Deck Description

:D front page! Sweet!

I am working on creating a white green aggressive deck for standard. Below is my idea, which I think might work. Of course, like most decks, there are many key cards I'm leaving out, such as captain of the guard, captains call, odric, sublime archangel, and a few others.

The sideboard includes erase for rancor, oblivion ring, and other enchantments, acidic slime and O-ring there for nonland perms such as wolf run(slime kills lands) and any problematic artifacts. Planar cleansing for when my opponent runs crazy combo decks that involve lots of permanents and card draw,(also, combos well with thragtusk and rancor) Faiths reward to fight against planar cleansing, fiend hunter and prey upon for the great white weenie.

If you have any suggestions, feedback, or criticism please share, although I may not do everything you guys say because I have, like, ten bucks right now, and won't get much money for a while, but once I do I will work on getting the right cards for this deck.

I suppose this deck isn't exactly made for tournament play, but more for competing at FNM every once and a while. It is also the first time I actually really got excited about creating a standard deck.

UPDATE:
I decided this deck can definitely be improved.

So, I have a few questions for you guys to answer:
should I put in arbor elf or avacyns pilgrim? if so, which one, and what should I take out?
Should I look out for any odrics?
go for 4 champions of lambholt?
more stuff?

Oh, and I feel like my sideboard is a bit lacking, anything I should do about that?

UPDATE 2:
-1 predatory rampage, thragtusk, plains, and oblivion ring. -2 doomsayers
+4 pilgrims, +1 champion, and one yeva.

Also, sideboard is a little bit fixed up.

Deck discussion for A Standard Idea I think may or may not work.

Man, I was really hoping that this wouldn't be human heavy. Not saying that it's bad. I just don't have a lot of humans to do a deck like this, so I try and take a more monstrous approach to it. I've got the land for it, just not any idea for how to do it well without using humans.

Still, nice deck.

I think you should try a mono green approach if you don't wanna be stuck with humans. I think mono green aggro has really become very powerful with the release of the new core set, especially with the release of rancor and the legendary girl who lets you flash out creatures. But, wolfir silverheart, thragtusk, mayor, and sigarda are pretty damn monstrous in my opinion. Good luck!

use mayor of avarbruck, while its a human it buffs other humans and if it becomes a werewolf, you have a card that pumps wolf tokens, there isn't a loss in adding it

so... did you bother to look at the contents of my deck?

Anyways, yeah, already got 4 of em', probably the best(or second best) werewolf in the block, so amazing.

I HATE it when people "try" to help, when they didnt even look at the deck to know what it may need...

Anyway, this is a cool deck, id love to see it when you've added all the M13 to it.

yeah, I'm not sure I'm gonna end up getting all the necessary parts, there are so many good G/W cards.

To name a few there is sigarda, ulvenwald tracker, hamlet captain, captain of the watch, midnight haunting, mentor of the meek, captains call, avacyn, thalia...

And the list goes on. But if there is one thing that would be really nice right now it would probably be a way to squeeze in arbor elf, so that I could pull off a turn four thrag tusk, turn two champion of lambholt, ect.

i would put in silverblade paladin, op as hell.

also pilgrim could work if you want mana fixing, since he's also a human :)

true, true.

What to cut, is the question.

Guess I'll have to construct the deck and play a few games to know for sure... But damn there are a lot of important cards in standard right now...

Restoration angel is something that would be nice to own, but their pretty big right now, not many stores own so many copies anymore....

I have no idea about anything standard, I haven't played it since... Well actually I only played standard three times, and that was because my friends wanted me to come to FNM >_>

This is pretty cool, I just have no idea what's in, or what's in the meta

Looks like a solid aggro deck!

I have an idea u might like for m13. its a mono-black that still has a few cards from previous block but i know what i will replace when it rotates. Its control-ish but plays big creatures fast with lots of card draw.

Help me get to the front page with this one!!

your mana base is off I recommend Razorverge Thicket. (Don't you dare reply to this by saying well it's cycling out! "In Three F***ing Months" don't let the deck be lacking because something is cycling out.)

Just to defend those that you're calling out, some cards can get rather expensive, rare lands included. I for one would rather wait a few months for a new land which I could spend $5 on and use for a year than spend $8 now on one card that I can only use for three months. If you think it through, it's cheaper to prepare for the cycle than it is to buy old cards and THEN their replacements. Yes, the deck may be "lacking," but your wallet won't be. Some people have better uses for their money than soon to be outdated cards.

