I was thinking it would be a great resource for deck ideas that I can post on my blog. Problem is, I'm not exactly sure if I should start it in the casual decks, or general magic sub-sections. You should post it in the Casual forum. Sounds like it could be a good tool!

How about a version of the Classic Green Beatdown deck, lots of Mana Ramp + Big scary Creatures? BeatDown Ramp for $14.00 24 Forest 4 Llanowar Elves 4 Garruk's Companion 4 StrangleRoot Geist 4 LeatherBack Baloth 4 Garruk's PackLeader 4 Thundering Tanadon 4 Soul Of The Harvest 4 Rampant Growth 4 Triumph Of The Hordes One of my biggest personal issues with BeatDown decks, is the absence of draw - not here! Both Garruk's PackLeader and Soul Of The Harvest offer repeatable card draw, and trigger for most of the deck. If you aren't able to simply push damage through for the win, Triumph Of The Hordes lets you Infect for the Win! I don't think there's enough ramp there. strangleroot geist should probably come out for explore or borderland ranger . I would also drop 2 Thundering Tanadon for 2 lands. explore is nice because of the card draw.

So I figured instead I'd just pick a Legend and build around them. The Legend I picked is something I've never actually seen being played before Mannichi, The Fevered Dream ! Wizard Mannichi, The Fevered Dream Combo for $11.02 4 Halimar Depths 7 Mountain 13 Island 4 SparkMage Apprentice 4 StonyBrook Banneret 4 Prodigal PyroMancer 4 Sage Of Fables 4 Mannichi, The Fevered Dream 4 Serendib Sorcerer 4 Oboro Envoy 4 Stream Of Unconsciousness 4 Constricting Tendrils The idea here is to use Serendib Sorcerer , Oboro Envoy , Stream Of Unconsciousness and Constricting Tendrils to manipulate the power of your opponents creatures (ideally, manipulate all the way to 0) and then to have Mannichi, The Fevered Dream switch them so that they have a toughness of 0 and die. Mannichi, The Fevered Dream is absolutely integral to the decks plan here - so you really need to find one. Halimar Depths (especially alongside Oboro Envoy ), Sage Of Fables , Stream Of Unconsciousness and Constricting Tendrils all help with that. Return to Ravnica - Downsize + Mannichi!

You can put even a Delver, some burn and/or control... Mutagenic Growth works nice too Turn 2: Kiln Turn 3: Reckless + Assault Strobe get your Kiln to 10/2 with double strike Apostle's Blessing to protect your creature. Artful Dodge and Shadow Rift for unblockable bonus. I really like Gigadrowse on opponent lands or even creatures to be sure the combo goes right to his life.

Maybe not for Constructed play, but for Kitchen Table stuff...I disagree. Both Delver Of Secrets // Insectile Aberration and Grim LavaMancer are currently in Standard, Ponder 's legal, you have Dissipate , etc, etc. The biggest reason I wouldn't be doing this is because all of the Return To Ravinca stuff about to enter Standard - gets some great stuff. Epic Experiment is on my list. I'm going to figure that card out if it kills me.

That's entirely possible, I tested it briefly (and it functioned) but it would probably be a good idea to add some more Ramp. Sorry for not posting a deck yesterday - my internet continues to be unreliable! I haven't posted an Allies deck yet, and it's one of my favourite unappreciated Tribes (and thus can be made very cheaply) so I figured I'd post one now! Allies for $14.85 4 Terramorphic Expanse 8 Island 12 Plains 4 Hada FreeBlade 4 MothDust Changeling 4 Jwari ShapeShifter 4 Kazandu BladeMaster 4 Kabira Evangel 4 Umara Raptor 4 Momentary Blink 4 Into The Roil 4 Mass Appeal
