Green Equals Power!

Why do you have duel lands? The scry isn't worth it

this deck is more of a midrange deck, making late scry pretty effective for filtering out lands you dont need or spells that arent currently useful for whatever situation you find yourself in. some top decks run off color scry lands just to scry, because it IS worth it.

Scry is totally worth it. The ability to stack the deck how you want is amazing.

This doesnt seem like a funny comment, and its strictly worse than a useful one.

I'm saying go ham or go home. Either play good green cards.dec or play janky green devotion, not this hybrid that is strictly worse than good green but trying to be it at the same time.

Youre telling someone who is trying to be a creative deckbuilder that, essentially ,their deck is bad and they should play a net.deck, because it makes you feel better. how about this? You let the people who want to build decks to experiment with build them, and you continue to have no imagination and copy/paste "your" decks off the internet. Your initial comment adds nothing to this guys build, and you seem to fail to realize that there are still people around that enjoy the creative side of the game.

I have no clue about net decking. I only homebrew and I've played the game for a total of a week and a half. You're misprepresenting me.. I'm saying this deck list isn't really accomplishing a green devotion deck or a green deck as far as I can tell and my recommendation is building either, not both at the same time.

if you have played the game for a week and a half, you should be taking advice, not giving it.

You guys are committing ad hominen here… But if you want to know about me (maybe this will affect the validity of my advice?): I've played the game for a week and a half (since last Monday). During that time I've only played in three drafts. I won two of them and placed third in the other (one FNM and the other two Monday night drafts - I'm SURE you've BOTH won and/or placed top 3 in your past three visits to your card shop making your advice equal to mine?). The FLGS people here are not terrible - there are a couple of casual players, some scrubs, and some decent players who travel to tournaments and do well in them. Being good at limited doesn't necessarily translate into being good at constructed, so you got me there… except I'm the state champion in WoW TCG (very similar to MTG), have placed top 8 in several other card games' worlds and nationals, and generally do pretty well at competitive games.

Look, I can't help it that NinjaStyle took my original comment as a flame, as "telling someone they should net deck", as telling someone their deck was bad, as stifling creativity, and apparently as malicious (these are his accusations). I said the deck was strictly worse than just playing the best green cards or playing towards his devotion gimmick. This is true and it's not mean. I wouldn't say bad or good, just worse or better. Bad and good involve context and I have no idea what his competition is. I said he should either keep some of his less efficient cards, but include ones that further synergize toward his devotion gimmick or play better creatures/spells in each of his slots. That's a parallel statement to my first post. Why are you so against it?

ClockworkCopper, you added nothing with your comment. I don't think your first language is English or you're very young (this is not a flame; I really think that's apparent), so let me say this very clearly: Read my response to NinjaStyle. I am not flaming EDHGeneral. I offered help by saying pick a path, don't try to play two different decks at once. There is nothing wrong with leaving a comment that basically says: "I do not like this deck." However, that was not the point of my comments, anyway. You are doing the exact thing you're wrongly accusing me of. You're saying "I don't like your comment." to me. Does this make sense? Do you see how you are doing exactly what you're condemning at the same time?

I wonder if you will both cease and desist now? This isn't an ideal use of my time and probably not yours either.

I think there is a problem with leaving a comment saying "I don't like this deck", but I agree with your main point

"blah blah blah Im the best blah blah blah" No one is here to hear your lies. No one needs advice from someone who has to post their accolades (true or not, likely the latter) on the internet. Youre in here blowing your own horn and talking to hear yourself talk. Cool bro, you think youre hot shit. No one cares, and some douchedick who has been playing for 15 minutes doesnt know enough to be dolling out advice like they have been playing for years. Im through cluttering up this thread arguing with you. Make your last words count.

BTW, its "Ad Hominem." trying to look smart is tough, isnt it?

I figured I'd offer some background since YOU wanted to make my experience relevant to my advice. I figured you might as well know it. I have nothing to gain from my like 11-1 record in draft except lots of store credit (I turned in the packs). I won't gain or lose anything on this site. And you're right, I'm not going to go to any lengths to prove that I'm being honest about this so you can assume what you want (apparently that nothing I say is true). But if you want to assume that the accomplishments I listed are not true, why would you assume I'm being honest about being a new player?

I am typing these posts from my phone and I have autocorrect turned off because I frequently type in Anglicized Nepali. If I understand you, you're saying I'm trying to "look smart" by calling you out for ad hominem (which I allegedly can't spell) and this is reason for invalidating my response to your accusations?

This was a great suggestion! Experiment One fits perfectly into this deck since it's attempting to curve out on creatures.

this deck is good but not great you should add more removal like black to kill other creatures

take out temple of mystery you dont have blue cards so not needed

Technically, he doesn't have red cards either (BTE can be played for GG). However, as mentioned in another comment, scry is very useful.

Scrys not good u don't draw the card

Scry let's you stack the deck how you want it. If you scry into a card you dont need at the time, you cant have a chance for a better one.

Holy hell MillBill, you are dense

What I read is u and clockwork are the trolls starting stuff so maybe u guys should go somewhere else and leave the real players on here

"the real players" understand why the scry lands are here. you dont seem to have a grasp on things. no one here is trolling, except maybe you. Comments like "scry is not good, you dont draw the card" illustrate just how deep your ignorance on the subject goes.

This is almost the same problem as evolving wilds in a mono color deck. Its just to thin out your deck. And if you have a little more money you can use zendicar fetch lands. So i also see why scry lands are good.

Millbill99. Are you retarded or something?
