I do like the deck conceptually, so I tried to play it against one of my own favourite home-brews called Cantrip Rider (Standard Eggs). I beat it easily 2-0, but that was entirely because my deck is long-game built, and your deck gave me enough time to stabilize. In fact, it is against exactly this sort of deck that I found Inaction Injunction to be so useful, as it prevented any early huge threats from being anything of the sort for at least another turn. I was able to board wipe via destruction, and get rid of the Worldspine Wurm s via Merciless Eviction , to me, a criminally underplayed card. Also, because my deck revolves around cycling through my deck multiple times and gaining huge amounts of life over time, I was able to fend off attacks without too much difficulty, and never worry too much about whether or not I would have enough removal. I would always find the same removal again later. I'd love your take on this deck of mine, if you have the time.

As regards your deck, the Golgari Charm would have helped somewhat, had I played against it post-sideboard, but I can't say how well it would go either way. I like that particular card, it's a great sideboard addition. So's the Sylvan Primordial , btw. With Garruk acting as your engine, you are totally justified in playing cards like that on a regular basis though I can't help but wish someone would play Giant Adephage , because a 7/7 trampling replicator is just such a neat concept I love green, and I think what you've made here is really cool. Keep working on it, I hope it works out in play for you. +1

I like your deck as well and I figure after sideboard it would've been a better match up. As for Giant Adephage hes good I just prefer worldspine etc.etc.

Okay so I have no idea whether you don't know how to play my deck or I don't know how to play yours but I used a max of 8 removal spells and still beat yours only losing 5 life as a maximum nycto... 4-0

It could very well be both. My deck relies on getting the appropriate cards early on, and if I don't get them I lose badly. However, one game I played between your deck and mine you were at 50 or so life before I stabilized and started turning the tables. It's just that in the end, Supreme Verdict , Merciless Eviction , and Ashen Rider all kept wiping the board. If it didn't work, then my deck didn't get the draws required. That's pretty much all there is to it. I'll play them a couple more times.

I may very well not have been playing your deck correctly, but it still seemed about a 50-50 split between which decks won. I'm understanding the Garruk engine a little better, and I have to admit it demands a lot of respect.

On a different note, maybe sideboard in two Arbor Colossus for those irritating Stormbreath Dragon s

I have definitely thought about that. Only issue I come across there is the matter of the fact that usually in a race for someone to drop that and a race for me to drop any creature that says good fight kid you lose. I usually win. If a Worldspine Wurm doesn't hit by 3rd turn then Polukranos, World Eater does every single time. Okay you drop your Stormbreath Dragon lemme just zap him right quick and nuke your face for 9.

This is how to turn two win with 2 more cards

Turn two standard win? Yes.
