Bring on the Beef


This is my first time posting on this site so lets hope it works. (O ignore the last blank post it was an accident sry).
Anyway this was a red/green deck that took me to the finals. Very strong creatures including all stars avatar of might and enormous balothX2
Originally I thought about going mono green with this deck but it wasn't making quite enough playable and I picked up a few good red cards in packs 2 and 3.
Giant growth is obviously great in a deck like this since gang blocking is not unommon with creatures of this size.
However, despite solid creatures and great removal and combat tricks I think the V.I.P. award goes to hurricane. Many people underrate that card IMO. I is not only a great defense again flyers (1-sided WoG FTW!) but it can also be used to force a draw you are losing but both players are low on life. Finally it can be used to burn out your opponent if you have more life than them. With the power level of flyers in 10th (especially the red dragons which are bombtastic) hurricane is a card I would not only be happy maindecking but a certifiable bomb, a great 1st pick IMO.
As far as the actual games I ran over a weak player in round 1 with spined into craw wurm plus lots of removal and accelation (rampant growth + mountain fetching+ spitting earth x3=solid removal and efficent acceleration). Round two my opponent was strong but couldn't deal with the size of my creatures. My favorite play was dropping an avatar of might after he blazed my enormous baloth :). I lost in a close match in finals to a U/B deck packing tons of removal and card advantage. Even so it was close and this deck is a testament to the power of a solid curve ending in a bunch of fatties.

Hey squest, I can't really read your decklist, can you post a larger pic or add the .txt of the list? You can edit the message by clicking on the pencil icon under your message.

Thanks for posting!
