Deck Description

Noosegraf Mob could be considered a sort of a signature card of a friend of mine. This deck celebrates all the creatures which surely will follow the principle 'divided we fall'!

This is a Budget Deck (BD for short). It is meant primarily for casual play, and its estimated mid value is aimed to land between 10 and 20 US dollars at most. Take this detail into consideration when browsing the deck!

I mostly use MTG Vault for my own private projects nowadays, but feel free to comment or request a deck of your choice. I've loved the Vault so far, and I like that they are still improving on it, as well as I am improving on my English language skills.

So, if you like what you see, consider checking out some of my other budget-y work from the link below.

How to Play

Let's get cracking - creatures into smaller parts, I mean!

This deck is all about utilizing +1/+1 counters as buff ups as well as in more versatile ways. Fertilid can crap out extra land cards, Festercreep can wipe out smaller creatures, Noosegraf Mob can keep squeezing out more and more zombies, Oathsworn Knight can keep on tanking hits while hitting and Pentavus can fill the skies with handy fliers.

Having trouble with the deck? Consider modifying it a bit using the cards provided in the sideboard. If you still are not happy with the results, don't be afraid to ask!


Statistics: (out of 5)

- Card Synergy: <><><><> (Do the cards of the deck help out each other well?)
- Card Value: <><> (How much card advantage can you get out of your cards?)
- Level of Complexity: <><> (How hard this deck is to properly play?)

Pros:
+ Can utilize +1/+1 counters with new and interesting ways.
+ Can go high or wide, depending on the situation.

Cons:
- Often tends to put all its eggs into singular baskets: watch out for single-target removal!

Heh...

Transfer fate.

I don't know how you keep on forgetting it ;)

Bloom hulk is also a pretty neat 4/4 beater for 4 mana, that proliferate.

I added Bioshift - that should do mostly the thing that the Transfer does.

Bioshift only works within the same owner.
Don't you want to steal counters from decks like affinity :)

Yea, but then again Bioshift costing only 1 mana allows you to easier utilize it defensively: when a creature you control is about to die, you cans store some of its counters on another creature you control.

Part of that problem might be because most of your "counterbearers are so high cost.
Noosegraf mob and pentavus does restrain you.

That is correct as well.

Noosegraf Mob I felt like I HAD to include just because it is kind of a meme between me and a friend of mine. Pentavus is another classic card which I personally like and wanted to fit in.

There's a pretty new creature that let's you choose between a +1/+1 counter or a basic land search, with which you can either ramp or go aggro with pollenbright.

Memes are okay, but think of the memes you could create by doing truly great stuff.

I just took out modern cheerios with my "counterlings & regenerate" THREE TIMES IN A ROW...
If that ain't material enough for a new meme, I don't know what is...

Ambition can lead to some of the funniest memes in the world, just think "funny people fall"
Sometimes they fail in spectacular ways, sometimes they succeed in even more spectacular ways.

You can both be ambitious and play hilarious cards.

Just recently I played grazing kelpie, and a few games later the only card we could find that sawed my ass was trapjaw kelpie. My friends been urging me to go for a kelpie tribal, I can laugh at that.

There's an ever growing list of really odd cards in my project, bearer of memory and vivien's grizzly were cards my friend suggested because of my urso-phobia, and admittedly they've been great. vigorspire wurm, paragon of modernity (hey, you could use that one) snakeform.

By being much more ambitious, the cards actually manages to become much more memorable.

Fun is fun, but seriousness can take fun to a whole new dimension.

Imagine the face of my friend when I beat the cheerios deck for the third time in a row...

I mean I utterly defeat him by playing a faerie or a caustic Caterpillar on turn one, and following up with spellstutter or piracy charm combined with gut shot, stuff like that.

Cheerios is defeated not only by the cards but the playstyle. For example, to avoid getting my regenerators killed I primarily play faeries, and in a pinch I play a caustic Caterpillar in the Hope's that the opponent will take out these first. As a result, my gameplay is really screwing cheerios up.

I think you copied the wrong deck-description (BEDH)
I you're willing to slip more into the cmc3 direction the Pollenbright Druid could be replaced with Evolution Sage. Works especially well with search lands like Evolving Wilds. Else Contagion Clasp could also be worth a look, perhaps instead of Feast on the Fallen

Copy/pasting is currently hit by a few bugs as gary is making some odd moves at the moment.

The hardest thing at the moment is actually deleting your posts.
There are now some very strict rules in play for what can be deleted.
Some of them even changed while I deleted stuff yesterday.

I decided to do a cleaning sweep in preparation of some new tech when I discovered that some of my posts refused to be deleted.

I sort of took that as a challenge because this "new puzzle" was suddenly in my way.

I figure that there might be two reasons why it's been put up.

1: people a tired of the trolls and have started to delete their own pages to deny them that their own prized memories get mangled by those vultures.

2: gary is taking a look at troll decks.

I believe it's a bit of both, because those of my decks that seemed to be most "troll like" in nature were really really hard to delete.

I sort of got caught up in the spirit of cleaning up my stuff and solving a new puzzle, so I went really into it as a challenge.

Now I got 0 decks, but I know a lot more ;)

Whoops, you are correct about the description!
Sorry, it seems I've been sloppy recently! Fixed it!

None of the card suggestions are bad ideas, but I do think that the Druid is the "main early drop" of this deck which makes it almost irreplaceable. Feast on the Fallen also is a bit of a flavor card here, especially combined with my beloved Noosegraf Mob.

Still, I'll shove some of these into the sideboard.
Thanks Muktol, as always!

If you take a look at the forums, a growing number of are discovering that they can't delete decks.
If those with something to hide panicks, then I suspect there will be a full freeze where decks can't be added, deleted or altered.

[[Karn's Bastion]] could also be an option, tough it will likely be out of budget.
