Description of deck by its author (quoted):
 My
mind was now in Extended. One of the most fun mainstream Extended decks
is called Elf-Ball. Elf-Ball loads the board with Elves, including
Priest of Titania, before casting either Coat of Arms or a huge
Fireball-like spell to end the game. It sounds silly, but it is a
surprisingly effective strategy. It also happens to be a strategy that
relies on X-spells and creatures. Wheee!
Unfortunately the idea of rehashing an old deck is
fairly boring to me. Anyone can put an Elf-Ball deck together. It would be
more fun to take the idea behind Elf-Ball and try it with a different
creature type and maybe a different (read: Standard) format. The idea of a
Druid-Ball deck, thanks to Seton, Krosan Protector, made me giggle. Ideas
that make me giggle inevitably end up as decks.
The trick with a deck like this, I found, was finding
enough druids that could stand on their own before Seton or Mirari's Wake
hit the table. The other important decision was what to use as the X-spell
of choice. Ghitu Fire sounded great, but I liked the uncounterable,
unpreventable power of a kicked Urza's Rage... |
