  • MTG New Player Guide: How Do Trample And Deathtouch Work, And How Do They Interact?

    By Ryan Easby Mar 11, 2025

    With a game that has as many different mechanics as Magic: The Gathering, there’s a lot of questions as to how certain mechanics actually interact. Sometimes the answers are exactly what you’d expect, some of them are a tad more complicated, and the interaction of the Deathtouch mechanic and the Trample mechanic is one of the latter.

  • Wow, I actually play(ed) this deck?

    I have 2 decks for modern right now, G/B Elves, and Infect. I frickin love infect. And look at how bloody cheap I started it:

     

    DeckMagic OnlineOCTGN2ApprenticeBuy These Cards
    My First Infect Deck
    4 Glistener Elf
    4 Blight Mamba
    4 Ichorclaw Myr
    4 Necropede
    2 Rot Wolf

    2 Rancor
    4 Apostle's Blessing
    4 Groundswell
    4 Mutagenic Growth
    4 Predator's Strike
    4 Vines of Vastwood

    20 Forest

     

    Infect damage only has to get to 10. There are many spells that pump your creatures waaay up into the redzone so that it's a one time swing. Always wait to cast Predator's Strike because then you can maximize damage output.

     

    For anyone wanting to get into magic, this is a fairly decent deck. 1) almost all of the creatures have reminder text. Except for Rancor. Easiest way to remember Trample is if a chicken decides to cross the road and a rhino doesn't like the question, the rhino runs the chicken down, and tramples the chicken under his feet. Seems simple enough, right?

     

    I play a much different list for modern play, but hey, we all have to start somewhere.

     

    again, I'm very happy to help new players get into magic or help players get into modern and EDH. Also with spoilers, I like to evaluate a few cards for prerelease and draft, since that's where I see most of the new players.
