For the green and white mages out there who wish they too could bounce creatures and draw cards like a blue mage, without giving up their big beasties.
Featuring flicker effects like
Roaring Primadox
, Restoration Angel, and Cloudshift, this deck abuses ETB triggers like nothing else.
Watch an early Gyre Sage or Champion of Lambholt grow incredibly quickly as you flicker your own creatures to great effect. You can even hold off an early aggro rush by flickering an
Azorius Arrester
or a
Centaur Healer
.
Of course, you'd expect Thragtusk and Restoration Angel to be big players in this kind of deck, and you'd be right! An interesting note - targeting a Restoration Angel with your cloudshift can get some extra mileage out of your champions or sages with a third creature on the field.
And talk about card advantage! With Elvish Visionary there for early draw power, Soul of the Harvest provides an absolutely disgusting amount of draw power mid-late game. With SoT on the field, the cloudshift on Resto becomes even more ridiculous - try it with an Elvish Visionary or Thraggy on the field.
Admittedly, there isn't a whole lot of removal in this deck. Aside from Oblivion Ring, it doesn't interact with the opponent's board all that much, which is generally a bad thing. I think Mana Bloom could be easily replaced for some more removal, but I don't know what.
