Deck Description

First in the series of cheap-to-build, themed decks that are suited for fun casual play. Light on removal, these decks focus on doing cool stuff with epic creatures and awesome spells. Suitable for beginners. Don't play versus competetive, serious decks.

If you like what you see, let me know in the comments. Thanks! :D

How to Play

The theme of this deck is, as you may have guessed already, fire and ice (with a lot more emphasis on the ice part). Most permanents are snow and thus work well together. The creatures are quite cheap, but you will by no means run out of things to do with mana- most creatures have costly, but powerful activated abilities for you to dump your mana on.

When playing this deck, you will often find yourself with a lot of options- at least in terms of what you will use your mana on. Tap something with Rimewind Taskmage, or save that mana and give your Thermopod haste? Or just use Scrying sheet to possibly draw your Rimescale Dragon that will quickly finish the game for you?

There are many synergies within this deck other than just snow permanents with more snow permanents- for example, if you're getting overrun by a few pesky fliers, you can bring them down with your Adarkar Windform and finish them with Martyr of Ashes. Or, better yet, freeze them with Frozen Solid and finish off with Frostwielder to make sure they won't be coming back. Utilize Balduvian Frostwaker and your numerous untapping spells to get your revenge!

Deck discussion for Fire & ice (starter)

I love Rimescale Dragon so you had me interested as soon as I saw him. This is a really cool idea, get new people into older cards that may not have the pure power of the newer ones but so much more flavor. I think the description of more ice than fire is more than accurate because you don't have fire in it. As is, maybe call it Frost Bite or something. Or maybe think about adding in something like mages that take the ice to make steam or control the elements. Also i think Frost Breath is absolutely perfect for this deck.
