http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=278176

I'll try to make one.

Wait, I thought all the creatures were supposed to cost 0 to cast? o.O

I like this idea. I am not sure that I would have gone with a set of fireballs personally, but that is more personal choice than anything else. I like the way you use both coat of arms and shared animosity. The only problem I see is that you have but twelve creatures in your deck. Even with the ways to convert them into double their amount of goblins, I am not sure that you will be able to get enough creatures out to make the deck work. (The Goblin Offensive is expensive enough to cast that it is more of a mid-game card. Early game, your defense might be a little weak, but then again, the deck is entirely populated by 0cc creatures).

Well, first off, your deck doesn't quite fit the parameters of my challenge due to the Kabira Vindicators. Apart from that, it looks interesting. A couple of suggestions though:You can't really afford to feed creatures to Eldrazi Monument with this deck. I would recommend cutting it out for another permanent creature boost, perhaps something like Beastmaster Ascension. To make the deck fit the parameters of my challenge, you would also have to cut out the Kabira Vindicators. If you wish to do so, you may want to try replacing it with True Conviction, although True Conviction may prove to be too costly mana-wise to be worth it. There are other multi-creature boosting cards that could be implemented in its' stead, but the only low converted mana cost ones I can think of are temporary boosts, not permanent ones like the True Conviction.

While your deck does look interesting, it unfortunately doesn't conform with the rules of this deck challenge :(.

Yes, I would have liked to put in Kobold Overlord but it wouldn't have fit the challenge. Fireball is there so that you can get rid of all of their creatures at once. Better for swarming.

it may require a little mana base manipulation but maybe replace the vindicators with awakening zone to give a steady sac for the monument and a slew of trash blockers if he gets out more than one

my plan was to get out seven plains and a emeria the sky ruin and then put out eldrazi monument getting the creature back each turn. I probably need to put in some mana ramp to get out seven plains to do that though

I'll think about some other things. like definitely taking out the kabira vindicators, true conviction would be very interesting, it is a very good card.

talk to you on monday.

I made this forever ago. It doesn't exactly fit your guidelines precisely, but I think you'll find it interesting.

I figured why not... and made a deck consisting completely of creatures with CMC = 0.

Surprisingly... it even works.

You are right, it does not fit the guidelines of the challenge. However, you were also right about me finding this interesting (albeit a little mana pricey getting off the ground (arguably)). It might be more effective if you tried using blightsteel instead of darksteel, but the way your deck works, that might not necessarily be the case. Considering the few myr that you have in your deck, you may want to try dropping the lodestone myr for palladium myr, to help get your big guys out before they even become free to cast. Or you could try using contagion clasp or contagion engine as a proliferate tool for use in conjunction with your darksteel reactor.

I guess we can count creatures with X=0 in their cost as 0cc for the purposes of this challenge, so this deck fits the challenge. One thing I have had success with is using a forest fetcher to grab out my Dryad Arbors, as a suggestion to you. You may also want to switch out your braingeyser for blue suns zenith, for only :manau: extra, you get repeated usage.

[QUOTE=sethbodine]As the name suggests, the challenge this time is about 0cc creatures. More precisely, I want to see how you would go about killing off an opponent using a deck thats' only creatures are 0cc. (You actually have to use the 0cc creatures as part of your win strategy). I will post one of mine in a short while.[/QUOTE]

So I registered on the site to reply to your thread, as Im currently looking to build a standard/modern competitive deck in this flavor. In theory it should be able to drop mass 0cmc cards all the time and draw mass cards.

Im replying to yours because I was wondering if you had your decklist ready so I might peruse it, as I have with the other ones posted here.

i have noticed on this challenge that no one is using kobolds. few ornithopter but no kobolds

Here is the original 0cc creature deck OLD SCHOOL STYLE

Simple, yet effective. A couple of suggestions: Try using Ghitu War Cry instead of Firebreathing. It may cost extra to cast, but it lets you pump up any creature, not just a single enchanted creature. This helps to get past blockers more easily. Also, I think the deck would work better if you cut out the Ashnod's weaponry. The -2 to defense would kill off any creature in your deck not enchanted with Giant Strength.

I didnt look at that, i should know better. I dont know alot of the new cards, i have been playing since revised and stopped at weatherlight.
