.241 4 Taiga
.273 4 Wall of Swords
.188 6 Plains

.1899 4 Living Wish

Vine Trellis is now the strictly better Overgrown Battlement, but otherwise that deck can still be used.

I use 4 living wishes here too... gotta love it...

when you need more mana, grab gaea's cradle or tolarian academy
when you need an anti-something creature, grab Aladdin for artifact decks, or intrepid hero for big creature deck etc...

Yeah I did the same thing, except I took the more versatile Ring of Ma'ruf. 90% or more of the time you probably want some phat creature anyway, so Living Wish works just as well.

I slightly prefer Eladamri's Call because its instant speed makes it a bit better in the early game. Overall Living Wish or Ring is better though.

I completely forgot about living wish, that would have made the challenge much easier... As is I beat it with this list:

Thanks to the battlement, it is not hard to drop a turn 4-5 Emrakul...

I think my challenge is bugged. I used Salbei's decklist, and I keep getting autolose. Did that happen to anyone?

I realized the problem: the game isn't accepting any cards other than lands or defenders. How do I report a bug?

Here is the thread on how to report bug :

Yea I agree that the challenge is bugged, at least in the latest version of Manalink. I always autolose too.

I can't get this challenge to work even without wild cards I still get auto loose every time, I played it once before the update, but I installed three updates in a row so I have no idea what went wrong. Is there a solution for this? Thanks

Post your decklist. Maybe there's something illegal in it and you don't realize it. Just as a hypothetical example, Magus of the Moat, while a 0/3 creature, is not actually a defender, even though its own ability means it can't attack unless it gains flying.

Lets see, this is what I want to use:

4 Cathedral Membrane (Wall) (Defender)
4 Wall of Omens (Wall) (Defender)
4 Wall of Reverence (Spirit Wall) (Defender)
4 Sunweb (Wall) (No Defender)
4 Carven Caryatid (Spirit) (Defender)
4 O. Battlement (Wall) (Defender)
4 Wall of Blossoms (Plant Wall) (No Defender)
4 Plumeveil (Elemental) (Defender)
[WILD CARDS]
1 Emarkul
1 Blightsteel Colossus
1 Phyrexian Processor
1 Ring of Ma'ruf

10 Forest
10 Plains
4 Savannah

Since the description for the challenge says "You may only use creatures with Defender" I thought maybe Sunweb and Wall of Blossoms may be causing it but even even when I changed them for Timber Wall and Alabaster Wall (both Walls with defender) I still get auto loose.
I just tried removing Carven Caryatid and Plumeveil since they are not walls, and it went through, which should be a bug since both of them have defender. If you instruct me on how, I can report that as a bug.

Remove Carven Caryatid : it's not flagged as "Wall" actually and so the challenge rejectes it.
