A New Harvest

It always seemed to me that Worm Harvest was one of the most underestimated cards when it was in a position to see play.  You can recast it by discarding a land and it provides an immense amount of board advantage.  The list I have to show you today is a pretty crazy Harvest deck that can pull off some nuts draws, especially with the new(ish) card Realms Uncharted.

What if the game started off something like:
T1 Terramorphic Expanse, then pop it
T2 land, Overgrown Battlement
T3 land, Harrow, Realms Uncharted (one of the picks is a Dakmor Salvage, the land with Dredge)
T4 Terramorphic Expanse, another Realms Uncharted
T5 Worm Harvest for 7 1/1 tokens
And thanks to Dakmor Salvage, that's seven 1/1 tokens per turn.

Here's the list.  There are some weird synergies that it takes a moment to see, but you'll be surprised:
4 Krosan Restorer
4 Overgrown Battlement
4 Wall of Roots
3 Tilling Treefolk
1 Sisters of Stone Death

2 Brainspoil
4 Darkblast
2 Edge of Autumn
4 Harrow
4 Realms Uncharted
4 Worm Harvest

3 Dakmor Salvage
2 Evolving Wilds
6 Forest
4 Golgari Rot Farm
1 Svogthos, the Restless Tomb
4 Swamp
4 Terramorphic Expanse

Fun deck with some explosive draws.  Great casual deck for a $10 budget, if you ask me!

Until next time, play on.

Joinin' the Bandwagon

Well, Infect has become a bit of a (weak in tournament play, but great in casual) bandwagon. It's all about poison counters. I even see non-infect decks splashing stuff to poison people to death because, well, it's fun. My experience with poison has been a mostly losing battle. These topdecked pump spells usually end games. But there's a better pump than that Might of Oaks (which my brother plays in his Legacy Infect deck) that's also Standard legal: Gigantiform.

Gigantiform, that card that makes the enchanted creature 8/8 and gives it Trample. Remember it? The wincon for Sovereigns before Conscription. Here's a rough UG list. I apologize for not having a "scroll over to see the card" kind of plugin. I don't know how to get one. Regardless, without further ado, here's the Standard-legal list.

4 Blight Mamba
3 Corpse Cur
4 Cystbearer
4 Ichorclaw Myr
4 Necropede
3 Thrummingbird

3 Contagion Clasp
1 Contagion Engine
4 Gigantiform
4 Mana Leak
4 Preordain

1 Bojuka Bog
2 Evolving Wilds
8 Forest
7 Island
4 Terramorphic Expanse

I have a sideboard for the deck, but it's really up to you to customize one to your meta. Feel free to make one up.

Until next time, play on.
