Veggie Zoo and Merfolks Too

Today was a great day for deck building. I was hanging out with Mark, DJ, and Nick, and all 3 of us had a great time doing some deck building. I put myself 3 cards (1 Awakening Zone, 2 Misty Rainforest) away from having a cool Polymorph deck, and Nick made a grixis mill deck, then cut red, then scrapped the whole deck, but Mark and DJ were the big guns in deck building today. Mark made a nasty Merfolk deck (currently 40 cards, soon to be 60 when the rest of the pieces come together) that gave him seemingly endless cards in hand and lands to play spells with. Ultimately I died when I had 2 6/6 unblockables, and a 6/6 flyer coming at me. DJ, on the other hand, is what we call insanely lucky. In 2 fat packs, he opened 6 mythics: 2x Vengevine, 2x Emrakul, Linvala, and Transcendant Master. He quickly proceeded to make a GW deck with Vengevine, Linvala, and the Transcendant Master. Mark and I helped him out to make it Naya. It was soon named Veggie Zoo. There are still a few cogs missing, but for now, it is very impressive.

Me: Izzet vs DJ: Veggie Zoo

I won the roll, and kept:

Magosi, the Waterveil (cut from the deck for islands as soon as the game ended)
Mountain
2x Lightning Bolt
Electrolyze
2x Time Warp

DJ also kept his opening hand and I went first with a Waterveil, facing off against DJ's plains.
Turn 2, [D - Magosi, the Waterveil] I played the second Waterveil, and DJ played an Evolving Wilds that became a Forest.
Turn 3, [D - Electrolyze] I played a mountain, and then electrolyzed DJ for 2 [D - Mountain]. DJ then played a plains, followed by harrow (sac plains) for Plains and a Forest. He tapped those 2 for an elvish visionary.
20 - 18
Turn 4, [D - Cascade Bluffs] I played the Cascade Bluffs, followed by another electrolyze to remove the visionary and deal one more damage to DJ. On his turn, DJ played a mountain followed by Ajani Goldmane, who used his +1 ability to gain 2 life.
20 - 19
Turn 5, [D - Ior Ruin Expedition] I played the Ior Ruin Expedition, followed by a mountain, and then passed the turn. DJ played 2 Wild Nacatls and a Kor Skyfisher. He then used Ajani's +1 to gain more life. At the end of his turn, I played 2 lightning bolts to clean off the Wild Nacatls.
20 - 21
Turn 6, [D - Burst Lightning] I played a Time Warp and took my second turn immediatly. On my second turn I drew and played a Howling Mine before passing the turn. DJ played an Evolving Wilds, which became a plains, and than the Transcendant Master, immediatly leveling it up 2 times. Ajani used his -1 ability to put a +1/+1 counter on his creatures and hit me for 3 with the Skyfisher.
17 - 21
Turn 7, [D - 2 Islands] I played an Island, then Time Warped again. [D - Searing Blaze, Ior Ruin Expedition] I cast the Ior Ruin Expedition, played an Island, and then cracked my first Ior Ruin Expedition for a Divination and another Island. I then cast Searing Blaze and Burst Lightning to kill the Transcendant Master. DJ used his turn to use Ajani's +1 ability, play a mountain, and cast Linvala. He then continued to attack me with the Skyfisher.
14 - 20
Turn 8, [D - Ior Ruin Expedition, Cast Through Time] I played the Ior Ruin and an Island, and then cast Divination, getting me Time Warp and a Mountain. Dj played Garruk Wildspeaker, used his +1, and then cast Vengevine. Terramorphic expanse grabbed a Forest, and Ajani used his -1 to pump the whole team who proceded to attack me down to 1 life. (Where is my near death experience?!)
1 - 20
Turn 9, [D - Ponder, Burst Lightning] I played a mountain, cracked the Ior RUin Expedition for Searing Blaze and a Mind Spring. Ponder got me a Pyromancer's Ascension. I then Time Warped, Searing Blazed, Burst Lightninged, and Mind Sprung for 3 all for naught. I resigned.

I played it with my Vampire deck, which got land skrewed, and led to DJ going up 6 - 45 before I conceded thanks to a level 12 Transcendant Master. The Bant Allies Deck and Big Green deck both also faced off against the Vangeful Vines, but I won both games due to misplays.

Overall, I think it is a really nice deck, and with a few more cards (I'm looking at your ranger of Eos) it will be superb. Mark is making an MTG blog, I will post up the link to his once I learn it. Expect some polymorph on my next post, I'm getting excited for it! Until then, stay classy.
