MTG Salvation

Yeah. I was thinking of trying her out as a 1 of in the deck

Any thoughts on Liliana Vess? Sorry if this has been asked before. Seems decent in a control deck.

Congrats Andrew/JadeTiger, you are my hero. I was planning on going to SCG Baltimore and running G/W Aggro, based on a similar list you had posted a while back with a few m15 changes (not much) after having alot of luck with the deck. Last minute plans failed though, and wasn't able to go. When I saw the decklists on SCG website I was so happy to see GW aggro near the top.

One question would be why the changes on Advent and Brimaz? Metacall?

I agree with LinkChmofsky. While Preeminent Captain is good, I don't think hes great. Hes a really interesting card, but not enough good soliders to support it. I've been playing alot of Selesyna Aggro and have found times where if I had dropped him on t3 I probably wouldn't much to trigger off from him next except maybe Brimaz or Loxodon Smiter, and thats provided I'd have it hand too. The synergy with Brimaz is also pretty bad.

Reclamation Sage and Back to Nature are great for SB cards. Preeminent Captain might be good.

I think I said this before but I don't understand why you'd play a Mystic in an aggro shell. All this does is keep you from consistently getting in early damage without good one drops. My highest costing card is Advent of the Wurm. Especially cutting 2 soldiers for the Mystic, I mean, why? And especially playing Ajani MoH, I'd rather play Caller of the Pride as he costs 2 less and has two great ability's to help build up a dude or simply get straight through to the opponent. Surprised to see neither of those cards in the decklist or even Brimaz. Call of the Conclave is interesting though, especially with Rootborn Defenses main boarded. Weird to see Mutavault too. Surprised to see this decklist in the top 8, congrats to him.

No Thragtusk 0/10

how to fix standard:

replace khans with the entire Innistrad block reprinted!

Yeah!

(honestly I'd be fine with it)

Hmm, I'll try Trostani out. I actually took out the three planeswalkers and added 2 Garruk, Caller of Beasts, mainly for his +1, since it'll be incredibly good just for finding threats quickly once you land him. As for Angel of Serenity, as much as I love it, I feel as if its too slow at 7cmc. Sure it can be a blowout, but it also comes late. Against aggro, you either play it or you don't. It also not something you'll likely chord for. Believe me, I love the card, played 4 of them when Junk Rites was around, but its much harder to play when you always have to hardcast it. Landing a Blood Baron or Archangel of Thune, however, is very beneficial and can turn tides quickly. I appreciate your thoughts, maybe I will try the Angel as 1 of.

Rampant Growth would be cool too.

Does Birds of Paradise still fit?

My friend and I have been play testing a deck similar to this, essentially a "toolbox deck". We playtested it a bunch last night, against decks such as mono-black and and mono red aggro. The problem at the moment is that the deck is simply too slow. We do not have birthing pod, an essential card to making something like this efficient, and Yisan is too slow. Chord is great but we found alot of times you either cord for three or four (maybe) if you want to get things out quickly. The thing with the deck is that you can't rely on the 1 ofs in the deck, much like Melira Pod, or the Chords. Sometimes, you need to transform the deck into a straight beatdown deck.

Heres my decklist I've been playing with, far from finished:



A card I kind of want to test is simply Centaur Healer, maybe even as a 4 of, or maybe Loxodon Smiter. Something that will hold the line of defense for a while until I can drop something really nice onto the field.

your attacking with polukarnous? Let me just chord for my hornet nest real quick... ah yeah here it is, I'll get 5 DEATHTOUCH FLYERS THANK YOU

I didnt see this posted, here is the Game Day Playmat:

Nighthawk would be sweet.

So would Ancient Ziggurat.
