As I mentioned before this will be our first post that includes a full Decklist. In MTG we have 100 card decks but Basic lands do make up a Fair amount so those will be grouped together to make the page a bit less cluttered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will explain keyword abilities when they appear for clarity!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is Our Commander – Selvala, Explorer Returned<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Selvala,
Parley – Is a mechanic where it will have every player flip over the top car of the library, Depending on the type revealed different outcomes occur.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Selvala is a fun and simple commander that uses a lot of different ways to win or have fun! In this list we will make her more token based. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creatures – Our driving force that protects us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make things easier we will be going in order of Mana Cost to make things more readable!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 Mana<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Emmara,<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Sakura-Tribe<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Our first card states that when it becomes Tapped it does something. Becoming tapped simply means turning it sideways there are a multitude of ways to tap a creature the simplest being to attack. Sacrifice is exactly what it sounds like, you can choose at any time to sacrifice the creature and this one helps us find a basic land!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 Mana<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Spawnwrithe<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Wayfaring<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Doomed<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The only real thing here in our 3 drop category is Trample. Trample means that if your creatures power is bigger then your opponents defending creatures toughness then you trample over the difference in this case, if the defender has 1 toughness 1 damage would trample over. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 Mana<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Arasta<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Wolfbriar<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Trostani,<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Arasta has reach, it means that creature can block a flying creature. Mulitikicker is something you can do before the thing enters it results in different effects, lastly populate creates a copy of a token.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 Mana <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Angel<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Victory's<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Thragtusk<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Trostani<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Wingmate<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Ohran<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Karametra,<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Deathtouch means that if the creature does damage to another creature it kills it in 1 damage. Raid means you attacked this turn and you get a bonus. Embalm is weird, it exiles the card (removes from the game) from our graveyard and makes a 4\/4 token copy that is now also a zombie. Think Mummification if it was a mechanic. Indestructible means its impossible to kill unless we sacrifice or exile the creature, devotion is how many mana symbols of each color we have, Karametra has 1 green and 1 white devotion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6 Mana<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Harmonious<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Tolsimir<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Armada<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Rampaging<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Landfall is simply when a land enters the battlefield (under your control) something happens!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7 mana<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Novablast<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Giant<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Emmara<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There is nothing new listed here! The 7 drops are just the late game beat up cards!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10 Mana<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Amazon.com:<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Our only 10 drop, because he is a big creature that makes another big creature. It compliments the token generation of the deck!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s all of our creatures! I put all of them in picture to make explaining Mechanics, from this point in instants and sorcery’s I will post pictures of the NEW MECHANIC cards to keep things less congested. This will be the format we follow for most decks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instants\/Sorcery’s are like spells we fling in various phases to change the outcome of the battle at hand. Some destroy creatures, some supply us etc. etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting with 2 Mana Instants\/Sorcerys<\/p>\n\n\n\n
