Favorites from my collection 1.............

One of my all time favorites and the powerhouse of my green white aura deck is the Aura Gnarlid!

Coupled with cards such as rancor, Aura Gnarlid can dominate very early in the game. It cant be blocked by creatures with less power. By turn 3 with rancor's help, this creature can be a 5/3.....few creatures can block it this early in the game.

The more auras you drop on it and other creatures in your army, the more powerful it becomes! Now to enhance this virtually unblockable, powerful creature.........trample does the job nicely! Cards such as Armadillo Cloak, Epic Proportions and Mythic Proportions can do just that!

Add another 3 Aura Gnarlids to your aura deck and your opponents will have a game on their hands! The Aura Gnarlids work great with Kor Spiritdancer and Yavimaya Enchantress, which also ramp up with enchantments and auras!!

The Aura Gnarlid, a must have card for any legacy/casual deck...........

Playing the blues......

I have created a legacy blue deck which is fun to play and has had a great track record. I am enjoying the strategic and tricky game play of blue. I def enjoy watching powerful aggro decks squirm as they are unable to gather their army!

The purpose of this deck, like most blue decks is to control the game. It gains the upper hand by disrupting an opponents usual rhythm and play style.

Fog bank provides me with early defenses, one of my fav blue cards. Provides perfect cover for only 2 mana. Makes it very difficult for ur opponent at any stage of the game!

I am running a full compliment of rune snag, a counter spell for 2 mana.........by the forth spell your opponent has to pay 6 to stop it. This makes it viable late in the game as well!

Griptide with dream twist provide a great way to cycle problem cards from the battlefield to the graveyard.

devastation tide, cyclonic rift, spelltwine and stolen goods are some of the decks hard hitters!

There are not many creatures in my line up....... I have included shapeshifters marrow to use their creatures against them!

These artifacts add an interesting twist to the game!!

I round the deck out with cheap mana commons such as unsummon, curiosity, silent departure, early frost and ponder..... ice cage and curse of chains do well to.

I finish it all off with 'reminisce' so I can do it all again!!
