George's Garage
As you can tell I lie to build decks,it's kind of like building models,but with magic. This article I take one of my friends decks and make it better with cards that fit there budget, and I called it a garage so it would kind of sound like orange county choppers, or something like that.
Okay this week's pal is george. george has always had a big trouble for some reason making decks that work right he gets all this stuff only to find they don't work, so I will try to make him a thats solid enough to play around with, hey all decks started small, my nantukovore deck started as my friend RJ's GB Husk sac deck.
George's grb list.
1 mortipede
1 rakdos spitter
3 brownscale
1 loaming shaman
3 shambling shell
2 gobhobbler rats
2 stinkweed imp
3 golgari rot wurm
3 seal of fire
1 seal of doom
3 wrecking ball
1 hit/ run
4 disemboel
1 pain magnification
2 golgari signet
1 rakdos signet
6 forest
6 swamp
6 mountain
1 rix maadi
1 rakdos earnarium
I saw that the main problem with his deck was consistency, one's, two's, how do you rely on cards that you have a 1/60 chance of drawing. so we decided golgari and rakdos would be the way to go with shell, stinky, and troll. puetrefy definetly is better than recking ball, and disemboel is good because it kills all and is moncolored. rakdos entered with the rakdos guildmage and taste of meyham. for speed will throw in llanowars and deep shadow.

4 shambling shell
2 stink weed inp
3 golgari grave troll
4 rakdos guildmage
4 llanowar
3 elves of deep shadow
4 seal of fire
3 taste of meyham
4 puetrefy
4 disemboel
3 rakdos signet
8 swamp
8 forest
6 mountain
playing the deck
you want to start with a llanowar or other guy for mana accel. either go on offense or defense, meaning O= shell D= imp, and of corse let them die. you will easily dredge the troll out for the win in the midgame. rakdos gm is awsome he can kill and make blockers. taste of meyham makes some pretty big creatures, and with all the kill spells in this deck you don't need trample for your troll.
