Description
{"ops":[{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"The Beastie Boys - Slinza, the Spiked Stampede."},{"insert":"\n"},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":"Big Green Stompy Tribal "},{"insert":"\n\nThis Deck falls under Bracket 2 with no Game Changers present, however, it is a force to be reckoned with and can win games FAST.\n\nThis deck focuses on building a large board-state that is capable of going wide, aiming to gnaw down on your opponents through means of combat with evasive support.\n\nTurn 1, 2 and 3 are focused entirely on developing your mana base, through mana rocks and land ramp to get Slinza onto the battlefield ideally by turn 4, with the possibility of turn 3 with the right hand! Being in green, I have opted for predominantly land based ramp, as that is a lot more permanent and less susceptible to removal when your opponents see your ramp capabilities.\n\nThis Deck hosts a number of highly synergistic and repeatable draw engines to keep your hand full, ranging from power matters, beasts / creatures ETB, and single use spells that will consistently refill your hand should your engines be removed.\n\nSlinza is great at controlling the board, as a large number of players will think twice about casting their commander due to Slinza's fight ability threatening their safety, whether their commander would trigger him to fight or not. \n\nI have found that support pieces relating to the fight mechanic can really create distance between you and your opponents, and quite importantly, support your commander to do their thing! Cards such as [Mithril Coat] allowing Slinza to fight to his hearts content, and [Basilisk Collar] helping provide additional pressure and buy you more time through Lifegain that will trigger from the fighting.\n\nInitially, the original version of Slinza contained more beasts, however I found through playtesting and iterations over time that a large number of support pieces outside of the beast creature type helped Slinza ETB sooner and were much more reliable than their beast counterparts, such as [Loot, Exuberant Explorer], who at fsce value feels like it could be an auto include, but in practice never quite worked out how you wanted it to at the pace that felt right for Slinza, being a 5 drop. Cards such as the two (G) mana dorks to try secure a turn 1 play consistent with the early game plan helps hugely with this. This enables the big beastly powerhouses in the deck to hit the board sooner thanks to Slinzas cost reduction and allowing you to establish necessary engines and threats at a quicker pace.\n\nDue to the nature of Slinza being a 5 drop, and his built in cost reduction ability, I have found that early game ramp is a core strategy that this deck utilises for its best games, and the ramp package (while at first-look may seem a lot), is to secure turn 2 and 3 plays very consistently, and is offset by the vast amount of consistent draw you can achieve.\n\nThese engines actually provide a lot of inherent value, most noticeably board wipe resistance, due to you maintaining a full grip which allows you to flood the board again after a wipe. Hopefully you will have managed to retain another draw engine in your hand so the cycle can start all over again!\n\nDue to the strong board presence and reaction to the focus on early game ramp, Slinza can typically catch the eye of your opponents as a large threat, especially considering the cost reduction ability.\nThis demands the inclusion of some consistent and reliable protection pieces that work wonders in this deck, such as [Bolt Bend], pretty much always costing (R) to save Slinza, [Tyvars Stand] which works exceptionaly well here doubling up as a protection piece, while also doubling as a combat trick that you can sink some of that rampy mana into as you should have a considerable mana pool towards the end of the game. Additionally, due to your board going wide consistently, sneaky KO's can be found holding onto [Heroic Intervention], as while tempting to use to save high value single targets, it can often lead to responses to other boardwipes for a free turn of big damage. Blasphemous Act can also be used along with this to create an asymmetrical boardwipe, achieving the same result.\n\nWhile these beasts are naturally relatively large themselves and are excellent blockers, additional pump spells work very well in here,\nparticularly [Thunderfoot Baloth], [Craterhoof Behemoth] and [Unnatural Growth] provide a scary sorcery-speed boosts to your creatures stats.\n\nThere are a number of great evasion pieces in here too, facilitating wins through trample and unblockable.\nThere is also the inclusion of a couple of Burn pieces that synergise with the gameplay of the deck, to get around pesky workarounds your opponents may have such as protection, large blockers, and Taxes. \n\n- Mulligan Priority\n2-3 Lands\nTurn 2 play (preferably ramp)\nTurn 3 play (preferably ramp)\nDraw Engine\nProtection\n\n- Thank you for taking the time to explore the deck list and this introduction!\n"}]}
