I would like some thoughts on playing in a league. This is a casual league, so don't get your panties in a twist.

1) I have opened my fourth pack, so now I have 10 packs worth of stuff. Is it OK to play more than 40 cards? I have zero mana fixing, so I know I need to stay in two colors. I don't feel comfortable moving to just one color.

2) I have a good idea of how I want to roll with this, but I'd like fresh sets of eyes to look my pool over. Here it is: link

Tell me your thoughts on each of my colors.

Looks like a nuts g/w deck. Just load up on creatures and play all 3 spider spawnings. Add in a swamp and your caravan vigil for the flash backs. Take any creature trade your opponents offer.

G/w, huh? That's a neat idea. I'm a little worried about the lack of removal.

I feel like I'm close to a solar flare type deck as well, but I'm not there yet. May not get there, but it would be fun if I did.

Well keep in mind spider spawning is a bomb. The later the game goes, the better it gets. You have 3. Also, you have a tiny bit of fixing as well as a few mana elves. Typically if I can't run solid removal, I just run as many creatures as I possibly can. Avoid tricks and just add in more creatures. Make sure to keep an eye on your curve, it should be fine.

Spider Spawning isn't really a bomb


1 Kruin Outlaw
2 Avacynian Priest
1 Elite Inquisitor
1 Fiend Hunter
1 Slayer of the Wicked
2 Mausoleum Guard
1 Thrabne Sentry
1 Abbey Griffin
1 Gallows Warden
1 Geist Honored Monk
1 Dearly Departed
1 Manored Gargoyle


1 Smite the Monstrous
1 Geist Flame
2 Brimstone Volley
2 Harvest Pyre
1 Blazing Torch
1 Silver-Inlaid Dagger (This is the Bonesplitter type card right?)
1 Mid Nighting Haunting

10W 7R


This deck looks pretty nuts, had to cut some of the early and non-bomb double red spells to get to 40

I'd be playing W/R aggro. I would not play Smite and I would play Into the Maw

Agree, into the maw kills absolutely everything, and it keeps people off their splash to boot.

I'll show you what I was running before pack 4, which had the Sentry and the Gargoyle in it:

8 Mountain
8 Plains

1 Champion of the Parish
1 Doomed Traveler
2 Avacynian Priest
1 Elite Inquisitor
1 Unruly Mob
1 Urgent Exorcism
1 Village Bell-Ringer
1 Fiend Hunter
1 Slayer of the Wicked
2 Mausoleum Gurad
1 Smite the Monstrous
1 Geist-Honored Monk
1 Dearly Departed

2 Geistflame
1 Harvest Pyre
1 Village Ironsmith
2 Brimstone Volley
1 Kruin Outlaw
1 Into the Maw of Hell

1 Sharpened Pitchfork

I cut Midnight Haunting because I wanted to focus on humans, and didn't have the room for it (probably could consider cutting one geistflame for it though). 4 of my 15 dudes are human, and the other one is Dearly Departed. I like my guys having first strike over +3/+0 because I don't want them to trade, which is why I cut the dagger.

I ran one Exorcism main and one side because I didn't want to get caught off guard by something and lose to it. Mostly I used it to kill enchantments, like the red rare curse and Full Moon's Rise.

I had both Pyres in for a long time, but two just never seemed that good to me because my creatures weren't dying, so I had few spells to pitch to them, same reason I cut Past In Flames early on.
