G/B Snakes

[Splatt]

So easy to splash a color with this deck I dont know why you would play Mono Green

First off here is a rough decklist I just started working on

Creatures (19)
4 Matsu-Tribe Sniper
4 Sakura-Tribe Elder
4 Sosuke’s Summons
2 Sosuke, Son of Seshiro
2 Sachi, Daughter of Seshiro
1 Seshiro the Anointed
1 Kodama of the North Tree
1 Kokusho, the Evening Star

Other (20)
4 Hideous Laughter
4 Umezawa’s Jitte
4 Kodama’s Reach
4 Time of Need
4 Horobi’s Whisper

Land (21)
1 Okina, Temple to the Grandfathers
1 Shizo, Death’s Storehouse
4 Tendo Ice Bridge
10 Forests
5 Swamps

Sideboard (15)
4 Eradicate
4 Splinter
4 Gale Force
3 Cranial Extraction


Its alot more control oriented than just staight mono green beatdown snakes..

Turn 3 Laughter vs an aggro deck can really mess them up... And Horobi's Whisper is just cool.. the splice on it is just awesome

This version is better than mono green in my opinion

Hideous Laughter is bad against aggro decks...unfortunately since Snakes is an aggro deck it doesn't really belong in this deck (at least in my opinion). Snakes as a deck is all about using Sosuke's Summons and quick drops to overwhelm the opponent, and killing most of your team with a Laughter doesn't help that strategy.

Also, I don't think that Horobi's Whisper is the optimal choice for creature removal in this deck. It's good that it can hit spirits and non-spirits, but aside from that it's not much better than Rend Flesh/Spirit, considering it requires two black mana (and since you're going to be re-using 4 of the cards in your deck once they hit the graveyard, it's Splice cost isn't exactly optimal)...

I'd say find a better use for the slots dedicated to Laughter and change the removal spells up with either of the Rends.

I am basically agreeing. Snakes is an aggro deck and is very weak against the card hideous laughter, so its not helping the fact you are running them as well. Why on earth run horobis whisper? It is double B (as is HL) so you will have trouble getting that, when you can just as easily run rend flesh/spirit.
The fact you are running less snakes makes sosuke summons weaker.

So you are splashing for 3 double coloured things, 2 of which really are not amazingly helpful.

If i was splashing black i would have cranial extraction MD.

Snakes is better as plain beatdown, it is probably the best aggresive block deck, it even has matsu-tribe sniper so it can hack flyers anyway.

If you havent noticed i only have 2 cards that can die to whisper(3 if you count sakura...) ... and the summons can just be returned and losing a sniper to clear out the opposing team of snakes or samurai is hardly much of a loss..

I dont see why I would run a rend over a horobi.. I dont have to consistantly cast horobi on turn 3.. and getting double black isnt a problem considering I run 18!!! sources//ways to get it.. and in a block full of spirits.. i dont think running rend flesh is that great and rend spirits targets are to limited

Perhaps you should pull the Laughter's for Hero's Demise. Laughter really isin't that good for you and doesn't give you enough to warrant running it. Demise on the other hand is much stronger for the anticpated metagame. Plus it's easier on the mana base.

Unless you were trying to win using your Snakes deck, in which case the point is to pump early snake drops and 1/1 tokens from Summons using Sosuke/Sachi/Seshiro and not to WoG your team away.
