Im talking 10 land stompy as noted several times in the opening post. I don't run it in my stompy at all but it is a reasonable card. If you're a player who cant find certain cards scent of ivy could be used in its place untill the cards you're looking for are in your possesion. Giant Growth and Bounty are more faster as you had noted and I had completely forgotten about the Tax Scroll/Tax Zuran Orb hand growereging thinger.

Scent of Ivy   /G
Instant
As an additional cost of playing Scent of Ivy, Reveal X green cards in your hand, target creature gets +X/+X untill end of turn where X is the number of the cards revealed this way.

This card is often overlooked since it seems to have poor synergy with 10 land stompy decks since they play there hands quickly.

A few upsides to this card is that in the early game, most if not all cards in your hand will be green giving your creature a large pump for early damage. In the control matchup your hand seems to accumulate from lack of playing as many spells, this lets you eventually resolve scent to give a creature a large pump if it resolves.

Scent of ivy is usually weak after playing all of your cards in hand which isn't rare as almost everything costs 1 or 2 mana. Although the point stated above may be true, wouldn't that statement apply to running emyrial armor or plate in a white weenie although most people do play 2-3 plates or armors in there white weenie decks knowing that there deck has a cc set at 1-2.

I have been testing the card in my 10 land and it works how expected. I see it as a green empyrial armor for 10 land stompy. It does work very well but its better off being used as a room filler since there are better cards to use in 10 land.

Tell me what you think. Discuss...

Hmm. Heres a deck i've been working on. Its a bit awkward and still in playtesting. Regular Nether void deck wityh white splash for Decree basicly... Yeah...

Sorry i dont have time to do rundown the card decissions. Suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

carnival of souls does kindof reek. It does however fuel for a free clamping on a creature so now it does have a use.

A deck design ive been testing for a while. The deck should be pretty straight forward but just incase. Simply through week creatures at clamp to draw cards. Tutor or draw Will. Through the creatures back into play and clamp em again. Tendrils after a few Duress or Therapy for the win. This deck is still in testing. Suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

were did u get sacing the zombie for 3 mana? its 2:D. Still works. I like the idea behind this deck.

Thats what a sideboard is for buddy.

Although blue outspeeds this deck, this is more fun to play.  And sometimes Survival works better than compulsion as compulsion you need 1U to dump a card and its not always a WGD and Friends. Witrh survival you get rid of one for an other for an other. Compulsion does however grab counterspells and such, leaving (IMO) compulsion and survival equal in this sort of build.

Use Survival of The fittest to get your WGD and friends into graveyard. Animate and win! I dont find colourless mana usefull in this deck. There are 16 creatures you can survival with(Including the EGS in the mana source) so the combo goes off pretty quickly.

Im a bit iffy on running Wheel since it gives my opponant card advantage. Red is just a splash but it seems I run a bit more than a splash of red, should I play Mox Ruby in this build?

As for the Knights and Soltaris, if im expecting alot of black I will run the White Knights and Soltari Monks and if im expecting alot of red I use Silver Knights and Soltari Priests. If im not sure I go with the pro-reds as there isnt that large of a selection in black that targets my creatures.

The landtax orb combo thins my deck. Balance also does great with Zuran Orb.

The remaining componants of the deck should be self explanitory. Please comment on improvement.

What I often check for is if my opponants fingersd are on there untapped lands during my turn. Another aspect is if there fingers are held on 1 card on there hand(usually force of will)

I think im going to take out the patron wizard, not for the fact of being slow or awkward, but my wizards are always tapped from attacking making it difficult to tap untapped wizards to juice the Patron. Back to the original list up top. Any other suggestions?

I had twiddled around with the deck and added patron wizards.

Patron wizard. Ive never seen that card being played but it would be interesting to try out since its a wizard rush deck, the tapping wizards to patron should work qiute well. What would you take out however?

Rather than fat beats, I went with a weenie'ish sort of kill. Vampiric Tutor>Mystical Tutor because at times grabbing creatures is more important(even if the loss of life does apply). I know the deck would function better with more fatties but I just feel like keeping at a small wizard sort of deck.

Read Voidmage Prodigy more carefully buddy.

I had tested a W/B/U version and a R/B/U version. The R/B/U version consisted with Fire/Ice's and Grim Lavamancers. In the W/B/U I had used Meddling Mage's and Swords. I found the Splash of white worked better than Red in a control metagame.
The only REAL mox in this deck is saphire as the other mox's werent added since they are only colour splashes. Im thinking of putting Decree of Justice in this deck since mana isnt hard to build up with mix's of Mana Drains, Mox's, Black Lotus. Please comment.

I want to keep mine mono black just for fun anywas. This isnt my only t1 deck anyways. Im also getting powderkegs which im gunna side against combo/artifact hate for this deck. What I seriously need is Disruption. I allready have 4x Duress but I find thats not enough.

This is my tendrils deck. Im sort of poor and cant afford duals so splashing an aditional colour wouldnt work. I do find that Sol ring helps more than Chrome Mox in this deck and I don't really like Chrome Mox myself. The problem that I find with this deck is disruption as there is very little as I souly rely on Duress. I tired Hymn to Tourach but I find it has bad synergy with storming. Sideboard help and other suggestions would be appriciated.
