Land 4 x x Seaside Citadel  2 x x Graypelt Refuge  2 x x Sejiri Refuge  2 x x Halimar Depths  1 x x Stirring Wildwood  1 x x Celestial Colonnade  3 x x Plains  3 x x Island  5 x x Forest  INSTANTS, SORCERIES: 4 x x Cancel  4 x x Spreading Seas  4 x x Not of this world  3 x x Leyline of Sanctity  3 x x Mana Leak  3 x x Day of Judgment  3 x x Rest for the weary  2 x x Tanglesap  2 x x Fog  CREATURES: 3 x x Terra Stomper  2 x x Terastodon  1 x x Inkwell Leviathan  1 x x Pelakka Wurm  1 x x Kalonian Behemoth  1 x x Vengeful Archon  1 x x Gaea's Revenge  (i) I posted this as a separate thread earlier but no one seems to care much. Hoping you can help! (ii) I am looking at fatties with power 7 or higher, with some additional features like shroud or trample - one of the reasons being the usage of Not of this World. Terra Stomper works great for this because it cannot be countered, and anything else that tries to touch it once it lands can be countered with Not of this World for 0 mana. (iii) Day of Judgment, Fog, Tanglesap and Rest for the Weary are to keep me alive/ buy me time until I can bring the fatties out. (iv) Leyline of Sanctity is to prevent face damage and stop mill/ discard decks. (v) The counters are to further the cause of Not of this World. Tips I would be grateful for: (a) I need a good mix of land (how many green/ blue/ white and which multi-lands) but I still haven't figured the science behind the same. One option is Birds of Paradise or Noble Hierarch but I am not too keen on creatures as they can be destroyed by my own DoJ if not by my oppponents'. How does my current mix look ? (b) Is there a better mix of fatties anyone can think of ? With better synergies ? (c) I do not have any ramp, hence a game with this deck can go for long. How bad would that be ? In the interest of answering this, I am looking to play only in MTGO Daily Constructed, nothing more. (d) Because a game with this deck can go long. Mana Leak probably shouldn't have a place - as by then, the opponent would probably have enough lands to pay 3 mana. Are there any other good counters ? I am aware of Deprive and Negate. Anything else ? Maybe replace Mana Leak altogether with Narcolepsy  or Path to Exile  ? This is my second own deck - first own Standard deck, so I am pretty excited about building this. Any tips would be highly appreciated! Thanks a bunch!

Here's a GW Sun Titan list I've been playing around with. It does okay, but great would be better  (Please keep it Standard-legal, and rather budget -- Vengevines and Primeval Titans are great and all, but by the time I could trade for them the rest of the deck could have rotated out and I won't be able to play it anymore anyway). Land: 7 x Forest  5 x Plains  4 x Stirring Wildwood  4 x Sunpetal Grove  2 x Tectonic Edge  1 x Gargoyle Castle  Creatures: 4 x Sun Titan  4 x Fauna Shaman  4 x Squadron Hawk  4 x Noble Hierarch  3 x Dauntless Escort  3 x Wall of Omens  3 x Overgrown Battlement  3 x Qasali Pridemage  Other Spells: 3 x Day of Judgment  3 x Path to Exile 3 x Oblivion Ring  I could use some help with the sideboard. Right now I'm using something like this: SB: 3 x Pithing Needle  (for planeswalkers) SB: 4 x Plummet  (for Malakir Bloodwitch, or anything else that flies but bloodwitch specifically since she can't be pathed/o-ringed) SB: 4 x Kor Firewalker  (for RDW) SB: 4 x Relic of Progenitus  (for Vengevine) So there's my pile. What can you think of to make it better? I play mostly at FNM events, but we get all the top decks there so I'm facing stuff like Jund, UW Planeswalkers, RG Bloodbraid/Vengevine, etc.

I currently plan on running a mono-green aggro deck at a new shop i've found to play some FNM. I posted a thread in the standard deck help, and it was definitely useful, but your advice seems to be just a tad more insightful sometimes. :P I want to build this deck so that it is just zen block and 2011, that way I can still use it after October 1st. this list costs about 45 dollars, and i would like to invest about twenty more into it if it could make it better. Main: 4x Llanowar Elves 3x Garruk's Companion 4x Leatherback Baloth 4x Mul Daya Channelers 2x Obstinate Baloth 2x Wolfbriar Elemental 3x Mitotic Slime 1x Garruk Wildspeaker 3x Vines of Vastwood 2x Brittle Effigy 1x Growth Spasm 4x Overwhelming Stampede 3x Explore 2x Tectonic Edge 4x Oran-Rief, the Vastwood 18x Forest Sideboard: (the stags rotate out in October, and they are the only card that does in this list, but they are only $1.50 apiece and I already own one, so I figure I'd go ahead and add them in since they are so good) 2x Autumn's Veil 4x Great Sable Stag 3x River Boa 3x Plummet 3x Mold Shambler any help you could give me to make it FNM capable would be extremely appreciated.

Hope I'm not treading on any advertising rules here, but, after eight long years of operation, TDC is at long last closing shop for the foreseeable future...to reopen where I've been hired over at Tcgplayer's standard forums.
I wouldn't rule out ever returning here, but if folks are looking for some clinic-advice from me, that's where you can find it until further notice.
Take care guys!
