Shorecrasher Mimic is the bad guy here.When you cast a blue AND green spell, he becomes a 5/3 with Trample. I have 22 cards that are both blue/green. So, HE WILL be getting pumped up. I also have flying here. Gaea's Skyfolk has flying. Hydroform make a land become a 3/3 flying creature until end of turn. And Favor of the Overbeing gives all your creatures +2/+2, flying, and vigilance. With everything costing only 2 mana...you will be top decking so very quickly...and have a lot of extra mana every turn...just going to waste, what to do with it? 1) That is where Constant Mists comes into play. Sack a land, and it is a buyback Fog. You can afford to sack a land, trust me, with everything costing 2 mana. Coiling Oracle is going to be providing me extra lands to sack. 2) Both Simic Guildmage and Zameck Guildmage provide an outlet to all of your extra mana lying around. They let you add +1/+1 counters, draw cards, and move around your Favor of the Overbeing.Now...to also prevent top decking...where is my drawing power? Here comes, along with Zameck Guildmage there is Coiling Oracle and Vedalken Heretic. So...you should not be running out of cards. Constant Mists for combat damage prevention.Deglamer for artifact and enchantment hate. Muddle the Mixture rocks in this deck. It lets you search your entire deck for any 2 mana card...with every single card costing 2 mana in this deck...it will get you ANY card in your deck. Simic Charm does a little bit of everything. It can give your creature +3/+3 (play it on Shorecrasher Mimic to make it a 8/6 creature with Trample), or it can give your creatures shroud for protection, or it can rescue a creature if need be.

Take out the dual lands and this is a 15 dollar deck!

Or... add even more to make feeding them to Constant Mists more palatable!Scrylands in particular would be a nice addition.Also, it wouldn't take much effort to turn this into a playable Simic deck with a normal curve. I like it a lot.
Thanks Rocco. :)
is the deck hard to play?
Nope. You mean because of the cards? Or because of them all costing 2 mana? Regardless, no, it is rather easy to play. You just can't play anything until your second turn. Try it out, whitedragon313. It's easy to make a deck with all the cards costing 2 mana.
what i ment was is the deck have a combo or is it more trying to get all of the thing out on the fieldi will give the deck a try thanks
My deck? No...not to many combos. Using Shorecrasher Mimic and other blue/green cards so that he is pumped up.

