Deck Description

Centered around Rite of Passage, this deck deals broad 1 black damage at a time to creatures and players, triggering a pump-up of +1/+1 to your creatures each time. Small critters rapidly grow enormous.

How to Play

Get out Rite of Passage ASAP. Put out creatures, but don't block with them if it will kill them.

Deal 1 damage to all creatures and players using Pestilence, Thashing Wumpus, Noxious Field or Plague Spitter (which does it for free). With Rite of Passage in play, your creatures take the damage, then get a +1/+1 counter. Since none of your creatures have a toughness of less than 2, repeat this process until all your opponents defenders are wiped out, then attack with all your buff (but temporarily wounded) creatures.

Caltrops: Declare your attack, and your creatures will get a +1/+1 counter before blockers are declared.

Vhati: Choose your opponent's toughest creature. Use Vhati to make its toughness=1. Then do 1 damage to kill it.

Most ridiculous combo: the Phytohydra makes a copy of itself every time it takes a damage. With your ability to deal black damage on demand, you will rapidly have a massive army of strong, tough defenders.

Most obnoxious combo: Use Nature's Revolt to make all lands into 2/2 creatures. Deal 2 black damage to everything and wipe out your opponent's lands. (Leyline of Vitality or Spidersilk Armor will protect your lands if you don't have Rite of Passage out yet. Just wait until next turn to attack with them.)
