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:
Prowling
Pangolin and Creeping Mold from 1 euro to 2 (or from 1 dollar to 2)
lotus
