Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

Hi all!

This deck is based on denying lands to your opponent through Frost Titan, Acidic Slime and Beast within, with viridian emissary and elves to ramp (no birds because i dun want to spend too much money), Ponder to try to get the cards that you need (be it a land or a land remover) and mana leak and vapor snag to slow your opponent while you set up the board control. Dungeon geist is there to control any creatures that slip through.

Hope for comments to improve this deck and suggestions for sideboard. Thanks!

Hi yes cackling counterpart seems like something i missed totally! They would work well with acidic slime too i think.. Any suggestions what I should take out for it?

Have you considered splashing in white for Venser? He is nasty if you combo him with Acidic Slime. Allows you to kill a land every turn.

Hi I see how Venser is a really good combo. Hmm a little reluctant to spend the money for 4 planeswalker though it's likely to double the cost of my deck. What would you suggest i replace it with though?

Thanks to all who have commented or will be commenting! really appreciate the different views/cards i may have missed while building the deck. One other thing, some suggestions for building the sideboard would be great! I have totally no idea how to go about building my sideboard!

The main issue that I have is the main cards you use for the core mechanic (land denial); cost so much that by the time you play them, your opponent will most likely have enough land out to do what his deck does.

If you splash white: Ghostly Prison: great for dealing with creatures; and Swords to plowshares/path to exile: spot creature removal.

Without splashing white; I have no suggestions to improve upon this, but I do have two decks that might peak your interest. One is a true "Lock-Down" Deck, the other is a Black/White Land Destroy.
