My "Crush of Wurms" Deck

[thefallenone]

Well, I built a new deck, based entirely around wurm tokens. It is a tad slow (and I figured it would be), though I sped it up as much as I could, but it is undefeated so far, so I'm happy. Anyway, does anyone have any suggestions on how I can improve it?

23 Forests
4 Crush of Wurms
4 Roar of the Wurm
1 Coat of Arms (to give the wurms ungodly strength)
4 Parallel Evolution
4 Nostalgic Dreams
4 Llanowar Elves (for quick mana)
4 Harvester Druid
1 Lay of the Land
2 Wild Growth
1 Vernal Bloom
2 Planar Portal
1 Tranquility (to help plug my weakness against enchantments)
1 Brawn (for the trample ability)

There are also a few cards to defend against flying (including one Flying Carpet).

This deck's first match was against a life deck, but I beat my opponent by dishing out 72 damage in the final turn (12 6/6 Wurms attacked).

more vernal blooms, Journey of Discovery and/or Kodamas Reach, maybe a Fastbond or 2, i like New Frontiers too. oh, and if possible, drop the druids for Fyndhorn Elves

[thefallenone]

Yeah, thanks, some of those would be very useful if I can get my hands on them. Maybe another trip to the card shop is in order here...

[Maraxus of Keld]

Volrath's got it covered, use a buncha land-fetchers. I like Sakura-Tribe Elder because you can use it to chump block an opponent and then toss it for a land.

[thefallenone]

Yeah, that would work too. Since the whole deck is based around 8 cards (the Wurm cards), I am trying to keep the deck size down though.

[Volrath, the Fallen]

i would make it entirely land fetchers and those 8 cards. Those early chump blockers are good until you can get that first roar played. The land fetchers thin your deck greatly, so you will get to your main cards quicker. I still love new frontiers it will help you much more than it will help them, unless they are playing a very slow deck, in which case, you don't need a huge speed boost.

[thefallenone]

That could work too, except I still would keep the Parallel Evolutions in. It's a cheap way to get more creatures.

[thefallenone]

Thanks for the help everyone. I greatly improved the deck speed, and got a Crush of Wurms out in 4 turns, and dished out 21 damage for the win in 5.

[Maraxus of Keld]

Niiiiiiiice. What did you end up changing?

[Volrath, the Fallen]

turn 4 crush? wtf, mate?

[thefallenone]

Threw in 4 Kodama's Reach, another Vernal Bloom, and a New Frontier. That's about it, really, but it's amazingly fast. Oh, and I took out the anti-flying and anti-enchantment stuff.

Basically, here's how it went:

1st turn:
Forest, Llanowar Elves

2nd turn:
Another forest, Kodama's Reach (total of 4 possible mana)

3rd turn:
Another forest, Vernal bloom, another Elves (total of 10 possible mana)

4th turn:
Crush, another Elves

5th turn:
3 Elves and 3 Wurms attack for 21 damage.

[Volrath, the Fallen]

oh crap, i was thinking you flashed it back too. I'm like, 21 mana on turn 4!?!?!?!?! Thats nuts!!!!!!!!!. thanks for clarifying that

[Baron Sengir]

Nice deck.

[thefallenone]

I was rather stunned myself.

[Maraxus of Keld]

I can imagine.
