First strikers and skullcracks are my answer to thraggythraggy

If I lose momentum early I'm fine with calling it a loss, rather than compromise my strategy for "safety" of being able to win later

If I absolutely had to have a five drop I'd go Silverheart again because it bound to a beastmaster > maws 5 damage.


I'll try some Cacklers, dunno why I forgot them. Nobles might be better

A quick browing of all green, red, and green/red instants and sorceries with converted mana cost four or less that are standard legal says that's going to be a weakness.

Its not actually a weakness. Indestructible creatures aren't exactly common, indestructible blockers even less so. You just trample over the ones that do exist.

Predator Ooze, but I was more mad that I was up against a netdeck with both versions of Garruk and I didn't even have access to tragic slips in my RB deck and it stomped me T_T

Also Falkenrath Aristocrat I guess.

Pit fighting is pretty situational and always comes in handy in different ways. One of the ways I'm planning on using it is after my raiders gets counters for being sideways before they declare blockers, just instagib some troublesome fuck

what's the problem? You thought up a pretty nice deck that someone experienced thought of as well. Since he published it in some way, he probably knows what he's doing, so... so are you.

You ask here for advice, and that's the internet as well. You could also look at his deck for the same thing.

For example, he's apparently of the opinion that rancor is so strong it should be in the main deck, in stead of the side board. It is a pretty cool card, you could perhaps consider that you could make the same choice.

It was just sarcastic ffs. Like "here I thought I was original but nopez everyone's thought of everything, heh"

I didn't have it in the main at first because of Domri and I didn't want to draw it

I also don't see how much it does for my deck. My creatures are supposed to already be above the curve and I have trample when I need it on blood rush. It just seems like another one of those "This is a good value card, you need to have it if youre in this color or youre dum" Which is not the kind of deck I want to make, as those decks have DEFINITELY already been made as the toptierz "all good value cards thrown together" decks.

I'll probably try to pickup some Wolf runs that I KNOW RECK HAS WINKWINK, but I dont know if Im sold on the Boars since I got enough 2 drops that are sexy and humans are my theme with the mayor

It's something that speeds you up quickly, for not too much mana. In the end, you are trying to be a very quick deck. Further, trample on bloodrush isn't the same as trample forever unless your opponent does something about it. It allows you to beat down on decks that might try to stall you out, which is what you are trying to do, right?

I kind of know where Fate's coming from...right after I started playing, all I wanted to do was sit down and build decks and come up with ideas, so when I would get stomped by "netdecks", I would get really pissed off about it because it kind of kills the idea of creativity.

Granted, I don't think that way now.

I'm not. I was bitching that I didn't have an ANSWER to his deck, that was as cheap and common as tragic slip, that no one seems to have spares of around my shop
