Title: Review My Modern Snake Deck Please
Post by: Castle Siege on June 21, 2013, 10:57:37 pm

http://deckstats.net/decks/2781/19425-deadly-snakes

A snake themed deck, seasoned with a touch of death (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Touch+of+Death) (meant to be a pun, that card isn't in this deck).

There are no Rare or Mythic Rare cards in this deck, but I have a few too many Uncommons for it to be considered a Peasant deck.

As of right now there really isn't a win condition, I use Ambush Viper (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Ambush+Viper) and Winged Coatl (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Winged+Coatl) as insta-kill flash (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Flash) blockers and buff them up with Rancor (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Rancor) when I need to. Disentomb (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Disentomb) and Gravepurge (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Gravepurge) let me bring my pesky "kill-snakes" back to my hand/deck so that they can be used as insta-kill flash (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Flash) blockers multiple times.

Thornbite Staff (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Thornbite+Staff) can make this deck really silly once it's equipped to something. For example, if I have it equipped to a Blight Mamba (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Blight+Mamba) , pay 2 to tap it and put a poison counter on my opponent and end my turn. If they go to attack me and I'm not tapped out, I can throw down an Ambush Viper (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Ambush+Viper) to block it and they both die, causing Blight Mamba (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Blight+Mamba) to untap. If I have 2 more mana I can tap him again to put another poison counter on them. Then it's my turn and I do the same thing again.

OR I could just keep paying 2 and tapping a creature with deathtouch to wipe out all my opponent's creatures and then swing with whatever else I have out, ideally a Blight Mamba (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Blight+Mamba) .

Hi, you can add Grafted Exoskeleton (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Grafted+Exoskeleton) to give infect to your other snakes and don´t depend only of Blight Mamba (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Blight+Mamba) as win condition.

Thanks for the advice, I'll put some thought into it :)
