Introduction
Mana Bomb is quiet simple. Accelerate gain, play large creatures, smash face. Really, that's all there is to it! This deck is formatted using many common staples of the Mono Green Devotion toolkit while also adding my own spice.
My name is Byron and I'm new to Magic. I collected cards as a kid and now that I'm 26, I guess it's time to use them right? This is/will be my first MTG deck!
Mana Accelerators
Elvish Mystic - Opening hand wet dream. Allows T2 Courser of Kruphix or continued mana acceleration .
Sylvan Caryatid - Gives you mana of any color? Check. Hexproof? Check. 0/3 defender against aggro? Check.
Voyaging Satyr - Allows you to double-trigger Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx for absurd mana.
Utility
Courser of Kruphix - Gain health on land draw. A 2/4 for providing high early devotion
Nylea's Disciple - Same as the Courser, Nylea provides 2 devotion while also gaining life equal to your devotion. +7 health on T4 is more than doable.
Nylea, God of the Hunt - A low cost god that gives all your creatures trample. Obtaining the 5 devotion is easy giving you an early 6/6.
Frontier Siege
- One of the most powerful mana accelerators in our deck but the reason this is under utility is because, well, it's not just about the mana. In some cases, you may have more than enough mana to choose "Dragons." In that case, your Hornet Queen and her minions become heat seeking missiles with death touch.
Drop The Bass
Genesis Hydra - Huge mana hog, but can shifts board presence in your favor quickly. Combo with double+ Nykthos taps and/or Nissa's forest untap for extreme brutality.
Hornet Queen - Major devotion from , board removal with deathtouch tokens, or flying creatures to bleed your opponent to death. Easily one of the best cards in standard.
Polukranos, World Eater - A potential 5/5 drop on T3. The monstrosity lets you clear tokens, flying creatures, or put the hurt on your opponent.
Planeswalkers
Nissa, Worldwaker
- Gives you two devotion, massive mana acceleration, 4/4 elemental creatures, and an ultimate that can win the game.
Ugin, the Spirit Dragon - I mainly run Ugin for his -X. With our fat drops, you can easily remove your opponents board while keeping your minions safe. Keep in mind this WILL kill your mana dorks. His ultimate will most likely win you the game.
Lands
Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx - The devotion engine. Read it. Understand it. Love it. Nykthos becomes a positive mana gain at devotion.
Fetch Lands - Still undecided with these, but here's my logic. Fetch lands let you thin your deck to hit critical cards faster. Courser and Nylea make the health loss from these cards usually inconsequential unless facing a burn deck with a good hand. NEED ADVICE HERE!
