1.1 BACKGROUND & HISTORY:
This is just an idea that I recently started playing. I usually play multiplayer commander, but have decided that it's a great idea to have a competitive duel deck together, in case some of the side events that I go to host a duel event.
1.2 BACKGROUND STORY OF KROSAN, SETON PROTECTOR
Seton was a Centaur druid from the Krosan forest. He was also a talented warrior and so was sent to Cabal City by Thriss to investigate the source of the magical disturbances centred there. In his pit-fights he relied primarily on the natural strength and speed of his race to overpower his opponents, although his druidic training meant that he was also a capable green magic-user. Whilst he could appear savage and wild in combat, he also had a wise and contemplative side to his personality that earned him the respect of many of his fellow fighters. His personal philosophy for the pits was that they embodied the system of survival of the fittest and that therefore if he lost, it was simply part of the natural cycle.
He first met the barbarian warrior Kamahl in a pit-fight, where the two became good friends after they teamed up to defeat a powerful dementia creature and Kamahl saved the centaur's life. When Kamahl left pit-fighting behind to pursue the Mirari, Seton aided him, knowing it was the source of the disturbance he had been sent to investigate. the pair tracked its bearer, Lieutenant Kirtar, to Krosa, where the aven commander was insanely attacking the forest. There, Seton and Kamahl also encountered ambassador Laquatus' bodyguard, Turg, who attacked them. Seton wrestled with the anurid warrior and almost bested him, but Turg intentionally vomited in Seton's face, nearly blinding the centaur with his acidic bile. As a result, Seton had to stay in Krosa to recover while Kamahl continued to track the Mirari.
Much later, Seton would cross Kamahl's path again after the barbarian, in a fit of Mirari-induced rage, near-lethally stabbed his sister Jeska. While Kamahl journeyed to the center of Krosa in order to gain control of himself and get rid of the Mirari, he left his sister in Seton's care, where the centaur used his druidic knowledge to try to heal her. However, when Kamahl returned to the centaur's home he found that Seton had been murdered and Jeska abducted by the Cabal forces that had pursued him led by Braids.
1.3 WHY SHOULD YOU/OR SHOULDN'T YOU PLAY "DRUIDS!":
WHY SHOULD YOU?
- If you enjoy a fast paced aggro deck that vaguely feels like a combo deck
- If you enjoy tribal themed decks
- If you enjoy turning your creatures sideways
WHY SHOULDN'T YOU?
- If you're not all that into aggro strategies
- If you prefer combo or control decks
1.4 STRATEGY:
The general idea of this deck is to play as many creatures as you can, as fast as you can, then tutor for a Craterhoof Behemoth or Kamahl, Fist of Krosa and win by Overruning your opponent.
1.5 KEY INTERACTIONS
Aluren + Glimpse of Nature: Allows you to draw most of your deck with the current creature base.
Aluren + Seton, Krosan Protector: It doesn't matter how many times they kill him, you can still play him for free at instant speed! (please correct me if this is wrong... lol)
Aluren + Weird Harvest: Flood your board with guys!
Candelabra of Tawnos + Gaea's Cradle/Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx: Generates massive amounts of mana!
This is only the beginning to this post, and I promise more information in the future! I am looking to improve this deck, but can only do that with your help. Thanks for reading!
Malachite Talisman is very strong with the permanents that tap for a ton of mana. It is my favorite card in mono green deck that produces a lot of mana
DRUIDS!

Malachite Talisman is very strong with the permanents that tap for a ton of mana. It is my favorite card in mono green deck that produces a lot of mana
Masticore You are generating a ton of mana, you can wipe the opponents board or combo with Kamahl, Fist of Krosa to destroy lands
Citanul Flute Druid draw, also a good untap target with Malachite Talisman
Winter Orb
UBRKess, Dissident MageUBR - Controlling Dissidents
