Ravnica invasion —Nov. 5, 2012

So now that I've added new cards and new play its time to restart the convo . Don't forget to play test and +1's are appreciated .

So here's an idea... have you thought about adding in a Hamlet Captain or 3? Reasons be if you don't have a chance to get all those tokens out and beef up your Champion of Lambholt when Hamlet Captain swings it'll give all your other humans counters until end of turn making your Champion of Lambholt even tougher... even if it's just till end of turn it's AWESOME!

Had that happen to me the other night :P

Turn 5 Champion of Lambholt swings with 3 other creatures (2 of which were Hamlet Captain ) making the it a 3/3 I only had one other creature on the field that could block that nonsense... game over turn 6 :(

GREAT COMBO THO!

@ darth trevon - that's an amazing add I will try my best to add this card and see what it can do. Il let you know soon since fnm is tnrw thanks for the advice. I was also considering mayor of avabruck but idk he never turned out to be useful but hamlet is a 2/2 which makes him harder to kill. If you can think of anything else let me know .

Alright I'm just gonna throw out what I would do with this and you'll just have to deal with it. Don't listen to these people. Cathar's Crusade is horrible. I think you should put all the O-rings maindeck. I think primal hunter is bad. I would take him out and go with at least 2 Garruk Relentless  Flip . I think you should playset Geist-Honored Monk and have that be your biggest thing. I think Fungal Sprouting def. has a place here especially after you playset monk. I think you need Gather the Townsfolk . Increasing Savagery is an awesome card( I play it in my deck U/G Savaged Stalker , but it's not for this deck. I would put at least one shimmering grotto in there to smooth out the possibility to play Lingering Souls . I would take out Mikaeus, the Lunarch , Nearheath Pilgrim , Serra Avenger and Sigarda, Host of Herons . I would put a playset of Intangible Virtue in. You would def. benefit from switching the Llanowar Elves for Birds of Paradise . I really like the inclusion of Revenge of the Hunted in this as a way to both kill creatures with a token and to use as a final to let the rest of your army through, so keep that. I think I've given you enough to think about for now.

@knownasnieves

I am just adding that combo in a deck that I'm in the process of building! Mayor of Avabruck  Flip is a great card for beefing up humans, but he is kinda of a weenie unless you have 2 of him on the field. I am also thinking Timberland Guide might work out here since he give any creature a +1/+1 counter when enters the field... That can be a +2/+2 on Champion of Lambholt !

You should check out my deck and let me know what you think!

I just changed the name of it so it's not linking for me but you can find it on my page. Thunder, Thunder, Thundercats! HO!

August 17, 2012 1:10 a.m.

Oh and you need to up your land count. I always use at least 22 unless everythings really low cost and its mono colored

One thing about this deck is that it showcases Champion of Lambholt to it's greatest abilities. I recently built an unblockable deck, and there are a couple cards that seem to go great with the mechanic. Elbrus, the Binding Blade  Flip is a game-ender if you can activate it. card:Tormentor's Trident is good to get Champion's power up early. Moonsilver Spear has many uses in this deck, from making angels, to making your champion less likely to be blocked. If you would like to see that deck, it is here: Unblockable Trolling.. Things on color are stuff like Blessings of Nature , Gather the Townsfolk , Midnight Haunting , and Intangible Virtue . Also, why are you not running 4xChampion of Lambholt ? He's what your deck is built around, and he isn't legendary. Speaking of legendary, I'm sure you can find some way to abuse card:Yeva, Nature's Herald in this deck. Fun looking deck, would love to try it. +1

@willie- well now I'm brainstorming lol I really like the hamlet captain and if I'm running gather the townsfolk it would work out nicely . I don't have the garruk relentless or 4of Geist honored monk :/ but I'm going to play test and see what happens because your adds seem really good. Also it would make my deck faster creating aggro which also gives room for my silverheart to come out and play lol. Thankyou for the advice I will be brainstorming before I go to fnm tmrw .

August 17, 2012 1:23 a.m.

Sorry but don't listen to this guy. Moonsilver Spear and Elbrus have no place in any deck in anything but casual. Waist 8 mana on either just to attach them and then I guarantee unless they had a bad hand or are just terrible at magic(which there is usually only one guy at an fnm who is) they will have saved a removal spell for the moment after you've waisted 8 mana to equip to use on the creature equipped with it. The only thing I agree with is probably playsetting champion.

