Radiating Badness

[FoundationOfRancor]

Green (20)
4 Spellbane Centaur
4 Birds of Paradise/Llanowar Elves/Urborg Elves
4 Harrow
4 Nimble Mongoose
4 Blurred Mongoose

Red (3)
3 Radiate

Blue (3)
3 Deep Anylsis/Fact or Fiction
Not to sure about the 3 blue slots, I'm thinking a cheaper card drawer could be better

Gold (12)
4 Yavimaya Barbarian
4 Temporal Spring
4 Fire/Ice

Land (23)
4 Shivan Oasis
4 Yavimaya Coast
2 City of Brass
4 Mountains
4 Islands
5 Forests

Basically, the idea is to get an arrary of (Or even one would work) non targetable creatures, then radiate a temporal spring. Obviously, this deck needs alot of work, and it is never going to be a top notch deck. Counter/control would just tear this apart; Its simply a deck for some fun. Any ideas how to make it better?

Good idea, can't think of anything to add though.

Well there is one thing you might want some sac lands, or
Thornscape Familiar some way to speed up the combo.
Overabundance?

Some other ideas:

BWR
Radiate
pro-black/pro-white creatures
Vindicate

BUR
Radiate
pro-black/pro-blue creatures
Recoil

[edited-yes, radiate/megrim/recoil=bad, oops]

Recoil/Megrim Bad.

Recoil bounces Megrim. No damage happens.

Darn your fast, I figured that out and was going to fix it, but you
were to fast for me.

 

[Griffith_se]

Maybe....

Creatures 20
4 Spellbane Centaur
4 Birds of Paradise
4 Thornscape Familiar
4 Blurred Mongoose
4 Yavimaya Barbarian

Spells 15
3 Radiate
4 Twiddle
4 Temporal Spring
4 Fire/Ice

Land 25
4 Mossfire Valley
4 Yavimaya Coast
3 Tender Farm
3 Geothermal Crevice
3 Mountains
3 Islands
5 Forests

I don't know, it'd be kinda tough.

I like your ideas, I was also thinking about the whole Vindicate Aspect as well.

The problem with the combo is that it's 4RRGU to pull off.

 

[Griffith_se]

Yeah, that's why I was trying to add some tap-land's, and the
Familiar's also upped the land one. I don't know if that will help
or not.

Radiate + Ice = "Some Good" (tm)

Maybe just focus on that combo.

Recoil/Megrim actually works, if you stack the Recoil copy targeting Megrim first, Megrim would trigger of all other Recoil copies.

Hey you know how you were talking about control beating it? I actually think your creatures will be tough enough for them to handle and actually if you play mana short sideboard then you might be able to get that through which gives you your turn to pull off the combo! I actually think this deck could be competitive if you put a little thought into it. I think the deck could very well win against control because of all the non bouncable stuff. And against agro decks you can always try to pull off the combo... maybe with a little more thought that deck could be up there with the best of em.

 

[Urza(Yes I Like Men)]

By the way I like the version with the 4 nimble mongeese a lot better then the 4 twiddle. Twiddle doesn't do much without the radiate... and i think the coolest part about icing the the permanents is that you get to draw a card fore each one of them! So yeah... keep the mongeese.

 

[Griffith_se]

Maybe a Domain type thing?

I dont like that one as much Griff, but I just dont like Domain decks very much.

Thanks for the comments Urza, do you think the Temporal Spring or the Vindicate version is better?

Im thinking the Vindicate version might be better, but I dont want to go questing for four vindicates.

I cant wait till these weekend, in which I will playtest this deck to the extreme!

Yeah, I just smooshed the combo into a "Rice Snax" deck, just an idea.

I like the Ice version, for what it's worth.
