Devouring Alara Reborn

Ever since the weekend of the alara reborn prerelease events, I've been literally "brooding" over reasons why I should make a deck with Dragon Broodmother.


Here is my list I've come up with so far.

1. I got 2 foil broodmothers just for entering a couple events.
2. Its one of the best looking prerelease cards I've seen.
3. Who doesn't like being able to put dragons after dragons into play?

So with all of those thoughts racing in my head after a full day of drafting and sealed events, I set down and looked through all the new cards I had got and picked out a few that seemed to have the most synergy.

Tukatongue Thallid
Creature - Fungus 1/1 Mana Cost: Card Text: When Tukatongue Thallid is put into a graveyard from play, put a 1/1 green Saproling creature token into play.

Gluttonous Slime

Creature - Ooze 2/2 Mana Cost: Card Text: Flash, Devour 1

Sprouting Thrinax

Creature — Lizard 3/3 Mana Cost: Card Text: When Sprouting Thrinax is put into a graveyard from play, put three 1/1 green Saproling creature tokens into play.

So with those cards set, I looked for more cards that would just add to the craziness. Believe it or not there are plenty of other cards I found that would work great in a mainly green and red deck. Here are some of them.

Caldera Hellion

Creature — Hellion 3/3 Mana Cost: Card Text: Devour 1 (As this comes into play, you may sacrifice any number of creatures. This creature comes into play with that many +1/+1 counters on it.) When Caldera Hellion comes into play, it deals 3 damage to each creature.

Scarland Thrinax
Creature — Lizard Mana Cost: Card Text: Sacrifice a creature: Put a +1/+1 counter on Scarland Thrinax.

Nantuko Husk

Creature — Zombie Insect Mana Cost: Card Text: Sacrifice a creature: Nantuko Husk gets +2/+2 until end of turn.

Putrid Leech

Creature — Zombie Leech Mana Cost: Card Text: Pay 2 life: Putrid Leech gets +2/+2 until end of turn. Play this ability only once each turn.

Goblin Assault

Enchantment Mana Cost: Card Text: At the beginning of your upkeep, put a 1/1 red Goblin creature token with haste into play. Goblin creatures attack each turn if able.

Eventually after a lot of play testing on MWS, I decided that I should either add bitterblossom or just give up on winning. heres the list I've settled on I need 4 cards to round out the side board.
