Primal Surge - Advice Please

by Archenemy-616 on 01 May 2012

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (15 cards)

Enchantments (2)


Land (6)

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

Hopefully a competitive primal surge deck: decent early game ramp and some larger creatures for holding off the opponent (all of which also have useful effects when they enter the battlefield). Primal surge is a sure-fire win when used due to Warstorm Surge and Essence of the Wild, meanwhile pesky platinum angels etc will be removed with oblivion ring after surge goes off. Sideboard is a desperate response to super-heavy control decks, as you may need to re-cast primal surge (the djinn is fun too if you're feeling very lucky).

Still a 'work in progress' so any advice or comments are welcome :)

Not a bad idea for standard!! :) ... There is no red in it, but it showes, that there is, so I think U should correct it... The Rune-Scarred was a good idea, so you don't have to put more than 1 "Primal Surge" in the deck... I think simulacrum & similar cards, that searches land when they enter should be used with stuff like "Cloudshift"... It's another way to gain that much mana...

Primal surge is so broken :P From what I see, this deck is a bit loose. First of all I don't think Garruk belongs in here. What this deck needs is an Urabrask so that all your creatures have haste. I'd switch Garruk for an Urabrask. I also have a primal surge deck and I would love you to check it out. I really think it would give you some good ideas :-)

I agree about Urubrask. That would make this deck soo broken. All your creatures come into play with haste! Swithout out garruk, he's not neccessary imo. +1

If you have time, please check out my new deck called: Netherworld's Gate (standard)

I dont think urubask is necessary, because of warstorm surge, if they honestly live through that, maybe. so maybe put him in for back up, definitely shut out garruk
