Deck Description

Theme deck, just wanted rhino and elephant warriors together, because I thought they paired well thematically. The goal of the deck is getting down strong unblockable creatures quickly. 23 of the cards in the deck are 3 mana to cast, 6 are 1 mana and 5 are 4 mana. So the mana curve is pretty quick, and there's ramp with cultivate to make it even quicker. Get down a 3 mana creature, make it unblockable and buff it with the loxodon warhammers and just go to work. Simple strategy. Just speed and brute force.

Deck discussion for Unblockable LoxRhox

i find myself wondering if it's worth adding the blue to get absolutely nothing except making your creatures unblockable. well, that and war monk. also, it's upwards of the curve you have here but the original Rhox is awesome if you're trying to get unblocked damage, with regenerate as an upside.

do you really need anything other than unblockable though? an unblockable loxodon smiter with a warhammer on it would hurt pretty good. 3 turns and you lose. it's easily counterable of course. blue control decks, doom blades, path to exiles, mind controls, domestication, even just things that tap it. but that's how theme decks are. you tend to sacrifice lots of power and competitiveness to stay within the theme. i think it's got good potential for what it is.

if i take out the blue i could still achieve the same basic effect with cards like armored ascension, nimbus wings...stuff like that. makes the mana curve higher but it'd probably be alright.


edit: i just don't want to lose the rhox war monk. low cost, decent power/toughness and lifelink...but if i keep it i'd have to splash blue and i feel like there's not enough card draw or mana ramp to find the few islands. if i kept say, the two aqueous forms and dropped the 2 artful dodge and distortion strike, which 4 blue cards would you include in their place?