so... posting this before refreshing after about an hour... if people have a deck that they wanted to post as a "2 mana challenge" deck, where would they do that?
No idea. I'm posting mine here.Theros Block 2-Drops: http://www.mtgvault.com/rocco/decks/block-2drop-challenge/
They can post it here. I will try to keep up with them.
Rocco. Nice stuff with the pump up and the Artisan of Forms.
you should use yavimaya coast (not sure if i spelt that right) for a dual land, its cheap and i find them really effective.
Nice. Adding them. One upped your comment. Thanks for the suggestion.
Look at my mana curve, folks. Exactly 38 of each color. Now that is balance (did not plan it as such, just now noticed it).
the deck looks good, I personally love the mimic cyclehere is the 2 drop deck I made, it's not very budget friendly but I feel like it's pretty stronghttp://www.mtgvault.com/necrohellion/decks/2-mana-mill/
Added to the list. Looks nice. Just got back into Magic about a year ago...and faced, for the first time, a mill deck. At first I was wondering what the hell he was trying to do, making me put cards in my graveyard, but I quickly realized (as my deck got smaller and smaller) what he was doing. It was too late. lol. He beat my butt. Anyways, good job.
just put together a 2 drop I based off of isochron scepter and pack rat it looks funhttp://www.mtgvault.com/vaan104/decks/death-by-2s/
Posted it. Looks fun. Running blue, in the 2 mana drop deck, allows for Muddle the Mixture. Which rocks.
My contribution,http://www.mtgvault.com/dharr16/decks/two-drop-challenge-exalted/
Posted it. Looks nice. I have never played exalted before...but it seems like a good idea to back them up with pump up and shroud. I like how you choose that option.
hi jessie. are spells with x in mana cost legel in your challenge (as long as they cost x+2)? aim to build some gruulish stuff
Yes indeed. I didn't use them (should have myself, Nimbus Swimmer and Biomass Mutation), but sure.
ok, here it is: http://www.mtgvault.com/hann/decks/2-mana-challenge-hydras/
Nice. Mana ramping into x hydra tokens. Cards that provide trample/haste. And he has cards that he can push extra mana into.Check it out.
I'd propose that if you actually wanted to play these decks against each other that you start the game by searching your deck for one basic land and putting it into play, then drawing your starting hand. This means you could start playing cards turn 1.
I'd rather play a scry land 1st turn. There's still enough variation in lands that the 1st turn should remain intact.
I do say this..me and one other guy gets together about once a month to play several hours of Magic, together. Whomever draws first, usually wins about 70 percent of the time. There seems a definite advantage to laying down a land first. With that said..seems like it would be a HUGE advantage in a 2 mana deck, in going first. Aside from Scry (which is a solid idea Rocco) Lands...you might be on to something Zanmor. Some sort of small change to allow both players to start on equal ground. Anyone else got any ideas for a 2 mana deck? They seem to rock, in my opinion.
Perhaps... The one who goes second gets to search for a basic land in addition to his 7+1 cards, but it comes into play tapped.
Sounds like a plan. I would almost want to go 2nd, in that fashion...ensuring you (since I have a 2 color deck) get the 2nd land color.
One weird thing I can see allowing a free search for a basic land might do is allow you to warp your mana base a lot: if I know I'll be able to search for a basic land then I might only need two or three of one type in my deck and I could load up on the other.
Man, I feel bad now. I said that I would post a 2 mana deck fit you, and I haven't done it yet. I really do have a deck to post but it just isn't ready yet. Still have some tinkering to do. Hopefully you will get lots of people posting 2 mana decks though. :)
I think it is about fizzled out. But yes, I would enjoy your 2 mana deck. I am sure of it.
Here it is. See what you think of it.http://www.mtgvault.com/kazzong/decks/two-much-two-handle/
Running lots of draw power/speed. A brutal Kargan Dragonlord, easily pumped up. And a neat little Liquimetal Coating/Naturalize combo. I like it. Posted.

http://www.mtgvault.com/jrod/decks/2-mana-challenge-faerie/highly edited version of an actual deck i used to run. what do you think?
Nice. Expensive and broken cards :) Who doesn't love stuff like BItterblossom and Spellstutter. Posted it.

