Deckbuilder's Challenge LXXXVII: Now that's a challenge!

Remember, you can just check the deckbuilder's challenges here: magicseteditor.boards.net/board/23/deckbuilders-challenge

I had some trouble thinking about how I wanted to make this deck interesting which is why I didn't submit it to its original challenge. Decided it was better to show off the novelty of it than never, so I've remade it as a budget deck that goes all-in on getting the core interactions down as much as possible.

melono - This is a really good challenge idea. Feels like this would be great to have happen every 10-20 challenges or so.

Wild Constrictors

Decklist

(Budget, Squaring the Circle)


A casual deck based on the old Wild Mongrel + Basking Rootwalla combo with a few twists:

We can run 8 Mongrels and Rootwallas now, thanks to Noose Constrictor and Blazing Rootwalla.

We can play Staying Power, which basically turns temporary "until end of turn" P/T boosts into permanent ones, and suddenly turn our aggro creatures that might be falling off into massive lategame mana/card sinks.

For non-budget version, replace the lands with a proper fetch manabase. For ultra-budget, use cheaper removal spells like Strangle, and/or cut Red entirely and try something like Arrogant Wurm
