Hi just wanted to share my cheap
green deck. Here's the deck breakdown.
1CC
3 Seal of Strength (+3/+3 enchantment
and disenchant bait)
4 Rancor (the BEST
creature enchantment, works awesome with faders)
4 Skyshroud Ridgeback
2 Rogue Elephant (combo with Harvest
Wurm)
2CC
2 Harvest Wurm (combo
with Rogue Elephant)
2 Balduvian Bears
(staple 2/2 creature)
3 River Boa
(regenerating islandwalker that swings for 2)
3CC
2 Trained Armadon (had these laying
around)
3 Horned Troll (another
regenerator that swings for 2 only slightly
tougher)
3 Silt Crawler (just make sure you cast
everything before playing on
your turn)
1 Uktabi Orangutan (sweet monkey picture
and artifact removal)
4CC
4
Blastoderm (mean, green beatstick)
3
Creeping Mold (utility artifact, land, and enchantment removal)
2 Serrated Arrows (weenie creature
removal, most useful Homelands card)
1
Root Greevil (back-up enchantment removal, silly flavor text)
5CC
1 Overrun (YEEHAW, everybody rumba!)
21 Forests. I used New Waves deck optimizer to calculate my mana
requirement
and this set up will get me what I need almost 65% of the time.
There's not much to playing this deck.
Just get the creatures out and
start beating. Don't hesitate to
throw Rancor on your creatures because it
will return to your hand if it
ends up in the graveyard to be used again. I
like the combo of Rogue
Elephant and Harvest Wurm, 3/3 for one mana is a
great way to start the
beatings. You know you'll get the land back if you
have the Wurm in
hand plus there's only 1 card with a casting cost of greater
than 4.
20 cards have casting costs of 2 or less.
If your opponent is playing 2 or more
colors use the Creeping Molds as
land destruction and keep them mana
screwed.
I made this deck because I was
tired of the "arms race" and not
finding the latest and greatest cards or
having to pay an arm and a leg for
them. I had all these cards lying
around. They may be hard to find but I've
found Serrated Arrows,
Rancor and River Boas in the common bin at the local
card shop. This
deck would probably cost as much as a Spritmonger to build
from scratch.
Have fun.
