Onslaught's Words
cycle of cards provides plenty of draw-skipping tricks up its sleeve. When
comboed with the powerful card-drawing engine Slate of Ancestry and a slew of
quick, efficient creatures backed by mana acceleration, one member of the cycle
in particular, Words of War, turns into a board-clearing, opponent-burning
nightmare!

Elves Mourn for this when it leaves Type II. One of green's greatest
one-drops is to be no more.
Birds of Paradise The
Birds return in Type II, and their multi-color power of mana acceleration is
absolutely invaluable.
Ravenous Baloth A 4/4 for
four mana is efficient. Couple that with a life-extending ability to sac itself
to net you four life and you have an excellent beast.
Basking Rootwalla Great for early game pressure or handy for being
Madnessed in by a Mongrel.
Wild Mongrel The top dog
(or in this case, hound) lends its 2/2 body and discarding power to the early
onslaught of this deck.
Squirrel Nest Absolutely
hilarious when it draws you three hands of cards in concert with the Slate or
assists in blowing up your opponent's board via Words of
War.
Exalted Angel A quality flier that can move
the balance of the game heavily in your favor with its life-gaining
power.
Glory Despite Withered Wretch, still great
for dashing past a mono-colored defense and dealing the death
blow.
Wrath of God When Words of War can't do it
alone, Wrath's there to sweep the board clean and start
over.
Words of War The only direct damage spell in
the deck can incinerate all of your foe's creatures and disintegrate his life
total all at once.
Mirari's Wake The power of this
enchantment ramps up your mana for massive draw skips to Words of War and also
pumps your creatures.
Phantom Nishoba Nothing's
more annoying than a Phantom creature, especially a 7/7 one with trample and its
own Spirit Link.
Slate of Ancestry Card-drawing
power abounds in this artifact.
