Deck Description

A Green/Blue Overkill Deck. Originally created with the express intent of messing with a friend. To use this deck is very simple, the tactic hinges on the Boneyard Wurm, +1/+1 Counters and a few choice Artifacts, Instants, Sorceries and Enchantments to compensate for weaknesses in Defense.

How to Play

Creatures like Centaur's Herald and Dawntreader Elk pack your graveyard with creatures as soon as possible, whilst still providing Mana and Tokens to cover your back. A combination of Alpha Authority and Forced Adaptation ensures your Wurm gets as powerful as possible, whilst being unnaffected by opponent spells and abilities. Elusive Krasis is also an invaluable source of +1/+1 tokens. Flying creatures may seem like a useful counter to this deck, which is why I have included Bower Passage. Let your opponent dominate the sky, it leaves the ground vulnerable to Wurm infestation. If any powerful or pesky winged beasts are getting you down though, Aerial Predation and Crushing Vines make short work of them. Glaring Spotlight stops opponents from utilising Hexproof against you. Very effective if like me you have a friend running an Invisible Stalker Aura Combo. Ghoul Tree and Death's Presense are afterthoughts, removable but can be insurance if one of your supped-up Wurms bites the dust.

Need to deal some quick damage? Use Giant Growth on Elusive Krasis, make the most of it's unblockable ability.

If you don't mind beefing up your Deck Size consider adding cards such as Gnaw to the Bone, to convert your sacrifices into life (recommended against speedy Red/Black Decks to survive until your own powerhouses take the field.) Alternatively use Prey Upon, take the fight to them and take out any pesky Creatures before you attack their Controller.
