Blossoming Defense has been swapped for Crash the Ramparts
Budget - $45.00
Ramp up the Energy and ramp up the wins. This is a budget friendly, yet competitive, mono-green energy deck.
The main goal is to gather enough energy to surge Electrostatic Pummelers power to epic proportions. So, theres plenty of ways to do it.
3 : the guy gets +x/+x where x is his power. So, how do you ramp him up? Well, youll notice almost every card in the deck gives a pretty good amount energy counters. So save them up when you can. Next, youll want a Larger Than Life, Blossoming Defense, or Highspire Infusion to ramp up Pummelers power before you start the energy process.
Example - Turn 6, you have 5 lands. Its possible to have around 9-12 Energy counters by now. You spend 1 mana to cast Blossoming Defense, making Electrostatic Pummeler a 3/3 with Hexproof, then you cast Larger than Life, making him a 7/7, lastly you cast Highspire Infusion and he is now a 10/10 with Trample, Hexproof, and you have 2 more energy counters. All for the 5 mana on turn six. Now you spend 9 energy to use Pummelers ability, which makes him a 80/80 with Trample and Hexproof. Swing for what is likely lethal.
Example of how to get 9+ energy by turn 6
Turn 1 - play a Forest and Attune with Aether. You have 2
Turn 2 - play a Aether Hub and Sage of Shailias Claim. You now have 6 energy
Turn 3 - play a Forest and Electrostatic Pummeler. You now have 9 energy.
9 at turn 3, and its enough to make Pummeler roll. You could even win on Turn 4 with 4 mana and a combo of 2 Blossoming Defense and a Larger Than Life.
Theres also a good amount of hexproof/Indestructible cards to keep your creatures alive, youll want to slot more in if your opponent is running a heavy removal deck. Youll find extras in the sideboard.
