SUPERFAST Saproling Deck (Monogreen)!

[Force of Will Smith]

I've been playing against a lot of crappy saproling decks running the GW wolves and the gold token makers.. all worthless and too slow.. white dilutes it...
my origional idea was to abuse both vitalize, scatter the seeds, and battle screech... but this is much faster anywhoo

here's a fast version i've come up with

It's fast as hell

4 Llanowar Elves
4 Fists of Ironwood
4 Chatter of the Squirrel
4 Natural Order
4 Revive
4 Saproling Symbiosis
4 Scatter the Seeds
3 Echoing Courage
3 Overrun
3 Vitalize
3 Root-Kin Ally
2 Verdant Force

18 Forest


the original version had a possible turn 3 kill using concordant crossroads and taunting elf but crossroads was too risky by itself..

here are some draws i had.. only one was kinda crappy..

T1: Forest, chatter (draw forest)
t2: forest, fists (3cr) (draw natural)
t3: forest, flashback squirrer (4c) tap forest and all C) scatter(7c)
t4: forest, natural order for

T1: Forest, llanowar (draw fists)
t2: forest, fists (3c)draw forest)
t3: forest, tap elf and 3 forests, for saproling ( 6c, tap 5 play scatter) 9c
t4: echoing courage

t1: Forest, llanowar (draw chatter)
t2: forest, fists (3c) play chatter (4c)(draw overrun)
t3: flashback chatter (5c) (draw forest)
t4: natural

T1: forest, llanowar (draw forest)
T2: forest (draw scatter)
t3: forest, sac llanowar for verdant force( draw scatter)
t4: tap GGG , 2 saprolings play scatter (5 saps)
t5: ally, scatter (9 saprolings)

Bad Draw:
T1: Forest, Llanowar (draw symbiosis)
T2: play 2 chatters (3c) (draw echoing)
t3: flashback chatter (4c) (Draw natural)
t4: echoing on 3 squirrels (draw forest)
t5: forest, revive echoing (draw overrun)
t6: echoing on squirrels


cards that didnt make it:
sakura tribe elder: only good for fetching the plains i'd need
squirrel nest: too slow for token making.. i want 1 turn 1, 3 turn 2, 5-7 turn 3
Selesyna: too slow
"the convoke overrun": requires a vitalize.. overrated..

i'm thinking about running some other cards like the shepherd that kills artifacts but i'm going to play this one to death first..

18 lands seems to be working fine with the 4 free convoke spells, the 3 free convoke allies, and the 4 llanowar..

any thoughts?

First off...chatter of squrriels ...that isn't saporlings...and it seems pretty pivotal in your deck...so you got false advertising...


You never seemed to cast overrun might you consider something cheaper or faster or even another creature?

 

[Force of Will Smith]

yeah
it was mainly getting that 1st and 2nd creature.
I've since removed the squirrels and added some priests, which i may or may not take out..

main reason i took it out was around turn 3 or 4 a chatter is somewhat worthless, whereas a llanowar or priest is almost always good.

i'll have to post the new one and get some advice..

Okay, this is nice and kills quite well with SQUIRRELS? Come on. If you want to call it a saproling deck break out the real generators: THALLIDS! Devourers, Elvish Farmers (okay, they're elves, but you get the picture), and of course your basic Thalids! Sure, it's slower but it works pretty well in multiplayer.

Great, now I'm going to have to fly home, get my cards, and dig out the deck and post it...

most definitely...thallids are the way to go. the OG saproling action..you need thallids.
