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

This is a deck that I spent about a week fiddling with after some careful thinking, I made the deck for a school tournament in which I took 3 place overall. So I figured I would share it and see how others thought about it. I'm open to any suggestions.

(Also: I don't count Judge's Familiar as an Island type, only because he can be payed with a Plains, And I know it's not 60 cards, But I couldn't find a way to make it 60 and still have it play effectively.)

Deck discussion for Populate for the Win.

Looks pretty solid, though not as focused as it should be. Unless you can constatly gain large amounts of life I would say drop the minor life gain for more damage prevention. Rootborn and Deliverance are pefect for this so I would up those to 4 each. Plus they populate!

Chromatic Lantern, Concordia Pegasus, Knightly Valor, Rest in Peace, Giant Growth, and Common Bond really don't acomplish much here either. If you're going to focus on pumps with Ethereal Armor you should have Rancor in there as well. JUST a Rancor and Armor on the same creature will gain you +4/+2 trample, first strike. Imagine then if you've got your Sphere of Safety and Growing Ranks out? Your Centar token is now a 9/7 trampling first striker!

Up Call of the Conclave to 4 and add some Selesnya Charms as those will help you always keep a token out for populate.
