Deck Description

A model to players to show newer players and seasoned player how to beef up that intro pack you just got.
Intro packs are great. They give you an already built deck with with two booster packs. So the odds of you getting something from those boosters that can help you beef up the deck is twice as good.
And intro decks, alot of the time make very strong decks with a little tweaking.
The sideboard is what the intro deck looked like.

How to Play

I replaced Rumbling Baloth with Polukranos, World Eater. World Eater has more power and toughness while costing the same amount of mana. However even better Polukranos, World Eater has a great control ability. The best way I use it is when facing other green decks. I keep it in my hand and as soon as they play a hydra I pay 4 to cast it and pay one green to make it monstrous this froces that 4/4 hydra to die. The reason I do this is so I don't have to worry about them burning my creature or putting an enchantment on it. I play this card differently when I play black and when I play black and blue or blue.
you want to use the buff and fight cards to buff your creatures up and at the same time forcing the opponent to block. Say on the 2nd turn you casted Phalanx Leader then on the 3rd turn you play Fabled Hero. You don't attack you hold off. The 4th turn you play a buff card on Phalanx Leader then you play a fight card on Phalanx Leader. The creature will be buffed up 3 time, for example, if you played Giant Growth the Phalanx Leader will get the 3/3 but also get a 1/1 counter on it. And because Phalanx Leader was targeted the Fabled Hero gets a1/1 counter on it. Then you cast the fight card and that causes Phalanx Leader to get another counter on it and also Fabled hero gets a counter on it too. Now you have buffed up your creatures and cleared up their side a little. Then attack. From then on they will be in the struggle.

Talk shop:
There was a card or two that I could have put in the place of other cards. One for example is the card Gift of Imortality. Check it out, it can have a place in this deck. However, I didn't think it was the best fit regarding the spirt of the deck.

Oh yeah what's it's name? I'll give it a look. I already have one green one drop that targets two creatures in the deck. But a buff cadd that is a one drop and targets two creatures would be great.

I like it. Only thing I'd suggest is maybe moving the bow of nylea from the sideboard to the mainboard. It could help with the attacking slightly more intimidating for the smaller creatures, give u earlier flying protection or help with the life gain thing you are implementing.
