Hey, Rod, I did it (Mono-Green Trading Post Control [Standard])

4 Ichor Wellspring
4 Pristine Talisman
3 Trading Post
2 Swiftfoot Boots
1 Mycosynth Wellspring


3 Solemn Simulacrum
2 Wurmcoil Engine
2 Predator Ooze
2 Thrun, the Last Troll
2 Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger
2 Wolfir Avenger
2 Ulvenwald Tracker

4 Prey Upon
2 Green Sun's Zenith

3 Buried Ruin
2 Ghost Quarter
3 Inkmoth Nexus
3 Phyrexia's Core
14 Forest

Yup. Dead serious.


Wolfir Avengers/Deadly Recluses could possibly be swapped for Beast Withins, but idk atm.

MY FACE WHEN.

But it's built wrongly.

-2 Deadly Recluse
-2 Vorinclex
+4 Ulvenwald Tracker

Ulvenwald Tracker + Predator Ooze = sex

4 Ulvenwald seems kinda silly with 4 Prey Upons, and honestly Vorinclex is a win condition in itself, and since I'm basically slow-playing thanks to Trading Post it's not hard to just wait until I can cast him and just win then and there. 2 Ulvenwald over the 2 Recluse seems better though, I have plenty of time to just dig with the deck, generally.

Fair enough. I always wanted to see Vorinclex on a deck too, he is just too slow in general.

The Trading Post engine I use is designed to be slow, and with stuff like Predator Ooze, Thrun, Wolfir and Wurmcoil slowing my opponent down it doesn't seem to hard to get to 8, especially since I have Simulacrums and Talismans to get me there faster. Mono-White could cast Elesh Norn on turn 5 in the same manner this can cast Vorinclex on turn 6. And after he's cast, if he survives then there's practically no way I can lose, and I like win conditions like that. And there's the novelty in casting it, for me, it's something that I absolutely want to include even if there are probably better options, the Praetors all seem so cool.


Will drop the 2 Recluse for 2 Ulvenwald though.
