Deck Archetype- Man Land Awakening

In the universe we know as Magic the Gathering, there are many different ways to win battles young planeswalker. We have studied a good number of those ways already and today I show you a new way. This is a red and green mage who enjoys making the land itself do his bidding. You are probably asking yourself, ok but don't all mages use the land in some form to even just battle? What makes this mage so different? Yes you normally would be correct but the way he uses the land is a special way. He can make one special land turn into a creature that only gets stronger with each attack he launches at you with it. Alright but how is he doing this? Well let us take a look then shall we?

Battling the Avalanche

The key to this mages power isn't his spells that he wields. It is more the special land Raging Ravine. This land can make itself into a creature and with every attack, the Ravine gets stronger. Most mages have ways to do battle with a creature as soon as it hits the battle field. This time it is a touch different. Unless you can destroy lands at will, you might have to wait until he makes it a creature and then strike it. With this in mind though, he has taken guard against this. With Reclaim in his spell tomb, he can bring it right back from the grave to use again. Creature heavy mages can be a problem normally but not when you have the spell Fog in your corner.

Reclaim Fog

I leave you with this young mage. How will you attempt to take on an enemy that doesn't use conventinal battle? Creature heavy may sound like the right idea but Fog can put a damper in that. So what other strategy can you use? The choice is yours young walker, choose wisely.
