A fast-paced Treefolk deck. I've played this deck a few times against some friends and it crushes them. It starts fast, and then goes overwhelmingly fast. This deck is also a submission for the Christmas deck challenge. AND it has a story! After endless decades of their brethren being chopped down and strung with lights and decorations (how humiliating!), the Treefolk have had enough! Don't even think about trying to chop these guys down, they're pissed! =]

I never thought I'd find treefolk menacing... I now regret this.

Haha yeah I know! Glad you like it man. I love how their massive toughnesses (and indestructibility) flavorfully work towards the fact that they won't/can't be chopped down.
Also, long time no see dude. Welcome back!
Made a small change of adding in Bramblewood Paragon, and damn is the difference scary. =]
EGADS BAT-MAN! I'm slightly staggered by how much power that adds to an already dangerous deck.
Hehehe I know it's insane! The only thing I wish I could add is a way to make them all have Vigilance. It would fit perfectly...a bunch of pissed-off trees that smash everything in their way and can't be toppled. Plus, the absurd toughness that they all have would make it damn near impossible for anything to get through... I gotta think on this one...
There we go. Final touches have been made. Quest for Renewal is arguably a better form of Vigilance and Oran-Rief, the Vastwood with Bramblewood Paragon is even more absurd than it was before =P
gasp! only two dourbarks??
All I need to be honest. Less is more =]
Alright, I did some trials with 4 of them and you're right...It works better. Making the change =]
Why do you have indomitable ancients in here the only way you have of playing him is with the leafcrowned elder. i mean its both a good blocker scratch that GREAT blocker but it can only do damage when you have doran out. But yes this is an amazingly powerful treefolk deck that only my elves could stand up against- but other then that it is extremely powerful but not as powerful but if you want to see stupid powerful i know a guy whos played magic since its been out and has a deck that is almost impossible to beat it will get you always on turn 2 if not it will get you on turn 3.
and also this deck put you in 1st place
Sweet. Yeah I have them in there as blockers that can do ~some damage~ but then they actually become my main offensive forces once I get Doran out. Also, the way this deck works, I have never had a problem dumping out the exact treefolk I want at any given moment =]
i'd suggest murmoring bosk (not sure spelling) so that you can play your dorans and such if they get stuck in your hand. you can also search for them with the harbinger. i built a treefolk deck for my friend, and he has the bosks just for a playset of maelstrom pulses, and you'd be surprised how handy that bit of removal is.... also, joraga treespeaker fits well in treefolk. hope i helped.
Well damn, all this running around X-mas shopping has scrambled my noodle...I thought I put those in. Well, all the same, thanks for reminding me! =]
Ugh...NO MORE! Seriously!
Hey check out my updated verstion of my ping deck its called flaming demise
how do you play Doran?
looks like the only way to play doran is 2 murming bosk
Leaf-Crowned Elder allows me to spew out Treefolk like crazy, and Treefolk Harbinger allows me to abuse that ability even more. I get Doran out turn 3-4 consistently. The Bosk is in case I get one in my hand.
Top thinking to create a Treefolk deck - Check out Elf-ish has left the building
amazing treefolk deck id add weatherseed treefolk in place of indomitable ancients. please omment on my decks not a lot of people do i think there good but want some opinions.
Nah, as I said in a previous post, with Doran's ability the Indomitable Ancients go from my prime blockers to my powerhouse attackers.
awesome deck, i too like the treefolk idea not to many people use it, like SOLO i dont have many comments, if ya could check out a deck that would rock. keep up the good wurk!
Commented for all of you gents. Glad you like the deck. =]

