Zoo with Lime

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (20 cards)

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

Legacy Zoo with a twist of Natural Order zest.

Natural Order can fetch not only Progenitus for the beatdown win, but also Terastodon (in case the opponent has a permanent in play like Ensnaring Bridge that needs clearing) or Empyrial Archangel (in case you're on defense and need breathing/recovery room).

I don't know if Knights of the Reliquary will be able to fetch Wasteland or Karakas often enough to make it worth tossing those singleton lands in there: this needs to be tested more. I feel like Knights is an underused fetch card when so many amazing problem-solving lands exist nowadays. Also, it would be awesome to use Knight to fetch a Vesuva and wipe someone else's precious legendary land. It's almost enough to make me want access to Crop Rotation.

It's funny, I feel like I want Oust, Journey to Nowhere, or Oblivion Ring over Lightning Bolt. This deck metes out the damage by way of Natural Order, so bombing someone for 3 isn't as crucial, and Bolt is a dead card versus Reanimator and Land. Journey is just as effective as Bolt against Merfolk creatures, if not moreso, and Oblivion Ring could also wipe a Jitte or pesky Aether Vial.

...Ignore the sideboard.
