Hey everybody, thanks for reading my decklist.
Let's jump right in. I should say right off the bat that this is definitely not a treefolk tribal themed Doran EDH deck. I've tried that and have found that many (actually most) treefolk are rather ineffective and, perhaps more importantly, BORING!
The main objectives of the deck are (in no particular order):
1: Get Doran out early (no problem)
2: Give he and his comrades evasion and keep them protected
3: Kill opponents quickly with general damage, non-general damage, and poison counters
4: protect myself from harm while doing the above
The deck features many recurring themes such as indestructibility, evasion, protection from colors, infect, recursion, and (obviously) power<toughness creatures. Here's the list:
CREATURES (28):
Blinding Angel
Brawn
Chorus of the Conclave
Deathless Angel
Deathrite Shaman
Doran, the Siege Tower
Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite
Eternal Witness
Filth
Genesis
Glory
Indomitable Ancients
Mother of Runes
Oathsworn Giant
Palisade Giant
Priests of Norn
Shinen of Life's Roar
Silklash Spider
Spinebiter
Sylvan Primordial
Timber Protector
Treefolk Harbinger
Trostani, Selesnya's Voice
Verdeloth the Ancient
Vigor
Wickerbough Elder
Windbrisk Raptor
Woodfall Primus
ARTIFACTS (9):
Behemoth Sledge
Belbe's Armor
Darksteel Plate
Golgari Signet
Orzhov Signet
Pariah's Shield
Selesnya Signet
Slagwurm Armor
Sol Ring
ENCHANTMENTS (8):
Asceticism
Gift of the Deity
Mirari's Wake
Phyrexian Arena
Phyrexian Reclamation
Privileged Position
Shield of the Oversoul
Survival of the Fittest
SORCERIES (10):
Cultivate
Harmonize
Jarad's Orders
Kodama's Reach
Maelstrom Pulse
Praetor's Counsel
Skyshroud Claim
Triumph of the Hordes
Vindicate
Wave of Reckoning
INSTANTS (7):
Enlightened Tutor
Hunter's Insight
Mortify
Putrefy
Ready // Willing
Tainted Strike
Vampiric Tutor
LANDS (38):
Brushland
Caves of Koilos
Command Tower
Fetid Heath
7 Forest
Godless Shrine
Isolated Chapel
Kor Haven
Llanowar Wastes
Marsh Flats
Maze of Ith
Miren, the Moaning Well
Murmuring Bosk
Overgrown Tomb
4 Plains
Rogue's Passage
Scrubland
Stirring Wildwood
Sunpetal Grove
3 Swamp
Temple Garden
Terramorphic Expanse
Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth
Vault of the Archangel
Verdant Catacombs
Woodland Cemetary
Yavimaya Hollow
I'll take a moment here to list a few of my favorite combos and strategic interactions.
-Jarad's Orders/Survival of the Fittest + Brawn/Genesis/Glory/Filth
-Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth + Filth in graveyard
-Doran, the Siege Tower + Gift of the Deity/Shield of the Oversoul
-recurring Eternal Witness with Phyrexian Reclamation
-Pariah's Shield/Palisade Giant + indestructibility
-using Glory/Shinen of Life's Roar/Filth for mass evasion and alpha-striking a player/players for lethal
-it can be relatively easy to kill players with infect when they're protected, buffed, and given evasion
These are just a few. Also I want to mention how effective Tainted Strike, Triumph of the Hordes, and Ready//Willing are in killing players out of nowhere. Tainted Strike especially yields great shenanigans in multiplayer.
Here are a few cards that are currently in the MAYBE PILE:
Academy Rector
Deathbringer Liege
Down//Dirty
Momentous Fall
Reap
Seedborn Muse
Valor
Crime//Punishment
Village Bell-Ringer
Cauldron of Souls
Plague Wind
Forgotten Ancient
Animal Boneyard
Righteous Aura
I'd really appreciate any thoughts, suggestions, and constructive criticisms anyone has. Right now I'm basically trying to patch up any of the decks weak spots and keep the overall strategy streamlined.
Thanks again for reading!
