When most people think of Red/Green, they think old-school Killjoy. Llanowar Elves + Fireball, or Birds of Paradise + Lightning Bolt. Ahh, those were the days.
I tried to build a modern killjoy deck using Masques Block, Invasion, and 6th Edition. It sucked. It took me an average of THIRTEEN turns to deal 20 damage. This is not good. One game i drew nothing but Birds and Elves. While this could be a good thing, i have to assume that my little 1/1's will soon die, whether to bigger creatures or burn.
So, I decided to go the other route. Instead of an aggresive deck, i went for control. The one i came up with is modelled after Ponza. Lots of mana, lots of control, and only a few creatures to lay the smack down, after you have control of the board.
So, here it is, future T2 R/G Ponza:
Mana (28 total):
6 Forest
10 Mountains
4 Shivan Oasis
4 Birds of Paradise
4 Troll-Horn Cameo (R/G mana artifact for 3)
Fat Critters (6 total):
3 Skizzik
3 Flowstone Overseer
Control (28 total):
4 Tsabo's Web (Aww, you have no Ports. Poor baby)
4 Creeping Mold (no, bad Enchantment/Land/Artifact)
2 Hurricanes (Final kill/annoying flyers)
4 Seal of Fire (Don't have to keep mana open)
2 Hammer of Bogarden (may change to Urza's Rage)
4 Stone Rain (Duh)
4 Pillage (another duh)
2 Earthquake (may bump to three and drop one Hurricane)
2 Frenzied Tilling (May drop, don't know yet)
Well, tell me what you think. I like the deck. Lots of control, but i think i could use more burn. Tell me what you think. Thank you in advance.
