Deck discussion for When Walls Attack

This looks pretty cool, the only thing I would note is the mana curve, there's only 2 2 drops, and they're not 1st turn plays. Generally I like to try and get enough 1 drops so I can play them on turn 1. Also 1 drops are nice for when you have an extra mana laying around.

Also, you have a whole lot of enchantments, unless I'm missin something, which is possible for sure, you might want to cut down to one or two of the best/your favorite enchantments. I try not to run 1 of something unless I have a good fetch for it, and I try not to play too many decks that need fetch, cause I'd rather be killing you with that mana!

All in all though cool concept!

Hey thanks for the comments. I know that there are a lot of enchantments in this deck, it kind came together like that as I continued to replace the original life steal format for the tribal walls. The only reason I have one of some enchantments is because necropotence is restricted, and I like both sanguine and quandry but don't care which I draw. All the others are necessary to get the walls to be at their best, except the cradle, which is just nuts with wall of reverence.

As for the one drops I know what your saying, it is nice to have one turn cards. I used to have souls attendant and essence warden in here, but I ended up sacrificing them for the tribal theme. If it wasn't for the fact that valor made real can be an instant game over I wouldn't even have those in there.

I am glad you like this deck though, thanks for the comments.

If you could aquire some Verdant Catacombs it may be possible to splash 1 single forest into the deck to run Doran the Siege Tower. He's not a wall but his stats make him look like one and turn all your walls into major threats - even allowing an awesome card like Wall of Omens to do serious work. I'd probably cut Necropotence, Painful Quandry, and maybe Sanguine Bond (as a one of it doesn't seem to do much). Pillory of the Sleepless would probably just be better as Oblivion Ring or Swords to Plowshares. I think I'd also probably cut the Valor Made Real as well as they're just often not that good in my experience. Final suggestion is a gargoyle from Ravnica Block, whose name elludes me at the moment but also can let all your walls attack each turn and flys as well. Hope this helps a bit. Good luck with it.

Thanks man Ill look into the idea of using doran, he is a pretty sweet card. I'm going to cut the painful quandary and the sanguine bond, and probably the valors. I think that I'll also take out one pillory (it is my favorite card so it pains me) then I'll add two dorans and 3 oblivion rings.

Remember though that Doran requires a green mana to cast so you will need 1 Forest somewhere in the deck..

Yeah oops almost forgot, and I really wanted to used the verdant catacombs, but I can't drop $50 on four lands, so I'm seeing how the evolving wilds will work.

Yeah, that's understandable. I think the Evolving Wilds should be just fine, though occasionally annoying but at least they can also get you your white mana if needed.

I had tried him in a previous version. Excellent card but doesn't quite fit here because he doesn't get banding and with that the essence wall has more life gain potential.
