Background
Like most decks I actually build, I wanted this one to be fun to play, fun to play against, and provide a varied gameplay experience. The aim is to have fun playing some iconic creatures, which are mostly one-ofs to keep things fresh. The deck is still a work in progress so it may change as I dig up other cards.
The deck name is nod to Aberystwyth Town FC (the Black and Green), the greatest football team in the world. I won't defend that statement with anything other than my heart.
How It Works
Our early plays are Tinder Wall and Wall of Roots to get out some blockers and set up for Pattern of Rebirth. Birds of Paradise ramps us into early action as well.
Landing one large threat usually isn't enough (we aren't playing with the best creatures in Magic, just the most fun). In this case, we can certainly cheat other creatures into play, but most of them can be cast the honest way as we get into the mid game. The early threat usually shakes things up enough that we have time to stabilize and deploy other threats.
Apart from being threats, our creatures also provide utility based on the game at hand. Verdant Force and Deranged Hermit get us tokens to go wide or provide chump blockers. Thrashing Wumpus can wipe an opponent's board it they're playing small creatures. Spirit of the Night's protection from black means we can't cast Animate Dead on it, but it also means it's immune to most direct old-school removal. Karn, Silver Golem's real value is destroying cost artifacts.
The best trick in the deck, which constitutes an automatic (moral) victory, is Teeka's Dragon with Lure and Emerald Charm out of the board. It's a thing of beauty.
Our ideal start goes like this...
Turn 1: Play Tinder Wall.
Turn 2: Play Wall of Roots or Birds of Paradise.
Turn 3: Play Pattern of Rebirth on Tinder Wall, sacrifice Tinder Wall and go get the creature of your choice!
