Subject: Verdant Order deck... Date: Fri, 26 Dec 1997 18:00:15 +0800 From: Matrix1234 Newsgroups: rec.games.trading-cards.magic.strategy Well, with the reversal of the Verdant Force ruling, this card is much, MUCH better. Of course, it still isn't really tourney-viable. Anyways, here's a little deck I cooked up. It's aim to use Natural Order, sacking a weenie to get a Verdant Force out and eventually trample the opponent to death with an army of Saprolings and Overrun. So, here it is... LAND: 10 Forests 3 Undiscovered Paradises 4 Gemstone Mines 4 Skyshroud Forests CRITTERS: 4 River Boas {----- good green weenie 3 Jolrael's Centaurs {---- ditto 3 Rootwallas {----ditto 4 Llanowar Elves {---- speed up the deck 3 Verdant Forces {--- duh SPELLS: 3 Power Sinks {---- force the key spells thru 3 Memory Lapses {---- ditto 3 Mystical Tutors {---- fetch the Natural Order and Overrun 3 Mystic Veils {---- Protect the Force from Taals, Men-o-war, or what-have-you 3 Overrun {--- duh 4 Natural Orders {--- key spell ARTIFACTS: 3 Lotus Petals {---- speed things up a bit TOTAL: 60 cards Sideboard: undecided yet... Probably Lifeforce to counter the evil Perish, Disenchants, Chills and Mind Bends... As I said, this deck doesn't really seem tourney viable... But who knows... Maybe with some tinkering, it'll at least get into the top 64 of a PT or something :-) ... Provided, of course that Wylie doesn't change the ruling back again. That would truly suck. :-þ
