1  Vintage Community Discussion / Casual Forum / G/W Aggro Loam on: October 23, 2007, 05:05:09 pm
Land: 25
4 Tranquil Thicket(draw)
1 Nantuko Monastery(techy creature land)
5 Plains
9 Forest
4 Terramorphic Expanse(cant afford fetches, and it helps pump the vore)
2 Secluded Steppe(draw)

Creatures: 20
4 Wild Mongrel(good and powerful beater)
4 Werebear(mana accel and beater)
4 Llanowar Elves(mana accel)
1 Genesis(replay creatures)
3 Eternal Witness(gets stuff i need back)
4 Terravore(gets big fast)

Protection: 3
3 Solitary Confinement(holds off opponents)

Engine: 4
4 Life from the Loam(draw engine)

Control: 8
4 Armageddon(nukes lands, pumps terravore)
4 Swords to Plowshares(best spot removal ever IMO)

basically it acquires border contol through stp and armageddon.  from there it throws out bigguns like threshed werebears, and terravore. uses genesis and eternal witness to get back anything i cant. also utilizes the mighty loam draw engine.  Confinement holds off opponents if something happens to my beats. has been very successful in a variety of games.  good against aggro, good against combo, and good against control.  ideas?

Land: 21
21      Swamp

Creatures: 16
4      Ravenous Rats(decent creature with a discard boost)
4      Oona's Prowler(good beater that allows discard)
4      Augur of Skulls(best discard creature imo)
4      Dark Confidant(draw engine)

Kill: 4
4      The Rack(kills the opponent)

Discard: 15
3      Stupor(2 for 3)
4      Smallpox(hits every resource)
4      Duress(good discard, cant afford cashseize)
4      Hymn to Tourach( 2 for 2)

Creature Kill: 4
4      Slaughter Pact(very useful when tapped out and facing a goyf or something)

Basically, what this deck tries to do is set up early game discard.  After the opponent has little if any discard in hand, I start dropping racks to slowly kill them off with.  I am trying to find a replacement for Oona's Prowler seeing as I don't want to spend so much on her(and i think there may be better creatures out there)  The deck has overall good matchups vs. control, combo.  and about 50/50 vs. aggro.

what does everyone think i should do???

updated first list...

Since you're a new poster, we'll cut you a break, but these kinds of posts are really discouraged. As Ephraim said, posting decklists alone is bad, but posting something that essentially translates into "bump the thread" is also bad. This can be an opportunity for you to post again and explain your choices, what changes you've made, what you expect to face in the environment, what you're thinking about, etc.

The most fundamental rule is that if you aren't going to put in time to make a good post, nobody else will take time to write a good response for you.

Well, basically its a red/green aggro deck based on the concept of casting fires of yavimaya.  Once that's out saproling burst is used later for a quick win... as all of the other Fires decks...  It also uses some creature control and mana accel.  The budget is around 50$ due to the fact it being a cheap deck to build and run anyway.  This is just for playing with friends.
