Here's a deck I have been working on over the past few months. I thought I might post it here to get some feedback/ direction. Basically, I love the idea of playing homebrews and non blue decks. This is my most recent creation. I wanted to do something with natural order and I wanted to incorporate it into a loam strategy.


4 Deathrite Shaman
1 Scryb Ranger
1 Eternal Witness
3 Tarmogoyf
1 Scavenging Ooze
1 Progenitus

4 Abrupt Decay
1 Maelstrom Pulse
4 Hymn To Tourach
1 Green Sun's Zenith
2 Life From The Loam
3 Natural Order
1 Entomb
1 Crop Rotation

4 Mox Diamond
2 Sylvan Library
2 Liliana Of The Veil

4 Verdant Catacombs
4 Bayou
2 Swamp
2 Forest
1 Bojuka Bog
1 Maze of Ith
2 Barren Moor
2 Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth
2 Dryad Arbor
4 Wasteland

Sideboard:
4 Chalice of the Void
1 Toxic Deluge
1 Chains of Mephistopheles
1 Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale
1 Pithing Needle
1 Engineered Explosives
1 Life From The Loam
2 Golgari Charm
1 Sigarda
1 Worldspine Wurm
1 Surgical Extraction




Basically this deck tries to overwhelm the opponent through card quality in DRS, tarmogoyf, abrupt decay etc. If can also go for a quick combo kill with Natural order into progenitus or other creatures in the SB as early as turn two. It's kind of weak to combo game one, but usually does ok post sideboard with Hymns and Chalices. Combo match ups are dependent on getting an early threat and backing it up through discard and chalice. The Natural order combo really takes people by surprise, especially if they didn't see it in the first game. I understand that NO is not ideal in non blue decks so please don't feel the need to mention that. I will typically win without ever casting a natural order, it just helps to have the combo in a lot of match ups.

Scryb Ranger is a newish addition so I'll have to do some testing before I find out if it's good enough.

Let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions.

I think you don't have enought creatures to sac for natural order...

Keep in mind that fetching up a dryad arbor to sacrifice to NO is a valid plan.
