Re: [Deck] Paul Wall Aggro
What about Shield Sphere? It'll be a 6/6 for 0. That's pretty good no matter how you slice it, and the drawback isn't that bad, just in case you need to block with it for a bit.
Re: [Deck] Paul Wall Aggro
This deck is already cool.
A wall deck? That's freaking awesome!
Question though, have you thought about using other wall-related stuff like the Glyphs?
Have you thought about using red instead of one of the other colors? It has a 0/8 wall for 3 mana. Also, maybe you should use a bunch of snow-covered lands and run Drift of the Dead. Steel Wall is also another wall you might consider.
Re: [Deck] Paul Wall Aggro
Wall of Stone is not playable in the same deck as Doran the Siege Tower. :1::r::r: and :b::g::w: don't mix. Wall of Ice is the correct choice.
I think you need more walls, to slow the deck down, and to run an alternate kill if someone stops Doran, like Mirror Entity.
Re: [Deck] Paul Wall Aggro
I've thought about other walls such as Living Wall which basically is a 6/6 for 4 mana with regenerating for 1. That ain't too shabby especially with Ancient Tombs. I bet there are a million walls that I overlooked while building this deck. Keep the ideas coming guys. Discussion leads to innovation. :wink:
Re: [Deck] Paul Wall Aggro
So here is the build I came up with:
4 Doran, The Seige Tower
4 Shield Wall
4 Steel Wall
4 Wall of Junk
4 Wall of Blossoms
3 Wall of Roots
4 Rolling Stones
4 Duress
4 Thoughtseize
2 Tainted Pact
1 Animate Wall
4 Bayou
4 Scrubland
4 Savannah
4 Wooded Foothills
4 Windswept Heath
2 Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth
I think useing the artifact walls makes a lot more sense. They will all be huge compaired to there mana cost. For those of you that don't know the walls Listed here ya go:
Shield Wall :0: 0/6
Steel Wall :1: 0/4
Wall of Junk :2: 0/7
Wall of Blossoms :1::g: 0/4
Wall of Roots :1::g: 0/5
The walls are all cheap and so I think this build will be a lot faster.

I can't find a card on gatherer named mirror entity. Is this like some crappy Anaba Grunt joke?
Re: [Deck] Paul Wall Aggro
here's a quick list I threw together:
4 Doran
4 Wall of Blossoms
4 Wall of Souls
4 Shield Sphere
2 Wall of Shards
4 Wall of Junk
4 Steel Wall
4 Swords to Plowshares
4 Duress
4 Rolling Stones
1 Swamp
1 Forest
1 Plains
4 Savannah
3 Bayou
4 Scrubland
3 Windswept Heath
3 Wooded Foothills
2 Polluted Delta
---
Blossoms is a total auto-include, and Souls is a nice idea. Other than that, I took more of a turbo method - Shield Sphere becomes a 6/6 for 0, Wall of Junk becomes useable, and the drawback to Wall of Shards is pretty negligible.
The slots that gave me trouble were the 4 swords and 4 duress spots - I think Swords is necessary to get rid of troubled creatures, and duress is good preventative protection, but would Duress be better as some kind of Tutor to fetch up Rolling Stones and/or Doran? If anything, I'd probably cut out the Steel Walls and/or Wall of Shards to add that stuff in.
I got a pretty similar idea when I saw Doran, too - it really gets the juices flowing!

It is one of the preview cards for the new set. So, you won't find it in the gatherer yet. It basically turns all creatures into a X/X amount depending how much you pay.
The preview of this card was on the official website this week or last week.
Re: [Deck] Paul Wall Aggro
I really like the approach of using cheaper more efficient walls. I think that is the best alternative to making this deck competitive. Thanx for the feedback guys, keep those ideas flowing.
Re: [Deck] Paul Wall Aggro
Why wouldn't you be playing Treefolk Harbringer to find Doran? It turns into a 3/3 for :g:, which seems fine in your wall deck.

No, it's a card in Lorwyn. Just look for it in the spoiler. It's white.
But strange deck idea though...
Re: [Deck] Paul Wall Aggro
You probably want some tutor more reliable than Tainted Pact. Enlightened Tutor is an option; another is Shred Memory, which fetches both Rolling Stones and most of your walls. It can also combo with Eladamri's Call to fetch Doran.
Treefolk Harbinger also likely deserves a spot, as a 1-drop that can also grab Doran.

Oh yes that is right.
The other walls could see play though. I highly suggest the use of Steel Wall.
This deck will slow down most aggro, control and aggro-control decks due to the amount of beef these walls have for their CC. All this deck has to get around is disrupting combo decks.
Re: [Deck] Paul Wall Aggro
Sry but the deck needs an alternative win plan... I mean what does the deck do whene the doran gets sworded/countered! Same goes to the Rolling stones!
Maybe one of the Plaenswalker... (we have enogh walls to proteckt them...)
Re: [Deck] Paul Wall Aggro
The red/black planswalkers seem interesting. I think the green one is too slow and by the time you get enough bears out you would have drawn anyways. Awesome idea though, I think I'll goof around with it when lorwyn comes out.

Chalice and Duress help that issue. But if you want to feel safer just run additional hate in the SB.

I completely forgot about this. Now, what to put in to get Rolling Stones reliably..?

Just randomly throw in Tarmogoyf. I think it really is that good.

Enlightened Tutor?
Also this deck needs some way of getting to cards it needs. Maybe add in Night Whisper or SDT?
