So far in my time in Magic I've played very little casual - I mainly play limited (drafting the current set, or sealed), Standard, or Modern. However, I've got a group of friends who like a casual game now and then. One of them has nearly 50 casual decks built (most of them 80 or 100 cards), so most of the time we just pass those out and have some fun, but I thought I'd put together a deck myself so I could play my own deck for a change. I've been thinking about what sort of deck I'd like to build, and thought I'd start off with a simple G/W Humans build. Here's my initial list:
It's actually Modern legal written up like that, but I doubt it'd be competitive in that format. Doesn't matter though, the object here is to have a bit of fun! There are a number of creatures that could be included, such as Tireless Tracker, which I imagine would be great - I just don't own any, and am rather poor at the moment because I'm between jobs (hopefully that'll be fixed soon). Anyway, anyone have any thoughts? Are there any obvious omissions I should consider? Is Avacyn's Pilgrim a bit pointless in this deck? I feel like maybe I should put Town Gossipmonger in there instead . . . or are there better options? Would Abzan Falconer be hilarious? Is 21 land too many? Should I be running some removal / interaction? Happy to discuss these points.
Before we get to that, some background: 1. This is casual, where only one of the players really knows what he's doing - the others aren't serious and just want to have some fun, so . . . 2. This deck doesn't need to be super competitive - if I want that, I'll go play Modern or Standard. It just has to be fun. 3. We mostly play 4 players, sometimes 3, sometimes just 2.
Unfortunately every try hard from Sacramento to Shanghai preaches from the top of their 27 lands + Mana Reflection that Tooth and Nail and Time Stretch are fine to play in the same turn but Armageddon is unfair.

Otherwise, GO!
