Deck Description

This was inspired by a conversation in another deck where we were indulging ourselves in nostalgia about the old times. Well, for everybody, "old times" means something different and since I started playing Magic in late 1994, this means the Revised (3rd Edition) era. So I decided to post one of the decks I played back then. It's from the card base I had at that time, so mostly Revised and Fallen Empires with some Ice Age, Legends and Dark cards thrown in.

You are facing the Compost Heap, a mix of Thrulls and Thallids that focuses on token generation (something that just emerged and wasn't easy back then) and to make good use of those tokens.

How to Play

Grow your own compost heap and pull a crop of thrulls'n'shrooms via Thallid, Thallid Devourer, Elvish Farmer, Night Soil, Sengir Autocrat and Breeding Pit. Don't play the Breeding Pit too early because the upkeep will hamper your devolpment.

Make good use of those tokens by feeding them to Lord of the Pit, Ebon Praetor, Fallen Angel and Elvish Farmer or send them on a atrifact destruction mission through the Gate to Phyrexia or make a delivery to your opponent via Skull Catapult (he might be hungry, too). Or, sacrifice one to Thelonite Druid and overrun your opponent. If you try that and something goes wrong, remember that your animated lands still count as Forests and can still be sacrificed to Dark Heart of the Wood.

Arboria buys you time to grow your compost heap in peace. If your opponent stops casting spells you can whittle on his life with Skull Catapult and keep on growing your army.

Get any key creature back into play via Soul Exchange.

Elvish Farmer, Dark Heart of Wood and Soul Net can give you serious amount of life. So, if everything else fails, you can still win the game with a final, big Hurricane.

If you had the decency to comment or make some suggestions to this deck, I would have considered checking your deck. But this way I voted you down.

Ok so I don't see any thrulls other than breeding pit. Also there is no enchant hate or draw which I would consider for most decks. Please tell me the restriction of cards you want so i can recommend specific ones.

Actually I posted this specific deck just for the lols of Nostalgia. If you want to help, please check out one of my other decks, especially "Down with the Sickness", "Continous Meditation", "Can't touch this" and "Phantom Menace". The description tells you what I need.

Talk about vintage! hence the nostalgia i guess xp In order to get the most out of Soul Exchange I would add a Thrull or two. Other than that, I'm not familiar enough with these cards to know whether its good or not xp looks classy tho :p

Utopia Mycon is almost the same as Thallid, but (in my opinion) better... the only problem is... it's not a thallid so it doesn't really fit the idea od this deck. :(
