(he continues)
I don't know when I started using coat... i just did... I wasn't even born a coat baby, but it grew on me quickly...
I even sank so low as to one time to chop and grind the coats, yes, there was more than one, and eventually ended up snorting the coat. I sold my parents, and siblings for Coat -, but man it was worth it!!!

That's why I'm here today - to get you all hooked on coat... Muaaaaa Haaaaa haaaaaaa!!!!!!:eek:

Are 4 Verdant Successions too much? I'm thinking with the Hystrodons an Deck Thinning I can afford to cut 1, especially since its something I don't necessarily need to win so I don't want to get stuck with it too early.

What should go in its place? There is a spot for another Hystrodon, but is he too expensive? I suppose he's no cheaper than the Succession, so why not.

What do you think about this:
Wirewood Savage - 2G
Creature - Elf (common)
Whenever a Beast comes into play, you may draw a card.
2/2

Yeah, it looks goofy, but that is a strong ability attached to that common. And its downright ugly with the Ravenous and Succession.

WoW,.... Wirewood Savage will be great for my Tribe deck, Counts
as a Beast "tribe" card. I can't really think of a good Type II
decklist, yours looks ok to me. I think it would be a good idea
to cut some of the Successions, though. To bad they didn't make
the Savage a Beast.

Sorry I'm not much help. I need to take a good look at the
spoiler.

OK, I'm about to build this deck

25
4 BoP
4 Wild Mongrel
4 Anurid Brushhoper
3 Hystrodon
4 Ravenous Baloth
2 Gurzigost
4 Krosan Tusker

12
4 Living Wish
4 Verdant Succession
2 Genesis (gets me Tuskers back)
2 Glory

23
4 Brushland
2 Windswept Heath
10 Forest
5 Plains
1 Island
1 Mountain

SB
1 Contested Cliffs (Living Wish)
1 Glory
1 Genesis
1 Wonder
1 Anger
X Nova Cleric, Elvish Scrapper, Aven Cloudchaser
2 Nantuko Tracer
4 Steely Resolve (?, is targeted removal a problem right now?)

Problems I see with the deck
- It has no maindeck answers to anything, besides Living Wish which basically means my creature based removal all costs 1G extra.
- I think 1 Verdant Succession will be 1 too many
- The Wonder/Anger tricks are cute, but are they worth it?
- I'm playing Verdant Succession, can/should I squeeze Wrath of God in here since they work so well together.


Also, I have no idea what are the hot T2 decks are, I've been out of the loop for about 3-4 weeks.

Type 2 is still running the same decks - but there is some concern about the Morph so a little more manipulation seems to have been added just for morph...

Black is much stronger with the Grinning Demon and the chep, and deadly zombies...

psychatog and blue are stronger because they can cycle for counterspells...

green/white has so much to actually use - but the strongest is akroma's vengeance - fast mana = nevinyrral's disk... oblation is some mean tech for draw advantage and combat, and mobilization may have brought back the U/W control decks...
