Possible Deck Update —July 16, 2012

Idea:

-2 Lure -2 Engulfing Slagwurm


+2 Fruition +1 Pelakka Wurm +1 Primordial Hydra

or +1 Fruition +1 Primordial Hydra +2 Nourish

Wow! 32 lands!? You need to reduce that, by like, 10 lands. The ONLY reason I owuld ever justify more than 22-24 lands for this deck is if you were running a lot of X costing creatures like Primordial Hydra and such. Even then more than 24 is excessive.

Your play style for this deck tells me it's themes are life gain and ramp. If so here is what I suggest:

-3 Evolving Wilds

-3 Terramorphic Expanse s

-4 Forests

-2 Harmony of Nature s

-4 Orochi Sustainer s

-2 Pelakka Wurm s

-2 Fruition s

This brings your deck down to 60.

( will make improvement suggestions next post )

Ooh Thanks a bunch, That is the kind of comment I was looking for. If you think this one has a lot of land, you should see my golem deck. -_- lol. It needs even more help than this one lol. The Unstoppable Golem Force Should I run 2 of the Primordial Hydra ? It looks like a good card for this type of deck. I will look towards making the removals that you suggested.

Oh definitely run two Primordial Hydra s. It would suck if the first got Doom Blade d with no way to retrieve it.

Ah I kept getting that the server was down when I was posting. Thanks, this really helps. One question. What about my life gain? Will only 10 cards be sufficient enough? That was why I was running 4 Pelakka Wurm s.

For retrieval from the graveyard, thats why I was running the 4 Evolution Charm . Then I could use it for land or retrieving a creature that I lost.

True but you wanna focus more on ramping with the huge creatures you have in this deck. You don't wanna end up needing a ramp spell and end up drawing a life gain. If you are still unsure, try throwing in one or two of Engulfing Slagwurm s

You are right. I am still new to MTG. Hmmm I will look into that card too. Two of these could seem really powerful. Would it be better for me to just block with it? I know if I attack, they are going to use a 1/1 or something to block it.

Well if you wanna take the approach I love to take, throw in a couple Lure s. Enchant the Slagwurm, then swing and all creatures that are able to block on your opponent's side MUST block it, effectively triggering Engulfing Slagwurm 's ability that many times, destroying them all and giving you huge amounts of life, all while leaving your other big green beasts open for their Life :)

If you do end up adding the Slagwurm, I'd suggest removing the two Fruition , or you could drop the 4 Nourish and add two Engulfing Slagwurm s and two Lure s.

Seems like a good idea, but my health will probably be getting low by this time and I won't be able to heal much until I get him. And with 2 of each the chances of getting both in the same game are low right?

July 4, 2012 11:16 a.m.

Well with all the ramping you'll be thinning out your deck, increasing those chances. Plus with Fruition you'd be gaining more life after all the ramping than 6. Test playing the deck you actually wanna focus more on the Hydras, cause once those bad boys get out, if left unchecked, get BIG ( a 36/36 with trample big , in a matter of a couple turns

Alright I will give that a shot. Should I play test it against another slower style of deck or something like my infect deck? The infect deck can be ridiculous. Primordial Hydra is OP :). Oh and have you looked at my mess of a golem deck yet? Either that or my deck:you-cant-hurt-me-but-i-can-hurt-you. I think the golem deck is in worse shape though. Haha...Thanks for all the help

July 4, 2012 11:48 a.m.

Yeah I saw the Golem deck...was a nightmare o_o Anyway, try going up against mid range decks and decks with a slightly fast paced game.
