help for a green deck?

**Jil** · January 21st, 2009, 03:23 PM

I could really use some advice on building a new deck.

I am looking to build a green deck for casual play - something that is effective but still fun to play. Splashing a little of another color is an option - I have quite a bit of white and blue to work with. I'm not a big fan of token decks but I am not entirely opposed to the concept.

I would like to use a couple of forgotten ancients, perhaps? The cards that deal damage even if they were blocked look tasty also, although most have a high casting cost. Green seems to produce quite a lot of mana.

I would prefer to keep the overall cost to no more than forty dollars.

Any advice/tips?

I suggest this exact deck: Elvish Succession, Part III: Deck-by-Deck Strategies, by Rob Dougherty - a Magic: the Gathering Standard / Type II article

Looks like a crap elf deck with a little juice (rav bal) but then combos out of nowhere.

Are we talking like big green punching you in the face type deck?

Try searching for a deck like Secret Force from way back, or Stupid Green (the thing with desert twister, spike weaver, and Stampeding Wildebeest http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/Card....aspx?&id=3678).

I Know that neither of those are what you asked for, but they are rather amusing to play. Stupid green is more of a control deck. I doubt it would be amazing in multiplayer.

Llanowar Elves + Fyndhorn Elves + Priest of Titania + Rofellos = all the mana you could ever need in mono green fatty decks.

The cards that deal damage even if they were blocked look tasty also, although most have a high casting cost

thorn elemental and rhox both were mass printed for one of the core set get a player hooked box sets, so the promo/foil type print of it may be easier to find than the one they were first printed in if you are looking for them.
