Description of deck
Mike Flores @ www.wizards.com
(quoted):
Daniel Samson nearly won the $5,000 day,
coming in third behind the pair of Blue-Black Faeries decks. His
Mono-Green Aggro deck was like a showcase floor for everything
Shadowmoor has done with hybrid mana and -1/-1 counters.
The most obvious card in the deck is Wilt-Leaf Liege.
In case people didn't realize they should play with this guy, he hands
+2/+2 to more creatures in this deck than I can easily count (and +1/+1
to the rest).
The less obvious one is Heartmender. Why is
Heartmender any good? With the numerous -1/-1 counters in this deck
thanks to persist, Heartmender (besides being a conditional 4/4
creature) can keep Kitchen Finks and Safehold Elite going and going
forever.
Shield of the Oversoul is surprisingly impressive in
this deck because so many of the creatures are white. Not only does it
make an already hard to kill green creature even harder to kill, but
Shield of the Oversoul also hands that creature both size and evasion to
quicken the pace and cut down the race. |
