This is likely going to be the oddest deck concept that I've come up with. I am beginning to mull around the idea of creating a Stangg deck. Now that may seem odd to begin with, but I'm not done yet. This guy has some sentimental memories associated with him from when I played more competitively: up until the original Mirodin block. Because of this, I want 80%-90% of this deck to use cards in the old card frame. This excludes everything from 8th/Mirodin forward except for a total of ~15 cards.
I know, right?
Now, on top of that, I'd like to have a deck with a Birthing Pod chain to give more flexibility/versatility and make the deck more interesting. It's just something that I've wanted to do (now that my Sunforger deck is nearing completion).
So this is my challenge: G/ deck with Stangg, using 80-90% classic-framed cards, also featuring Birthing Pod.
This necessitates that I have creatures (preferably with ETB or "dies" effects) through all of the chain going from cmc 1 through my top end. Let's try to make this as strong as possible within the restrictions set. So far, this is what I have picked out:
Clearly there are some good cards in here, as well as some not-so-good cards. Not all of these are things I would have in the final deck, but I was just throwing things onto paper.
If you would all be so nice, I'm trying to find more (stronger) cards to fill in the pod chain better, and fill out the deck better. What does the community have on the subject?
Thanks for looking.
