Both players have no hand, I assume we are at higher life because of Martyr shenanigans, and all of a sudden you have lands to deal with that Garruk they still have in play. Thoughts?

i think zoo, affinity, monored burn and other aggro decks should be quite good
blue is good
so our only problem is rock …

So far over the last 24 hours I have lost once to DC Rock because of a rough matchup, and once to affinity because I f4′d through my third turn without playing a land, and ended up dying before i could cast wrath. I’ve won my other …approximately eight or so rounds, mostly against Affinity, or artifact decks of some description. If you can come up with a way to deal with DC Rock (it’s mostly the manlands), i’d highly reccommend it. Without that – I wouldn’t suggest it for American and European fields, too many people play good decks as opposed to the sea of homebrews here in Australia.

maybe ignorant bliss can help … i dont know but i think we can work something out

You are going to trick me into playing this, aren’t you? I think that I am definitely going to play Mistveil Plains if I play this.

@pandabaer
Rather than Red I am thinking about splashing Temple Garden, Sakura-Tribe Elder, and Life from the Loam for The Rock. Is that awful? It might not even be worth it.

Round 1 in the Q I played against affinity. We both kept low-land hands, my 26 lands pulled out earlier, and I stalled with a couple of wraths until I hit Akroma’s Vengeance mana. Kapow! game 2 I went turn 2 Kataki for the easy 2-0 win

Round 2 I played against Zoo, and used wraths in tandem with Challices to clear the board then lock down his options. Game 2 I kept a one-lander on the draw, rationing that if I drew two land in my first four turns, I should be OK, as I had an eternal dragon, a tithe and a condemn for early game. Well I didn’t. Game 3 I had him Chalice-for 1 turn 2, chalice for 2 turn 4 locked pretty quickly. I again used wraths for edge, and eventually I got there with Urza’s Factory tokens, which was pretty cool. I added insurance with an eternal dragon on the turn before he scooped, but the Assembly-Workers would have gotten there.

As I was typing this, I won another 4-man (i’d be playing 8 mans if they filled >_>)

Round 1 was affinity again. I stumbled a bit on my mana, and he managed to Fatal Frenzy me out in game 1. In game 2 I got a turn 2 concession off of Kataki and in game 3, he had a slow draw that I just made worse with Mana Tithe on his first Ravager, Condemn on his second, 2-for-1 with wrath, And then all of a sudden I cast Crovax and that was that

Round 2 I played against dredge, and thankfully I had a double Martyr draw to hold off his bridges. I had him down to about 20 cards, post-Akroma’s Vengeance and suddenly the board looked clear for him. But then I forecast my first Proclamation, and that was that – That combo is such a kick in the balls for them. Not only do you gain a bajillion per turn, but you reset all the bridges you want. Fun times! Game 2 he mulled to four, and he scooped the turn before I was about to cast Crovax.

I love this deck, Mike! Thanks for posting it! The only change I made was -2 plains for 2 Desert, but that was only because I don’t have enough Plains in my account

Divinity seems less than thrilling against Death Cloud. If we’re putting them on Loam and Crime, Cloud seems likely too.
Could Genju of the Fields be good at all? It seems doubtful, but it comes down early and sticks around.
