The theory?

Yep, that's right. They don't die. Overrun looks fun now, eh?

 

[Ransac]

Wow, that is a very interesting idea.

*Ransac cast wrath of god.*

Oh, they do die.

j/k. I can see this possibly being played when Judgement comes out, or possibly before.

steal the judgement print sheets before they come out. then eat all of the cookies the gnomes have to offer.

 

[rkoelsch]

another card to consider is verdant succession. laugh off that wrath of God we have more where that came from only the Nomads would die. As an aside here's hoping the You make the card card comes in next set. wouldn't that go good in this deck.

In case you haven't been following here it is.

[Elrond]

The deck looks pretty good overall. I was thinking about making a deck like that when I saw that combo.

I also agree with rkoelsch in that verdant succession would be a good way of getting around wrath effects, not to mention chainer's edict.

 

[Duel]

Actually, I have a different way of dealing with wrath effects.

Genesis, anyone?

 

[Thallid Ice Cream Man]

You seem to enjoy spending exorbitant amounts of mana to protect your creatures now. Is this a trend...

 

[Duel]

You're right of course.... it might be interesting to play 2 or 3 living wishes and sideboard Genesis... things like that.