Fluffyweresheep, if you have the thickets, use them, but don't bother going out and buying them, it's kinda pointless now :)

Actually, I rarely have problems with mana. but yes, if I had thickets, I would use them.

Gaspartacus, Magic is buy and sell if you can't handle that don't play competitive. by the way Razorverge Thicket has dropped about 3 dollars since Avacyn Restored was released so it's like $6.00.

$6 for a little trading card is still a lot. I'm just saying, some people have more important things to attend to than buying cards, like families to support. It's a game, not a lifestyle, and if you can't handle that don't bother trying to have a family, or something that really matters in life. Yes, you can buy and sell. But assuming that everybody has cards to sell or the money to buy is pretty ignorant.

just going to say I am 23 years old have a great family and don't need some loud mouth brat telling me otherwise I am very financial secure you obviously have money problems. don't assume you know someone over the internet. I am happy with my life and you can't tell people what to do. hope that's a life lesson for.

Geeeez... this is a sweet deck. Consider Cathar's Crusade (works like a champ in this deck, I think) and the white green pump land, uhh... Gavony Township. Thanks for commenting on my deck!

-1 silverfur
-2 thraben doomsayer
-2 oblivion ring

+3 Cathars' Call
+2 fiend hunter

I personally hate thraben doomsayer. Completely illogical is a possiblity, but I think cathars' is 10x better when in reality it's not, and I know this, lol.

Fiend hunter better supports cathars'. Could replace O ring entirely if you played cathars'.

One last idea to plant, is a lot of people are playing a lot of reomal. Your playing green. If you so decided to go with 2 cathars' and an asceticism I wouldn't blame you ;). Nice deck, but I not super fond of wereeolves. Haha

have you thought of blessings of nature or revenge of the hunted? both really helpful miracle cards

im not sure if they have already been said but aswell as the miracles hunger of the howlpack is a really good buff, also restoration angels, bouncing your thragtusks is good as you get the 3/3 creature another 5 life and thragtusk back on the field

I'd say pull out the Thraben Doomsayers, Predatory Rampage, and an Oblivion ring. You could also pull out the increasing Devotion.

Good cards to add are Silverblade Paladin, Restoration Angel especially, and Avacyn's Pilgrim. You should also add Razorverge Thicket. If you pull out some of your sorceries, Thalia is a must. Mirran Crusader is a great SB card against any sort of green or black deck. Angelic Destiny is expensive money-wise but is really nice.

Whatever you do, don't add Cather's Crusade. It is too expensive mana wise for an aggro deck.

Especially with no mana acceleration. I believe the only things above 4 mana you should be casting is Sigarda, Thragtusk, and Silverheart.

If only I had the money for that! But you have a good point about the cathars crusade, definitely not something I was ever gonna plan to look out for. So, I think for now I will try to fit in the pilgrim. I think for that I will pull out one land,(keep getting flooded when I playtest with my current build, which is 24 lands) One rampage, the devotion, and I guess a doomsayer. I'll consider doing something along those lines.


I used to own a silverblade, but I traded it away, and those things are going for around 6 dollars a piece. Also, I've been trying to get Thalia, but the one person who owned a playset they were willing to trade was a beginner who didn't understand how most of the cards that would benefit him worked, so that has been a failure. To top it off I used to own 3 restorations, now I own 0.(partly because my dad sold 2 of them to fund FNM) So what I'm trying to say here is that I used to own a lot of major parts to this kind of aggro deck, but traded them away before I got the idea for this deck.

I run a very similar G/W Humans deck. This one looks pretty hot.

Consider Descendant's Path for free creatures. That with Cathars' Crusade is a solid combo.

Check out my deck on my profile? I'd give the link, but I'm on my Nintendo DS browser lol.

Nice deck!! I would prolly add Cloudshitfs into this, only because Thragtusk is such a cool beast!

Thanks guys! I'm thinking once return to ravnica comes out, there will probably be some more token bombs like there was last time, so I may or may not re-design my deck then, and will probably end up taking out the parishes and gathers. But thats only if there are good token cards coming out.

Thragtusk is screaming for a Cloudshift and if you got a Champion of Lambholt out, even better.

seems solid... had any chance to try it out?

anyway... not sure how it would work out, (or if it has been a problem for you) card draw. either that human that lets you draw extra card for 1 mana, or; Descendants' Path... the path lets you more or less draw 2 cards a turn, as long as you draw a creature... othervise it just goes on the bottom of your library and gives you your normal card draw... (yes it sux when ou really need to top draw your oblivion rings or land in order to stay on the game)

and i think it was already surgested; gavony township for counters... :)
