A green-blue snake deck who TAP opponents creatures
Deck Help forum

Hi everybody, i'm new in this forum, and my first thread is about my first deck. The idea of this deck is based on Kaminagawa's edition Snakes, who most of them, when inflict damage to a creature, make them TAP and don't UNtap during the opponent's turn, plus using some blu sorcery or instant who can TAP other creatures. The ultimate combo that i have in mind for this deck is to play Shisato, Whispering Hunter , maybe equipped with some Aura or Equipment who give him the protection from abilites or spell, or being unblockable (like Whispersilk Cloack), and then strat attack the opponent, using blue Istant or Sorcery to TAP his creatures (who will not UNtap until Shisato will be able to continue to attack), maybe with Nature's Will in play to also TAP his lands.
The problem is...what type of creatures and spell i need to have, to achieve this result? I've already have this deck, with some snakes who give me mana, like Sakura-Tribe Elder , Coiling Oracle or Orochi Sustainer , some combat snakes like Matsu-Tribe Sniper , Matsu-Tribe Decoy , Sosuke, Son of Seshiro , Seshiro the Anointed , Patagia Viper , Lorescale Coatl or some big snakes like Patron of the Orochi or Hooded Hydra ... but how can i build my deck to work fine? With which type and how many TAP spells?
If you have any suggestions, i'm all listening
Actually, tapping down Emrakul, the Aeons Torn with Matsu-Tribe Sniper totally works. Emrakul has protection from colored spells. Once your sniper is on the battlefield, it no longer counts as a spell but is instead a permanent, and Emrakul’s protection no longer matters.

you don't need to capitalize "tap" every time. but why bother tapping down an opponents creature when you can aim for just removing them entirely? that would be way more efficient. you can splash black for removal spells like Assassin's Trophy . or if lands are too expensive to add a third color, use counterspells like Mana Leak , or other creature removal like Beast Within or Ambush Viper

Scarlet2009 Well, i'm bothering tapping creatures because that's how i want to create the deck, combining tapping effects of some Snakes, with some blue tapping spells, and then using Shisato, Whispering Hunter to block the opponent. I just love the idea to create this control

note that Gigadrowse can even tap down your opponents lands during their upkeep (before they draw for turn) and this can prevent your opponent from casting spells during their turn unless they have an instant speed response to you casting the Gigadrowse .
Gigadrowse in a multi-colored deck will require a lot of good dual lands to really shine though. you'll want Misty Rainforest , Prismatic Vista , Breeding Pool , and possibly Hinterland Harbor . Waterlogged Grove would also be a good choice.

Funkydiscogod But Emrakul, the Aeons Torn have protection from alla colors...so i can't use my Matsu-Tribe Sniper to TAP it.
Anyway, thanks a lot for your advises
