The idea is
to get poison counters across. Throw damage out the window. I don't
usually even keep track of how much damage I've dealt to my opponent when I play
this deck. The creature destruction clears the way and/or eliminates
exceptionally powerful attackers. The Tawnos' Wands make an easy way to
get a marsh viper across.
The primary (and as of yet ONLY) defense in this deck are the
Fogs and Undergrowths. The idea defensively is to take as many attacks as
possible while they have a relatively low amount of creatures out and to keep
your life above 5, in case you need to use the Ashes to Ashes. Then start
surprising them with the damage prevention and go at them while their creatures
are all tapped.
The biggest problems I've faced for this deck are 1) decks
that run heavy black so my destruction is less effective and 2) burn decks that
Fogs and Undergrowths don't work against. Quite frankly, I have given
little or no thought to a sideboard. I would be delighted to recieve
e-mails with some help on those last couple of things.
Yarrr...
