Bestial Strength

Garruk's HordeInto the Wilds
This intro deck is like no other. The non-foil rare is new and the foil rare, Garruk's Horde, is a reprint. It is a 7/7 with Trample, but you have to play with the top card of your library revealed. The good part is that you can cast the revealed card if it a creature. This is powerful if you have a lot of low-cost creatures. The second rare is Into the Wilds, which allows you to look at the top card of your library during your upkeep and play it if it is a land. This is awesome in the late game as it makes land drops improbable. Here is the final intro deck, Bestial Strength.

Death Reaper

Liliana's ReaverBogbrew Witch
The third M14 intro deck is Black/Red. The 2 rares are Liliana's Reaver and Bogbrew Witch. Liliana's Reaver is slightly like Ajani's Chosen because it can put creature tokens out. For 4 mana you get a 4/3 with Deathtouch. I like Deathtouch because it makes your opponents slightly less likely to attack. Also the Reaver puts a 2/2 black Zombie onto the battlefield whenever it deals combat damage to a player. So when it attacks, you are faced with a tough decision, have one of your creatures die or have your opponent get a 2/2 and you lose 4 life. The. second rare is Bogbrew Witch. This card is part of a three card cycle, including Bubbling Cauldron and Festering Newt. If you pay 2 mana and tap Bogbrew Witch, you search your library for Bubbling Cauldron or Festering Newt. These cards interact more though because if you pay 1 mana and tap Bubbling Cauldron you sacrifice Festering Newt (when you sacrifice Festering Newt target creature gets -4/-4 if you control Bubbling Cauldron) and each opponent loses 4 life and you gain however much life was lost that way. Death Reaper is a fun deck and I hope you enjoy it.

What is your Favorite #6 Leyline

In Magic 2011 and Guildpact there was a rare cycle of enchantments. These enchantments have 3 things in common. First, the name is always Leyline of Something. Second, they all cost 2 any color mana and 2 mana of their color. Third, if you have one in your opening hand you may put it into play before the game starts. I think that this is very creative and like it a lot. Remember to comment and tell us what your favorite Leyline is.
