Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (3 cards)

Instants (3)

Deck Description

Defense of the Ancients.

Just a strange flavor of deck I wanted to try out. I think a look over the deck list is pretty self explanatory.

Deck discussion for DOTA

you have more red mana symbols than you have green, so i would put in 10/6.
harrow is better than cultivate i think, and maybe even put explore.

PS
with a deck name like dota, you would think it has something to do with the game dota:

I was playing off the name of the game, not the game itself. The idea here being, its defenders, and 3 big Eldrazi. Defense and Ancients. Granted, there are only three of them, so its not like they're too significant a part of the deck.. but they're there.

With the G land fetch, I haven't had a problem running under the R mana curve (in other decks). If I need more R, I can always just fetch more :) And the land fetch is partly responsible for dropping a late-game Eldrazi finisher, or pumped up Comet Storm (which I just replaced with Banefire, Comet Storm moved to side-board in case being standard legal is ever important)

If you check this again.. I'm running Cultivate out of preference. I know Harrow is better for straight land-drop, but I decided to run Cultivate instead, so I have the option to hold back a land for Khalni Heart Expedition, in case one isn't in play already. Do you think this is viable? Or do you still think I should run Harrow instead?

Man you already have three more... Just saying I commented on Elves old vs New for you to see my mayael deck...
Hey and if you listen to death metal, I say I got to admire you even more...
Also it's shite this doesn't alert on which of your decks people have commented on, you're pretty much screwed...
I asked at machine-gun headcrab, stealer of souls, if I could play that at magic workstation w/ friends

Yeah.. I make too many decks :P I've said in other posts, I get an idea and I usually just throw something quick together to preserve it, in case I want to come back to it later and flesh it out. Though, I am about to make an alt account to use for decks I actually have, or am genuinely planning on building. The latter is the hard part.. I always genuinely plan on building the deck, but then another idea comes along :P I'm just fickle like that.

Do you mean, if you would mind if you used the idea? Not at all :D

Maybe +1 Lust for war ?

Lust for War was the inspiration to this deck. Force to attack, hurt you for doing it, and I have defenders to block. It's also a great spell to handle tap-utility creatures, like Llanowar Elves, or Blinding Mage. In the end though, I dropped the fourth Lust for a third Pathrazer. Don't know if that's how it will stay though, but for the time being I wanted three so I could reliably draw one in a game.

Hey forget about my mayael deck I think the combo I was trying to make can't be done...
But maybe my modular (or not so much) would be worth a watch...
Thanks for letting me use your deck, Stay Metal!!!

Remake the Mayael deck and I'll take a look at it. The modular deck as well (modular is one of my favorite mechanics ever!)

Regarding my last post, what do you think? I'd like to run a full set of Lust for War, and I also have 2x It That Betrays that I'd like to run. Where to I make room? Or keep as is?

On second thought.. I decided to drop Wall of Vines and redistribute. I think it works out rather nicely now, though I am lacking any decent first turn drops besides Lightning Bolt.. and I hate that.. but I think it'll work.

For first drops you have wall of hope (great) wall of steel and cinder wall (not so great)
