Magic The Gathering

Very valid criticism, and ironically, I considered several of the cards like Turn to Frog and Naturalize.

In all honesty, I'd never consider playing any card - very rarely - if it doesn't have some sort of built in secondary effect. That's why Sedge Scorpion rules. I DID debate over a fourth mystic, and I probably will do that now, because I will need the mana ramp. My biggest mistakes in the past were just picking low-cost mana cards that had very low resilience value; they just take up space in the deck and have no real function. I think interacting with the player and either forcing them to take damage - even if it's 1 - or lose a creature, is HUGE to sweeping the game ASAP.

My thoughts were that Hornet Queen is awesome for having those 4 1/1 deathtouch hornets out on the field, and sort of overwhelming opponent into not being able to take out all of those threats - especially if I get two out there. Same with Rise of Eagles and Wolfpack - my strategy/mission statement for this deck is to overwhelm, and I figure that raises my chances of doing so. If I have lots of death touch creatures, I can dismember their army quickly/take out heavy hitters with minimal sacrifice, then trample for the win.

Rise of eagles + Stormtide should be obvious, granted I draw both. If not, hopefully I'd have a wave of hornets going. The wolfpack card is nuts IMHO.

Terra Stomper has won several games for me before, and I'm looking to clear a path to just go on an all out attack with him and a swarm of hornets, wolves, etc - not necessarily all at once, but my odds improve of getting an overwhelming amount of creatures going, and having the means to re-ramp a second wave if they do get taken out by sorceries. I agree that more blue spells are better, but I only have two cancel card currently. Massive growth and trample has won games for me alone before, and I can see how a turn to frog before a trample would be beneficial.

I put the Sable in there because it's a low-cost artifact creature, and I despise intimidate creatures more than anything, and all my friends play red decks with intimidate creatures. If there is a better way to counter intimidate, let me know!

If there's a better way to execute the strategy I've mentioned above, I'm all ears! I also only have so many cards on hand to work with; I should upload my inventory then post that here.

If I'm playing Modern, the height of my curve is 4 mana for Cryptic Command, and that's for a control deck.

If I'm playing EDH, I need to even it out, but 4 drops will be common as will larger spells.

If I'm drafting, 2 or 3 is ideal.

My first ever planeswalker card .

Boosters are such a crap-shoot; I literally cussed so excitedly when I pulled that Ajani . 

So how exactly do planeswalker cards work? Lots of new numbers and counters that I need to learn about .

That's what I thought! So it's like another player that's on your side. Also, I like how the game refers to the player him/herself as "plansewalker". That makes total sense. So it just has 4 life (in this case), and takes a turn after me; it doesn't control any creatures, but can be attacked via spells or "target" sorcery/instants from opposing player? I.e. they can't just attack it directly? So after that first turn, if it did that +4, it would be at 8 for the next turn, and could do that -7 move?
