Overview:
A high-powered mono-green stompy deck led by Selvala, Heart of the Wilds that focuses on deploying large creatures and generating massive amounts of mana to overwhelm opponents through combat damage and card advantage.
Primer:
The deck's primary gameplan revolves around accelerating out Selvala, Heart of the Wilds as early as possible using various mana dorks and ramp spells. Once Selvala is online, the deck can generate explosive amounts of mana by playing high-power creatures, creating a snowball effect where each large creature enables even more mana production and card draw. The deck can consistently threaten wins around turns 5-6 through combat damage, often utilizing Craterhoof Behemoth or Overwhelming Stampede as finishers.
The deck maintains momentum through multiple card draw engines like Beast Whisperer, Guardian Project, and The Great Henge, while protecting its board state with cards like Heroic Intervention and Veil of Summer. The inclusion of untap effects like Quirion Ranger and Scryb Ranger allows for multiple uses of Selvala's ability in a single turn, enabling explosive plays and potential pseudo-infinite mana combinations.
Weaknesses:
The deck is heavily reliant on its commander and can struggle if Selvala is repeatedly removed or countered. It has limited interaction with flying creatures and is vulnerable to board wipes, though it can rebuild relatively quickly with its strong card draw engines. The mono-green nature of the deck means it lacks answers to certain permanent types and stack-based interaction, though it includes some protection through cards like Veil of Summer.
Most Important Cards:
- Craterhoof Behemoth
- The Great Henge
- Guardian Project
- Quirion Ranger
- Beast Whisperer
- Lightning Greaves
- Green Sun's Zenith
- Worldly Tutor
- Tooth and Nail
- Growing Rites of Itlimoc
Attribute Ratings:
- Speed: 8/10
- Resilience: 6/10
- Consistency: 7/10
- Interaction: 4/10
Rating Justification:
This deck sits comfortably in the 7.0-7.5 range due to its ability to consistently threaten wins around turns 5-6 through explosive mana production and creature deployment. While it lacks the instant-win combos and heavy interaction of higher-powered decks, its ability to generate massive card advantage and mana advantage makes it a serious threat at most tables. The inclusion of efficient tutors and protection spells elevates it above typical "big creature" strategies.
Final power level rating: 7.0 - 7.5
Selvala, Heart of the Wilds
