Wild nacatl

Seems that Wild Nacatl has been banned lately and so this deck is more legacy as it seems. Ashame....

Added Primeval titan. What stupid person doesn't run this card.How to play!
GobHoblin, 13 years ago
You can cycle or draw/discard with a bad hand, but I recommend a mulligan. If you draw a creature but have a card to play it from the graveyard on opening draw you can skip playing anything turn 1 to discard the creature, unless you have Careful Study, in which case that is good for discarding. Half the time you should be able to Entomb, then Exhume

Cannot think of what else to fill in the gaps with.
Thinking about adding on

I ordered Grab For Power deck a while ago and am recieving it soon, I really want to throw both the Rune-Scarred and the Throne of Empires in here. Would this be a good Idea at all?
Card draw removed

Removed card draw in favor of more removal and counterspells.

Also, I'm starting to think that I would like to make this standard. since izzet and storage matrix are not in standard, what would you suggest replacing them with while remembering that izzt is for mana, and storage is for stalling until I can get the combo out.illbubb, 13 years ago
Obviously this a cheaper deck. I just wanted a nice standard deck for casual gaming with my friends. If you have any cheap/cheapish suggestions to help make it a better deck, I'm all for it!SexyNoodle90, 13 years ago
The idea is that first strike will make my infect really effective. For example. i have a 4/4 infect with first strike, u block with a 7/7... By the time u return combat damage u will only be swinging me for 3 damage and i survive.

Pretty dead-set on running this this week. A slight problem - I'm short of the key cards: I only got my hands on 1 puresteel and 1 body and mind. I'm in need of the paladins and swords pretty badly. I'm not stingy and am ready to fork out whatever cash or stuff in my decent trade binder for these..... Are these common items I'll find in trade binders at FNM? Are there any decent subs for these cards shouod I fail to obtain them in time?

The mana base will be better once I get the lands I need.

This is mostly just a placeholder deck so I can edit it and whatnot. Nothing is final.
Changes?

I'm thinking about replacing Chimeric Masses and Thrummingbirds with delvers and invisible stalkers. They provide good offense, they both get stronger when Architect hits the board, but it would make contagion clasps less useful in this deck. It would also open the possibility to add some other kind of removal (not much of it available for mono blue though). I am considering running a full set of Treasure Magi, and also Contagion Engine... Mini day of judgement for your opponent's creatures is not something to scoff at. Certainly the manabase needs an improvement. Having just basic lands is... mediocre. I also think about getting rid of Etched Champion and putting another Metamorph instead. I also got a Mindslaver recently, which could make a nice addition to the deck. Still not sure about counterspells... Certainly Mana Leaks are awesome early on, but then their usefulness falls... Negate is good, but less flexible. Turn aside is even less flexible than Negate, but cheaper - and I find myself having those 2 mana to counter a spell quite rarely. I also own two Redirects, which could be awesome sideboard cards against burn or black removal decks. And of course Stoic Rebuttals, aka Counterspell for artifact decks.

little update
npcmaster, 13 years ago
Messed with it a bit. Gnaw to bone was not useful early enough. So the plan is: drop them wolves, constant attack, some creature control from Nightfall Predator and Prey Upon, some emergency Naturalize, curse and enchant for nasty advantage. And yes, this is all from one set. Cause its casual.
