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

Week ago a friend of mine introduced me into the world of Magic: The Gathering. After numerous purchases and time consuming work we put together this deck. Any comments?

Hawt damn! I wish my first decks were this fun :-) It's a little chaotic, but that doesn't have to be a bad thing. All the creatures in there add to the deck, and the other spells as well.

I'm just doubtful about Enlarge. I'm more a fan of Overwhelming Stampede myself. Same CMC, and with the number of creatures you'll have in play at turn 5 and their power and toughness (not to mention you can make one target creature even tougher with Bioshift before you cast Stampede, so the effect is even larger), you'll have one massive trample-force instead of 1 creature. That usually does the trick :p

how many cards are currently in your collection will largely define what you can build obviously that being said, I personally like your color choice as i tend to play simic. switching to standard should be easy to do and would most likely place you in the best possible category of game play as bigger playsets are typically harder to attain (cuz they aint on the shelf at the local store) and tend to be slightly more expensive in my opinion. I would like to see a few more scry lands there if possible, and maybe another guildmage and fathom mage as well. removing/replaceing the non-standard (as you have already pointed out) would be my first move and then move towards possible heavy hitters or some of the more costly cards to add UMPH to the deck a few will do the trick expecially when playing with other starter builds. stay connected and keep building decks because no one deck beat everything ever and someone will always hold the bane of (your deck here) existence. its not like a FFA in SC2 but its similar idea, "I came, I saw, I died horribly and repeatedly." keep your fellow players on their toes with deck changes and switching game strategies (e.g. playing aggro and in same color scheme switch to control type build). this will make you better which increases your friendly opponents skill thus increasing yours even more etc. etc.
Good Luck and remeber to have fun!
