Good merry fuckign evening, here’s a super special awesome idea I came up with recently. Take a seat, listen carefully…

Mono Green… Land Destruction?

Rather than insult you more, i’ll go ahead and post the decklist and then insult you some more.

Creatures (18)
—
4 Greenseeker
3 Scryb Ranger
2 Thallid Shell-Dweller
4 Carven Caryatid
3 Wood Elves
2 Craw Giant

Non-Creatures (22)
—
4 Giant Growth
3 Aether Web
4 Rampant Growth
3 Moldervine Cloak
3 Creeping Mold
4 Mwonvuli Acid-Moss
1 Squall Line

Land (20)
—
19 Forest
1 Arena

Now, before I comment any further; don’t play this deck. It’s not very good.
With just a quick look over; you can pretty discern that it pretty much has a grand total of ONE good matchup.

Nonetheless, it’s a fun casual affair; unlike red LD decks which are early-game decks, this is a mid-game deck. In giving up speed, mono green has early land acceleration and stronger board presence with a bunch of cheap 5 toughness walls and Aether web, which is pretty much a removal spell.

Land destruction should begin on turn 3 or 4; mass land searching is good for slower decks such as this as it makes sure your mid/late game draws aren’t clogged with land. The deck should win via Craw Giant, or a Moldervine Cloaked Scryb Ranger.

Yes, I know. The deck sucks. But whatever; it’s fun and can happily reside in the “sometimes works” category. Fuck you and your elitist bullshit; I will play shitty and obnoxious decks and you can’t do anything about it. He also raped a bear… AND THAT BEAR WAS MY FATHER!

But no, seriously. It’s not that bad; not award winning but it’s probably a skeleton i’ll be building on for a while. For one thing, the deck has tools to deal with most situations and for another thing, Mwonvuli Acid-Moss is probably my favourite common from Time Spiral.

An idea i’ve been toying with would be replacing Giant Growth with Gather Courage; it’s a neat combat trick to flash Scryb Ranger in as a blocker and then use it to convoke Gather Courage.

Suck my ass. No seriously, don’t.
