    Fellow Zoo people, this is my deck. at the moment I like the setup, but sometimes I miss land or it is clunky. is this good. I own 1 arid mesa

    1x Arid Mesa
    1x Bloodstained Mire
    1x Forest
    2x Mountain
    2x Mountain
    1x Plains
    3x Sacred Foundry
    3x Stomping Ground
    1x Temple Garden
    4x Windswept Heath
    4x Wooded Foothills

    Creature (23)

    1x Birds of Paradise
    4x Goblin Guide
    3x Loxodon Smiter
    3x Scavenging Ooze
    4x Tarmogoyf
    4x Vexing Devil
    4x Wild Nacatl

    Instant (16)

    2x Boros Charm
    2x Collected Company
    2x Dromoka's Command
    4x Lightning Bolt
    3x Lightning Helix
    3x Path to Exile




    From what I can see, this deck is pulling in 2 different directions and that's probably why it sometimes feels clunky. 13 1-drops (of which 4 are kinda burn spells) and only 4 3-drops is bad with CoCo I think, and the overall creature count is a little bit below the accepted number in CoCo lists, which is 25 with 3 company. On the other hand, 23 lands and CoCo itself is kinda bad if you want a more low to the ground aggro deck, which wants less lands and no 4 mana spells in my opinion.

    If possible, I'd try to decide between the 2 versions, because making them work in a hybrid loses the advantages of one or the other without really covering up their weaknesses like one would hope (or at least, this is what I found out trying similar hybrid lists while budgeting out my zoo, and the difference in power level from lacking CoCo or in speed from lacking the Guides and Eidolons of burn/zoo is heavily felt).



    I probably will drop 2x vexing devils, 2x goblin guides, 1x helix and the boros. add more creatures and a coco. are you saying i should drop some land. what is a good land base. probably will add 1x more Loxodon smiter for a playset

    Auto correct is a bi%$@

    What are some cards you splash to make the deck you're own?



    Hmmm.


    Yeah, I think I thought O Stone cost 4 to cast, rather than 3. I'll replace 1 spellskite with a steel sabotage and 1 phantasmal image with a harbinger of the tides.



    love the skaab

    ok, this was my casual fun deck forever, we got together with 9 friends last night and ran a tourney. i went to final round, till I met a waste not/rack deck with zombies. It was to "controly" for me to get around. So not sure if I can link my deck over like this. if not, Idk how to format it on here. I got back and forth with leatherback and E witness. I just lover the power and devotion kick of the Leatherback though. I often Lots of Win cons, genesis, T%N Xenogas and Emrakul or run em over with Prime time and wolf run. I feel this deck may viable and could be good after reading all these pages

    Now that I think about it is not a bad idea. However I think it might work as a much more reactive plan against quick overwhelming decks.



    yes

I get we need mutivault to double as a swamp but wont you run into doubles if you hit 4 and can only play 1 if it legendary. I cant wait to play this deck.

    so still after learning a bit, still off and needing help. This will be standard till this format rolls out, i will mod as necessary and make it a modern deck. mainly black with splash of green. I am working around with squelching leech and nightmare, using 3x tomb of yawgmoth(sp?) Also possbily using explosive vegetation to bring green out and convert. At the moment I have

    4x squelching leech
    3x Nightmare
    4x nighthowler
    3x heros downfall
    4x typhoid rats
    3x Tomb of yawgmoth

    thinking murderous cut? death drop. explosive vegitation to pull green lands and turn to swamps?? what are some good small mana creatures green or black. of course i wanna focus on creatures in graveyard and swamp on field. so focusing around nighthowler and Nightmare. this not really a budget deck, dont want 200 in though. any help is appreciated
