Description of deck by its author (quoted):
It's not a big secret that I'm an unabashed
Forest-tapper. If it has G in the mana cost, I'm all over it like a
Skullclamp on an Arcbound Worker. So it should come as no surprise that
I'm digging a Future Sight card that really rewards you for all those
G's in the top right corner and/or down the left side of your cards. I'm
talking about Phosphorescent Feast, a sort of Jerrard's Wisdom for the
triple-green (yes, that Jerrard). I can't be the only one who, upon
seeing Phosphorescent Feast for the first time, thought, "Boy, that
would really go well with Rushwood Elemental." Just think about it.
That's 2 life for every G, so 10 life for every copy of Rushwood
Elemental in your hand. That's 40 freakin' life! Not a bad cushion. You
know who else likes life gain? Ageless Entity. A 44/44 Entity is nothing
to sneeze at, but your opponent might want to reach for a hanky when you
give it trample with Baru, Fist of Krosa. The hanky's for the sneezing
and the oh-so-inevitable tears. What does this wild trio have in common,
besides being awesome? That's right, they're all 4/4s. This is job for
Wild Pair!
We want to keep everything as green as possible, so I
turned to the Druids, led by Seton, Krosan Protector. Along with Diligent
Farmhand, Werebear (which I just typed as "Werebeard" for some reason,
which would probably still be an awesome creature), and Yavimaya Elder,
Seton allows you to quickly ramp up to Wild Pair mana. Once there, you can
start doubling up on your beefy guys. But that's not all! There are many
sneaky moves you can pull with Wild Pair, but one I haven't heard much
about yet involves creatures with threshold. Werebear, Chlorophant, and
Krosan Beast are all base 1/1's so you can search for them whenever you
play, say, a Diligent Farmhand or even a Dryad Arbor. Once they hit the
table, however, they suddenly transform (as long as you're at threshold,
of course), so you've just given your little 1/1 a 4/4 or an 8/8 friend.
Not a bad deal at all.
