My take on standard Selesnya aggro. Trying to keep the budget under $200 for the deck total. Any suggestions especially sideboard suggestions are very welcome! Now to go over the cards.
=======================================
Loxodon Smiter A very good card. A 4/4 for 3 that can't be countered is great. Add in that against the few discard decks out there, he comes in for free, he is a monster.
Experiment One A great one drop. Very basic for most green aggro decks. Get's pumped up really easy.
Boon Satyr
The ability to flash in a creature with above average power for its cost is always a good thing! Allows me to block creatures my opponent thought could get through.
Soldier of the Pantheon Protection from multicolored and and possible lifegain on a 2/1 for 1 body? Yes please.
Fleecemane Lion
3/3 for 2 is awesome by itself. Monstrosity can go off if the game goes on long enough to make him a lot harder to deal with.
Advent of the Wurm
Another great body for it's mana cost. 5/5 with trample for 4 on instant speed is great.
Ajani, Caller of the Pride +1/+1 Counters and his -3 ability are his usual use. Lets you hit hard and early with a flying double strike creature.
Rootborn Defenses Makes all my creatures indestructible to prevent some boards wipes and can also populate my wurm and centaur tokens.
Unflinching Courage Great enchantment. Let's me hit hard and gain life.
Selesnya Charm
Great utility card. Mainly used for removal of big creatures and trample.
Call of the Conclave Instant speed 3/3 for 2 that can also populate.
Unflinching Courage Great little enchantment. Lifelink and trample are always useful.
=======================================
SIDEBOARD:
Sundering Growth
,
Detention Sphere
and Ratchet Bomb removal! Plus populate! May replace this with
Fade into Antiquity
for god removal as well.
Celestial Flare
Let's me take care of pesky pro-white creatures!
Last Breath
Removal for cards such as Master of Waves.
Pithing Needle Fairly standard for just about every deck. Useful against control.
Mistcutter Hydra Great creature against MUB and U/W Control. Pro blue and uncounterable on a nice body is well, nice.
Also have extra Rootborn Defenses so I can move up to a playset depending on the match up.
====================================
I'm still fairly new to magic and I would like some feedback before I actually go out and trade/buy all the cards needed for this deck. I am looking to make it competitive at something like FNM. Thanks to anyone who helps.
=====================================
Just hit my first FNM and here's the results in a nutshell:
RDW: I won 2-0. He just couldn't keep up with my threats or life gain. Second game he got mana screwed.
RDW: I lost 2-0. Both of these games I was terribly screwed over with mana. I mulliganed down to five in the first and top decking 4 land in a row in game two.
White Weenies: I won 2-0 I was able to race him when he had a 9/9
Hopeful Eidolon
on the board against my
Fleecemane Lion
with Unflinching Courage equipped. I top decked a
Selesnya Charm
and exiled it, then swung for lethal. Game two I was just able to beat him down for an easy win.
American Control: I lost 2-1. The first game he just outlasted my threats (barely) and was able to stabilize and get in with AEtherling. Game two I was able to beat him down quickly with Mistcutter Hydra. Game three I just had a bad hand again after going down to five and didn't draw into any threats.
Azorious Control: I won 2-1. Game one I was able to get aggressive and barely finish him off before he stabilized. Game two I couldn't keep up with Elspeth, Sun's Champion and her token generation. Game three I drew into almost an ideal hand and killed him on turn four.
Over all very happy with the decks performance.
