A Prayer Won’t Help You Win Against This Green Commander Deck

1. General: Silvos, Rogue Elemental (rare)

• Costs 6 mana – I have several cards to speed the play of this card that give mana, too many to get rid of. Plus, I have a lot of heavy hitters. One would have to virtually get rid of every card on every turn to combat this deck. However, if they did that, then they would have nothing to win with. This deck hits you like a truck so fast!
• 8/5 – awesome power/toughness to mana ratios are key to this deck
• Trample – 21 general damage done with ease, given that its power is 8. Trample is also a theme to this deck.
• Regenerate – Makes this card nearly impossible to get rid of. You are stuck with it

• Works for Gigantomancer tokens or mana
• 3/3

1. Wolfbriar Elemental (rare)

• Costs 4+ mana