http://www.mtgvault.com/jessie/decks/blackwhite-2-mana-deck/Another one for you guys. It looks to be brutal. A Liliana's Caress deck running white cards? Believe it or not!
Cancel that. Took out the Caress. But it still looks to be a good deck.Check this one out too, a red/white one.http://www.mtgvault.com/jessie/decks/redwhite-2-mana-deck/
http://www.mtgvault.com/necrohellion/decks/discarding-2drops/necrohellion's 2 drop deck.Mean discard, who likes control? lol. I like to play them, hate to play against them.I think he did a good job, check it out!
great deck. +1 from me. what are your thoughts about vedalken heretic? At 1/1, he will usually die, not deal any damage to the opponent, and hence, not get to draw a card...
Definitely worth consideration.
Not sure how you would feel about Bound/Determined or Simic Growth Chamber but yeah, your 2-drop deck ROCKS
http://www.mtgvault.com/northernwarlord/decks/budget-decks-2mana-izzet/NorthernWarlord's attempt. You know this guy makes solid, well rounded, decks that are very reasonably priced.Check his out. He went bounce/burn/kiln fiend with it. I like it.
Simic deck. :)http://www.mtgvault.com/kazzong/decks/whats-yours-is-mine/Let me know what you think.
I added it, thanks for the contribution. Too bad you couldn't add your sideboard into the deck!
Yeah, but I found a way to make it work.
ok, here is my Izzet deck. :)http://www.mtgvault.com/kazzong/decks/izzet-another-2-mana-deck/
Is that 3 decks for the 2 mana challenge? You kazzong, sir, are the man!
I had 2 of them kind of just sitting there half done for a few days... But finally finished them up. Which is why it took so long to get them posted.
Also have 2 have finished decks. Check it out, see if you can tell where this came from:Lions, Tigers, Bears, Oh My!!!Yep, wizard of oz theme deck! lol. It is in the making. Also...with my vampire deck...it got me to wanting to make a pure "you lose life i gain life" deck. Nothing but spells like that. Vampiric Touch, and the such.
Ooo. Sounds fun. :)
I'm near clueless about MtG, BUT, am giving my best shot at learning so my hubs and I can expand our shared nerd-passtime empire. I've kind of browsed around the site looking for users that could offer practical advice, YOU seem to be a practical advice giver. Wanna mentor me ?
Seriously? Seriously?
Interesting.
Thanks. Got bored doing same old same old decks.Also recently made an entire deck of nothing buy Creature cards. 60 card deck with nothing but 60 creatures. No instants/lands/enchantments/etc JUST creatures.Thinking about doing an entire deck of nothing but lands too.
Finally got off my arse and made a 2 mana deck, probably add more soon enough:http://www.mtgvault.com/runningpigeon/decks/armed-with-nature/
Will post all of them.
And here's another.... woop-de-doo!http://www.mtgvault.com/runningpigeon/decks/weenies-unite/
Thanks! This one also looks solid (as did your first deck). Old school looking stuff.
And yet another, and that'll probably do me for a while now.http://www.mtgvault.com/runningpigeon/decks/charged/
Charge counters hurt my head. I think i am not smart enough to understand them. :)I liked them all. Thanks for your effort!!!As said, I posted them all.
Okay everyone. This deck is official about to be off the Hot Deck list. Wanted to thank everyone who looked and liked it. I believe it was my first hot deck. Thanks again.
Well, maybe not, I believe I have had a Goblin deck, at least, be on the Hot Deck list...but anyone can make a Goblin deck. lol.
regardless of if it is on the hotlist or not. I am pretty sure that at least a few people, myself included, will keep an eye on this deck. :)

For sure, for sure. And likewise, If a year from now, local people are playing 1 cmc deck tournaments...I will know where it all started!
Lol... thanks. :)
I love you, Honey! (shameless spam because Jessie's my husband and I can assert my authoritah all over his junk): go view my first ever, newbie deck, kids!
Hello again,I already mentioned that I proxy-d this deck and played it at my local comic book store. It's a very good deck, and I like it a lot, but please allow me to tell you the weaknesses of it:It's weak against removal (like any creature-based deck), and if favor of the overbeing is attached to the shorecrasher mimic, they are getting 2 for 1 (in the sense that they spend 1 removal card to take away 2 of yours - the mimic and the enchantment). The guildmages are dead cards unless you have +1/+1 counters already out there. The heretic, while good-natured, is probably useless because there's no way to make him unblockable to get that extra card draw.That being said, I picked up a few more blue/green cards (since I was at the store anyways). These aren't 2-mana, but I feel they would greatly improve the deck. Horizon Chimera (4-mana, flash, flying, trample, life gain), shielding plax (3-mana, enchantment, card draw, hexproof), trygon predator (3-mana, flying, allows you to remove the deglamers from your deck). Finally, miming slime (3-mana, not blue-green, 2 colorless and 1 green, for an X/X ooze) - play a blue/green spell to get the shorecrasher up to 5 power, then play the miming slime and BAM! You have a 5/5 ooze. Yes, it will require 2 spells and more mana, but bottom-line is that it's a 3-mana 5/5 ooze (7/7 if favor of the overbeing is already on the mimic).I was also thinking about slippery bogle, but it'll take some more time to tweak the deck.
Thank you...keep me updated :)Again, you love to make my day and boost my ego!!
