Help my deck!

[Spaceman Spiff]

I need help on my deck!
I am entering a Type 1 tournament and I wanted to build a green/white speed/removal deck any suggestions?
and BTW I dont need suggestions like "well, you should have gaea's cradle's in it and masticore's"
because I dont have those cards!
thanks!

Panther Warriors (6/3) + Hero's Resolve (+1/+5)

A 7/8 creature is pretty nasty.

 

[FoundationOfRancor]

Hey so is
Hunted Wumpus+Rancor

Whats the point of just brinign these too cards togetehre? Im not throwin disses but can spiff (and I , cuz im interested) have some contructive help?

 

[Mordecai]

Perhaps something along the lines of...

4 Rogue Elephant
2 Ghazban Ogre
3 Wild Dogs
2 Soltari Monk
2 Soltari Priest
2 White Knight
4 Savannah Lions

4 Rancor
4 Swords to Plowshares
4 Disenchant
4 Lightning Bolt
3 Incinerate
2 Empyrial Armor

1 Mox Emerald
1 Mox Ruby
1 Mox Pearl
1 Mox Diamond
4 Plateau
4 Savannah
4 Taiga
2 Plains
2 Forest

What do you think? Just kidding about the Moxen, of course. Switch the real Moxes out for Mox Diamonds and you should be OK. Might be land light, so consider reducing the Rancor/Empyrial Count if you need more land. This is, I think, a good starting point.

Excellent deck, Mordecai, though I think Mox Diamonds are 1 to a customer in T1. He'd probably have to go with the Mirage Diamonds instead.

Personally, I've always thought G/W was a fairly weak combination of colors, with the exception of Erhnageddon. Everything Green can do, White can do better. White, arguably, has better weenies than Green (evasion, protection, first strike). White has better control hands down, and if your opponent throws down a Moat, or a Stasis, there's probably no better finisher in the game than Serra.

Which brings us to another point. T1 is all about cards like The Abyss, Moat, and, of course, combo decks. To combat these things you'll need to play with Artifact Creatures (or Pro: Black creatures), fliers, and counterspells. If you can't play a deck featuring those 3 things, in some measure or another, you'll need to play a really fast beatdown deck to have a chance. The best of those are mono-colored.

I don't know what kind of cards you've got to work with, Spiff, but it seems to me that if you're on a limited budget you may want to consider going mono. For T1, I think the colors to look at would be Black, with discard, Hippies, and Black Knights (Pro: STP's ), or White, with STP's, Disenchants, and Protection from X creatures like White Knights and the shadow guys. Throw in a Scroll or 2 if you got 'em, or if you don't, consider White and use Armageddon and the Armor. Sure, the 'geddons are expensive, but that's one card that they'll probably never rotate out of the set, and a good 'geddon deck almost always has a chance to win. They're a pretty solid investment overall.

Hope that helps!

It is real hard to enter a T1 tournament if your card pool is not that big ... 1.5 got some chances but 1 .. real hard

Well I have 2 decks that are T1 and usually do ok :
Black :
4 hippies
4 B knight
4 order of the ebon hand
3 sorceress queen
4 priest of Gix
4 hymn to tourach
3 duress
2 Unmask
4 DR
2 drain life
4 twisted experiment / unholy strength
1 Mox jet
1 vise
2 wasteland
1 strip mine
2 lake of the dead
16 swamps

Hopefully the hand distruption can give you the time to put a few threats on the board.

A deck that can be real quick if undistrupted is :
Exponential elves
4 llanowar sentinell
4 llanowar elves
4 priest of titania
4 skyshroud elf
4 quirion ranger
2 seeker of skybreak
1 argothian elder
2 skyshroud poachers
1 rofellos, Llanowar emissary

2 coat of arms
3 overrun
3 fireball
3 sylvan library

2 concrodant crossroads
1 fervor
2 collective unconsciousness

3 gaeas cradle
2 pendelhave
1 winding canions
4 taiga
8 forest

it really can be explosive, but can also be distrupted quite easily.

 

[galtwish]

In T1 you'll have to prevent you opponent from winning on turn 3 every game, so make your choices accordingly:

4 Wild Dogs
4 Mtenda Lions
4 Ghazban Ogre
4 Llanowar Elves
2 Spectral Bears
4 Mother of Ruins
4 Savanah Lions
4 Rancor
4 Giant Growth
4 Land Grant
4 Erase
2 Disenchant
4 Savanah (can't play w/o it)
1 Strip Mine
4 Wasteland
7 Forest

SB
4 Absolute Grace
4 Swords to Plowshares
4 Reverant Silence
3 Kill Switch/2 Disenchant+1 Divine Offering

But G/W is not a very good combo against T1 power decks (combo, Necro, Zoo)
If you want a cheap T1 deck, here is a suggestion

4 Jackal Pups
4 Goblin Cadets
4 Mogg Conscripts
4 Mogg Fanatics
4 Goblin Lackey
4 Mogg Flunkies
4 Goblin Vandals
4 Goblin Grenade
2 Reckless Abandon
4 Lightning Bolt
4 Fireblast
17 Mountian
1 Strip Mine

Sb
4 Pyroblast
4 Red Elemental Blast
4 Guerilla Tactics \ I'm pretty sure these activate of
3 Sand Golem /Spiral, Twister, Jar, etc

First of all I'd like to thank all the helpful ideas and secondly, there are no power T1 cards at my local gaming shop, so I think a budget deck would do great, thanks guys!

there, thats it..what ya think?

 

[Apollo]

Okay, I'll just comment on what you have there. You're playing with so many creatures that the Wraths won't work very well, so I'd take those out, and add Empyrial Armors. I'd take out the Seal of Strengths and add some combination of Solitari Priests and Monks. Lose congregates and a couple Skyshroud Elves and put in Swords to Plowshares, which is a must if you're playing white. These are just some suggestions, and I realize some of the cards I mentioned aren't easy to come by (at least I haven't suggested Cursed Scrolls), but good luck with whatever you play with.
