Promise my next post is going to be something other than just a cut and paste type jobby. 🙂

Don’t you hate it when you manage to get out a really big creature early, only to lose it to Terror? Then “Fiendish Nature” is the deck for you. Wipe that smirk off your opponent’s face by bringing that same creature right back!

Fiendish Nature from Urza’s Destiny was by far my favorite precon. You could ‘combo out’ and Pattern of Rebirth out an Ancient Silverback, or just keep gaining incremental card advantage through all the recursion and comes into play and leaves play effects.

Urza’s Destiny Fiendish Nature Preconstructed Theme Deck (MTG)
Of all the pre-constructed decks I have bought (and I’ve been playing MTG since the mid nineties) this is the one that really sticks out in my mind. First of all, I liked the idea of pre-constructed decks since they were not overly powerful (since I am not and never will be interested in tournament level play) but with a little tweaking, this thing can be a monster of a deck! Also, this was the “turning point” in Magic where supposed “enemy colors” were combined to produce some really cool and fun to play decks. This deck is super cool because it breaks the ground (or at least it did for me) for combining the regenerative abilities of green and black and relies heavily on bringing big creatures back from the graveyard. In the next few years, I witnessed very precise and finely tuned variations of this theme but for me, this is the deck that started it all. Really awesome vintage deck that requires just a little tweaking to be truly awesome once it gets going. Take out a few of the “fluff” cards and throw in some others that take advantage of the discard and graveyard pillaging this deck has to offer and you’ve got a deck that plays really smooth (still) and is a ton of fun to play.
