The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

for a deck challenge to win on turn 2. There are many variations of this combo, and any creature with mana cost 0 works equally as well. The rest of your hand should be full of them. There should be very few other cards in this deck besides them. Start off by dropping your land. (you can substitute a Forest for the City of Brass and a Land Grantto help you get it out.). Tap your land for green mana and cast Glimpse of Nature. Play your creature that costs 0 and draw a card. since the deck is 90 percent creatures that cost 0, you should keep drawing and playing them until you draw into a Grapeshot. Once you have played 20 creatures (make sure you draw them!) Remove your Simian Spirit Guide from the game and use your Lotus Petal to Cast Grapeshot for Lethal Damage. (you don’t necessarily need Simian Spirit Guide or Lotus Petal in your opening hand, you can draw into them, just make sure you do not run out of free creatures to cast!)

Deck discussion for Turn 1 grapeshot win!

whats up matt. the theory of this deck is sound but unfortunately i dont think it will do that well in practice. for grapeshot to be a 1 hit kill u will realistically need 21 creatures (including the spirit guide for mana) and your other sources of mana will stop the drawing process all together. ive run the sample hand function 20 times and the combo has only gone off 2ce. getting glimpse of nature is the only chance this deck has and with no other way to get it the deck becomes unreliable

try wooded foothills it reduce the number of forest or mountain in your deck (so the deck should contains, only 1 forest, 1 mountain and 2 wooded foothills). but just like dknight27 said you need glimpse of nature in your 1st hand to actually pull this of..very impressed with the combo though never thought of it before...

I played against a guy last night who played a deck very similar to this, save he used Tendrils of Agony instead. Might want to look into it cause he took 2nd or 3rd against some stiff competition, but he pissed many of a people of by bombing then before they could even draw :D

Also try Elvish Spirit Guide to get your glimpse out faster to, same thing as Simian but produces green mana instead of red!

thanks for the suggestion SBC, very useful indeed. I need to re look over the deck and then make some changes
