Put a deck that strongly resembled this together out of the Nickel bin at the local card store mixed with a few cards I alread had. This is close to what it looked like when I first built it. You will notice that there are no rares in this deck, and only 1 card that has never been a common.

 

[Crackdown]

I made this one for my six-year old to play. He won't use rares though; prides himself on using commons and uncommons only.

4 Pouncing Jaguars
4 Vine Trellis
4 Albino Troll
4 Blastoderm
4 Simian Grunts
2 Thresher Beast

4 Spidersilk Armor
4 Rancor
4 Naturalize
4 Ancestral Mask

22 Forests

What was interesting is that he picked up on the deck very quickly and began trouncing the ten-year old's samurai deck.

I loved green when I started playing. I played with a friend of mine and he had netdecked some mono black discard monstrosity (hypnotic specter, hymn to tourach, sengir vampire). No deck could beat it exept this one. I loved whirling dervish back then.The deck looked something like this:

24 forest

4 llanowar elves
4 whirling dervish
4 jolrael's centaur
4 craw worm.
2 scaled wurm
2 leaping lizard

2 unyaro bee sting
2 stream of life
2 crumble
2 hurricane
2 desert twister
4 serrated arrows
2 roots
2 Desert Twister

Those were the days: stream of life felt awesome and roots & unyaro bee sting were cool because they were green removal!

Some games I won because I hurricaned his flyers and him, forgetting it affected me too After we learned how hurricane worked, I stopped using it, until a few weeks after that, I realised it was still good.

I still play simple decks occasionally (more simple than the green deck!). White-equipment-weenie is very basic but very fun and powerful.

Creatures are good, but HATING creatures is good too!
