What do I see at my local tournaments?
Opposition.
W/B.
Fires.
Netdecks a-plenty.
So I said to myself, "What do these decks have in common? What underlying theme can I exploit?"
Enchantments.
Creatures.
High-CC stuff.
And so, I bring you...
Grassy Knoll.dec
9x Plains
10x Forest
3x Brushland
4x Quirion Dryad (gets massive quick)
4x Kavu Titan
4x Elvish Archers
4x Llanowar Knight
4x Noble Panther
2x Charging Troll
4x Wax/Wane
4x Gerrard's Command
4x Armadillo Cloak
4x Hurricane
SB:
4x Elvish Lyrist
4x Pacifism
3x Reprisal
4x ???
Dryad grows whenever a white spell is played...which means that 22 of the spells in this deck make it grow.
Kavu Titan is modal, and a pumped Archers takes down almost anything.
Llanowar Knight was the natural bear for the job, Noble Panther is an undercosted 3/3 first strike, and Charging Troll rounds out my mana curve and comes with two great abilities.
Wax/Wane provides growth and much-needed enchantment destruction (Opposition, Fires, Arena, Agenda, the list goes on).
Gerrard's Command is like a Giant Growth, except it grows my Dryad.
Armadillo Cloak...well, duh.
Hurricane is an X-spell finisher.
Elvish Lyrist is there in case I need more enchantment removal.
Reprisal kills Desolation Angels if they get cast, and stomps most of Fires' big fatties at instant speed for two mana.
Pacifism solves my biggest problem; without it, I have no real answer for Spectral Lynx.
What should I put in the last slot? Part of me wants to say Thornscape Battlemage vs. artifacts, but I dunno...aside from Static Orb or Ensnaring Bridge, I don't ph33r artifacts much...and I don't see Bridges *anywhere* locally.
The idea is to beat my opponent to death with great swiftness, with enough enchantment destruction, grow spells, and direct damage via Hurricane to push a kill through faster than they can handle.
4x so many spells...any suggestions for this deck? (other than 'your deck sucks', thanks)
