Description of deck by it's author
(quoted):
Just in case you've been living under a rock
for the last couple weeks, I'm here to tell you that that must have been
very uncomfortable. Also, Time Spiral has a bit of a nostalgia theme.
Ah, nostalgia! I remember the days when nostalgia actually meant
something. Back before 6th Edition rules and the new card-face. Back
then, Green had a number of cards that loved the upkeep. Some of them
almost married it. Rushwood Elemental and Chlorophant will get double
the +1/+1 counters as long as you have double the upkeeps. Or maybe,
like me, you prefer another kind of upkeep-based counter-generation. I'm
talking about those Spore-counter-loving Green meanies, the Thallids!
To be perfectly honest, I didn't like Thallids very much
at first. So, you're saying that they're Fungi? Oh no! Hide the cheese!
How intimidating can a Fungus be? Seriously, I scraped some off a loaf of
bread this morning without a second thought and not much of a struggle.
The other downside was that, as a group, they seemed extraordinarily slow.
One counter a turn? Yawn. Wake me when you get a Saproling token.
Then something strange happened: they kinda started to
grow on me. I think it was the Paradox Haze. As for the deck, Ravnica's
Doubling Season already gave Fungus-enthusiasts a real boost. Your Thallid
will not only generate twice the normal amount of counters, but when it
comes time to remove them, you'll get double the Saproling tokens. Add
Paradox Haze to the mix, and the counters accumulate even faster. Followed
Footsteps, meanwhile, works well with both Doubling Season and Paradox
Haze, creating twice as many copies twice as many times.
I have heard a rumour that this deck might be up for
some serious revisions once all of Time Spiral has been revealed. A little
birdie told me that. The Orb of Insight corroborated the little birdie's
story. |
