Thresher Pangolin

 

This deck is a sort of "Lands Destroyer" based upon two creature: Prowling Pangolin and Thresher Beast, the color for this deck are black and green.
The deck was build with 55 common and 5 uncommond, some card, for example Feldon's Cane, are uncommon in 5Th edition but are common in their original set (antiquites for Feldon's Cane) or in same particular set (in the chronicles, Feldon's Cane was common).
The idea was simple, there are some interessant land destroyer in common cards i have chose Rancid Earth and Choking Sands.
A word about Rancid Earth, when the player that use Rancid Earth have more then six card on his cemetery, Rancid Earth destroy a land and do 1 damage to all players and to all creature, it was not so bad because elves are important only in begginning of game and some other creature for example WereBear when there is seven or more card in cemetery get +3/+3 in fact WereBear became a 4/4 creature with mana ability (T to add 1 green mano to your mana pool), in this way our mana was preserved and Rancid Earth can kill some creature in play.
Creeping Mold was the second uncommond that i have selected because this card can destroy artifac, enchantment and land.
Other common for control gaming are terror and naturalize.
As mana source i have selected llanowar elves and dark ritual (that need only one mana), and two quirion elves (or best Urborg Elf that can do olso mana blue, that can be used for stopping mtenda lions for example).

Some words about varius card:
Prowling Pangolin from Onslaught, this card is uncommon but not to hard to find, the Thresher Beast from Prophecy is a great common, Lotus Petal other great common, but very hard to find (from Tempest), Llanowar Elves from All classic set is very easy to find, WereBear from Odissey not very hard to find, Rancid Earth common but hard to find, it was from Torment, Choking Sands from Mirage (i have found this very well), the Feldon's Cane was uncommon in 5Th edition but you can search the version from Chronicles or Antiquites when this card was common, the Creeping Mold was the second uncommon, it was from Visions but was reprint in 6Th and 7Th ed it is not difficult to find (peraps you need only two!), Terror was common in most classic set, Naturalize was taken from Onslaught, Giant Growth is very easy to find it is common in All classic set and in ice age, Quirion Elves from Mirage and Invasion are very easy to find (you can try with Urborg Elf that can produce 3 mana: green, black and blue) and at last Dark Ritual very common in a lot of sets.
When you play with this deck you must put in play quickly Prowling Pangolin or Thresher Beast tipically in second/therd turn, (with elves or lotus petal and dark ritual) then begin to destroy land with sorcery or attacching with Threasher Beast and use WereBear and elves to mana or defense.
Point of stregth:
very quick, example:
first turn:
forest and llanowar elves
or
land and lotus petal
second turn:
dark ritual
Prowling Pangolin or Thresher Beast
etc...

Some Decks with more little creature that come in play quickly can be hard to wins (but in this case Rancid Earth in middle of game can do miracles), olso flyng creature are a great problem, but i suppose that the quickly of decks was a problem for other player that must use his creature to defense, in other you can use terror.
price guide:
