This deck ended up pretty good thanks to Fiery Justice solidifying me in the right colors. With the Sporesower Thallid I decided to go with a bit of a Thallid theme to take advantage of the Pallid Mycoderms, which are excellent in the archetype. I changed the deck slightly from the deck that’s posted here. I played Psychothrope Thallid instead of Mistmeadow Skulk. I figured since I was playing eighteen lands to support the colored mana costs in the deck, then Psychothrope would be a better fit since he may be able to draw me out of mana floods, and my deck was pretty aggressive so the Skulk wasn’t really necessary.
Round 1 I played against another White/Green deck. He had a quick start in the first game, with Thornweald Archer and Hedge Troll, but I was able to stabilise with Mycoderm, Ancient, and a Sprout Swarm which he had no way around. Game 2 I again stabilised quickly and drew the Sprout Swarm that he just couldn’t handle.
Round 2 I played against a Green/White/Red sliver deck. Game 1 I had a really good curve, topped with Nacatl War-Pride, and he didn’t have an answer for it. 2 two his draw was pretty slow, and I was swarming three times a turn before he could mount an offense.
My opponent didn’t want to split the finals, and although my deck wasn’t overly powerful, I was fine with battling. Game 1 he had a quick start, but I was able to stabilise and then win with War-Pride. Game 2 he had 2 two Kavu Predator, and used Healing Leaves to make it big on turn 3. It eventually traded with Benalish Cavalry, Gathan Raiders, and Essence Warden (discarded to the Raiders). He also had Fledgling Mawcor for my Wormwood Dryad, but after that he ran out of gas while I played some big guys, and eventually the War-Pride killed him again
Until tomorrow,
Rich
