mono green stompy

[SpeedOfDark]

hey guys! I've been thinking of making a MG stompy deck for a while now, and I'm not too sure which angle to take with it. After some brainstorming, this is what I came up with, let me know what you think (untested deck):

****MG ELF STOMPY + NO***

**artifacts 12
4 chalice of the void
3 winter orb
4 trinisphere
1 umezawa's jitte

**creatures 13
4 llanowar elves
3 nissa's chosen
4 elvish archdruid
1 imperious perfect
1 elvish aberration
1 progenitus

**planeswalker 10
3 garruk wildspeaker
3 nissa revane
4 natural order

**mana base 25
4 ancient tomb
2 city of traitors
15 forest
4 elvish spirit guide

The strategy is pretty usual, you are hoping with a quick hand with chalice, trinisphere or winter orb, while your deck plays around chalice and trini by avoiding 1-2 cmc, and plays around winterorb by playing a lot of lands, planeswalkers, archdruid and muldaya. You're hoping to slow the pace of the game down, and then either use elf aggro, jitte, or the planeswalkers to finish the job.

PS: if you know any good MG stompy lists (whether or not they have the same strategy), please post them or link :)

I should probably have named my thread MG elf stompy... :P

Would Skyshroud Poacher be useful here as another tutor for your bullets as well as a source of CA? It seems good with those giant landcycling elves at least.

yeah that's a nifty little card, especially considering that creature removal is often nullified with chalice etc, so it would probably be left unchecked.

So far I have two approaches that I think are interesting, the main difference is whether or not I want NO in the deck. In all likeliness I do want NO (because let's face it, NO is retarded good), but I'm still looking at the alternative out of curiosity.

One more suggestion: some number of Dryad Arbor if you plan on going the NO route.

Other possabilities, especially if you are using the worb/trini disruption package:

Tangle Wire
Tumble Magnet
Root Maze


I tried various combos of these cards in the past, but could never quite get it working right. Good luck!
