SHARKIE BEATDOWN

Let's make Sharktocrab relevant!

"How" you ask?

You abuse his ability to lock down your opponent's creatures while you swing in BIG for the win!

"But Sharkie won't stick around long enough to..."

Look, I understand your concerns but Ajani, the Greathearted and Nissa, Who Shakes the World take a lot of the hate once they land that Sharktocrab tends to stick around for a minute or two. Plus, even if you don't see Sharkie in a game that means that you more than likely played more Druids than anything and a Paradise Druid is hard enough for an opponent to handle without Papa Ajani giving her Vigilance and making her (and others) bigger.

And now you're thinking, "Ok, ok, so how does this deck curve out?"

T1: Land

T2: Land, Incubation Druid

T3: Land, Pollenbright Druid , +1 counter on Incubation Druid , followed by the almighty Sharktocrab

T4: Ajani, the Greathearted

At that point you can start pumping your team, locking down your opponent's creatures, and swinging with vigilance to protect ol' Ajani.

"You're fooling yourself if you think that can work..."

You're right, this doesn't happen too often...BUT Ajani, the Greathearted is an absolute BEAST in this deck and works with any creatures. Throw in a little Sleep and Prison Realm , and you're good!

Keep in Mind

~ Incubation Druid and Paradise Druid are always T2 plays. Which one depends on your hand, but typically the former is a better play since a T3 Ajani, the Greathearted or Pollenbright Druid will put a +1 counter on it and allow you to have up to 7 mana on T4.

~ Paradise Druid and Ajani, the Greathearted are a force to be reckoned with. The druid can get big quick and Viglance plus Hexproof is brutal.

~ Pollenbright Druid 's sole purpose is to give a +1 counter to others and then to block anything coming your way. It's +1's work best on Incubation Druid and Sharktocrab .

I implore you to give this deck a shot. It is very fun to play and definitely different! I will be working on the match-ups section soon.
