Must have:
Hero's Downfall - Good defensive move.
Collected Company - All but two of your creatures have a CMC of 3 or less.
Life's Legacy - Use it to sacrifice Deadbridge Shaman so they discard a card and you draw a card.
Thoughtseize - Cheap and easy spell to disrupt them.
Winds of Qal Sisma - Another good defensive move.

What were you thinking in terms of a secondary strategy?

I was thinking discard as my secondary.

Elvish Mystic and Verdant Haven never hurts.  Along with Sylvan Caryatid, and Voyaging Satyr to combo with Verdant Haven.

Deck Reviews / Help with my Green/White Renown deck?

I had an idea to combine the Renown mechanic with some Bolster cards, but I feel this deck doesn't do enough Renowning and putting on too much counters.  Can someone help, please?

General Magic / Help With Black/Green Elves?

« on: September 20, 2015, 07:47:26 pm »

I'm trying to build a black/green elf deck for standard, I have somewhat decent choices for my monsters, but when I get to the instants, sorceries, and enchantments, I just lose my mind!  I don't know what I want to play!  My main angle is to get ready for the Battle for Zendikar release, and its new line of Eldrazi (bc I believe they're gonna be a deck to look out for that format; either them or Landfall/Awaken).  Here is how my current build stands:

Lands- 24
4 Jungle Hollow
4 Evolving Wilds
4 Llanowar Wastes
6 Forest
6 Swamp

Creatures- 22
4 Gnarlroot Trapper
4 Elvish Visionary
4 Dwynen's Elite
4 Deadbridge Shaman
2 Eyeblight Assassin
2 Shaman of the Pack
2 Dwynen, Gilt-leaf Daen
2 Sylvan Messenger

I was also considering throwing in some Plains and Sandsteppe Citadels for some delicious Abzan Charms, if I can't think of anything else.  Would this be a good idea?

My Rakdos Deck

A deck I built only from the Rakdos Raid intro pack since I'm a newb.  It utilizes the Unleash ability.  If you want to help me fine tune it, feel free to leave suggestions in the discussion.
