So, I'm sure it's been tried and failed, but I was wondering if a GW creature/life gain deck would be viable. There's quite a few nice creatures out there that can help you stay alive, while beating to the face for quite a bit.
4x Windswept Heath
2x Flooded Strand
2x Wooded Foothills
4x Savannah
4x Forest
5x Plains
1x Pendelhaven
4x Fyndhorn Elves
3x Llanowar Elves
4x Tarmogoyf
4x Knight of Meadowgrain
3x Saffi Eriksdotter
4x Kitchen Finks
2x Ravenous Baloth
4x Loxodon Hierarch
3x Umezawa's Jitte
4x Swords to Plowshares
3x Sword of Light and Shadow
Board
4x Krosan Grip
4x Orim's chant
4x Tormod's crypt
2x Gaea's Blessing
1x Pithing needle
So yeah...any thoughts? Or perhaps somebody can just point me to something similar that's already been made (and failed). I haven't gotten to do a ton of testing, but with the few games I played on workstation it seems like this would be pretty fun to play. The curve is slightly higher than most, but hopefully the accel and 22 lands should be enough. To be honest, I don't really like goyf in here, but you know...It's goyf.
I like how some of the cards work together, like using saffi on anything, or bringing back things with sword of light and shadows. Knight of meadowgrain gets really annoying with the equipment in here too. There's for sure ways to improve it, but I like it as a rough draft. Should frustrate other aggro, but will likely have an attrocious matchup against combo.
