Sideboard


As the name suggests this is a Green big creatures/devotion/ramp splash Xenegos deck, I really want to call it Mono-Green but as my friend is always saying "You can't hack Mono". Anyway the deck is quite self explanatory but I shall give you an ideal setup that is not too far fetched:

Turn 1: Play a Forest into Elvish Mystic

Turn 2: Play a Shrine. Drop 2x Burning-Tree Emissary. Activate the Shrine for Green and drop a Kalonian Hydra.

Turn 3: Shock in a Stomping Ground. Activate the Shrine for Green and drop a Xenegos, God of Revels. Swing with the Hydra (and maybe the Burning-Trees depending on board state) augmented by Xenegos.

Also if you want any explanations on card choices ask away.

Turn 4: Drop a second Kalonian Hydra and maybe a Nylea, God of the Hunt for good measure and swing with all but the Nylea.

Could be better with a bigger turnout of Burnih-Trees on turn two but I thought I should keep to the more likely option.

any suggestions comments or +1's are greatly appreciated, I shall post how this does in FNM every fortnight (FNM alternates between Modern and Standard but I can always take this deck to Modern if I feel a bit sadistic), hopefully the results I post are not too embarrassing.

I'm not going to lie, my deck decided that it wanted to open near perfectly all night. Here is the break down:

Round 1: G/W Heroic 2-0

Game 1 - He took a while to get a creature out and by the time he did it was too late.

Game 2 - He managed to get a number of creatures out this time but nothing to back them up so Polukranos, World Eater ate his board.

Round 2: America Control 2-1

Game 1 - I spent the first three turns silenced but managed to drop a big board turn four and didn't see a Verdict.

Game 2 - Controlled to death with a mixture of burn and Elspeth.

Game 3 - Big turn two and three thanks to 3x Burning-Tree and some big Mistcutters.

Round 3: Five Colour Wonder 2-1

Game 1 - Mull to 5. I saw one land all game.

Game 2 - Very close but I managed to run over his super Chromanticore of doom.

Game 3 - He Mulled to 5. He only saw two lands all game.

I was very disappointed with this round as we only got to play one game basically and the deck looked very fun to play and was definitely fun to play against.

Round 4: Mono-Black Devotion 2-0

Game 1 - The ideal scenario that I posted in the description? That happened.

Game 2 - I saw one land but nearly all my mana dorks and he did not have enough removal to deal with them all before a pair of Arbor Colossi out and end to him trying to go over my head and then Nylea came out and gave them trample.
