Deck Description

Budget deck idea for a G/W Zoo deck that pairs the synergy of Champion of Lambholt, Secure the Wastes, and Bramblewood Paragon. Big threats like Mikaeus and Cathars' Crusade make Secure the Wastes even better/riskier for your opponents to tap out against.

DISCLAIMER: I'm working with the cards that I own here, so the deck list is not optimized with the pool. Access to better cards would improve the decklist significantly, and please feel free to comment what you would switch in and out of the Main and Sideboard, if I had the cards.

How to Play

Ideal play order is turn 1 plains for the PoE response, turn 2 Paragon, turn 3 Lambholt. Play out your Viridian Emissary and Ooze early to sustain into a phat Mikaeus or Crusade. Always drop a Secure the Wastes on the opponent's end step, and try to have at least a paragon and champion out beforehand.

Cathars' Crusade has a neat interaction with Secure the Waste, as each warrior token comes into play with a +1/+1 counter on it for each creature that came into play that turn. If I tap 6 to drop five warriors on your turn with a crusade out, I get five 6/6 warrior tokens at the end of your turn. If I drop a paragon on my next turn, that's five 7/7's with trample.

Just use the Ooze and Inspiring Call to sustain yourself to that point.
