Deck Description

Just starting to get back into magic and I thought I would construct a mono green standard deck. The hornet nest stood out as an interesting card, so I decided to base it around that.

I used to play a basilisk-lure-cockatrice deck back when I learned to play (around revised)

How to Play

Pair the Temur Sabertooth and Invasive species with the Hornet Queen
Pair Setessan Tactics with hornet nest

Frontier seige, roar of challenge and heart-piercer to force deathtouch

Deck discussion for EpiPen

Welcome back! :-) Just thought I'd give you a couple suggestions you may want to consider:

1) Sadly, the Heart-piercer on a death touch creature doesn't work the way you want it to... the Heart-piercer deals the 1 damage, not the creature it's attached to so the creature just takes 1 damage and the death touch isn't activated.

2) With all this death touch, you might want to consider Hunter's Prowess. Gives a creature +3\+3 and trample, and then you draw cards equal to the amount of damage done to the player. Or Warrior's Lesson- let's you give 2 of your creatures "draw cards when damaging an opponent."

3) And along those death touch lines, Heir of the Wild is another card you might want to consider. 2\2 for 1G with death touch and ferocious. (adds +1\+1 when attacking)

4) You might need a little more muscle. You've got a bunch of smaller power death touch guys, but aside from the Sabertooth, not much actual punch... like a Polukranos, for example...

5) I might up the land count to 22... you want to make sure you get that 2nd land w\ the elf, or get to the 3rd land for the Courser...

Hopefully that helps a bit. Either way, happy building :-)

1) I didn't even think about that with the Heart-Piercer... sad-face.

2&3) I will take a look at those, I am not familiar with either.

4) Yeah, I used to play a basilisk, cockatrice, lure & regeneration deck... a long time ago... and it always worked well. I didn't ever need any muscle. Although, I did have some giant growths, forks and beserk.

5) I will keep that in mind with the lands... I did many test draws using the simulator on the site and it typically came out fairly strong - I will see what happens IRL - I may may need to increase the land as you said.

Thanks for the feedback?
