Deck Description

Well, I was wanting to make a "support" deck for two-headed giant since my friends in college like to play it, but if need be, can stand off on it's own if my partner isn't doing so well.

I know the basic creatures to put in, Aura Gnarlid, and Kor Spiritdancer. My favorite choice, because I nearly splooged when I saw him in M11, Sacred Wolf, (3/1) with Troll Shroud. Can't be the target of spells or abilities your opponents control (The GOOD shroud).

Here is just a gist of why I have certain things in there.

Enchant Search:
Idyllic Tutor
Totem-Guide Hartebeest

Draw Power:
Kor Spiritdancer

Main creatures to enchant:
Kor Spiritdancer
Aura Gnarlid
Sacred Wolf

Enchants:
Umbras (Duh...)
Asha's Favor (Just for the effects of what they give me)
Celestial Mantle (Awesome enchant with a beefy Gnarlid.)
Lifelink (Incase I need quick life gain)
Pacifism (A card most of the people I know aren't aware of me pulling out)

Oracle I know shouldn't really be in there, but my #1 most favorite part of Magic, is Mana Excel, if I get lucky, by turn 6 (since it's casual, and not tournament where you die turn 4-5), I have more than double their lands. xD

I'll write more and edit it as I go along, this website is more so I can put my deck down and see it, and fiddle with it if necessary.

Also, CRITICIZE ME, I need all I can get.

Wow, never realized the size of this deck. o.o Someone hep me narrow it down.

Deck discussion for Umbra Deck (Need help narrowing!)

I have an aura deck that has 4 Umbra Mystics and 4 rancors which combo very well. I would replace Naturalize with Nature's Claim because if a creature with a non totem armor aura, or a totem armor aura itself were about to be unsummoned or killed, you could destroy your own enchantment gaining 4 life. I dont see how the mul daya oracle conforms with the rest of the deck, allthough that doesnt mean its a bad choice for the deck. I think i would take out 3 mul daya oracles the pacifisms and lifelinks out. Also, Sun Titan returns your Auras as well as creatures... Im just sayin

Well, with the Sun Titan thing, I'm not really a fan of him, and as much as I want to play him, he's just too big of a target, most people that I play against in my College is like.. "Non-black creature removal" mostly all the times. Plus, I'm not so funded. xD I got Oracles when they were $1 each.

I looked up Rancor, and that is a beastly enchantment, but I'm trying to keep myself around the extended area and up, even though I see stuff from Legacy and such.

Oracle.. well, even though she makes NO sense in MOST of the decks I play, if I have green, she's in there.

Umbra Mystic well.. I was thinking of her, and I didn't know if I SHOULD of had her, so I'm gonna. Lifelink is something I planned on keeping, maybe bounce Mantles and keep 2 Lifelinks?

Understood with Naturalize, but I try to keep it there, it's not really meant for my own stuff, more meant to kill off other things in my opponents field, Eldrazi Monument, Beastmaster, Pyromancer, etc. etc.

I will probably just narrow Oracle to 3 as said, and remove Pacifism, 2 celestials, and lifelink.

If you have anything else, please tell me. :)

Lol, you really like those oracles, huh. I have holy strength in my aura deck to beef up the sacred wolves a bit, but then again, I have hardly any totem armor. I would probably use the totem armors instead. ALso if your keeping the oracles you might want to consider armored ascension. It can get pretty big, even in a multi color deck, and it gives flying, which was a problem in my aura deck.

Well, the Oracles are like, my wife. xD Specially since I love the effect.

Well, it'd either be Holy strength, or Hyena umbra, which I think Hyena Umbra works a little better, gives it first strike, +1/+1, and totem armor, for the same mana cost.

I was thinking Umbra Mystic is good, but only for when you use no totem armor, a great aura for when you have no totems in hand, is Canopy Cover, Troll shroud like Sacred Wolf, AND Hover (Gives it flying, but doesn't call it flying. xD)

Oh yeah, Armored Ascension, that's a great Aura to put in, forgot about it. I was going to put indestructibility in it, but I shied away from it, and thought that Savage Silhouette is a good card, +2/+2 and regenerate for 2? I read online the rulings to Totem Armor, if you regenerate and have Totem armor, you can CHOOSE which one goes away first.

If you need a low drop for flying, Definitely Asha's favor, Flying, First Strike, and Vigilance for 3. :P

When I started to play Magic, they were at Alara Reborn, the ending of Shards, coming out with M10. So I was born on Conflux more or less. I also found Elvish visionary, 1/1 drop 2 to draw 1 card. xD Completely forgot about her.

I started playing magic a while after Zendikar came out, so I just missed the alara boat. I mean, I have a bunch of cards from conflux and reborn, but I dont have too many cards from shards. In my aura deck I have a few Garruks Companion, just because its 2 for a 3/2 with trample, that benefit from cards like Snake Umbra or Celestial Mantle. However because it requires 2 green mana, I always cast him lated than I would like.
