1st stompy deck Need Help

by dannycolledge on 17 February 2011

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

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

Trying to make my 1st stompy deck so any adjustments are welcome.

Ho-ly crap.

You've got entirely too many high cost creatures. Late game your deck can probably handle it but it'll run SO much smoother if you pull out ALL of the Avengers of Zendikar and leave MAYBE 1 Liege of the Tangle.

-4 Avengers
-3 Liege
-3 Explosive Vegetation
-2 Rampant Growth
-2 Genesis Wave
-4 Khalni Garden

+4 Leatherback Baloth
+4 Garruk's Companion
+4 Arbor Elf
+4 Oran-Rief, the Vastwood
+2 Forest

I agree bout the to many liege's so am going to drop them to 2 and add 2 more forests but the avengers, vegetation, rampant growth and genesis wave gets everything out quicker. May remove the khalani gardens for 4 forests though

This is not stompy...
if u need a definition for stompy, here it is:
"Stompy is obviously mono-green. (Even Metal-Stomp is still green)

Stompy also almost never has anything that costs more that 4-5 mana. The exception to this is things that allow you to cheat them in, or VERY RARELY things that are like...6 mana but are very powerful in the deck. Again, this is rare and you need to be positive it's ok. Even then, only 2 of them could be allowed in. There's been some in the past, but the new best one in my opinion is Khalni Hydra.

Stompy usually has lots of crazy pumps. A stompy deck should be able to kill someone with it's "mana elf" if it wants to.

Stompy has some consequential card drawing. What this means is it forces the opponent to decide whether to get hit hard or give you card advantage. Old school stompy used Skull Clamp. Now that card is taken up by Infiltration Lens.

Now, to go back to the perfect mana effieciency thing. This doesn't just mean using every last bit of mana ever turn. It also means getting the most out of that mana. For example, in most cases a 2/2 or 2/3 for 3 is thought of as 1 or "1/2" wasted mana. Or a 1/1 for 2 is another 1 wasted mana." -- Surewhynot.

Thanks for the explanation, I thought stompy was trampling all over your opponent which this deck does very well but after reading your post this deck is definitely not stompy but i do get the most out of my mana so i am a bit confused
