combo's.....

Duel had a very interesting idea about taking some random
cards and trying to build a few decks. I really like this
idea but seem to be terrible at coming up with original
decklist. Thats why I nees you help. I'd like to get some
feedback on what to put into a few decks that are built
around the following ideas.

Squandered Resource + Groundskeeper

Hall of Gemstones + Drain Life + Gaea's Cradle(*assuming
the Cradle will produce x black mana)Need a rules guru!

Thats all I have for now. All comments and suggestions
would be appericated.

Well, you could always run the Gaea's Cradle mana through Initiates of the Ebon Hand. No rules problem there.

Squandered/Keeper:

Well, what you have there is a theoretically renewable mana source. But, perhaps more importantly, you can bounce any untapped land to your hand at any time. Also, you can make sure you play one land a turn. Groundkeeper is already good with Spellshapers, could you throw those in?

Alright, as far as playing a land a turn (or more, with Exploration), how does Horn of Greed sound? That's a card a turn per Exploration, for no cost. I dunno, it's a start...

"And Overlaid Terrain goes nicely in..."

 

[Duel]

Right, so think of this, now. Squandered, keeper, possibly a cadaverous bloom. Prosperity, oh, wait, THAT deck.

Okay, I like the idea, is there a way to refresh exploration (bounce it in a constant fashion, and then re-cast it?). Oh, and STORM CAULDRON! Try this deck, see how it fits?

4 Squandered Rescources
4 groundskeeper
2 cadaveorus bloom
3 horn of greed
4 exploration
2 overlaid terrain
4 early harvest
4 storm cauldron
4 tutors of your choice.
3 spon gen
3 collective unconciousness
2 Drain life, or any burn spell that you want.

Lands:
Here's where I'm troubled, what should the land mix be. Help?

 

[Duel]

Okay, now my attempt at the new combo, which I never saw before. Okay here's what I got, a jolrale deck that works either with your land or with theirs, and winning either way. See what you get?

4 Hall of Gemstone
4 Drain life
4 Vitalize
4 Jolrael
4 Eradicate
2 powder keg
4 early harvest
4 earthcraft
4 spon/gen
2 collective unconciousness
2 powder keg

Land
4 gaea's cradle (just to make sure you have one)
12 Forests
6 Swamps

Duel,
Those ideas are great. Hopefully I'll get a chance to
experiment with them today or tomorrow.


Here is the combo version I came up with. Warning: This
isn't very good but atleast I made an attempt.

4 Drain Life
4 Wall of Roots
4 Natural Balance
4 Summers Bloom
4 Hall of Gemstone
4 Squandered Resource
3 Snake Basket
3 Horn of Greed
3 Vampiric Tutor

14 Swamp
6 Forest
4 Bayou
2 Undiscovered Paradise
1 Gaea's Cradle


Does anyone have an idea for a creature version, using cards
like: Agent of Shauku, Heartwood Giant, Squirrel Wrangler &
other similiar cards?

Thanx,
Caveman
