Deathstrike Revised 73 cards, 13 sideboard 4 {Woodland Cemetery} 13 {Forest} 5 {Swamp} 22 lands 3 {Acidic Slime} 3 {Kessig Recluse} 4 {Ambush Viper} 4 {Typhoid Rats} 2 {Glissa, the Traitor} 16 creatures 3 {Garruk Relentless} 4 {Bladed Pinions} 4 {Viridian Claw} 3 {Lure} 2 {Naturalize} 3 {Overrun} 3 {Fog} 22 other spells Sideboard 3 {Phyrexian Revoker} 3 {Birds of Paradise} 3 {Autumn's Veil} 2 {Beast Within} 2 {Bonehoard} 13 sideboard cards

Here's the revised version of my deck. The way it usually worked us that I don't attack and my opponent doesn't either in fear I losing creatures. When I get enough creatures on the field, I'll throw down an {overrun} for a good amount of damage and swing with everything. I that doesn't win the game, they'll swing with everything on their turn while my creatures are tapped. I'll throw down a {fog}, and after that it is game over.

Did I ever say on a thread somewhere that I love original home brewed decks? Well, this is a prime example of that! This deck is definately the best I've seen in a while!

Thank you thank you.  I got the whole idea just from Glissa and kind of built a deck around that. It works really well, and nobody expects a green deck to be a troll deck so it catches them off guard. The forum helped me give it focus, and
last FNM really solidified it. I'll always be a fan of home brew over deck lists found on star city. My meta is all over the same Grixis control or Sword Mana Ramp.

Wow, I usually have to play a lot of wolf run ramp, delver decks, humans, and control!

Let me tell you, there is no better feeling than taking out a 14/14 wolf run-ramped Primeval Titan with a Typhoid Rats.

Wow......that's awesome! Which brings me to my favorite part if how this deck looks! The interaction of deathtouch, and {overrun}!

Cool deck!

The first strike make it so that they take only 1 damage and then are killed. Therefore the +3 from overrun is all trampled over

{Deadly allure} and {prey upon}!!!

{Deadly allure} and {prey upon}!!!

All of my creatures already have deathtouch do deadly allure is kind of a moot card. And with {lure}, I can take out far more creatures than with prey upon.

First, you should take out Garruk. He's not that good bcause he's so vulnerable to burn. Second, put in more Glisa's and some {Grave Titan}s they will absolutely wreck the field for your opponent, trust me. And third, you should put in something like {Ratchet Bomb} or some other sacrificial artifact that you can bring back with Glisa. Also put {Surgical Extraction} in your sideboard instead of {Birds of Paradise} seeing how many of their creatures you get in the graveyard.

I think Garruk is wonderful actually. He helps be get more creatures on the field, which is vital for the overrun strategy.  Especially when they have deathtouch.  Grave titans suck up a lot of mana, and ratchet bombs don't fit into what I'm trying to accomplish.  I use glissa's ability to get back my first strike artifiacts, other than that she's really just there for the 3/3 deathtouch/first strike.  I appreciate the advice but I don't want to stretch my deck too thin. I like to keep it focused.

I dot actually get many of their creatures in the graveyard until the end of the game because nobody really wants to swing knowing that they'll lose their creature and do no damage to me.
