Magic: The Gathering Decks

 

Build a Better Basilisk


Colors: Red and Green 
Description: 
I like taking an old deck concept and trying to make it better by adding 
cards from new sets. This is such a deck. I took the old Lure/Basilisk combo 
and built a deck around it with some new cards. Hope you like it. 

Contents: 

Red Spells: 
4 Destructive Urge 

Green Spells: 
4 Lure 
3 Regeneration 
3 Alluring Scent 

Green Creatures: 
4 Basilisk 
4 Cockatrice 
4 Quirion Elves 
4 Skyshroud Elves 
3 Tempting Licid 

Multicolored: 
4 Rock Basilisk 
4 Kjeldoran Frostbeast 

Land: 
12 Forest 
8 Mountain 

Comments: The trick to a Lure/Basilisk combo deck was always getting that 
Lure when you needed it. Now, I have 4 Lure, 3 Alluring Scent, and 3 Tempting 
Licid. Destructive Urge punishes the defender if he does not block the 
basilisk, and so is almost as good as Lure. Also, I can't really think of any 
other creature as intimidating as a basilisk- if it attacks, something is 
going to die, if it blocks, something is going to die. This deck has 16 
Basilisks (or basilisk like creatures.)  Of, course, the ultimate goal, is to 
put Lure on the basilisk creature, then attack- destroying all defense in the 
process. With this deck, you should never need for defense. Only heavy direct 
damage decks really hurt this deck and Counterspell decks are tough.
