Theme Deck Review Compendium: Urza’s Legacy “Crusher”

Let’s get cracking with some of these again. Been a while.


Crusher

A green and white deck which aims to do exactly what the name suggests.

There are still a few misguided people in the world who believe size doesn’t matter. If one of them runs up against you while you’re playing “Crusher,” show them the error of their ways as you trample over their hapless defenders with your army of muscle.

The deck really did completely suck rancid lemons when gaming against almost everyone else we played but we still loved it and it is still mostly all together even today. The very first modification we made was making this deck mono-green and adding a few Titania’s Chosen into the mix.

Bit of hyperbole here, I think. If it had been that dreadful would they be making a nostalgia post about it?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was the deck that got me started on Magic. I’ve always maintained a G/W deck over the years, and I’ve always kept a few of these cards in it… especially Rancor.

Playing Rancor and Radiant’s Judgement on an opponent’s creature was the first combo I ever learned, way back in the day.

I tried to use the “copy post” function to do this post but it was more effort than it was worth. Not that this is of interest to anyone. Back to just copying a template from docs next time.

As always, if you played with or against this deck and wanted to share some thoughts: please do! Always stoked to be made aware of new (to me) content so if there’s anything I’ve missed… point me in that direction!
