First of all I have to say that this idea comes not from me. I found an article while searching around in the internet for a new deck idea. I like to play decks which not many people know, because it's always kinda cool when you see your opponents face when your deck concept works fine. But more than that I like Life from the Loam. I always wanted to play a deck around that card, so here's the list:
4c Intuition Loam
4 Shriekmaw
4 Tarmogoyf
2 Terravore
1 Augur of Skulls
1 Eternal Witness
1 Viridian Zealot
1 Genesis
4 Brainstorm
4 Intuition
3 Life from the Loam
4 Swords to Plowshares
1 Tormod’s Crypt
1 Engineered Explosives
1 Maze of Ith
4 Windswept Heath
4 Polluted Delta
2 Tropical Island
1 Tundra
2 Bayou
1 Savannah
1 Forest
1 Swamp
4 Mox Diamond
1 Academy Ruins
1 Volrath’s Stronghold
4 Tranquil Thicket
2 Wasteland
[No real Sb existing yet]
The article, where I found the decklist is written in very good style and can be seen as a primer, also the cards are explained well. Right in the arcticle, there's a Sb suggestion from the author, but I'm not convinced from his idea.
For referece, here's the link to the article: http://www.magiceternal.com/intuition-loam.html
The Weakness of any Loam deck has always been the Combo matchup. The Sb suggested in the article is stricly an anti-combo Sb, but I was thinking about a Sb which is not only strictly against combo. I'd like to have a Sb with against both, Combo and other stuff. I looked at the colours and suddenly Gaddoock Teeg and Meddling Mage came to my mind...What do you think?
Alright, I haven't done any testing with it yet, but the article was very promising and i'll will work on that idea.
