Description

The goal of this deck is to take over the board with creatures and pressure the opponents life total, utilizing cards like Judith, the Scourge Divaimage and Growth-Chamber Guardianimage to fill the board and get in damage fast. Cards like Llanowar Elvesimage and Incubation Druidimage provide extra mana and mana-fixing to help accelerate this plan, as well as becoming viable threats themselves with Judith's abilities, both making them larger and threatening more damage after they die, potentially getting damage through even when blocked, trading up with tougher creatures, or taking out an X/1 on the opponents' board.

The deck is also trying to abuse this ramp provided to cast card like Nikya of the Old Waysimage that doubles the mana our lands tap for, making something like kicking Josu Vess, Lich Knightimage a real possibility on turns 4-6 of the game. Utilizing the downside that Nikya gives of preventing us from casting creature spells, we are also able to take advantage of [Nullhide Ferox]], which usually is mediocre but with our deck is often just a 6/6 with hexproof on turn 3.

image image

To make up for the lack of interactive spells, the deck include Ravenous Chupacabraimage and Ravager Wurmimage at 4 copies each as ways to deal with opposing threats on the other side of the board. Kraul Harpoonerimage is included as well, as it can take out flying threats like those found in mono-blue early game, and after a few things have died can even trade for a Niv-Mizzet, Parunimage, Hydroid Krasisimage, or Lyra Dawnbringerimage. All of these also have the potential to become very real threats on their own, being powered up by Judith and/or riot.

 image image image

The sideboard includes a lot more non-creatures spells focused on specific match-ups. Duressimage, Cindervinesimage, and Theater of Horrorsimage all help in the grindier matchups against control, and can often come down before casting Nullhide or Nikya, or help to regain control of the board if those have been removed. Kitesail Freebooterimage fills the role of Duress as well, without having to play around our Nikya/Ferox, and Plaguecrafterimage can also help in this matchup, as well as dealing with an opposing Carnage Tyrantimage that we might not be able to overpower as easily.

 image image image

Thrashing Brontodonimage helps deal with the white weenie match, taking out History of Benaliaimage and providing a large body, as well as being useful in the mono-red match for Experimental Frenzyimage and again providing a body that is larger than their threats, including Goblin ChainwhirlerimageThe Haunt of Hightowerimage is another card I've been wanting to try that is great here, providing a threat they often have trouble removing, coming in with 4 toughness after making them discard, and growing everytime they play something that goes to the graveyard, as well as providing a large amount of lifegain that they can't usually cope with.

 image image

Overall, I definitely enjoy this deck for what it is and think there is real potential for something here, but also think there are needed improvements and tweaking to be done as more testing goes on.
