I put RUG together to try in some FNMs soon and threw Frosty in there to see how he played. Hoping he does well but I'm expecting to turn him into a Wurmcoil. Thanks for the reminder that he can squat on Shrines though.
lol, i had an opponent throw his Fiend Hunter on my Morkrut Banshee, seemingly in desperation. i had already killed his Stitched Drake when the Banshee entered play. hitting the Hunter with Brimstone Volley and taking out his next best dude resulted in him scooping.
I saw these in the same p1p2 and had trouble deciding. I went with Rebuke thinking that the lower CMC would be worth it and also rembering that any creature an opponent has against me with power 4+ is often turning sideways anyway.
2nd place sealed with B/R. really underwhelming pool but i had decent tempo and barely enough removal. i was so jealous of the guys that got good white cards. my white was garbage. the two W/U guys i played had sick card pools. i probably wouldn't have beaten either of them had they not made some mistakes.

Someone hatedrafted Olivia at my table at the midnight draft, I was playing B/R. Coulda killed that guy. I got stuck with a bunch of Zombie cards that did me exactly NO GOOD.
that would be rare drafting though wouldn't it? not at all an uncommon thing.
Skinrender goes from being a hill giant to a bear but still throws those counters on target annoying creature.
and Myr Superion is a definite 4-of for Heartless Summoning. turn 2 heartless, put every Superion in your hand into play, rawr. he even recurrs with Glissa.
need one more quality 1-drop like Diregraf Ghoul before you can really go agro with zombie tribe, i think. a decade or so ago we had Carnophage and Sarcomancy for early beaters to race with. i expect (hope) we'll see more decent 1 and 2 drop zombies to make this happen. just can't dump them all in the first set.
i've been thinking about it too but i haven't seen anything yet that works with it in any amazing way. it can fuel Skaab Ruinator type stuff if you want to add green to make it happen. Mulch can bury your Snapcaster Mages as well as fuel them, so idk. just not seeing it yet.
It may be a bit 'spensive, but Contagion Clasp is another way to wipe out things like Invisible Stalkerwithout nuking anything of your own. It's also mildly more flexible since you can tutor it with Treasure Mage and it only requires colorless mana.
Can't tell if you're trollin or serious, but I'll take the bait and correct you anyway.
Contagion Clasp cannot target an opponent's Invisible Stalker due to Hexproof. Treasure Mage cannot search for Contagion Clasp as the cmc of the Clasp is not "6 or greater".
Wouldn't the land base benefit from a couple copies of Buried Ruin? Every version has artifacts worth returning to hand: Mimic Vat, Wurmcoil, Lashwrithe, SSimulacrum, etc. Same for Inkmoth Nexus. A couple copies wouldn't mess with your swamp count all that much and Inkmoth couples marvelously with Lashwrithe to end the game with a single attack phase.

ah! makes a ton more sense then. yeah, very expensive but it will totally work.
