you cannot tell me that you have power but not swords to plowshares and disenchants and such those are cards you should have simply lying around but i do agree with you simply on the idea that basic gro-a-tog is better than miracle gro because it is faster because i have played both a against goblins and if you have a high speed aggro meta then you need maze of iths and idk crawlspace or silent arbiter because ur usually only attacking with one creature in grow. good luck with your deck  

thank you very much for your opinion i am very grateful that someone responded and so far my tests have gone pretty good. so fat the average kill is turn sixish and the green is pretty useful because of sterling grove and regrowth and i use the sterling grove to tutor for the cards like humility, land tax, and pestilance. but thank you again for your constructive criticism and i think that u do have good ideas thanx for your time

oshawa always a classic deck but in my opinion is oshawa even decent anymore? i mean yeah it's fun and cool but can it ourace slavercontrol or get past the 3sphere regardless of its restriction because good stax players will switch in sphere of res. also you do need 4mongrel and more importantly you must, must,MUST lower the deck down to 60 cards or atleast around it because smaller decks are definetly better

sorry to be harsh but yeah switch to like gr beats instead of oshawa beats is much better in my opinion a nd they do use some common creatures in certain builds

i personally believe that the required blue cards for FoW required in a deck for FoW's use is what toad said 100% i agree that 16 should be the minimum but the ideal amount would be in my opinion relevant to if you use power and your mana base

hello everybody I am a new user on the mana drain and this is my first post so bare with me

     parfait everyone has heard of it and i have seen a few players playing a version here and there at mana drain events but it doesnt seem to be too popular with mtg budget players. i recently have been working on a build of parfait and the usual build that i see is red black white and it uses the land tax scroll rack engine. well i have been bored lately and have built a version of parfait that uses land tax but i personally thought that i did not need the scroll rack, and of course it kills with belcher. now the colors i have chosen are white green black. i know right now you are saying that i am pretty insane but my playtesting against friends in my town and they are pretty decent i guess one of us plays stax another plays enchantress   which is a really fun match up for me because of post board. ok on to the deck list.


mana base
3 swamp
8plains
4 forest

enchantments
4 land tax
4 sterling grove
3 humility
2 pestilance

artifacts
3 goblin charbelcher
4 zuran orb
1 sol ring

instants/interrupts
4 argivian find
4 wing shards
4 swords to plowshares
1 enlightened tutor
1 disenchant
1 wail of the nim(maybe spoils idk)

sorceries
2 duress
4 night's whisper
1 demonic tutor
1 balance
1 regrowth

sideboard
4 aura of silence
4  warmth
3 engineered plague
2 tormod's crypt
2 gilded light


so far every game i have played with it against friends and other people i know it has averaged around a turn five victory and when i compare that to other decks like white weenie and the rock which is basically some of the metagame at my tournament i participate in. so basically i have a anti control metagame because people there still think aggro is great and the only reason control loses in my opinion is because there is just to much rush. i also am constnatly going up against a person on tmd that lives in my town in round one or goblins and i always get screwed because he is a great player and goblins just are too fast and too stupid so basically my tournament is one big non blue deck tournament except for me when i play G.A.T. and tmd user when he plays any deck lol. so i would appreciatte any criticism both constructive and just plain old mean and i also would not mind advise either

     i hope everyone enjoys my article and don't think less of me for writing it
 and more importantly thank you for your time.
