Green Weenie

[mtgrares]

This is a green weenie deck. And yes I do know that usually it is supposed to be “white weenie” but downsizing big green creatures into small efficient ones was fun. The idea is to attack, attack, attack. You don’t mind trading creatures since you want to win early, you can also your dead creatures back with Eternal Witness. Giant Growth is your only “removal” and should be used to destroy a big blocker or to win the game. The deck tops out at 5 mana and Giant Dustwap is your big finisher, 3/3 flying. Garruk is a great 4 drop because he can create multiple creatures and usually the computer attacks him, thus giving you another turn just like Fog.

99% of the time I use generated decks, but creating and using this deck is really fun. I really must add virtual tournaments in the future.

Changes and additions
Ashcoat Bear is very generic and his flash ability is pretty worthless, maybe Wild Mongrel would be better since he can be pumped up with an extra card or two. Blinkmoth Nexus is a fun “attacking land” that has evasion, Mishra’s Factory would serve the same purpose. And I’m sure that there are a million ways to build a green weenie deck, but this is what I came up with and it seems pretty good and fun to use Magic is supposed to be fun some of the time at least, lol.

p.s. I just made a 40 card deck because it was easier. I’m not a good deck builder.

Another generic colored attacker that would go great in a deck like this (better than blinkmoth) is Mishra's Factory if it has its proper abilities. Since Blinkmoth has it why doesn't factory?

I hope that you don't mind if I modify your theme and make this a 60 card tournament legal deck. I will include white to add Watchwolf. A 3/3 creature for a cost of W G. Awesome. Let's add in a third color, blue. Gaea's Skyfolk is a flying 2/2 creature for a cost of U G.

Add in Ancestral Recall, Timetwister, and 2 Harmonize. Eternal Witness now has even more cards to choose from.

The Dryad Arbor with your Blinkmoth Nexus is interesting. Gain mana early and have extra creatures to attack with later in the game.

The Birds of Paradise also gives you mana early in the game and with Gaea's Anthem and Garruk Wildspeaker becomes additional attackers.

During play testing I got out a Force of Savagery with a Gaea's Anthem and a Garruk Wildspeaker in play. I'm glad that the computer doesn't get upset when facing these types of card combos.
