I'd like to see everyone's ALL COMMONS decks

[Mikeymike]

I'd love to see what people could come up for this. Here are the rules.

1)You can use up to 4 of any card, as long as its common.

2)Go ahead and use the banned/restrited stuff. Without the rares they will be tough to abuse.

3)See rule #1

Here is a little R/G deck that I built that lays some serious smackdown.

Mana 21
9 Forests
8 Mountains
4 Lotus Petals

Creatures 24
4 Llanowar Elves
4 Kird Apes
4 Mogg Fanatics
3 Suq'Ata Lancer
3 blastoderms
2 Kris Mage
2 Scanvenger Folk
2 Elvish Lyrist

Spells and Permanents 15
4 Lightning Bolts
3 Fireblasts
4 Rancor
4 Giant Growth

Its pretty explosive, the blastoderms are a serious beatdown but they kind of suck b/c of the creature boosters.
I know good mono colored versions can be made in every color.

Heres my black one
Mana 22
18 Swamps
4 Dark Rituals

Creatures 24
4 Carnophage
4 Vampire Bats
4 Dauti Slayer
4 Skitt. Skirges
4 Foul Imps (2/2 flyer from Stronghold)
4 Erg Raiders


Spells 14
4 Hymn to Tourach
4 Expunges (or Terror)
2 Unholy Strengths
2 Parallax Dimentia (very nice w/ Skirges)
2 Death's Duet (or Unearth)

It'd be much better w/ Bad Moons but that defeats the purpose, it still moves pretty quickly

 

[Captain Caveman]

[Purple_jester]

I just came from an all-commons tournament last month. I managed to get 3rd place with my red deck, but I was playing in a more difficult format, where only 2 each of non-basic land cards were allowed, and where we were supposed to have exactly 20 creatures and 20 spells. Here it is, totally unmodified. I won't include a sideboard because the tourney didn't allow any.

Lands:
18 Mountain
2 Sandstone Needle

Creatures:
2 Suq-Ata Lancer
2 Searing Spear Askari
2 Burning Shield Askari
2 Mogg Fanatic
2 Mogg Maniac
2 Mogg Flunkies
2 Goblin War-Buggy
2 Raging Goblin
2 Kyren Sniper
2 Ghitu Slinger
2 Goblin Patrol

Spells:
2 Fireblast
2 Lightning Bolt
2 Incinerate
2 Chain Lightning
2 Shock
2 Goblin Bomb
2 Fireball
2 Disintegrate
2 Arc Lightning
2 Firewhip

I went 5-0 in the prelims and was beaten by a black/red deck. Still, a semifinalist isn't so bad. Especially when the seminfinalist's prize is an entire booster box of Prophecy.

 

[Mikeymike]

An entire box of Prophecy? That's sweet. What did the winner get?

 

[Purple_jester]

I'm not exactly sure about what the winner got... I think it was a box of Urza's Saga (or was it Legacy) and four mint-condition commons: a Sinkhole (Beta), Chain Lightning, Kird Ape (Arabian Nights), and Mishra's Factory (original Antiquities, where they were commons).

 

[Duel]

How about this, an MBC deck of all commons, no less:

4 wild might
4 land grant
4 seal of strength
2 furious assault
2 mogg toady
3 spore frog
4 lunge (Seal of fire or shock may be better, though)
2 flailing soldiers
2 battle ramparts
2 rhystic lightnings (What was it they were saying about
3/4's being tough to take out?)
3 skyshroud ridgebacks
2 silt crawlers
2 fault riders
2 branded brawlers
2 invigorates
2 laccolith whelps

If it were all types, I'd build a stompy:

4 rancor (Duh)
4 river boas (Hey! they were common in visions!)
4 skyshroud ridgebacks
4 llanowars
4 ghazban ogres
4 scryb sprites (underrated!)
4 tauntin elves
4 muscle slivers
4 lotus petal (Baa-roken! that's why they're banned. A banned common! Hell yeah!)
4 giant growth
4 wild might
4 Seal of strength
2 invigorates
10 forests
