Description of deck by it's author
(quoted):
...The next deck is an update of a fun (and
very straightforward) Beast deck I played circa.
Nineteen-Ninety-Onslaught. Dissension helps out with some of that deck's
weaknesses. Molder Slug and Woodripper kept opposing Artifacts at bay,
but if I wanted to nuke Enchantments, I had to use the lackluster Root
Greevil (who, apparently, is responsible for much of the world's greevil
problem). In the end, I used Naturalizes, but they were an imperfect
solution. They often got in the way of Amplify and they certainly didn't
attack very much. Luckily, Trygon Predator and Indrik Stomphowler
arrived to save the day. The other problem with the deck was that my
Blastoderms, Molder Slugs, and Woodrippers often had a hard-time getting
through my opponent's defenses. Fangren Pathcutter helped a bit, but I
really wanted something a little more reliable. Luckily, Trygon
Predator, Assault Zeppelid, and Helium Squirter hit the scene and gave
the Beast deck that much-needed evasion. The Squirter, in particular,
works well with such counter-laden Beasts as Karstoderm, Clockwork
Vorrac, and the good Amplify Beasts from Legions, Canopy Crawler and
Feral Throwback (sorry, Glowering “Joe” Rogon). Fangren Firstborn turns
all of your attacking creatures into valid targets for some squirting
helium. Plaxmanta is the other Dissension Beast I used, since it gives
the creatures-only deck some quasi-spells and lets you get “clever.”
Other Beasts that could be good in the deck include the
counteriffic Krakilin and the Graft-enabling Hunting Moa.
