MTG: Casual: Selesnya United: Unorthodox Version

Felix Feral Fezirix

Densetsu no Pikachu!
Rawr. So hit me for this. As the title says, it's highly unorthodox, so don't come after me with a gun or something like that.

Monsters:
1 X Guardian of Vitu-Ghazi
2 X Siege Wurm
1 X Tolsimir Wolfblood
3 X Conclave Phalanx
2 X Tel-Jilad Exile
2 X Votary of the Conclave
1 X Dousing Shaman
2 X Nullmage Shepherd
2 X Selesnya Guildmage
2 X Watchwolf
4 X Selesnya Evangel
2 X Sandsower
1 X Courier Hawk
1 X Centaur Safeguard
1 X Conclave Equenaut
1 X Elvish Skysweeper
1 X Blazing Archon
1 X Root-Kin Ally
1 X Selesnya Sagittars
1 X Ursapine
1 X Scion of the Wild

Enchantments:
3 X Fists of Ironwood
3 X Faith's Fetters
1 X Pollenbright Wings
1 X Moldervine Cloak

Instants:
1 X Stir the Pride
2 X Raise the Alarm
1 X Seeds of Strength
2 X Scatter the Seeds
3 X Gather Courage
1 X Chord of Calling

Sorcery:
1 X Overwhelm
1 X Reap and Sow
1 X Hour of Reckoning
1 X Creeping Mold

Lands:
4 X Selesnya Sanctuary
11 X Forest
10 X Plains

This deck is more of creature spammage. Early game, use Skysweepers and Votarys to sustain you, as well as Watchwolf. Courier Hawk will net you a few free strikes, and stop that pesky Silhana Ledgewalker from poking it's way into your life. Evangel will rake in the tokens together with Ironwood, and with a little Convoking, Scatter the Seeds will come out. Of course there's also Raise the Alarm so that your tokens won't all get wiped out by a single Cleansing Beam.

Mid-game, pull Scion, Siege Wurm, and if you're fast enough, Blazing Archon. These all are accomplished through Chord of Calling, or through drawing them luckily, excluding the latter, I guess. Equenauts together with Courier Hawk do some more Flying havok, and Skysweeper takes out opposing Flying creatures.

Late game calls for Overwhelm/Hour of Reckoning/Stir the Pride. End of story.

There isn't a fixed playing method. It's all about adapting to the situation. Need to get bigger? Gather Courage and Moldervine Cloak in that corner. Need your opponent to lose some land? Pull Creeping Mold and Reap and Sow. In the case of the latter, grab a land too. Need artifact/enchanment destruction? Call in the Nullmage. Life gain? Phalanx. Stopping creatures? Sandsower. Multi-blocking? Sagittar.

And the final example would be something getting too annoying, from enchantment to lands to artifacts to the very obvious creatures. There is a very simple solution, of which there are three, called Faith's Fetters. End of story.

Rawr. Rate.

First things first- an 80 card deck is way too many cards to be efficient. Especially with only 25 of them being land.

Ok, I see that you're not using just standard-legal cards, so that makes things a little easier. I'll try to keep the deck relatively cheap for you.

-x1 Blazing Archon
-x1 Ursapine
-x1 Dowsing Shaman
-x3 Conclave Phalanx
-x1 Root-kin Ally
-x2 Sandsower
-x1 Selensya Saggitars
-x1 Seeds of Strength
-x1 Conclave Equenaut
-x2 Raise the Alarm
-x3 Plains
-x1 Centaur Safeguard
-x3 Gather Courage
-x1 Selensya Evangel
-x1 Overwhelm
-x1 Guardian of Vitu-Ghazi
-x1 Courier Hawk
-x1 Creeping Mold
-x1 Forest
-x1 Selensya Sanctuary

Ok, and here's where to add stuff. If you wonder about anything I changed, just ask me why.
+x2 Scatter the Seeds
+x2 Glare of Subdual
+x2 Stir the Pride
+x2 Vitu-Ghazi, the City Tree

You may want to drop some of the creatures you have left for more Moldervines

So this is the final list. At 60 cards it'll probably work a lot better than before.

Creatures: 18
2 X Siege Wurm
1 X Tolsimir Wolfblood
2 X Tel-Jilad Exile
2 X Votary of the Conclave
2 X Nullmage Shepherd
2 X Selesnya Guildmage
2 X Watchwolf
3 X Selesnya Evangel
1 X Scion of the Wild
1 X Elvish Skysweeper

Non-creature: 20
3 X Fists of Ironwood
3 X Faith's Fetters
1 X Pollenbright Wings
1 X Moldervine Cloak
2 X Glare of Subdual

3 X Stir the Pride
4 X Scatter the Seeds
1 X Chord of Calling

1 X Reap and Sow
1 X Hour of Reckoning

Land- 22
3 X Selesnya Sanctuary
2 X Vitu-Ghazi, the City Tree
10 X Forest
7 X Plains

The deck is more token based, but that's Selensya for you. More Watchwolves are recommended, as are more Hour and another Tolsimir never really hurt. Last I checked, Glare were only a few bucks a piece so two isn't too much. As a general rule, life gain isn't good out of a life-gain based deck with Test of Endurance. You may want to find some more fliers for this deck also and replace some of what's already in here. I'd leave that up to more of a sideboard option. Either way, with more token engines, you can hit off your skysweeper for desperate attempts easier.

Actually the deck was more of based on the decks I play against. Try building a deck to against Arcbound, Spirit, Ninja, Five-colour, Unblockable, Myr Overload, Pestilence (my own >_<), mono-green Trample overload, and a heck lot more when they don't allow sideboards. Argh. >_<

I'll try and get those cards, but I'll have to mass buy boosters. >_< Singapore is so screwed.

You can always just buy singles off the internet. That's where I get mine. Card shops are always overpriced.

When I find another one Faith's Fetters, yes.

I need to find my tourney pack to find that City Tree I had......Argh.

If Singapore had enough loose Magic cards flying around, I could get most of those cards for 10 cents a piece. We are so cheap.

I might build a sideboard, but I guess it'll have to be discreet. >_<

I would swap you Hour of Reckoning for Phytohydra, but something tells me it'll save my hide lots.

Opponent: Since I'll kill you next turn with my Tramplers, I'll give you one turn's grace.

[Next turn]

-pulls Hour of Reckoning-

Opponent: NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Man. If only that could happen.

-runs to check Doubling Season-

Erm... If there was a single effective way to include Tears of Rage into your deck it would be really funny.
