Beginner Duel Decks: Wild vs. Civilized
I recently saw a post on the forums (http://forums.mtgcardsmith.com/discussion/comment/25190/#Comment_25190) asking people how they try to teach others magic. As soon as I read some of the replies, I realized how ineffective my ways were. I had the idea to make duel decks to help with teaching people, and I would use my own custom cards to make it a bit more fun. I would appreciate your help if you could give me ideas and/or card suggestions.
For these duel decks, I want to keep everything as simple as it can be, so once a player has "the jist" of what to do in magic, they can use these decks as practice. It is also a great way to introduce keywords such as flying, reach, etc.
The two decks I had the idea for was a mono white human deck, vs. a green/red "monster deck". The monster deck focuses on bigger creatures in play, while the human deck has a weenie playstyle, with some utility to help deal with big creatures from the other deck.
For submissions I will take anything, however the simpler designs would be better. Here are some examples I recommend looking at. Thanks!

Just curious what your opinions on this card is: http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/flamegorger
I tried to make a bomb card for the duel decks, but I might have gone a little too far. Thoughts?
Lost cleric. Tell me if it's to op.
Thanks for the advice on Flamegorger ZendikarIncarnate, I must remind you that Flamegorger gets the counters before dealing damage, so the unblockable idea won't really work. And I really like your card!
