Standard legal, all commons with blue and green. Keep their creatures tapped with Narcolepsy and Paralyzing Grasp. Counter the big-uns or transfer control auras with Aura Finesse. Each of which weaken the opponent while pumping Aura Gnarlid and making its evasion that much more troublesome. Oh. And Wind Zendikon is awesome! Cost to build: $1. 00 (Okay, that's an exaggeration :P)

its actually a good combo especially for only being commons. I'm going to assume you wanted to keep it cheap? nice way of making cheap control and exploiting aura gnarlid with it.

Glad you like it :) Cost wasn't so much a concern here, just like the challenge of building decks with stipulations. Also like playing against opponents while handicapped by those stipulations.
you ask for my 2 cents (it might be worth much less), but what can I say you get what you pay for Add Snake Umbra if you can figure out a way to fit it in
It was a toss up between Snake Umbra and Canopy Cover. I decided to go with Canopy Cover, not for the evasion but for super-shroud. It does pain me that I'm running U with no card draw, but I felt that aside from Wind Zendikon, if I'm attacking and am not blocked it is because Aura Gnarlid is already rolling.. at which point I pretty much I pretty much have everything I need. Although I might change that here in a minute. Thinking about swapping out Sylvan Ranger for one of the U flier with ETB scry, at which point I'd have another creature with evasion to make Snake Umbra work.
Hey, thanks a lot for some ideas on my aura deck. I usually dont play blue, but my friend can help me get the cards i need. Maybe put some more aura's in it like snake umbra or spider umbra. Thx a lot
Hey, glad you like it! Seems like a no brainer now, but I was quite happy when I realized cards like Narcolepsy and Paralyzing Grasp would also pump Aura Gnarlid, in addition to diminishing my opponent's presence on the battlefield. Kinda don't like relying only on Aura Gnarlid to win, but I was surprised by how well this turned out for being only commons.
I like it dude, I'd like to see how our decks match up :-) Landfall Pump vs Aura Control... That'll be a good time :-) If you're living in So Cal we can probably make that match up happen sometime.
Other side of the world (or country.. PA), sorry man :P I would like to talk a few people around here into starting a small pauper league, but I'm already trying to talk people into EDH, too.. so I don't want to try too much at once until the June release of Commander and everybody has a deck.
