Deck Description

The types of players I face are in either 1 on 1 or 2 headed or 3 headed giant or a 1-8 player free for all.

The types of decks that I face are as follows:

Elf decks which at the end pretty much at the end have every single card pretty much out on the field and has field walk/trample/+5/+5 plus as long as this other elf card is on the field none of the elves on the side of the field can be destroyed. Also forgot to mention has 4 fog

Demon decks which just discard your cards, creatures etc. Also likes to play two creatures which cause all non black/non artificate creatures to die (which if im right that means hexproof creatures can't stop that)

and then finally he has this one card that pretty much gets stronger the more opponintents are taken out.

The third deck that I typically face is a sliver deck. This sliver deck pretty much is built for speed and can can get out between 3-8 slivers out in about 3-6 turns. The deck also has 4 Taurean Mauler's which as you know copy sliver abilities. He also has 4 of the sliver that can destory enchantements and artificates.

Further more besides all that I have another player who uses his Elf/Eldralizi deck where by the end of the game he can have 60 life and have his 15/15 take an extra turn and gg go. He also plays with a bunch of legacy cards and has double and triple his mana pool. Further more he has this one card that if an oppointent has 3 or more creatures on the field he can bring out 2 creatures that have a mana cost of 6 or more and place those onto the field... and he also has 4 fog

Then after that theres a werewolf deck which pretty much casues you to attack your own creatures. and has moonmist x4


Finally theres 3 other decks that each have a lot of tokens, tokens, spawn about 30 tokens late game and another one that has a lot of gain life/attack for every time a creature enters the battlefield.

Finally after that theres another artificate deck but I don't want to talk about it as its not my main concern.


Long story short this is what I typiclly face on a daily basis and the more I think about it the more I realize its impossible to beat most of these decks with what I have unless they somehow don't draw any cards at all which they always seem to do. So after reading all this my problem is does what I have not workable at all. Ideally I would love to be able to beat that elf deck but it just does not work with anything that I have. I do have some more cards then what is shown here but its kind of hard facing all these decks now a days

Deck discussion for Deck needs fixing to counter other decks

Hmm, I would change the mana ramping spells for creatures that do the same thing (there's loads) maybe get some bigger undying creatures like vorapede, and a way to push for the win like overwhelming stampede or at least overrun. You're not really running an infect deck so I reckon these are better than triumph of the hordes. Do you need anti artifact? Try glissa, and other cards from that set. Finally, garruk!

Well I personally really like the original garruk, you should defo try to get it back or buy another one. Or you could try that new one but I don't know if I'm down with that whole innistrad flippy thing, what do you think?

I was actually thinking about Garruk, Primal Hunter since it seems to be better then the old one

I would say it was better, BUT, it is more expensive to buy PLUS if you do get one it pushes your mana curve up. If you do get one ( and you only really need one), maybe you should forget about overwhelming stampedes cause you got overrun on tap right there with the big man. I think there's a card called rofellos which does the same thing as well. Just don't fall into the trap with green where all your best shit costs 5+ mana and you gotta waste all your early game mana ramping, by which time your on the back foot in terms of life. Don't be afraid to chuck a few weenies in there, why do you think you get screwed over by elves bro.

Ezuri, not rofellos. And it's only for elves, sucky. I was thinking it was more like good old kamahl, fist of kroso. Stick to garruk and ditch the stampedes. Don't want the deck too top heavy.

true just remembered while back one of those decks had a card which caused all my forests to turn into swamps while I was using overwhelming stampede and of course at the time the dungs had the highest power so it made my dungs 0/0's which led to them dieing intently

also in terms of what another place says is to have the following:

4xrampant growth
4xllanowar elves
4x garruk's companion
4x young wolf
4xstranglegeist
4x dungrove elder
1x green sun's zenith
1x viridian emmisary
x1 solemn simacrum
x1 acidic slime

and thats it so far over there

I'm sure stampede would just switch to the next biggest creature instead but i dunno, like I said, sell em to pay for the garruk. Nature's lore is better than rampant growth in a mono green. Garruk's companion is ok but doesn't really have a theme. I think you just need a theme, maybe just to get shit loads of forests out?

All you need to add is vigor. That should take care of most your problems.
