I am trying to revive the Monsters deck for the team to use in the upcoming local Standard tournaments. It seems that Black is already not a viable third color for the deck basing on the current available cards so I checked for card options on the Temur clan that seems to support big creatures with its Ferocious mechanic.
After a few browsing, referencing and brainstorming, here is the list I have come up with:
Lands
4 Frontier Bivouac
3 Shivan Reef
3 Temple of Abandon
2 Wooded Foothills
4 Forest
1 Island
3 Mountain
4 Yavimaya Coast
Creatures
4 Sylvan Caryatid
3 Elvish Mystic
4 Polukranos, World Eater
4 Stormbreath Dragon
3 Savage Knuckleblade
2 Arbor Colossus
2 Sagu Mauler
3 Courser of Kruphix
1 Hornet Queen
Spells
3 Xenagos, the Reveler
1 See the Unwritten
2 Crater’s Claws
3 Temur Charm
1 Kiora, the Crashing Wave
Here is the current sideboard:
SB: 1 Keranos, God of Storms
SB: 1 Setessan Tactics
SB: 3 Arc Lightning
SB: 1 Negate
SB: 1 Chandra, Pyromaster
SB: 2 Reclamation Sage
SB: 1 Destructive Revelry
SB: 1 Back to Nature
SB: 2 Stubborn Denial
SB: 2 Hunt the Hunter
Card by card discussion to follow on the next post.
