Hey guys, I've been playing a deck similar to some of the lists I've seen in this thread, except I haven't been using cycling creature to fill up my graveyard. Here's what I'm running now:
The deck is an absolute blast to play, but it has some of the same problems I've read in this thread. Its difficult to interact with my opponent's board, and its hard to protect my own beaters. I like how DrWorm uses Kira, Great Glass-Spinner.
For casual decks, I love the refuge lands from Zendikar. Most of the lands are .25 to .50 each. They come into play tapped, but for casual decks, its a solid card cycle.
My playgroup is mostly 4-6 player multi-player games, so we tend not to ban specific decks or cards. If a person plays a degenerate deck, the rest of the table tends to gang up on them so its not an issue.
We also fully support grudges. We had a person in our playgroup play Global Ruin the turn before he was knocked out of the game because he was losing. Everybody else at the table ganged up on him and knocked him out of the every other game that night first.
Hi all. I was in a casual game the other day with my friend when an issue came up.
On my board I had a Seeker of Skybreak and a Llanowar Elf. During my first main phase I tapped my Llanowar Elf for mana, untapped him with Seeker, and re-tapped him for a second mana. My opponent said I couldn't retap the Llanowar elf in a single main phase.
Who was right?
