Need 1 creature to complete my naya deck?

Deck Help forum

Posted on Feb. 25, 2014, 11:27 p.m. by teamplayerx

Looking for mainly a big creature 4 drop or less. I already have 1 polukranos, the world eater on mainboard and one on side. I am not here to get into more of this card mainboard. I am simply asking is there a better creature out there for the 4th drop that is green and/or red or 1 mana symbol white that would fit better? I was thinking about Heliod just for the vigilance, but it is not realistic he would become a creature in my deck.

Bow to Naya?

Polis Crusher could be good depending on Meta. 1 less p/t, but trample.

Purphoros, God of the Forge is big, but doesn't synergize well.

Nylea, God of the Hunt is likely to be a creature.

Rubblebelt Raiders gets big if you invest.

Tajic, Blade of the Legion if you can keep up battalion strength.

Flame-Wreathed Phoenix kind of steps on Stormbreath's toes, but could work,

Felhide Spiritbinder could be an interesting, if not strictly high p/t, choice.

Im just gonna say this for notes, last PTG i went to about 30 % of people played some form of B/U/W or U/W control.

Raither000 thank you for your imput. I have tested out Flame-Wreathed Pheonix in tournament play, and basically I thought it was good, mainboard and or sideboard, and it's basically a dead card. there are better answers to their flyers.

Nylea, God of the Hunt I forgot about her, great card. Would synergize well too, with doubling of creatures with Xenagos, God of Revels then they all have trample, sick combo.

Polis Crusher I have seen a lot of people put them in their G/R monster decks on the website, but havent really seen it be successful in tournament play. I guess it would be great on the sideboard against control decks such as U/W or U/B/W control. It has proc Detention Sphere and destroys it after monstrosity hits after attacks. Trample is always a nice feature. I will think about it for sideboard. Maybe a couple.

Rubblebelt Raiders Idk that card was brought to my attention a few days ago. It would be great against a race and synergized with Xenagos, God of Revels . It feels like its more for an aggro deck, but im unsure of this card for naya. Good thoughts thought.

Tajic, Blade of the Legion i have seen that card before and forgot about him, now seeing him again I just want to buy him cus thats a great card. It would be great against control. Indestructible alone is amazing. just keeping creatures alive in G/R decks are crucial. I guess the other card i was thinking was Fleecemane Lion but that is more of a 5 drop, cus its really just a 3/3 for W and a G, until its monstrosity hits.

Felhide Spiritbinder your right could be interesting.. I think atm its too slow and needs to be in that minotaur deck after the minotaur for set journey to nyx comes out.

Also however Nylea, God of the Hunt may not be a creature turn 4. If you are playing against mono-black or a form of control which both combined is around 50-65% of people playing standard atm, they will most likely disrupt the creatures in the early game. Trample is a great ability though to all creatures, but at what cost.

I'm also thinking on sideboard about Imposing Sovereign in the mirror or against a heavy creature deck.

Thoughts?
