Five With Flores: PT Berlin Preview - Domain Zoo

http://fivewithflores.com/2008/10/pt-berlin-preview-domain-zoo/ This is the second video in anticipation of PT Berlin 2008. The deck in question is Extended Domain Zoo. "Five With Flores: PT Berlin Preview - Domain Zoo" takes us from a brief history of the archetype, to a Magic Online deck editor updating the deck for Shards of Alara, then finally a battle against the other main offensive deck of the format, Ravager Affinity.

So you can use tribal flames with rav lands?

[fivewithflores]

Yes. A Temple Garden, for instance, counts as both a Plains and a Forest.

Glad you liked it :)

Flores certainly loves his bant charms (probably for good reason).

Watchwolf has been a part of the Zoo strategy in the past, and Woolly Thoctar may be in the future, but recently with the release of such cards as Wild Nacatl, it simply is not efficient enough to warrant a slot. At the 2 mana slot most Zoo decks want either a very efficient creature (Tarmogoyf), removal/burn (Lightning Helix, Tribal Flames), or a utility creature (Tidehollow Sculler).

Tribal Flames looks for basic land TYPES not basic lands. So, Temple Garden has two basic land types (Forest and Plains) even if it's not a basic land.

so this deck doesn't run watchwolf or wooly thoctar?

[czeluff]

you are horribly mistaken. Taphael Levy leveraged Tribal Flames with Rav Lands in two PTQs and won em both. Note the rav land subtypes. For example, Watery Grave = Island Swamp. it says it right on the card.

To fivewithflores ......rav lands are not Basic lands the tribal flames card looks for basic lands ...Duel lands like rav lands and old school duels are nuon basic lands ...

[DaleAndAimee]

Good stuff. Text decklists would be much appreciated, though.

whats the plan versus blood moon/magus of the moon? just have guys out prior and win with burn? Have you considered slaughter pact main to deal with the magus (more likley played of the two) and give the deck reach and speed versus a tarmogoyf that would normally outclass all your creatures.
