Always liked the look of the four horsemen deck but thought it was too efficient at doing what it does?
Enjoy gaining an excruciatingly large number of life, tokens and white mana?
Enjoy Goat based punnery to put your opponent on tilt?
Are you entertained by the idea of 1 quintillion Goats with power and toughness equal to their number swinging in at your opponents face?
Then this deck is FOR YOU!
How it works:
Go ahead and have a good old fashioned seat while I tell you how to make this beat-down real.
Firstly, you are going to need yourself some good old fashioned devotion to the God of Goats. 3 is enough, so run out a Knight of Meadowgrain or Glorious Anthem turn 2/3.
Nextly, the God of Goats (GoG for short) demands sacrifice. Ashnod's Altar is your go to man.
But now you need something for your ritual sacrifice! Your buddy Springjack Shepherd has your back. He brings the goats so you don't have to. Drop him like he is hot if you have a potential devotion of three.
Lastly, for maximum worship we have our buddy the Eldrazi Displacer. He can send the Shepherd back and forth to go get more sheep for us to sacrifice, to send the Shepherd back and forth to go get more sheep for us to sacrifice,to send the Shepherd back and forth to go get more sheep for us to sacrifice, to send the Shepherd back and forth to go get more sheep for us to sacrifice to... you get the idea.
BUT WHAT ABOUT THE FOURTH HORSEMAN?! I hear you manically yell. Sure. Gotcha. Well, once we have our love for the GoG settled, now its time to industrialize. Blasting station takes all your hard work from the Shepard and turns it into delicious processed pain. Just keep riding out the wave of ETB's and throwing down those station untaps and taps in response. Your opponent wont know what hit them (unless they are looking, in which case it is goat carcasses).
If all else fails, throw down a Goat of Arms(YOU HERD ME - THATS RIGHT, TWO FOR ONE), and Beat your opponent to death with giant goats.
DREAMLAND PLAY:
T1 Land, Expedition map. "Go... -at" It is very important that whenever you pass till end of turn you make your opponent question if you said go, or goat. Try and keep the t quiet until a few turns in.
T2 Land, Knight of Meadowgrain. "Go... -at"
T3 Land, Ashnod's Altar. "Go.. -at"
T4 Land, Glorious Anthem. "Go.-at" Really make it sound like Goat now. In the opponents end step, sack the knight to ashnods altar, sack the map for a springjack pasture, look them square in the eye and say "Goat"
T5 Springjack Land, Springjack Shepherd (tapping springjack land), dropping in 3 goats. Sac 2 goats for 4 mana. Play Eldrazi displacer with 2 mana and the last plains leaving you with 2 floating. Sac the third goat, spend three mana to use the displacers ability leaving you with 1 net mana and 4 goats.
Math time:
Take G = Goat. Take M = Mana.
Displacer (D) +4G + Shepherd(S) = Displacer + 2G + Shepherd + 4M.
D - 3M - S = D +2G +1M + S + 4G = D + 6G +1M + S OR D +5G + 3M + S
D + 5G - 3M - S = D + 5G + S + 4G = D + S + 9G.
OR D + 2 + 7G + 4M. And here we are, back at the start, up to 7 goats.
Choose a number. Any number. That is how many goats you have. That is a lot of 1/2 Goats. (Or not if you are unimaginative or practically minded). - "GOAT"
T6 Win. OR Gain infinite life/mana off of the springjack pasture, OR drop a blasting station and slowly/immediately ping your opponent to death behind a wall of goats, OR drop a Goat of Arms onto the field and have a giggle, OR walk away never to be seen again. Your choice.
Other Pieces:
Scapegoat: Oh man. A pun AND protection for our combo pieces? Yes please. Sack a goat, get what you need back before they remove it.
Trading post: Cycle those unneeded artifacts, gain some life, kill some goats, lose some life gain a goat. What more can you ask for?
