MGC----Mono Green Control

[InZane]

What do you think about this deck idea? it's no serious deck... just fun to play...

Mana:
15  Forest
1   Strip Mine
4   Wasteland
4   Llanowar Elves
4   Fyndhorn Elves
4   Elvish Spirit Guide
1   Mox Emerald
1   Sol Ring
1   Lotus Petal

Controll:
4   Root Maze
4   Icy Manipulator
4   Tangle Wire
4   Trinisphere
4   Winter Orb

Removal:
2   Powder Keg

Broken:
1   Regrowth

Win:
2   Gigapede

Are there any better way to win than gigapede?

Trinisphere doesn't interact well with Root Maze and Tangle Wire. There's a big thread about green land-destruction-control in the Open Budget Forum:

Many lists there could give you some ideas for better builds, because they are using similar cards but not that many artifacts.

as you can se, this is not a land destruction deck... what do you think i should play instead of trinisphere?

Not enough content for the Open Type 1 Forum, moved to Newbie.

Stunted growth.  Of you can get to the mana for it, putting cards ontop of library is devestating, and its one of the few control effects green has.

I'd drop one or two icy manipulators for a naturalize or two, maybe even throw in a couple of worldly tutor's to grasp the win with a gigapede?

If you want to continue this, I recomend adding 3 [card]Living Wish[/card]'s.
You could have these in place of Trinisphere.  With these you could have [card]Viridian Zealot[/card], [card]Viridian Shaman[/card], [card]Dust Bowl[/card] Etc.. I still don't think mono green could run well as a control deck, It is plasable if you run black for Yawgmoth's Victory, Pernicious Deeds, and Duress's to stop certain decks from shooting right through your locking mechanics.
Also I would suggest -3 Gigapede +3 [card]Troll Ascetic[/card], the trolls are pretty good or so I hear

Why aren't you running Sylvan Library?  I'd up the powder kegs up to 4 and run bind.
