When you play this deck that i made, you will be the only one laughing.

i took it to an FNM tonight, and had consistent turn 4-6 kills.
might change out the Curs for more Groundswells and Might of the Masses, and another Clasp tho.

Lands x20
------------------------
4x Verdant Catacomb
9x Swamp
7x Forest


Creatures x29
------------------------
4x Plague Stinger
4x Blight Mamba
4x Contagious Nim (want to change 1 into another Hand)
3x Ichor Rats
3x Corpse Cur**
3x Ichorclaw Myr**
2x Necropede**
2x Cystbearer
2x Skithyrix
2x Hand of the praetors

Artifacts x7
-------------------------
3x Bladed Pinions
1x Contagion Clasp
2x Throne of Geth
1x Livewire Lash

Spells x4
-------------------------
2x Groundswell
2x Might of the Masses

** = Creatures that are also artifacts, so can be sacced in order to proliferate.  The Necropede is especially useful for this, as he will be sacced, putting his -1/-1 ability on the stack before proliferate, so you then have another target for the proliferate.


Sideboard
-------------------------
4x Natures Claim (who cares if they gain 4 life? i use poison, and it costs me 1 less now to naturalize. yay!)
4x Doom Blade
3x Disfigure
2x Ratchet Bomb
2x Vines of the Vastwood

it works really well, Turbine.

it has bad matchups against Red Deck Wins, of course, cuz they burn everything to hell and back.

thinking of taking the Death Marks outta SB and replacing them with Vendetta.  the life loss is worth being able to get rid of a troublesome creature of any color, and helps in mirror matches. (as most infect creatures have 1-2 toughness, so with only like 2 exceptions, you wont lose much, and if it IS a mirror match, life loss isnt a huge problem anyways. )

after some testing on Tuesday, ill let you know what, if any, changes i made to it.

Changes being Considered (Main Deck) :

--------------------------------------

-2 Cystbearer

  +2 Vines of the Vastwood

-3 Ichorclaw Myr

  +1 Groundswell

  +2 Canopy Cover

-2 Might of the Masses

  +1 Vines of the Vastwood

  +1 Canopy Cover

-1 Skithyrix

  +1 Livewire Lash



Reasons:



With 28 creatures in the deck, i felt i had plenty of threats, but no
real way to protect them. so i found when i played RDW or control they
would be getting rid of the creatures which would stall out the deck and
occasionally end up in my loss (1-2 vs RDW, and 1-2 vs U/B Control.)



So I cut 6 creatures, and replaced them with mostly buff/protection.  
With Blight Mamba now my only green creatures, and Necropede now my only
artifact creatures, i have to fear Doomblade alot less (5 times less,
actually, lol) 



I cut Skithyrix because i didnt really see him much in my matchups, and
the only time i did see him, i had two and found myself saying "wish i
had my Groundswells right now..."  so i cut 1, and replaced him with
Livewire Lash, which is great since when the equipped creature gets
targeted, it (the creature, not lash) sends out 2 points of
dmg...resulting in either 2 poison counters, or 2x -1/-1 counters...just
for being targeted by ANY spell...cast by me or the opponent.  "oh, you
targeted my necropede with lightning bolt?  well first you get 2 poison
counters.  then i cast Vines of the Vastwood on him.  get two more
counters.  oh, and hes alive."  pretty nasty.  want to get a 3d and
replace 1 pinions with it.



Got rid of Might of the Masses because it rarely gave me more than +1+1
or +2/+2.  if thats all it was gonna give me, i may as well get more
protection, so in came Vines and Canopy Cover.



Cystbearer and Ichorclaw were (total) 5 of the creatures i got rid of
because, ichorclaw is good, but once people figure out his gimmick he
becomes a target FAST.  and cystbearer, costing 3 mana, cost too much,
imo. lol   So in came more Vines and Canopy Cover.



Canopy Cover is great because its a 2 for 1 deal.  Now not only does the
creature have Faux Flying, but now has super-shroud....pretty good
bargain at 3 mana.

so after i implement all of this, ill let you know how it goes!  stay tuned!

Also, what would be the cost, money-wise for it.

invigorate isnt Standard Legal.  or else it woulda been in here lol

and as for $$ cost Turbine, other than the hands, and the Skythiryx, its pretty cheap to build.  prlly taking out both the Skiths anyways for (believe it or not) Harrow or Cultivates.  both skiths, and 1 hand should net me 3 cards that thin the deck out by 6 cards, and get me my color fixing.  always good.

the deck as it is, prlly costs around 50 bucks to build (Skith and hands)

without Skith, youre lookin at like 25. lol
