Shai-Hulud, the Old Man of the Desert

Legacy Budget Casual Mono-Green Ramp Tribal

Lame_Duck



Please read before suggesting cards:

This deck is intended for Tribal Wars; a casual MTGO format in which at least a third of your deck must be creatures that share a single creature type. There are no sideboards.

I'm also on a very tight budget so the cheaper the better; anything above 1 MTGO ticket per card is too much unless it would have a big impact as a singleton in the deck and/or it would be useful in several of my decks.

Thanks for checking out my deck and I greatly appreciate suggestions and +1s.


The game plan here is pretty simple; play a ramp card - Joraga Treespeaker/Sakura-Tribe Elder/Mind Stone/Rofellos, Llanowar Emissary or Green Sun's Zenith for one of them or a Dryad Arbor - then turn 3, play a cheat-enabling card - Elvish Piper or Quicksilver Amulet - and turn 4 onwards: Wurms, Wurms, Wurms! The Wurms were chosen for their ability to either help stabilise against aggro decks - Engulfing Slagwurm/Elderscale Wurm/Sift Wurm - or to provide value when removed - Penumbra Wurm/Symbiotic Wurm/Worldspine Wurm - or both - Pelakka Wurm! It's also possible, although harder and slower, to simply ramp into the fatties; it usually requires a Rofellos, Llanowar Emissary or several ramp cards but it's a viable alternative if I can't find or can't stick a cheater.

The deck is intentionally 62 cards; due to rounding, it allows a slightly higher ratio of non-tribal to tribal cards.


If you're a fan of putting fatties into play via somewhat janky methods, I also have an Eldrazi deck:

Or if you just want more big, dumb, green creatures with long, thin, snaky parts, how about them Hydras:

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
