Review: Green in Magic 2013

Green is my other favorite color, next to Blue. My first named deck (Psuedo-Stompy) was Green, and it performed admirably for years despite only have 13 land, which makes NO SENSE. Hey, maybe I can remake it? Or maybe it will still be a terrible idea! Let's find out!

Shadowmoor - Goblins and Dwarves

Goblins were already varied on Lorwyn, with the boggarts having remarkably varied body types. This variety has only increased on Shadowmoor, with the boggarts being joined by hobgoblins, spriggans and redcaps.

Shadowmoor - Elves and Hags

On Lorwyn, the elves considered themselves the most beautiful and therefore the best beings on the plane. After the Great Aurora, they are now alone in an ugly plane, struggling to survive and defending any beauty that remains.

Shadowmoor - Faeries and Ouphes

For reasons unknown to most, the Great Aurora seems to have left the Faeries unchanged. Few would guess that it was Oona, the Queen of the Fae, that caused the Aurora and manipulates the world to stay in power.

Shadowmoor - Merrow and Selkie

Cunning and friendly, the merrow were traders and explorers on Lorwyn. In Shadowmoor, their cunning is twisted to darker causes, and they have become pirates and raiders. Hit the jump to read more!

The Schools of Magic - Elves in Lorwyn

Arrogant and xenophobic, the elves of Lorwyn take many of the common elven traits to the extreme. Confident in their own beauty, they believe everything that is not as beautiful, which is to say everything else, has no right to live, and therefore only survives through what they view as their benevolence. Of course, there are some things that are simply too hideous to be allowed to live. These beings, deemed eyeblights, are hunted down and killed. Naturally, all of this leads to some friction with the other races. Hit the jump to see how the elves interact with the rest of the world.

The Schools of Magic - Green, Part 2: New Phyrexia

Phyrexians practice a more aggressive form of Green magic than is standard, believing that only in conflict can a creature prove its worth. It is because of this that they focus entirely on predators and the idea of survival of the fittest.
