Title: Selesnya butts assault mode DTK
Post by: Crossed on March 16, 2015, 01:02:06 AM
60 cards total
24 creatures
13 other spells
23 land

4 {sylvan caryatid}
4 {Nyx-fleece ram}
4 {courser of kruphix}
2 {hornet nest}
3 {guardians of melotis}
4 {lagonna-band trailblazer}
3 {genesis hydra}

2 {elspeth, sun's champion}
4 {assault formation}
2 {commune with the gods}
2 {Gods willing}
2 {banishing light}
1 {valorous stance}

4 {windswept Heath}
4 {temple of plenty}
1 {blossoming sands}
9 {forest}
5 {plains}

I thought this would be fun to play around with. It's not going to be tier one, but I saw assault formation and built around it as a win con. Commune with the gods and genesis hydra make it possible to get to and 24 creatures with big butts at cheap costs make this look really fun to play. Elspeth, sun's champion is also cool because it can wipe the board of anything bigger than your butts.

If you're gonna butt it up, why not butt fight? {Grim Contest}?

Because it's not worth splashing black for?

Agreed, there's no need to splash black. But my creatures can fight just fine with {dromoka's command} at instant speed anyhow.

Keep in mind Dromokas command will still fight your creatures using their power

 I might try the black splash. {Grim contest} and {disowned ancestor} are pretty solid

Plus everything you've got survives {Drown in Sorrow}. Sounds good.

There is also a UG build I considered with {Wall of frost} and {triton tactics} and counter spells, but white had the necessary removal that decks typically want

Three mana is too many IMO.