is there a purpose i'm missing to the snow-covered forests (as opposed to regular forests)? or do you just have them there for fun. Because if there isn't, there are cards from ice-age that benefit from you having the snow -covered land. however it's a small detail and you should be fine. but you do have a consistantly really good deck. <(^^)> <(^^<) (>^^)> <(^^)>
Mostly just for fun, those Snow-covered Forests are among my favorite Forest art. The other reason is this deck was submitted for a christmas deck challenge. The actual deck is in green sleeves and does actually have those forests =P
wow - I can't believe that didn't come to me Christmas Deck Haha nice
Haha thanks. Hey btw, with your name...Sprechen Sie Deutsch? =]
no, my name just happends to be of that origin, Je parle un peu de francais but that's all
Just added Cream of the Crop in. Holy hell is that card abused when I have Leaf-Crown out, good lord.
this is faster but my deck has one + flying
True. I'll have to put Plummets and Gravity Wells into my sideboard. =]
awesome deck i tried a crack at treefolk once i like tribal decks. can u take a look at my newest vamp list? http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=126996
wow! never thought treefolk could get so ridiculous! i mean with timber protecter..... almost seems unfair lol !
Yeah, Treefolk are one of the "Hidden Gems" of magic I think. And there's no almost about it, it is completely unfair =P
How about the legandary one that is G/B hybrid, indestructable, whenever you deal damage put the top card of your libary into your had, lose life equal to power and gain equal to toughness? Sorry, cant remember name. Otherwise, a really good and mean deck.
Well I thought about him, but odd as it may sound, I don't want to be putting too many Treefolk in my hand. It's way easier to cheat them all in than to play them from my hand =P
saproling of colnifor is good, but just isnt needed in a treefolk deck. i've tried it in mine, and surprisingly it just slows it down.
Exactly. As for your below post, may I point out the fact that in nearly any green deck Overwhelming Stampede is a disgustingly powerful card. Still, I'm a man who cares about the flavor of his decks nearly as much as the quality. Treefolk simply do not stampede, end of story. =]
oh, and i forgot one thing: Overwhelming stampede. though treefolk tend not to have the highest toughness, you'd be surprised how amazing it is in treefolk. and it's just disgusting when combined with Dauntless durabark....... [laughs evilly].......
Nice deck
Quick question. Does Oran-Reif, Murmuring Bosk, and Gaea's Cradle all count as basic lands? If not that would make a lot of those land retrieving cards suck.
Just looked into it and here is a snippet copied from the rules "Other lands are non-basic and may produce other combinations or amounts of mana, or may have other abilities." So all of those land are not basic and therefore you cant search for them. You may have known this already and maybe I am just misinterpreting why you put those land retrieving cards in. One interesting point that I found is that Murmuring Bosk counts as a forest and therefore Treefolk Harbinger could be used to retrieve it because it specifies forest on the card instead of basic land.
Yeah, I have 16 things that count as forests, and a maximum 12 that I could grab with Cultivate/Khalni Heart Expedition. Truth be told the mana ramping I get from them is just an added bonus to the main reason I use them -- deck thinning. Dumping out all those lands makes my chances of spewing out treefolk much higher. =]
May I make one recommendation? Take out the Khalni Heart Expeditions and replace them with Sylvan Scrying. That card says land, not basic land, which would allow you to grab your nonbasic lands. Could make this deck much better.
It's a good idea, but the effect of 2 lands on the field versus just one in my hand is more appealing to me. Still, I appreciate the suggestion =]
I have a question for you. If you have a Bramblewood Paragon in play and you use the oran-rief to put a +1/+1 counter on a non-warrior creature would Bramblewood Paragon still give that creature Trample? I noticed that Bramblewood Paragon didn't say anything about the origin of the +1/+1 counter.
Yes. And, better yet, Oran-Rief says "that came into play", not "that was played/cast". This means my Kinship effect with Leaf-crowned works with it. The synergy is freakin' fantastic! =]
ok mr Shurewhynot, im thinking of ripping off this deck and take it to a legacy game day at my local store, in a scale of 1-10 how important would you rate the Gaea's cradle? it seems like that is the only real budget killer in this deck.. :7 (as i've told you earlier, this is one of your (imo) best tribal decks)
It's not very important to have really. In almost every case it quickly becomes WAY more mana than you can even think of putting a use to. I have it in there because it can allow an occasional jump in speed, and because I have them, but they aren't critical by any means. =]
Im also thinking of taking this deck and making it my own XD!! Would you bother replacing the cradle or no? Also, your amazing at making decks, could you help me with a dragons deck? I posted a deck challenge, would love to have you take a look!
tgtony has deleted this comment.
cards have been ordered, without the cradle though... might add an extra bramblewood paragon in its place :)
Great deck
would this deck work well in modern format?
Is it possible to play this deck without Gaea's Cradle? it's too expensive for me. Is there anything i can use instead of it?
Yeah absolutely. Cradle just adds a hefty boost in the speed of the deck, but even running just forests in its place works, the deck is still plenty fast. I often find that when I play this and I get cradle out, I have TOO much mana available...so you absolutely don't NEED it, I just happen to own them so I just put them in.As to things that could replace it...there really are no lands that match Cradle...that's why it's so damn expensive. If I were you, I'd just run forests in their place or a land that is just fun for you to use.
Would´ve been downright insane if "Tree of Redemption" was a Treefolk :-0´Wizards, make the change !´
I know...It would have been great! There's some other creatures printed recently where I just look at them and think, "Why isn't this a treefolk?"
