first deck (please help)

by purpleberry on 17 May 2011

Main Deck (65 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

my first attempt at making a deck, I've played a bit of magic and have some concepts I would like to try and want to make a deck before buying anything.
Suggestions/advice are welcome.
The strategy behind it is to basically rack up loads of saprolings with which you defend yourself, while denying your opponent creatures until you can afford to steal his most powerful ones. Your toughest monsters will come from your opponent.

edit: tweaked with land #, added more proliferate, other small tweaks
edit 2:switched out mind control for corrupted conscience and brittle effigy, as well as cutting negate, levitate, and bonds of quicksilver; as the comments suggested (thanks for the help :)
edit 3: tweaked mana yet again, added doubling season
edit 4: reduced sporesower thallid amount, sporoloth ancient amount, and viral drake amount, added rhys the redeemed, thelonite hermit, and thelon of havenwood

Deck discussion for first deck (please help)

I think that's a pretty good start. I actually made one just like that for fun you should take a look. I think you should prolly replace the counters with more proliferate cards.

Not a bad start and welcome to the game.

Never really thought much about making a fungus/proliferate deck but I have a few suggestions for you.

1st off you need to work on your mana curve a little bit. With so many 4 and 5 mana drops this deck will be kinda slow.
2nd you MUST get your decks down to 60 cards, I know its really hard to do sometimes but it will be worth it. 25 non creature spells is too much so you need to trim that down.
Without a doubt replace Mind control with Corrupted Conscience it is much better and works well with proliferate and infect. Due to its cost I would run no more than 2.

I personally don't think Bonds of Quicksilver is a very good card. I would cut it completely or run Brittle Effigy instead. You may be better off running just 4 Brittle Effigy instead of Corrupted Conscience or Bonds of Quicksilver.

I would take out Negate just to get your card count down.

Good luck with your future decks!

I like Beastmaster Ascension in here I think you should cut 4x Bonds of Quicksilver
4x Mind Control and Negate and put in one more Beastmaster to make a 60 card deck.

I would consider running 2 Brittle Effigy instead of the 2 Levitation also.

For additional Proliferate effects switch Mana Leak for Fuel for the Cause. 2BB: "Counter target spell, then proliferate".

Add Thrummingbird for a cheap proliferation flier, Psychotrope Thallid is Cheap at 2G and gives u a draw option. I'd drop one Hermit for a Sporesower Thallid, and drop Steady Progress for Thrummingbird. Since u have Doubling Season, Rhys becomes redundant, i'd drop him for another cheap Fungus or a mana production card
