Wizards Preconstructed Deck from Planeshift
A five-color deck without any one land that can produce multiple colors? A deck that's over half lands and land-fetching effects? Can a deck like that work? It can, and the Domain deck is a blast to play!
Because all the "domain" cards depend on how many basic land types you have in play, this deck focuses on getting at least one of each basic land into play. The best color for solving mana problems is green, so the deck contains more forests than any other basic land.
Quirion Trailblazer
,
Primal Growth
, and Harrow are all important for getting basic lands into play. You'll find that playing Harrow can often mean the difference between winning and losing.
Once you have all five basic land types in play, the fun begins. You'll probably take some damage early in the game, but the Domain deck contains some cards to help you recover.
Wandering Stream
will often gain you eight or ten life, and
Exotic Disease
can close the gap between your life total and your opponent's. At just 1,R,
Tribal Flames
could deal 5 damage to an annoying creature (or your opponent). The star of the domain show is
Allied Strategies
. For just 4,U, you could draw five cards! Your creatures certainly aren't slouches, either. Once all five basic lands are in order,
Wayfaring Giant
hits the table at 6/8, and
Stratadon
is a menacing 5/5 for five mana.
Domain includes a few cards that aren't true domain cards, but they work well in the deck. The "dragon charms" are great utility spells. Between
Rith's Charm
and
Treva's Charm
, you can solve almost any problem you'll face.
Magnigoth Treefolk
is a big, unblockable creature that begs to be enchanted with
Strength of Unity
. Quirion Dryad can grow to huge proportions over the course of the game.
To improve the deck, you could take out some creatures and add more
Tribal Flames
and other creature-control spells. If you're fond of playing creatures, take out some of the catch-up spells and replace them with the best creatures in any color.
