As young men and women get older, they may notice certain unusual changes occurring with their bodies. It can be startling at first, even scary, but I'm here to tell you that these changes are perfectly natural, and even normal.

The onset of puberty happens to both men and women, around the approach of their teenage years.

Amoeboid Changeling

Shapesharer

Some may start earlier than others,

Mothdust Changeling

And some may start later,

Taurean Mauler

But it's a process that everyone goes through. You are not alone in this journey to adulthood.

Jwari Shapeshifter

Mutavault

Common changes you may notice include: hair growing in new places,

Rageblood Shaman

An increase in perspiration,

Lord of the Unreal

Frequent mood swings,

Goblin Chieftain

Aggressive inclinations,

Dragon Tempest

Tendrils protruding from the mouth,

Galerider Sliver

Feelings of uncertainty and confusion,

Silumgar's Scorn

And many, many more. At some point in our lives we will all experience these physical, and emotional, alterations.

Blades of Velis Vel

Wings of Velis Vel

Though not everyone will have the same exact effects.

Fire-Belly Changeling

Merrow Reejerey

Captain of the Mists

Striking Sliver

Dragonlord's Servant

But have no fear. All of this is merely a sign that you are a healthy, growing young man or woman, well on your way to adulthood. Be proud of your body, take care of and respect it, and others will do the same.

After some playtesting, card searching, and a great recommendation in the comments, inspiration has fully struck for some deck alterations. The deck that I've come to refer to as "The Puberty Deck" around my friends is becoming one of my most fun projects yet, in my attempt to keep the gimmick and humor of the idea, while also making it as strong as I can. I think I've found some good options.

Silumgar's Scorn and Dragon Tempest bring the deck away from its previous status of being almost purely creatures, giving me a bit of utility to work with. Taurean Mauler has also won me over, in place of the old Fire-Belly Changeling, who has itself been moved to a new Sideboard. I normally don't do Sideboards for casual decks, but I thought that one fit the theme of the deck well, and it helps me keep some more cards on display without having an unsightly large Maybeboard.

I am seriously having so much fun building this deck, and any and all recommendations are hugely appreciated. Thank you everyone for the support!
