Kavu 4 U
Let's admit one thing - control decks that focus on
spells tend to tear apart creature decks. Let's admit
one other thing - creature decks tend to be more fun.
This time, it seems Kavus are on everbody's mind. Well,
not everybody, but enough that I can post a few
decklists sent to me.
=====
started collecting magic cards just a month ago, and i
have about 7 decks,
but my fovorite one is my Kavu deck. the problem with it
is that it doesn't
get mana out fast enough. well anyway, here's the deck
and try to fix with
cards that are easy to get :-)
5 swamp
6 mountain
5 plains
9 forest
2 flametongue kavu
1 serpentine kavu

I've got my own ideas for a Kavu deck, but I thought
I'd start by tuning each of these individually. First,
the R/B/G one…
2 swamp
5 mountain
3 forest
2 Uborg Volcano
3 Shivan Oasis
2 Llannowar Wastes
3 Sulfurous Springs
4 Karplusian Forest
4 Flametongue Kavu
4 Sparkaster
4 Mire Kavu
4 Horned Kavu
4 Kavu Titan
3 Kavu Monarch
3 Haunted Crossroads
3 Terminate
3 Urza's Rage
3 Ghitu Fire (or Blaze)
You'll probably want Teferi's Web in there for the
Ghitu Fires, because of the large amounts of non basics.
Look at the fun trick of Sparkscaster/Flametongue plus
Haunted Crossroads! There really isn't much to this deck…it
could be a lot better, but I think the theme is
important here.
The other deck will have a R/G/W slant to it.
4x Kavu Titan
4x Radiant Kavu
4x Kavu Chameleon
4x Horned Kavu
4x Flametongue Kavu
2x Kavu Climber
4x Saproling Burst
3x Eladamari's Call
2x Heroes Reunion
3x Wax/Wane (split)
3x Armadillo Cloak
4x Seal of Fire
3x Brushland
3x Karplusian Forest
2x Rith's Grove
3x Battlefield Forge
2x Mountain
6x Forest
6x Plains
I know that land is gonna have to be fixed, but those
are my suggestions. I couldn't find a way to keep it G/W
without leaving much of the Kavu theme behind. The Call
is good, go get a Chameleon or a Flametongue when you
need it. That's pretty basic. The Radiant is there for
theme reasons, but a 3/3 for 3 with a sometimes useful
ability is alright.
Now these decks are all find and dandy, but the most
consistent and aggressive build is simply…<sigh>
Red/Green beats.
Kavu For You
4 x Horned Kavu
4 x Kavu Titan
4 x Flametongue Kavu
2 x Kavu Chameleon
4 x Raging Kavu
3 x Sparkcaster
4 x Fires of Yavimaya
3 x Urza's Rage
2 x Scorching Lava
3 x Hull Breach
4 x Saproling Burst
3 x Chimeric Idol
4 x Karplusian Forest
4 x Shivan Oasis
8 x Forest
8 x Mountain
The Lavas are there for Nether Spirits, but they can
put a hurting on regenerators or weenies too. Rage is
there for Lin Sivvi and any opponent with Islands. It's
an old trick, but putting the gaters together with
Flametongue/unkicked Titans is just fine and dandy.
I cheated a little bit, but TECHNICALLY Chimeric Idol
and Saproling Burst aren't creatures. And they are just
too good to pass up! If you're playing an aggressive
deck that has Green in it, you need to be playing these
puppies, or swap the Idols for Rishadan Ports. If you
want to cheat more, try something like….
4 x Llannowar Elves
4 x Kavu Titan
4 x Flametongue Kavu
4 x Birds of Paradise
4 x Blastoderm
2 x Shivan Worm
4 x Fires of Yavimaya
2 x Urza's Rage
1 x Scorching Lava
3 x Hull Breach
4 x Saproling Burst
4 x Chimeric Idol
4 x Karplusian Forest
4 x Shivan Oasis
8 x Forest
8 x Mountain
…which only sports 8 Kavu, but will probably win
more games. Such is life in Magic.
Until it is discovered that "Kavu" means
"One who possesses three nostrils" in an
ancient language, Make Mine Magic.
