Thanks, I'm not sure if I should try and run the sideboard main deck or not. Is {Thrun the Last Troll} common, two of my friends owned me with him so I put {phantasmal image} in the side board. But I could run some main instead of all the counterparts. But then would that make { Delver of Secrets} less reliable?  Idk, any help with what is probable to come up at a Friday Night Magic would be helpful. Thanks again! :)

The silver bullet to Thrun is {Tribute to Hunger}.

Grexis

Well He/she would have to remove  their opponent's other creatures if they have any for the tribute to work on thrun

Still, I'd say it's worth it. You have lots of other removal.

MacUser001

I don't know about having lots of removal. I'd say you're on track with the Image.

The tribute sounds cool, but I don't think I could splash it to easy, any ideas in how to fit it in, what could I take out for it/ add more black and run true BUG? FYI, I'm a he.

Just bump up the dual lands. Thrun's only a problem in the wolf-run decks.

I think {phantasmal image} works better with my flying bugmen + human/werewolf lords swarm win condition better, I might through in {civilized schoolar} for infante drawing, might replace my singelton vapor snag.

The Image is good too.

Dude, this deck literally has like 5 win conditions that arnt win conditions. I would add in titans and wurmcoil, and plus get more garruks for alternate win

EvenDeathMayDie

What are the (not) conditions? What titans would you suggest? I was thinking if I could find a {consecrated sphinx} that it would be fun, but idk. I only planed on playing one building up win condition with the {Delver of secrets} transforming on turn two or threeand being joined by a mayor or two soon enough, then adding counterparts where I see fit. It's s little slow, but that's why I'm always after turn one going to leave some mana open to stop them from destroying me. I would love to run titans, but I only have two frosts :( and haven't the funding to get more :( . College life is poor life.

I would remove the cackling counterparts completely, you do not have enough creatures to make it work (well). I would suggest consencrated sphinx too, but also primeval Titan, thrun the last troll, wurmcoil engine, and snapcaster mages.

You just recommended nearly $100 worth of cards to someone who said they had no money. 😜
