The basic premise is that from about turn two or three on you pump out a medium green creature or a big fattie each turn. Your opponent either deals with them or dies. I've done a little bit of play testing so far. Beats weenie pretty handily, it takes some damage early, but once you hit the FAT LEVEL, the chump blocking begins. Also beats counterburn, because after an initial flurry of counters, it can start laying two fats a turn, and recycles the countered ones with the barishi (power) and the blessings (power). The burn doesn't hurt the fatties much (obviously). The deck gets pretty funny when you Well of Knowledge for 3 extra cards, gaea's blessing, harrow, drop a fattie, drop another fattie, then drop another. Neil, thanx alot for the idea, you made some great points about green Ben Colvin wallywebb@hotmail.com "Green is the color of FATTIEFUN" ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
