The melee library decks series is an LXG initiative. We take cards from the club library, make decks from them. These decks are available to LXG members and come with a Magic booster for $6. Each deck is legal to play at the grand melee that runs each month. These decks make good starting points, and are a way of adding cards to your collection in a focused way.

Play ever-bigger creatures to beat your opponents with in the green and red decks focused on the beast creature type. The deck hits its stride at three mana and really kicks into gear once you hit five. The non-creature spells in the deck give you some interesting tricks to play, such as Galvanic Arc, an enchantment that gives a creature first strike, but the enchantment also deals three damage when it enters the battlefield. Deal even more damage by fetching back one of your more expensive creatures with Vengeful Rebirth, and finish off your victim with a mighty Krosan Cloudscraper!
