So this is my first deck and am very open to constructive criticism on how to try and make it work. I bought the Surprise Attack intro pack and have been editing it with cards I've gotten from packs. I have played 2 FNM with it and placed 8/8 the first time and 7/9 the second time. I like the main theme of basically turning anything into a 2/2 token and then potentially stronger. I am looking for suggestions to improve this deck, I know the standard way is 9 groups of 4. I was wondering which of these cards I should look to get duplicates of. I would also love any help on my land base because I have really just thrown it together. In games that I am winning I am finding that I am getting 2 or 3 creatures out and then swinging at them and using my other cards to stop any creatures they play in defense. I know Coat with Venom is a weird card in this. I simply have this in the deck because the guy who has taken first both times has a 3/7 dragon with hex proof and he just buffs it up and I can do nothing against it.
