I just wanted to use the Dryad for mana any way (it's got summoning sickness you see. ;))

I attacked with the Vorapede before I ended my turn. Do you want to step back and block?
Oh sorry. After I saw "your response" I skipped the rest somehow.
Block him with recluse and take 3.
Everything else will be the same.
Okay. After my Vorapede comes back from undying ill re-equip the boots before passing.
On you turn, I'll block both of your guys, then cast {Primal Bellow} on dryad, tappin the dryad for mana. Dryad 7/7.

Swing with the slime and 'pede for 8.
8/2
Okay. Rootbound crag is gone.
I guess I'll take the 8 and go to 9. I hate your boots btw.
After combat I'll move them back to the 'pede an say go.
How they're not banned, I don't know.
Untap.
Draw.
Play mountain.
Tap two forests three mountains for {zealous conscripts}.

All yours.
I wish they were banned, at least for this game lol. Woulda grabbed your vorpede with conscripts last turn.
😝
Another stupid question from someone not well versed in the rules.. You can't put the equip ability on the stack targeting slime and cause my ability to do nothing?
I'll swing with your slime for 2.
Pass turn.
9/1
Fair question. Equip is sorcery speed, so I can't do it in response. I'll take the 2.
6/2
If I could do it as an instant, then yes I coul have countered the steal
Ah that makes sense. I guess they're not as overpowered as I thought. Still don't like them.. Lol
Untap upkeep draw.
Play a forest.
Cast {Eternal Witness} returning {Primal Bellow} from my gy to hand.
Swing with Vorapede and 'Cid. Cast Bellow on slimer. He's 10/10.
I'll tap a Sap to gain a life

Acidic slime
'Cid = Acidic Slime = Slimer (sorry. :))
I have 8 forests.
You can tell I like a card by how many nicknames I give it.
Okay. I guess I'm blocking slime with borderland ranger and taking 6 to go to 3. If that works.
And why wouldn't you have switched the boots to slime and casts bellows on the guy with trample? Wouldn't that have been lethal? Not criticizing, just trying to learn.
That a go, btw. Not sure if it was implied or not.
What lands do you have untapped?
Nothing. I tapped all 5 for conscripts.
Oh. I though you might've still had tricks, so I played it safe with my Vorapede. I had thought about it, but I also forgot about the ranger. I though I'd be taking out your last guy.
Anywho.
I don't think it makes a difference now lol.
I drew {wracked with madness}.
I can't use it to kill your vorapede because of the boots
My other card's searing spear which isn't enough
Conscripts wouldn't do any good attacking but can't block enough to save me
I believe you win.
Good game and damn those boots.
Damn the boots indeed. 😁
GG I was afeared for a bit there when you came a swinging early with the giests.
Haha I had conscripts in my hand the whole time and was excited to use it for the win. And then your two mana card shut down my whole deck. Thank god those aren't standard legal. They didn't reprint them, right!?
Should have thunderous wrathed the vorapede when it came back
That was when I still believed the boots were instant speed lol. Figured it would be a waste.
No no, not in any new formats. They did reprint them in all of the Commander decks, and some other precons. They're really OP, but they "fixed" them with {Swiftfoot Boots}. The problem is the {0} equip cost, effectively giving all your guys haste.
Ah, the boots. One of the first cards I added to my first deck: vampire onslaught event deck. I wuv teh bootz.
Now someone just has to make a cat deck with them ;)
{Leonin Shikari}
My group HATED that deck. >:D
Man, Puss 'n Boots! I wish I had thought of that back in the day. But, there wouldn't be a movie for a long time. Good call CV.
Yeah having to pay makes them fair. I'm still working on my sideboard though and after this I guess I'll be adding a couple {smelt}. Quick question about my deck if you don't mind. Do you think I'd be better off with two {vexing devil} in place of my two {thunderous wrath}. I think the vexing devils would mostly be burn anyways and aren't as versatile as wrath allowing me to take out a creature. But I'd much rather have a devil in my starting hand than a wrath. Can't decide lol
Decklist?
Why you post in casual?
One sec. Can't figure out how to share it so I'll just copy/paste. There were 6 substitute cards I used because I'm still waiting for the rest to come in the mail, hopefully tomorrow. Substitutes were 2 deadly recluse for 2 elvish visionary, 2 borderland ranger for 1 arbor elf and 1 garruk primal hunter, and 2 thunderous wrath for the vexing devils. List coming pronto
Land (22)
2 {Evolving Wilds}
4 {Rootbound Crag}
9 {Forest}
7 {Mountain}
Creatures (20)
4 {Arbor Elf}
2 {Strangleroot Geist}
4 {Elvish Visionary}
2 {Wolfir Avenger}
2 {Primordial Hydra}
2 {Wolfir Silverheart}
2 {Vexing Devil}
2 {Zealous Conscript}
Spells (16)
2 {Rancor}
2 {Ranger's Path}
2 {Increasing Savagery}
4 {Searing Spear}
2 {Increasing Vengeance}
2 {Wrack with Madness}
2 {Fling}
Planeswalkers (2)
1 {Chandra, the Firebrand}
1 {Garruk, Primal Hunter}
Hmmm, well, given that your dualies are gonna play tapped T1, and youve got other good early plays, you're not running a ton of {R}, I'd say this deck would rather have the wrath to seal late-game. especially with your {Increasing Vengeance}. 10 damage for {R}{R}{R} will end things.
Good points. Thanks for the help. Now I can save myself the 10 bucks lol. I went to three stores looking for the devils today and they were no where to be found
BJ the boots have an equip cost of 1.

He sai he was using boots I thought.
He was just calling the greaves boots lol
I guess I shouldn't be too conversational, considering you can't see my cards. Don't want to cause confusion. 🙇
