Creature (4)


The point of this deck is to field resilient creatures that are difficult to opponents to deal with, and plenty of removal and disruption to smash plans, and keep the damage coming in.

First, the mana base is intended to easily suit the needs of green and black equally. Overgrown Tomb, Woodland Cemetery, and Evolving Wilds all keep the mana on track, as do eventually the Farseek's. The Evolving Wilds have the added benefit of doubling as a target for the Deathrite Shaman's first activated ability which can be useful for specific color costs.

Creatures that deal damage are good, but creatures that continue to do damage, and can sometimes get bigger, but better yet just stick around are even better. Lotleth Troll and Predator Ooze with regenerate and indestructibility respectively are vulnerable to little other than Terminus or Cyclonic Rift on overload. The only way I've been able to play around this is to anticipate them and either hold back creatures, or plan on recouping with tutor and card draw. The other creatures support this end. Ulvenwald Tracker forces favorable combat which helps clear up the board and remove threats and attack flying creatures. Corpsejack Menace is a 4/4 for 4, which isn't too shabby, but he also boosts all my creatures that use +1/+1 counters. Garruk Relentless   bolsters forces with wolf tokens, and eventually tutors for creatures.

Removal deals with key threats to postpone the opponent long enough for aggro to do its job, and to break you out of binds. Abrupt Decay, Sever the Bloodline, and Vraska the Unseen all help eliminate what opponents were counting on as an advantage. Deathrite Shaman fits in here too, with his abilities to exile nasty creatures and spells you're tired of dealing with and all for value.

Underworld Connections is in there to make use of the eventual and huge mana presence on the board, and to keep the pressure on with card advantage.

Still a work in progress, comments appreciated.
