MtG Arena — Artisan FNM: Ramp & Land Destruction
Channel: T1GlistenerElf
Date: 2020-07-22

Friday Night Magic, but with a twist: I had to force Land Destruction yet again!

Since the event banned Cavalcade of Calamity, I had to switch to playing another deck. For the cards that I had, my first inclination was to, once again, adapt a pre-existing deck. After all, if Mono Red Aggro didn't work, then why not give Mono Green Ramp a try? Here's the list for that.

Creatures (25)
4 Arboreal Grazer
1 Arboretum Elemental
4 Beanstalk Giant
4 Fertilid
1 Greater Sandwurm
1 Howling Giant
3 Ilysian Caryatid
1 Migratory Greathorn
4 Paradise Druid
1 Warden of the Woods
1 Wrecking Beast
Sorceries (9)
4 Adventurous Impulse
1 Bond of Flourishing
4 Circuitous Route
Lands (26)
26 Forest

After that turned out to not work (and really, who would have guessed that?), I dabbled once again in the dark, forbidden arts of land destruction.

Live deck construction begins at 23:45.

Here's the decklist for Gruul Land Destruction:
Creatures (16)
4 Beanstalk Giant
1 Hellkite Punisher
3 Ilysian Caryatid
1 Leafkin Druid
4 Paradise Druid
2 Sunder Shaman
1 Syr Carah, the Bold
Instants (4)
2 Scorching Dragonfire
2 Shock
Sorceries (16)
4 Demolish
4 Lava Coil
4 Rubble Reading
4 Tectonic Edge
Lands (24)
4 Evolving Wilds
8 Forest
4 Gruul Guildgate
8 Mountain
