Deck Description

The plants are angry. And they're coming for you, growing all the while.

Haven't I seen bad 80s horror movies like this?

How to Play

I've made landfall decks before, but for this deck, I decided to dream a bit and see what I could do with maxed out copies of Avenger of Zendikar. Turns out there's some GREAT synergy with my favorite block: the original Ravnica. The infamous City of Guilds offers some planty goodness with Phytohydra and its little cousin Sprouting Phytohydra, some Golgari zombified Plants like Slittherhead and Dreg Mangler, and a creature that had landfall before landfall existed: Vinelasher Kudzu. Toss in some landfall fun and you've got the recipe for some fine vegetarian cooking.

So how does this all work? The core is simple: get lots of Plants from your creatures, the Gardens, and the Avengers themselves, then play and replay lots of lands to rack up +1/+1 tokens on them. Bounce those lands with Ruin Ghost to double the fun. And get Amulet of Vigor out so that all those Ravnica Karoos, Khalni Gardens, and other lands and don't enter tapped after all. That means you can tap lands for mana, bounce them with the Ghosts, then play and re-tap for double the mana. Between them and Oracle of Mul Daya, you can easily trigger landfall 4+ times each turn, and have an outside shot at twice that much. And since I'm dreaming, I figured why not throw in Primeval Titan to grab lots of land in the first place? Sure, I could go with Khalni Heart Expedition or Cultivate or something simple instead, but since this is a dream deck anyway, why not live it up?

One more neat little trick: Svogthos, the Restless Tomb is a lot of fun here, as it can be bounced as a land like the others or have some of that extra mana dumped into it to make another Plant. Fun fact: any tokens put it on it remain even when it goes back to being a simple land.

Anyway, let me know what you think. You could build this on a budget by stripping out the Titans and eliminating a couple Avengers and replacing them with cheaper alternatives, but if you have the money to burn, I'd be curious to see if someone could pull an idea like this off. If you do, let me know how it turns out. Hope it gives you some good ideas!
