Don't forget that Deathgrip has a green counterpart called Life Force. Same exact card, except it counters Black spells. No one ever expects these two to hit the field.

And unlike black, green absolutely has the spare mana to make sure the mono black player never gets to play the game again.

9:08 The other thing to keep in mind with Destructive Flow is that you are playing Green. It's really not hard to run a 3 color deck with all basics if Green is one of them. I used to run this in a Jund reanimator deck (Adun Oakenshield) and I used all the Landcycle creatures to mana fix and provide reanimation targets.

Shout out for Devouring Strossus! I remember opening up Invasion and finding this monstrosity. I thought it was one helluva black beat down flier. The card I thought would work with it was Infernal Genesis, but back then seemed a little too much for standard . I thought about putting him in a Slimefoot and Squee commander deck. Where we keep sacrificing Slime & Squee to Devouring Strossuses' begin of upkeep ability. Yes I'm old. Long time subscriber Demo. Love it.

Deconstruct is only good in storm decks. In every other deck it's just a free artifact destruction card. If you are doing sorcery speed removal, just play Broken Bond. It's essentially destroy artifact or enchantment for 1 mana that ends up ramping you as well.

So I found Deconstruct in a bulk pile and have been a fan ever since. It's only artifact removal, but you get the mana back and you can chain into other spells.

well that 6 mana demon, when you have to sac as well. just add 1 mana and play Sheoldred whispering one, so you will get reanimation on your turn instead losing a creature.

Another card if you haven't covered it yet is Wave of Vitriol I have Death Match in my Thrull deck, it's quite wonderful. +2 Tevesh to make 2 thrulls, kill two things Give Deftblade Elite Banding and have it go with something that you want to get blocked but is too fragile to actually fight Meanwhile I play no fewer than 18 basics in a five color deck. You need to have that security for if a Blood Moon or Back to Basics drops. Plus they are rampable and grabable with Path to Exile
@crawdaddy20042 ай бұрын
For Deconstruct, it should be noted that it sorta works to cast cards with stricter mana requirements and/or multiple cards. Say you and an opponent played Sol Ring on Turn 1. Turn two, you can play circle of Dreams Druid and a Llanowar Elves.

Dense Foliage would be good tech for an equipment deck with green since you’re not targeting your creatures with spells, but with abilities. It can be rough if your creatures keep getting removed, and this can make it much harder to do so.

I do not think that Destructive Flow is good against people playing many nonbasics. Unless you play it really early or it sticks around a while, most players (except you) will probably have multiple nonbasics out. That means players with more of them can choose which ones to sacrifice and they will probably have a few they can spare. Players with a lot of basics on the other hand will have to sacrifice the few valuable utility and mana fixing lands they have.

how very odd Death or Glory seems to be unsearchable and possibly invisible on Moxfield, Scryfall didnt go directly to the card either instead opting for a page of similarly names cards, it was there but still very odd.
@alexanderficken93542 ай бұрын
the reason is you are including or in the title search terms as a function rather than as a string. What is happening when you search death or glory is a list of cards that have death in their name, or glory in their name. if a card has or in its name you need to search the exact name in quotes, "death or glory".
