I just started playing magic this year and I decided to join the local shop league. It's a 40 card deck league by starting of with the purchase of 5 boosters from Hour of Destruction and Amonkhet. I have since bought more packs but unsure of what to put together.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to a 40 card deck build using cards from both HoD and Amon? From what I've read, I'm apparently looking for a discard deck or "milling". Any other suggestions are also welcomed.
I look forward to your help, fellow players. Thank you.
I'll ding you first:
Your title should read "Suggest a 40 card Deck (else you should have typed "30" twice in your post). This is probably why no one has responded yet.
The set is Hour of Devastation, not Hour of Destruction.
What you did right:
Spelling and grammar.
Cordial and gracious attitude.
I made it 30, in case that was indeed the number you wanted. The idea of the deck is to mill out your opponents, so the 4x cards are going to be the ones that are vital. The rest of the cards are going to be there to keep you alive. All of your non-milling creatures were picked because of their big butts. The Winder has hexproof so it will be a big hurdle for your opponents to get around and worse comes to worse, you can simply cycle it.
As far as additions from the new set, Ixalan: Fleet Swallower will mill for seven tops in a 30 card deck format, but will be better the more cards they have in their deck. Navigator's Ruin only be useful if you run a full set of Slitherblades. I'd also recommend running multiple copies of Ruin, but I don't think four will be necessary.
