This is a very slow turtle tribal. Pun intended.

You raised them from eggs

You trained them in the art of battle

Now they are ready to show the world their true power

Ooohhh the humanity

Oh dear god what have I done??

I'm serious. The plan is to do absolutely nothing for about 3 turns (ok maybe just a wee bit of ramp, not too much tho, don't wanna startle the turtles).

Then, and only then, will you let your first turtle loose. Oooh you may have to prod him on a little. But remember, he's a turtle.

Alright now it's all uphill from there and don't expect things to escalate quickly, cuz they won't. It may actually get slower. On the plus side all of your slow ass turtles survive a fair amount of removal; Abrupt Decay, Lightning Bolt etc.

What's this, your opponent has started beating the daylights out of you?? No problem, just trigger Mutavault's ability so you have EVEN MORE TURTLES and drop a Luminescent Rain or two calling "turtles" (duh!). That should drag the game on a little longer.

What this deck has going for it: Turtles

What does it lack: Speed, competitiveness, A combo, really anything you could want in a deck

But it has turtles! Many battle ready turtles

**Take out the Mutavault's and it's under $50.00.
