Description of deck by it's author
(quoted):
Evan once challenged me to build a deck around
Life and Limb. I think I did pretty solidly. Before Lorwyn was printed.
Life and Limb made your Mistform Ultimus a Forest in addition to a
creature, but it was a minor ability.
Lorwyn brings changelings. A changeling in play is
also a Forest. That means your Avian Changeling is a 2/2 flyer and a
Forest as well. This is pretty cool, right? Well, actually, your Avian
Changeling is a 1/1 flyer and a Forest with Life and Limb out. Life and
Limb makes the creature a 1/1. Isn't there probably a deck somewhere
that likes this? I'm sure that your Life and Limb will enjoy being with
Woodland Changeling at least. There might be a combo deck with Mirror
Entity.
This idea will also work with cards like Timber
Protector. Make your creatures 1/1 Saproling Forests and Timber
Protector will make them indestructible. See Time Shifted Verdeloth the
Ancient for more Forest/Saprolings that are indestructible and that
pumps all of your treefolk (like the Protector) and Saprolings. Plus,
the Protector will make Verdeloth indestructible. Sprout Swarm would be
good in this deck. There is some potential here for yet another deck
that abuses Timber Protector. It's a solid card.
I am using the Treefolk base (Harbinger, Rootgrapple,
Lignify, Protector) but this time I have a Verdeloth I can fetch. Night
Soil makes the Saprolings, as does the Treefolk legend and Sprout Swarm.
This will make a lot of Forests with Life and Limb out.
This deck is all Standard post-rotation. Thought you
might enjoy that. I have no idea how this would do in a FNM, but it is
an interesting build with potential for the Kitchen Table. In
multiplayer, if you want to win with your guys, you need a bunch. Life
and Limb + Sprout Swarm + Verdeloth will give you a bunch, and
indestructibility is even better. Remember that Life and Limb will only
drop the Saproling power and toughness to 1/1, not your non-Saproling
treefolk, so you can still have the big guys leading the team.
