Here's another deck posted by Benjamin Carroll on Brain Burst I liked. It's an elf-deck without the fat and really works! My brother and I played last night and he was able to smack me with a Rancored and Embraced Cradle Guard on turn four last night. For those with math problems, this makes the Cradle Guard a 10/8. Don't forget he Rancored it the turn before so I was basically hit on turn 3 by a Yavimaya Wurm. This made for a quick dead player on turn 5!

"Elf Revelation"
Green:
3 Blanchwood Armor
4 Cradle Guard
2 Elvish Herder
3 Gaea's Embrace
2 Heart Warden
1 Hurricane
2 Land Grant
4 Lanowar Elves
3 Priest of Titania
4 Rancor
1 Revive
1 Rofellos, Lanowar Emissary (can be switched out for a Priest of Titania just fine)
4 Scent of Ivy
1 War Dance
2 Yavimaya Elder

Artifacts:
3 Howling Mine (not neccessary, but nice)

Lands:
18 Forest
2 Treetop Village

The most expensive card in the deck is Rofellos, and he can be switched out for Priest without any major problems. Burn is this deck's biggest weakness.

Nice deck Dune. Think it's pretty cool

Why not the name "Buttnugget."

Here, let me help you flesh out your creature:

Buttnugget 2BB
Creature - Annoyance 2/4

Buttnugget attacks each turn if able.
Whenever a creature comes into play, put a taunt counter on Buttnugget.

Any time Buttnugget has three or more counters on it tap 3 target creatures and sacrifice Buttnugget.

"...We had to kill him - he was so annoying..."

-ferret

"...life imitates art..."

 

[Ishans Shade]

Is that a threat, or what?

 

[theorgg]

The smily face indicates an "or what."

or was that sarcasm, buttnugat?

btw, here's fog-ive and fog-et:

[Ishans Shade]

Well ya know theorgg, I've been making some people really iritated.

 

[Dune Echo]

I saw a multiplayer deck along the same lines, Jensen. I can't remember where. It's cool though. It was something like this:

Artifacts:
4 Bullwhip
4 Caltrops

Green:
4 Spore Cloud
4 Fog
4 Hailstorm
4 Sandstorm
4 Foxfire
4 Lull

And some other things. I can't remember the winning stuff. It was more of a control deck. Does anyone have the decklist for this thing. I think it was on MTG-Strategy-L.

[Ferret]

You might want to add some Spore Flowers from Fallen Empires - I think they're the ones that collect spore counters to do a fog effect...very handy at making your opponent do nothing...and I think under VIth Edition rules you can use them before combat to prevent the damage all turn...

-ferret

"...yup, it's a big threat - I'm going to blow $1,500 in air fair to beat you up

"

 

[theorgg]

I do have spore flowers. but they erratta'd them to "Combat Damage" they still work very well, expecially in triads.

[Dune Echo]

I think he was referring to my post above, theorgg. Besides, I'd love to see your deck kick ass with a Rancored Spore Flower.

That would be funny.

actually, it doesn't need to. I effectivly have a 130 card deck(if i did the math correctly). even more with thran foundrys!

[Dune Echo]

Jensen, you really need a way to gain life. That way, you can't be killed via direct damage in multiplayer. Also, Gaea's Blessing would be great as a way to recycle your deck infinitely and prevent Millstone decks to beat you. Stroke decks are effectually annulled against this and creature damage is obviously useless. Taste of Paradise, Stream of Life, and Gaea's Blessing would be excellent additions. Think about it.

 

[theorgg]

I built the deck in responce to the "250 elvish beats" decks that were going up in my local area. I accepted an ante game for 1-for-5 cards and won. there were about 8 people around me, and at the end(4hr. later) there was only the kid and me. that was cool.

[Spidermage]

Actually all Cat cards should be regenerators, but should have life counters...after they get their ninth counter, they can no longer be regenerated

 

[Ihsans Shade]

Not that bad an Idea.

 

[Daenen]

Here is a green deck that I have been fiddling around with. It is a lot of fun to play, and I enjoy the look on people's faces when I put a thorn elemental into play on round 3. (1: forest, tap, Llanowar; 2: forest, tap both forests, Priests of Titania, tap first elf for another Llanowar; 3: Thorn Elemental. hehehe)

Anyway, here it is:

Lands
18 Forests
2 Hickory Woodlot

Artifacts
4 Thran Golem
2 Voltaic Key
1 Masticore
1 Phyrexian Processor

Critters
4 Llanowar Elves
4 Priests of Titania
1 Birds of Paradise (all I got)
2 Deragned Hermits
2 Pouncing Jaguars
2 Albino Troll
3 Thorn Elementals

Enchantments & Stuff
4 Rancor
4 Giant Growth
2 Might of Oaks
2 Gaea's Embrace
2 Creeping Molds

Just wanted to put my two cents in.

 

[Dune Echo]

Hey, Daenen, if you're really hurting for multicolor creatures that are easy to get, Quirion Elves are very cheap alternative to Birds of Paradise. They're not as efficient, but they are an alternative. The Birds are just awesome for a creature, especially with Rancors in the deck.
