I'm going to have to second Groundshaker Sliver, Trample to slivers on a 5/5 body for 7 is just absolutely unplayable even if you have Manaweft mainly because that big sliver drop could easily be Megantic which even in limited is barely playable.
I recently left my playmat in the hands of a good friend of mine and while his friend was over playing coffee spilled on the table and got the corner of my mat a little dirty.
Will gently scrubbing the stain out with water cause any discoloration to the mat or do I want to use something else?
Reaper is incredibly underrated, and that is my honest opinion.
At 4/5 it is incredibly resilient, it's impervious to Mizzium Mortars, it's immune to Selesnya Charm. It avoids Doom Blade and Ultimate Price only getting caught by Abrupt Decay, Downfall and Elspeth's -3. Most decks that run it already have threats enough to make not immediately killing a decision to make, but even if you are worried it won't survive you can simply leave 2 mana. On top of all that when a creature dies you scry? It can improve Jund or Golgari Aggro's topdecking infinitely.
Reaper is a strong card right now, and is rather underrated but it shouldn't be something you build your deck around. Reaper is just that; a strong guy that demands some sort of answer or else it will hurt you.
And I'm experiencing that almost weekly, I mean I have two local game stores but the other front has considerably worse players and I wash 4-0 and go at worst 3-1. I mean I've taken games from Control and MBD but it's stressful and just not fun because it's 3 straight games of attrition. I will be so happy when Verdict and DSphere rotate out.
Currently I have 2 decks for standard, a rather run of the mill MUD deck and a Selesnya Aggro deck that is nearing completion. Now the primary issue is my playing field is overrun with Gruul Monsters decks, MBD and UW Control. I can't figure out for the life of me what I'm doing wrong when I play MUD or if it's just a poor playing field for MUD, I don't know. My MUD deck is pretty standard with a sideboard that attempts to fit the store's players.
I run 4 Gainsay, 2 Negate, 3 Dissolve, Pithing Needle, Ratchet Bomb, Jace; Architect of Thought, 2 Domestication, Aetherling.
I can't for the love me crack the meta game; sure sometimes I'll get seeded well and play 2 of our Gruul Decks and win before they become a true threat but then I get seeded into MBD and UW/x Control matchups and it's just downhill from there.
I don't know whether to stick it out with MUD or just put it on hold until Journey and play Selesnya Aggro until then; I mean Selesnya has answers to those decks in Charms, Hydras, or hell even Smiters and straight combat tricks. But it's just a tough choice because I've invested a lot of time and effort into the matchups and ever since born hit the only matchup that feels even favorable for me is White Weenie and Gruul Monsters and even Gruul Monsters is a toss up.