@magic&willie - I am going to add the intangibles and gather the townsfolk into here it's def going to be a great add as also I'm going to keep the 2drop angel unless I see tmrw it's worthless or a problem etc. I have to move things around and I'll update tmrw before I leave thanks for the advice and the +1 it's appreciated .

sheamagic says... #10

Sorry? I don't have much experience in a competitive environment, so those suggestions are completely based on casual. Also, Sigarda has hexproof, so she is a prime target for those equipment. What if they have no answers? Elbrus is almost an instant win, unless they have murder or O-ring, which they probably would already have used. I'm suggesting cards for his current build, not cards for W/G tokens. Regarding Elbrus, it would be the last thing they expect! ;) Willie is probably right, but again, I'm a casual player. card:Cathars' Crusade for the win!

August 17, 2012 1:37 a.m.

I know it seems strong but in competitive standard you will see alot of games end turn 5-6, so elbrus is past that point and even if it gets equipped they will do what I said. Also there are alot more answers than just murder and o-ring. I have nothing against casual players, I'm not bashing your deck, I just don't want you leading him into making his deck a casual deck in a competitive environment.

August 17, 2012 1:44 a.m.

knownasnieves says... #12

Don't forget to +1 my deck if you like it just as a reminder. Thanks for the advice it will be applied as I move my deck around tmrw thanks again everyone so far .

August 17, 2012 1:46 a.m.

I won't for now but if you make some good changes I promise to come back and +1 it :). Good Luck tomorrow!

August 17, 2012 1:49 a.m.

I know you said no Blade Splicer , but I've seen some fun shenanigans pulled off comboing it with Restoration Angel

August 17, 2012 2:49 a.m.

Dude its a tokens deck why ur u trying to make him go flicker?

August 17, 2012 3 a.m.

TheLordGod says... #16

I know it's not quite the same, but it's similar, see if there's anything useful you can take away from it: Angels and Humans. I've had quite a bit of success with it so far, tied for first at last week's FNM after making a few revisions to it.

August 17, 2012 3:50 a.m.

wideline1414 says... #17

The flicker allows the blade splicer to make multiple tokens. Comboing with Lambholt to make her stronger. I would also recommend the restoration angel idea

DarthTrevyn says... #18

UGplayerWillie has some great points!

Other suggestions that I thought of while looking over your set up...

-1 Llanowar Elves -1 card:Avacyn's Pilgrim-1 Mikaeus, the Lunarch

+3 Hamlet Captain

-4 Lingering Souls (that will help remove Woodland Cemetery for Razorverge Thicket or some basic lands which ever floats your boat)

+4 Gather the Townsfolk (fateful hour 5 TOKENS!)

maybe this too...

-3 Nearheath Pilgrim

+3 Timberland Guide

I would sideboard Garruk, Primal Hunter he seems more of a distraction than anything, plus someone will probably Oblivion Ring him the moment he hits the field.

I would then add another Sigarda, Host of Herons to your main. With me, once she's out it's game over :D

Again just some last minute suggestions. We'll both be trying new decks at FNM tonight! Good luck sir!

August 17, 2012 12:23 p.m.

DarthTrevyn says... #19

oh and yes! -1 card:Cathars' Crusade I love this card but you'll have to ask yourself what's the better 5 drop?

Increasing Devotion

Garruk, Primal Hunter

Geist-Honored Monk

Sigarda, Host of Herons

Dekester says... #20

Ever thought of Fungal Sprouting ? That and Lambholt are a deadly combo.

August 17, 2012 12:31 p.m.

knownasnieves says... #21

@willie-good luck and thanks and thanks for the advice ithas really made this deck better .Yes fungal sproutIng is a great card in this deck as well il see what I can do.Yes crusade needs to go I have better 5drops like silver heart that I actually have.

August 17, 2012 4:45 p.m.

knownasnieves says... #22

Well fungal sprouting is going to have to wait because I can't fit it and I'm already at 64 which is the highest I will go .. I also know that no one said odric but he's only four mana and it's a easy swing if he's on the field . I would really like to see Mikaeus work in here as well but I should just get the land that gives my creatures counters for power. I forgot the name I know lol. Wish me luck and I will update later on today and thanks for the advice it has helped a lot. Also I was just thinking to go all out humans instead of beating around the bush but lets see what happens and how I do .

abdulbaqr says... #23

I'd try to get just a little bit more splashed black mana in there if you can. maybe 2x Isolated Chapel so you can be sure to get those Lingering Souls flashbacks.

August 17, 2012 5:34 p.m.

knownasnieves says... #24

Ok I can get my hands on 3x crusader of odric , 4x champion of parish, 4x fiend hunter, 4x mayor of avabruck, 3x hamlet captain . What are some opinions on these card and how will they fit?

August 17, 2012 11:43 p.m.

knownasnieves says... #25

I can also get my hands on some birds of paradise as well 3x so that will help out alot . I really should add 3x hamlet captain and 3x mayor of avabruck but I need to figure how they would fit cuz the only thing I could see coming out is abundant growth .
