Just a deck I've been thinking of putting together :)I'm trying not to buy any individual cards (I think that takes some of the fun out of it), I made exceptions only for the 1/1 deathtouches. I'll see how I can improve it with the KTK set, they have some cool deathtouch, and maybe I can find some of the rare artifacts from M15 up for trade. Still a draft, though.

The point of this deck is control: nobody's gonna attack someone with 3 1/1 deathtouches on the field, and usually this deck gets that out on turn 3 at the latest. Also, it's easy to attack because nobody wants to block a 1/1 deathtouch, either. Artifacts are for powering up those 1/1s and getting around effects like flying and first strike. Still looking for a solution to indestructible; in casual formats I'm using tragic slip but I can't find anything in standard.

Hornet Nest is definitely the star card. The primary win condition is if either your opponent messes up and attacks the nest or you use either Hunt the Weak , Savage Punch or Time to Feed to make Hornet Nest fight your opponents bigger creatures. I've definitely have some awesome comebacks from these cards.

March of the Returned is awesome in this deck because of hella card advantage, and to keep bringing those nests back because more hornet tokens never hurt. Indulgent Tormentor is a top end with flying (looking at you, Wingmate Roc) and some pretty good effects. That more or less wraps it up.

Please give suggestions!
