Deck Description

Although you could easily play this in 1-on-1, this deck is designed to play aggressively in multiplayer. Something you usually don't want to do because you'll draw all the fire and run into board sweepers.

However, this is why I build this a bit less explosive but a lot more durable. Most of your cards can either be used multiple times or replace themselves or let you draw additional cards or produce copies of creatures so that you don't run out of steam. Examples:

Spawnwrithe plus pump: As long as you deal damage to the opponent, it doesn't matter if Spawnwrithe dies because you get another one.
Vice versa, as long as Rot Wolf kills a creature, you can use a pump spell on him without losing a card.
Triton Fortune Hunter instantly replaces any pump spells etc.

The Metagmorphs, Artisan of Forms and Followed Footsteps are there to be competitive if the game proceeds to the end game where your opponents get the ridiculous stuff out.

Kavu Predator plus Invigorate is a nasty combo that pumps the Predator tremendously, giving him effectively +7/+7 for zero mana (+3/+3 of that permanently). Note that he tramples already. I consider to add Reverent Silence to make the Predator insanely huge, however, this might turn the deck into a kind of combo deck which is usually not where I am heading to, on the other hand, it's about time to notch my decks up a bit.

The Selkies are insane in this deck and Noble Hierarch would be rad (would replace the BoPs), however, 2 Selkies is all I have and the Hierarchs are not easy to trade for.

I do lack flyers and found none that fit the theme. I also run no removal, so Trygon Predators might be nifty, however, just once I wanted to build a straight deck that kicks (multiplayer-) ass without worrying too much about the usual stuff. In fact, I think adding Trygon Predators, lifegain and the usual shenanigans would only dillute the deck. I'll hit hard and continously until my opponent stops me somehow or until he is a bloody pulp. Fuck, yeah!

How to Play

Build up, attack early, hit hard. Ideally you want your opponent to block and then pump your dude. Always try to be ahead in the damage race so he is forced to block with his flyers or other problematic creatures. Since you have a lot of tramplers and spells that provice trample, you can literally trample over regenerators, indestructibles, protection from stuff creatures and so on. You' draw or produce replacements for the cards you lose, so, as long as the opponent also loses something, you are alright!

Deck discussion for Pump up the Wham!

I am not sure you always see the words "aggressive" and "multiplayer" used together. So nice call on this deck. I wish I had more friends/people to play against...i don't get the chance to play multiplayer much. So, the few times a year i do get to, i just have to use one of my 1 on 1 decks...

Interesting, how did that happen?
I hate my life in that I am living in a very poor part of the USA. Never traveled anywhere. Maybe no more than 500 miles from where I currently live.
After years of hard factory work (making mattresses)...i am going back to college, at 30, to go into business.
Tired of being broke/manual labor. Got about 2 years to go, out of 4 years total, to get a B.A. in Business Management.
Sorry...went off on a tangent. :)
A Taiwanese woman and German man...how did that come about?

She studied here and I picked her up in a Döner shop :P ... not a very romantic story, I know. I live in Hamburg, it's a melting pot of cultures and ethnicity anyway. She was struggling with the language and I had studied being a teacher (never finished that one, though), so I had a good excuse to talk her into meetings/dates :) That was 8 or 9 years ago.

Will a BA get you a job anyway? I read so much about the situation in the US ... okay, mainly articles on cracked.com but interestingly enough, that site does actually a better job at journalism than regular news outlets. Okay, now I am the one digressing ...

Yep, I am studies to be a High School teacher this semester, but have already put in to change majors next semester to Business. Irony :)

More Irony...last, 20 years in the USA, everyone has been pushed to go to college. Believe it or not, especially in rural/poor places, our parents/grandparents never had the chance to go to college. But most of us, nowadays, have a chance to go to college. So EVERYONE is going. Now...jobs that require 4 years of college, are hard to get because everyone is going to college so they can have them.

And stuff like metal workers/techs/welders are making lots of money. And they can't get enough workers to hire because no one is going to technical colleges now. Back in the day, no one wanted these jobs and they paid very poor.

More Irony for you. Wife loves cracked.com.
