R/G Nissa/Chandra Landfall Aggro/Ramp

Standard Aggro Budget Ramp RG (Gruul)

mcfancher


Pulled Nissa and Chandra from my booster and have had some great cards to make a landfall aggro deck so decided now was the time.

Typical opener with Scythe Leopard and Makindi Sliderunner and some spells to both ramp up how much land I have on the battlefield as well as boost my turn 1, 2, and 3 creatures and do as much damage at possible by turn 4 and 5. If unable to kill them, I know that most aggro decks suffer unless they throw in some burn to finish them off or they just don't have the creatures to support it so I made sure my 4 and 5 drops still got support from landfall as well as making sure I had the extra spell cards to continue bringing out land to boost my creatures and keep the board overwhelmed so that they can't block them all or trample comes into play to finish them off.

I put Nissa and Chandra both in because Nissa can start to get me cheap blockers and then start to pump my guys or if I'm hurting for cards if we go late game I can refill my hand pretty quickly. Chandra will help me keep the pressure on with her two 3/1 elementals and draw cards if I have nothing good or if I'm empty handed and depending on what I have and how the game is going I can attack first then use her to board wipe or use her big ability to get rid of any chump blockers and attack for the win.

My biggest concern right now is my sideboard. Currently I have some cards to help deal with fliers and I'm thinking Netcaster Spider would be a good sub for my 3 drops in case of fliers and I've got some other cards in there to do direct damage if they wall up but definitely open to suggestings.

Thought of this last night. Take any card that more than 5 CMC and replace it with the 4 drop creatures that trigger elemental lands when you bring a land in. Makes for a quicker win in the beginning or if late game you can combo lots of land drops and use the spell card as well to swing big with creatures and land.
