This is my new "Death Strike" deck, the idea is to throw a bunch of small Deathtouch creatures out and give them First Strike. Nobody wants to attack or block that, so now you are in control of combat. Win by using board pump Enchantments to load up your creatures and crush with them.
I have never built a Selesnya deck and this doesn't use the typical GW cards so let me know what you think. I always appreciate comments and +1's.
Wasteland Viper
and
Sedge Scorpion
start off the Deathtouch, they are cheap and deadly.
Deadly Recluse
is my favorite creature in the deck, he's the "little spider that could". Drop Ethereal Armor on him and you can curbstomp Archangel of Thune, Desecration Demon, Stormbreath Dragon and even ultimate Blood Baron of Vizkopa for 1GW. Oh, and guess what, he's still alive! Can't beat that.
Archetype of Courage gives everybody First Strike and takes it away from my opponents, combo it with Bow of Nylea and all my creatures have Death Strike.
With all the Black and Red burn and removal in Standard these days, Fiendslayer Paladin is a must when the rest of my creatures are getting wiped out.
Having a bunch of little Deathstrikers on the board can cause a stalemate where they won't attack and I can't hit with enough damage to win. That's where Vigilance comes in and Heliod, God of the Sun provides that along with a big body and token generation late game.
Ethereal Armor and Unflinching Courage are pumps for everyone.
Armed / Dangerous
forces my opponents Creatures to get into a battle that they can't win, and
Setessan Tactics
makes them fight a fight they're going to lose.
Dictate of Heliod is a card that instantly changes the momentum of the game. When four or five 1-2 power creatures become 3-4 power creatures, now you can lay down some game winning damage! It can also be cast with flash for great combat tricks.
Sideboard
Ready / Willing
and
Gods Willing
for Removal and Board Wipes
Tower Defense for Flying decks
Revoke Existence against Enchantments and Gods
Banishing Light against anything
