Deathstrike

[loop-s-pool]

Anybody think green sun's zeniths might work?  I'm on star city about to buy this deck.

I wouldn't do it. There isn't a whole lot of ramp opportunities in this deck and it's a bit of a pricey card.

[Nobbert]

Thanks for the advice. I'm thinking f ways to try and speed up my creatures. I often play decks with a playset of birds and llanowar elves

[loop-s-pool]

******updated. Whaddya think?

It looks really strong. A cool deck built around two mechanics that I love. Oh and by the way {Overrun} is an excellent choice because you only need to deal 1 damage to take the creature down, then the other 3+ hits the face.

[Wally]

Yeah I highly recomend looking for the trample deathtouch combo, with first strike they will try to never block as they won't even get a hit in.

If you or anyone can think of more instants or sorcery cards that add trample that would be great.
Possibly also look the other way at using creatures with trample and giving them death touch.
For example: {Garruk's companion} and {basilisk collar}

Edit: again not standard combo (sorry) lol

[Karrthus]

One simple common that goes great with death touch, {Prey Upon}.

Okay, I need help real quick.  One- how to transform Garruk. Two- how to deal with hexproof

[loop-s-pool]

How do you transform him? Is that what youre asking?

Hexproof? You're going to have to either make them sac with cards like {Tribute to Hunger} or use a global effect like {Black Sun's Zenith}.

[Nobbert]

Yeah that's my question. Most people transform him with like, a shock or something similar. But most creatures he can deal 3 damage to would kill it before it could deal damage back right? 

[Wally]

You will possibly want to use it to pick off a little cheapie that you know can't be boosted in p/t. Obviously a 1/1 is a good target.
It drops him to 2, then you transform

[Nobbert]

But if I have him attack a 1/1, won't his 3 damage kill the 1/1 before it can damage him?

[loop-s-pool]

I thought it worked the way Wally is saying, but the way you said it, makes sense too. I think after the ability resolves, then everything happens. We're just so used to pretty much everything being instantaneous like {Shock} for example.

[Greg54js]

His ability works like {prey upon} they both deal damage pretty much instantaneously

[Wally]

His ability works like {prey upon} they both deal damage pretty much instantaneously

{Garruk Relentless}

I'm about to drop $100 fr this deck at star city. My question is- do you guys thin I should. Would it be worth it?  I really just want something I can call my ow that will win a few games. I've already put in a lot of money in the past few months to no avail. Two booster boxes and a huge amount of playlets from eBay. Bottom line- worth it or no?
