Rally could be a bit slow + you already have Krenko's Command generating tokens at a much lower price. I really do like Krenko in this though. Also agree that Skirsdag Cultist is a bit slow and there are much better sac engine for this deck. I am kinda thinking Altar's Reap needs to be a 3 or 4 of in this deck. Could really help dig into the deck and is another morbid trigger. Also with all the morbid triggers Brimstone Volley or Tragic Slip could find a nice home in this deck. Ill post my list after tonights game.
Thanks! I really want to replace Arsonist with Gravecrawler ><.
I don't know about Gravecrawler in this deck. He is really good when you have Zombies on the field to recast him. But if you don't he just kind of sits in the graveyard. Arsonist isn't a bad 1 drop. Nice thing about him is when you sac him you can ping for one damage on the other player or a creature could get a 2 for 1 if you sac him with Bone Splinters targeting a say 2/2 then ping a 1/1 with Arsonist as he dies.
Seems like Krenko, Mob Boss to make more dudes that can be sacrificed would be good in this deck. Also Arms Dealer could be good as a Morbid trigger to get the 5/5 demons out.
With so many 2 of in the deck wont it be hard to draw into what you need? I am not sure but would you not be better off shaving the deck down so you can draw into what you need more reliably? Just seems that by trying to fight everything you are fighting with your own deck.
I really don't want to spend any cash yet. I want to see if she likes the game and make sure she can run the deck first. I know a lot of new players shy away from shock lands I did and I am still new to the game. But If she gets into the game and likes the deck I am sure some will be got before her first FNM to make the deck run better.
faith's shield? it can push that crucial last damage through, or protect your creatures from removal
I did not think of that. I love it in my humans deck for just that reason. Ill have to find a way to fit them in.
I think I was thinking of Fiend Hunter as I was just working with my Humans deck so ya O ring should be easy to cast. Thank you for all the help everyone. Im taking this deck to moms tonight to teach her how to play. I can't wait to see her kick some butt with this deck. Lol I never thought I would be building a deck for my mom.
I don't like Vexing Devil people are just going to take the 4 to the face in the early game. Later they will just remove him. You already have spear and pillar to get in the damage you need to cast Rakdos so Devil will not be needed there. I would think of replacing the Devils with 4 Rakdos Cackler or Rakdos Shred-Freak. Mite drop the rats to go with each Cackler and Freak. Would really speed things up.
OP said she's 68 - I guess she could fit that description if that's how you roll...
OT, GW Aggro is a solid deck and can utilize all those choices, in addition, it's fairly easy to build and play.
The only real concern I have with your decklist is that 8 dorks, 24 lands seems a bit high - even with 7 5cc spells. I think you could probably afford to drop 2 of one of those in favor of some board control like Oblivion Ring.
What if I went with something like this. I only have 23 land. I just put one too many plains in the list. I am wondering if getting the 2ww for getting O ring out will be a pain. I can play test it a bit and see. thanks.
So this is what I could put together with what we have. Me and a friend played around with it and it did really good. I am not so sure about making her a sideboard. I really think it mite make things too difficult for her first time playing the game. The deck seemed to do really good by its self so she could have a lot of fun just hanging out and playing the game.
The thing that is going to suck is I am going to build her a deck then she is just going to stomp me. lol I can see it now. Mom starts playing spends cash on cards then just starts stomping me every game. Oh well Ill be ok with that.
Some really good ideas here thanks. I just think its going to be fun to see a 68 year old lady walk up into the card shop and stomp a few people. Can't wait to get this deck done and get to testing it out with her. Ill post a list once I take all the ideas posted here and talk to her about this deck.
When werewolves flip they are no longer human werewolves so Immerwolf lets your werewolves stay that way after they flip. Now if you are wanting them to stay human werewolves I don't know how to do that and not really sure why you would want to.
