Deck Description

...Rode the 600.

==================================

Isn't it funny how a deck can evolve over time?
What started as a mono-green practice deck for newbies evolved into a blue/green big creatures deck, then into a five-color defender-themed deck.
That defender-themed deck then narrowed down into a Bant-colored Door to Nothingness deck named Walls to Nothingness.
Walls to Nothingness has now evolved into this.
I dropped the blue in favor of black, since black is much better at disposing of threats.
Plus, I get access to the all-powerful Doran, the Siege Tower.

==================================

This is my official Tribal deck for my local Modern Tribal tournament.
Rules are as follows:
-Modern Banlist
-No sideboard
-At least 1/3 of the deck must share a creature type
-Only 8 of the cards in this deck may be Changelings

**LOOKING FOR ADVICE. EVERY SUGGESTION WILL BE CONSIDERED**

Plans: Replace basic lands with the shock lands in sideboard.

==================================

The key mechanic behind this deck: Defender.
These guys don't attack. Unless Wakestone Gargoyle is on the field.
The idea of this deck is to block *everything* and heal from what you cannot block.
Overgrown Battlement and Perimeter Captain trigger off Defenders. Doran loves things with high toughness. Wakestone Gargoyle turns all your walls into makeshift beaters.
The win conditions?
Assault Formation
Wall of Blood + Wakestone Gargoyle
Colossus of Akros

==================================

Why each card is in here:
Colossus of Akros
-Win condition. Big blocker. Gain 10 or 20 life from it per turn with Wall of Reverence.
-Did I mention he doesn't actually lose defender -- He just ignores it?
-Combos with Wakestone Gargoyle or Assault Formation. You don't HAVE to monstrous him to attack with him as a 10/10.

Wall of Spears
-First Strike. Very good against Deathtouch, and also immune to some removal. (GftT)

Angelic Wall
-Flying blocker.
-Turns into a 4/4 flier for 2.

Overgrown Battlement
-Provides mana for colorless expenses. Pretty much required for monstrousing the Colossi.

Perimeter Captain
-Attack deterrent. Also a potential 4/4 for 1.

Sylvan Caryatid
-Mana ramp
-Potential 3/3 hexproof for 2.

Wakestone Gargoyle
-Activator.
-Is a 3/4 flier.

Wall of Blood
-The combo with multiple Wall of Reverences is unreal. On its own, though, it's a powerful blocker or a terrifying attacker.

Wall of Bone
-Regenerates. 'nuff said.

Wall of Omens
-Ever important draw.

Wall of Reverence
-Probably one of the scariest cards in the deck. It's a potential 6/6 in the air and heals you for a minimum of 1 life every turn. It's a game winner with Colossus of Akros on the defense.

==

Asceticism
-Overgrown allows you to regenerate 1/2 of your walls.
-Hexproof is a huge plus.

Assault Formation
-Doran and Wakestone in one. Too good to not use.

Stave Off
-1-mana "Counter target colored spell that targets a permanent", or "Target colored creature deals no combat damage this turn".
-I find this card absolutely invaluable. Not only can it save my creatures, but it annihilates enemy combos.

Death Frenzy
-Board wipe that your side of the field survives.

==

Gavony Township
-Many decks ramp up by playing universal enchantments. This deck uses Gavony.

How to Play

Drop lands. Drop weak walls. Assault Formation. Weak walls are no longer weak.
