Deck Description

I've always wanted to make a Junk deck. Well once the RTR Block was finished coming out, I really liked the Selesnya and Orzhov symmetry. I had alot of difficulty deciding if I wanted to make it Modern or Standard. I stuck with standard because I wanted to use Creakwood Liege and Massacre Worm. All in all, I think its pretty good for my first Junk Deck.

Additionally, I'd like to thank Kakashi_jm 's The Conclave of the Life Deck & Memnite 's Angelic Wurm Factory for drawing inspiration from.

How to Play

Early game is a little rough, having little creatures to defend with from the get-go. Voice of Resurgence, Selesnya Charm, and Call of the Conclave can help bring early creatures out until you can get Mana Dorks out (Somberwald Sage / Birds of Paradise) to help ramp up to Creakwood Liege or Massacre Wurm to help clear the board. Garruk's Drawing ability and Underworld Connections help alot with drawing power and Elspeth is just plain awesome.

Angelic Accord + Trostani + Parallel Lives combo takes a minute, but is a sweet late game helper in the end. Worldspire Wurm is a bit of a monster pain when played, but is a monster pain to bring out, especially when you don't have Somberwald Sage(s) to help out. But Sage usually flies under the radar cause it can't crank out mana for spells other than creatures. That's what Gilded Lotus is for.

Sideboard: Filled with Populate cards and Ready / Willing is just madness and I have no Idea why it isn't worth more. Intangible Virtue can be swapped in for early token survivability and Vigilance.

Deck discussion for Wormy's Junk

Wow, that is indeed an original deck. Seems very complicated at first sight but then I started to notice the synergies between the cards. Parrallel Lives + Trostani + Angelic Accord seems like a slow combo BUT also seems like an awesome one. I totally agree on the sideboard, it will help you in most of your games. Now I have a question, will you eventually cut cards to 60 or you keeping this at 72?

For Casual Play, I Will Keep It At 72, However, Should I Want To Go To Tournament With It, I'll Drop To 60. Or If I Go Standard With It I Will Drop Also. Standard Version Of This Will Lose A Lot Of The Worm/Wurm Power And Coat Of Arms, But W/G & Junk Is Looking Very Strong With Theros Coming in Oct.

Aside From Deck Size, Any Recommendations?

Well, since you both have Growing Ranks AND Parallel Lives, I would recommend using Armada Wurm. It is a solid 5/5 Trample Wurm that puts a copy of itself on the battlefield. So for 6 mana, you would have 3 5/5's Trample... And you could start populating on it every turn.

Otherwise, I would use Novablast Wurm from Worldwake. It is a sick card if you are in trouble. I could also see Advent Of The Wurm in the deck? Is there a reason that explains you ditched it? :P

I coul also see Wurmcoil Engine?

Unfortunately, I don't know how fast is your deck. My other advice would be to throw in some weenies to keep the pressure on your opponent... But that advice will not really help you. What do you think?
