Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

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

I strongly believe that we'll be seeing an even bigger shift towards aggro in the near future, so I've put this deck together to deal with it. It uses lifegain to survive, as well as a few cheap giant creatures. It's made entirely of SoA block, but I'll be adding more cards as they come along.

I still feel as if this deck is missing something, so all reasonable criticism will be well received

Deck discussion for Block Survival Deck

What is it with people and only using 20 lands? I am pretty sure you need more, but I am getting sick of telling people this. At least you have a little mana ramp to balance it out.

Yeah, normally I'd never use 20 lands, but I like to count every 2 ramp cards as 1 land, so I think of this as a 24 land deck. If you think that's not enough, what would you recommend taking out to add more lands.

Noble Hierarch > Steward of Valeron.

Steward is good but Noble is better. First turn ramp instead of 2nd turn that requires both green and white.

It feels like your deck is too slow to stand up against fast aggro. Its a nice idea and all, but your creatures are too easily killed. Its cool to have your creatures vulnerable as long as you have removals to remove your opponents. You have red and white to pack some defense in your deck, use it!

It would be sick to have your Mayael's Aria in play and benefit from Cradle of Vitality and your healing creatures. You just need to make sure your creatures stay alive and can stay in play from the time you first play them to the time you actually get all your "combo" in.
