Deck Description

Although this deck seems brain-dead simple (and it almost is), there are some things you have to keep in mind that make this a little more of a clever finesse. Use the pump spells on good tempo. For example you can throw off your opponent by attacking with a llanowar elves, using eyeblight\'s ending to kill the blocker, and pumping the elves with a giant growth (maybe even more depending on your mana and you hand) to get through for 4 damage and kill an opponents creature too. Suggestions welcome

Deck discussion for Elvish Steroids

Before somebody comments about this, I know I should maybe have 4 garruk's and 2 overrun's. However, garruk is just way two expensive (in terms of actual money, not mana). Also, Garruk can be countered when it is played, or be attacked next turn and die (let's face it, somebody sees a Garruk on the board and they do anything to kill it). Overrun, on the other hand, can only be countered when playing, if it resolves there, there are no if ands or buts.

(Cont.) Although Garruk being able to untap two land when coming into play is probably really helpful for this deck. Also, the sideboard is designed to shut down faeries (who else), or even a possibly a demigod deck, which I saw recently and was amazed by. The terrors are there to replace eyeblight's ending in game two if there are no black or artifacts cards in my opponent's deck.

I gotta say... I like it. Its fast, it makes things big cheap and I TOTALLY get what you're saying about Garruk. I love him, I have 3 myself but especially when playing multi you get a giant sign on your head that says "kill me and do it fast" its the worst problem, ugg. Oh well, it also doesn't help that he's like what? $22... geez... overrun is like $1. Only thing is that Kamahl, Fist of Krosa is a recurring Overrun but he doesn't really fit that well due to his mana cost so its up to you.
