Deck Price Tag: Vengevine Naya (Standard)

May 18, 2010 | Posted by Dee

Vengevine Naya is my favorite new deck because it’s still under the radar and not as expensive as popular top decks like UW Control, Super Friends (UWR Planeswalkers), and Mythic Conscription.

Also, it did well last weekend at Nationals Qualifiers. Over 10 players qualified with it. One player who has been winning a lot with the deck on Magic Online says it doesn’t have any bad matchups expect Time Sieve.

Vengevine is great against Jund because you can discard it to Blightning. Before Rise of the Eldrazi, Jund had a good matchup against Naya but Vengevine makes the matchup closer. Also, Vengevine is good against Wall of Omens, planeswalkers, and mass removal like Day of Judgment. These cards have become popular.

I’ve chose the deck Gavin Verhey played, which was built by GerryT. I like his version because it only plays two non creature spells main deck to maximize Vengevine. Most of the time Bloodbraid Elf will trigger the green mythic rare.

    Very helpful, and as general note to anyone looking to build one of these decks, make sure to ask around your team/playgroup for some of the cards. You may find yourself able to cut the price in half! You won’t OWN the cards but you aren’t stuck with the investment risk either.

    Good advice. Borrowing cards is one of the best ways to keep the costs down. Plus, you’re socializing with other people, which can help you become a better player.

    Love the build… Why misty rainforest???????

    For Lotus Cobra and Knight of the Reliquary. Fetchlands add an extra mana with Cobra and make the Knight bigger. You can substitute it with Verdant Catacombs. Hope that helps :)

    Yeah that helps a lot friend ; )… I already had verdant and was asking myself why verdant over misty?? I really just didn’t wanna go spend more $$$ than I had to… Everyone can understand that… Haha…
