I found Rosheen one day and instantly fell in love with her. Even though she looks like old gregg, she really gets the job done when it comes to awesome Balefires and Savageborn Hydras. I started this deck with a more creature oriented list but, as this is a multiplayer deck, found a lot of them rather underwhelming.

I went through and took out Phyrexian Hydra, Feral Hydra , and a few others for more tech slots, while adding some non X cost creatures due to their synergy with the deck. Savage Ventmaw for example isn't necessarily easy to get out, but he could be the difference between a Reverberated Red Sun's Zenith for 8, or for 20.

My favorite of recent additions include Gelatinous Genesis and Orcish Settlers which both are extremely powerful/annoying when Rosheen Meanderer comes in to beef them up.

Thanks a lot to Shendu for his help making a lot of changes to the deck (despite me blatantly ignoring his recommendation to keep the deck more creature oriented! ;D )

I also have my first sideboard ever!!! When there's a blue player on the table I swap out Rampant Growth for Vexing Shusher and a Forest for Boseiju, Who Shelters All.
