G/W Midrange

by amspielman1 on 29 July 2011

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (15 cards)

Sorceries (2)


Instants (6)

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

Point of the deck. Control with O-Ring/Beast Within until you can play Garruk. Draw 4,5,6 cards with either Gideon/Wurmcoil/Baneslayer/Thrun. Bash for the win! Runs really well

Any help with possible options for switching some mainboard cards with sideboards cards will be appreciated. Can't figure out the perfect combination

Actually it seems similar to my idea for W/G.
http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=210532

I've tried birds versus overgrown battlement and find the wall to be better simply in that you can get more mana out of it and it blocks better. for fliers I have skinshifter or any removal. I will say I like baneslayer in this deck, I just haven't found room for it in mine.

You defintely don't need two more wurmcoils in the side. If you need 4-ofs of just one of your win condition its bad. especially for control. If it works, thats cool, I've just never seen it done but once or twice. I prefer naturalize and acidic slime over beast within. Something about giving them a creature or sacraficing one of my permanents for a 3/3 isn't right. Acidic slime is better: YOU get the creature and still destroy something, chances are the threat is an enchantment artifact or land. if its a creature you have fatties and day of judgement.

Something I've been considering is adding hunter's insight. even just a few can speed up this deck very well and it's easily splashed. Turn 4 baneslayer, turn 5 swing and draw 5. suddenly now you have card advantage and creature advantage.

I would highly consider playing either omen machine or grand abolisher in the sideboard for those match-ups against blue-white control. both those cards effectively negate any counters.

Sorry for rambling I'm just excited someone else is trying something similar. Hope this helps.

Haha, no problem! Thanks for the help! Overgrown battlement works fantastic with Wall of Omens. I'm so dumb for not realizing the awesomeness that is defender mana (haha). I'm not worried about Beast Within because of my now 8 walls. 3/3's don't matter much when I have a 0/4. However, my main problem, just like most people, is blue-white control (or anything with blue). Running four grand abolishers will definitively help, as well as a few omen machines in the side. I don't think that will be enough though (blue still has cards that can mess you up on their turn ie. Into the Roil).

I initially had the fear of facing Valakut or Splinter Twin decks, but my deck competes very well against. However, blue-white control is a bitch.
