosive late-game plays with Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle. With adjustments like replacing Bloodbraid Elf with Avenger of Zendikar, the deck has evolved into a formidable contender. Let’s dive into the details of how this archetype is dominating the metagame.

It seems like Primeval Titan is proving its price worth. Valakut Ramp decks have been gaining top spots recently, both online and offline. The recent PTQs in Japan and in the US show at least four of these decks in the top 8. As of the build, they’ve removed the Bloodbraid elves and the bolts and replaced them with the powerful green titan and the Avenger of Zendikar. Here’s a list that got 1st from the recent Magic-League trial tourney.
