Intro
This deck is probably my most casual deck, that is a fun change up from time to time. Basking rootwalla has been one of my favorite cards for a long time, and when I realized I had a playset, a deck had to follow!
Who I Play
I thought that it would be important to mention that these-non standard decks are really meant for casual play. The group at my local gaming store is pretty chill, and also have looser terms with the banlist, so most cards still see play. These decks are mostly made for fun, but also to win
How it Plays
This is a pretty straightforward madness deck with a few tricks up the sleeve. Nulltread Gargantuan puts Basking Rootwalla on top of my library, just to be re cast for free with cards like Careful Study or Merfolk Looter.
Since there is a lot of drawing and discarding going on, Lorescale Coatl gets pretty big.
Discarding Wonder straight into the graveyard gives everything flying, and usually ends the game.
What needs to be changed
I have a few Coiling Oracle in my cardbox that could find their way into the deck, but I'm not sure what to cut out! Also, If there is a more efficient substitute for Yavimaya coast, I'll gladly toss it in.
This is actually my favorite decks of all time. I was thinking if it would be possible to add Delver and Nimble Mongoose here and squeeze a few ponders or brainstorms?
