I am thinking about making a deck based around 2 combos. It is going to be green and black.

First main combo:
Mishra's Groundbreaker - turns (an opponents) land into a 3/3 artifact creature
Splinter - remove target artifact from the game. Search its controllers hand library and graveyard for all cards with the same name - remove those.
Eradicate - same thing but for creature.

So I turn opponents land into an artifact creature with the groundbreaker, and then splinter/eradicate it. The Splinter and Eradicate are also useful on their own - adding nice utility to the deck

Second main combo:
Vigor - a 6/6 trample for 6 with Trample If damage would be dealt to a creature you control other than Vigor, prevent that damage. Put a +1/+1 counter on that creature for each 1 damage prevented this way.

Pestilence - pay 1 black, do 1 point of damage to each creature and player.

This will make my other creatures bigger, by means of a +1/+1 counter.

Those creatures are going to be lots of stuff from morning tide, like:

Oona's blackguard - Flying: Each other Rogue creature you control comes into play with an additional +1/+1 counter on it.Whenever a creature you control with a +1/+1 counter on it deals combat damage to a player, that player discards a card.

Bramblewood Paragon - Each other Warrior creature you control comes into play with an additional +1/+1 counter on it.Each creature you control with a +1/+1 counter on it has trample.

Fertilid - comes into play with two +1/+1 counters on it. 1G, Remove a +1/+1 counter from Fertilid: Target player searches his or her library for a basic land card and puts it into play tapped.

Walking Archive - comes into play with a +1/+1 counter on it. At the beginning of each player's upkeep, that player draws a card for each +1/+1 counter on Walking Archive.

What do you think? What other cards should I put in there? Probably a stream of life or two to gain life from the pestilence - maybe a putrefy or two, to get rid of other things, maybe a naturalize or two also? (but with eradicate and splinter, maybe not necessary - just need things to get rid of enchantments.

I would love some feed back on this deck. I was thinking about caltrops, so my creatures get bigger whenever I attack - but I dont know if there are better things to put in.

Thanks!

After I posted this, I was thinking 2 cards that would be good to add are triskelion, and mephidros vampire.

With Vigor and the vampire - they get counters when they would take damage, and also get counters for when they do damage (to creatures).

With the vampire and triskelion, it is a "kill every creature" combo... take a counter off - do a point to a creature, put a counter on. Repeat and rinse.

Any other ideas? Maybe a pernicious deed, since a lot of the key cards are high mana cost - I can blow up the enchantment for like 4 or 5, and wipe the board except for my big baddies. Of course I dont own any of those - so I'll have to see.

The Idea is really good. But you would have to play test to see if you can stabilze the game and dont die

I actually am thinking about throwing in 2 stream of lifes...
1 urza's armor - to protect me from the pestilence....
and maybe one Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth... I dont have any - but if you got one for trade, I might hit ya up for that. I already got my Vigors tho.... Hey, I do need a putrefy tho. I did need 2, but got 1 last night)

Also looking for a playset of tainted wood for the deck - to provide better access to the colors of mana Iwill need, at 1/10th the price of overgrown tombs. (I was never one for taking the 2 damage anyways)

Well about having the Uborg I do have one I could trade but They are pretty hard to get. How much do they even go for?

Post be a trade on the Trade section and we can see if we can work something out...

Check what things you have from the sets I am missing and ill trade you something for the Uborg

Yo Yaco,

I got a few of the red rares you were looking for - take a few mins to check out my binder every time you start a new set, and I am sure you will find things you are looking for, as most of the stuff I have is older.

I am also really looking for "Tainted wood" - its a non basic land from the Torment set. (tap to produce 1 colorless. It will produce a black or green mana if you control a swamp) goes great with the urborg land.

I will be at tates on Sat - stop by and see me for trades. I gotta leave around 6:30 tho, because my GF has a belly dancing show she is in, and she'll bitch at me if I dont show up

Rennie

Ill try to stop by.. I am makeing a list of things I need to finish Mask and Saga.. I think with that I will end for now with the sets..

I will keep going to get the rest in couple of months when both my companies are more stable
