That card against multiple opponents is awesome Big smile
Since you're using green with tokens, do you know this card?

Sweet Nissa, that is an excellent card! Thank you for bringing that to my attention! I have yet to grace the world of multiple opponents; it looks daunting. I'd imagine it gets quite confusing when there are tokens all over the battlefield LOL.

What's the biggest (most players at once) game of MTG you've ever played/seen?

I had the 4 vs 4 that I mencioned the other day and I played many 8 player games with no teams. My aura deck is surprisingly strong on those games because, since there are a lot of players to attack, I have time to build my battlefield and for exemple, once I have an Invisible Stalker with 50/50 and lifelink or make copies of Serra Avatar every turn, I finish them all LOL
This card is great too on those games:

^Great cards!

How exactly do you go about getting that 1/1 Invisible Stalker up to 50/50?! Shocked

That Sigil is an excellent enchantment!

With lots of auras attached to it, but those are the ones that really boost the creatures:

GREAT combo! Clap

Watch out for that Turn to Frog/Polymorphist's Jest LOL.

Fortunely those cards don't cancel the enchantments effects on the creature, only the creature itself Tongue

^See? That's why I love threads like this. I'm still so new to the game, I wouldn't have even noticed that! LOL

That's normal: I only noticed that when someone played that card on one of my creatures. There was a serious debate about that card's rules LOL

The main weakness of my aura deck are cards that make me sacrifice my creatures because I don't usually have many creatures on the battlefield and auras with Totem Armor don't save creatures from sacrifice. But now I have more creatures on my deck to prevent it.

Totally understandable, and I'm glad I'm not the only one! LOL

Question about artifacts; do you pay the upper right cost to cast it, then have to wait a turn to pay the rest to equip or use it? Here's an example of one I'm currently running in my overwhelm green/blue deck:

You can use it immediatly after you cast it, artfacts don't have summoning sickness like creatures. There are some artifacts that you can only use/equip only when you can play a sorcery, like this one:

Ah ok, so I have been playing it right then! I was trying to avoid an embarrassing moment on my first public FNM game. Thanks for clearing that up!

Preparing for some Saturday Night Magic at my kitchen table. 

Time to debut Terastodon and unleash the green/blue overwhelm LOL.

What an awesome evening of MTG!

I won a few games, and lost a few games. 

Almost all the games I won were due to Hornet Queen (one or both) and/or Terastodon being on the battlefield Wink.

I'm starting to see how I really do enjoy those token-generating cards, and a few of my extra big-brute cards (I have two Terra Stompers in my deck, which I now see as completely redundant) are kind of pointless. I've got the mana ramp thing down, and my blue spells are on point! 

I need me some Hornet's Nests! Can you imagine targeting those with my own 8/8+ creatures?! LOL

Its funny that normally deathtouch decks are green/black and token decks are green/white, but you have built an interesting green/blue deck that seems to work well with both strategies Smile

^That's what I'm saying, it almost defies MTG 101 LOL

I have Negates and Cancels to cast as "insurance" on my big guys and token-generators.

Do you guys/gals browse the MTGSalvation forums much? I've been finding a ton of good insight/answers to questions there. Looks like a solid community!

These cards completely revolutionized and re-vamped my entire deck:




Can you say "mana ramp"? LOL

If you're into mana ramp you should check this deck:

I once had every land card on the battlefield with this one LOL

^Yup, another good combination of cards! LOL

Here's a shot of our game from last evening: Hornet Queen w/Overwhelm then a Titanic Growth for 24 damage via the air:
