4 Hinterland Harbor
4 Woodland Cemetry
4 Darkslick Shore
2 Swamp
2 Island
7 Forest
I'm desperate to fit in a buried ruins or 2, but the base is tricky as it is...Darkslick could be Drowned Catacomb, but 4 lands to turn it on is low odds, whereas the potential for an early ponder is a bit more valuable.
4 Birds of Paradise
2 Llanowar Elf
4 Ponder
Bit of searching, upping of potential for a turn 2 pod under counters. If control is real post rotation, 3 elves becomes likely.
1 Spellskite
2 Phantasmal Image
2 Viridian Emissary
1 Perilous Myr
Myr to hose aggro a bit, Emissary is a nice bit of land fixing. Wouldn't mind a 3rd copy, but it's tricky to fix! 61 cards ala Ruel's Bant Pod or send Kite to the board?
2 Phyrexian Rager
1 Sylvok Replica
1 Glissa, the traitor
Glissa has so much synergy and is unbeatable in combat. Rager is more card advantage, again I think 3 would be very handy!!
2 Phyrexian Rager
1 Sylvok Replica
1 Glissa, the traitor
4 Birthing Pod
2 Phyrexian Metamorph
1 Solemn Simulacrum
1 Entomber Exarch
1 Skinrender
3 Acidic Slime
1 Hollowhenge Scavenger
Midrange utility, does plenty to get value and interfere with their plans.
1 Wurmcoil Engine
1 Massacre Wurm
1 Brutalizer Exarch
1 Sheoldred, whispering one
Finishers. Brutalizer is fantastic utility if we're not ready to finish, both the wurms are incredibly powerful.
So to summarise the deck:
Sideboard is non-existent currently, but Frost Titan, Thrun, Skinrender, Extra Perilous Myr, Spellskite are all up for debate, plus we could get access to plenty of utility spells

Posted Sep 6, 2011I do like the look of the 6 cost demon, I coudl see him maybe replacing the exarch, but each of those 6 drops fill their own role. I'm playing around with the board but can't think of many situations where I'd board the demon in over frost titan for example, but plenty where titan is the better call?
I know with hollowhenge, but aggro is enough of a threat that I'd want to stabilise. 1 copy in a toolbox feels right, even if I'd prefer the life gain lower down but don't rate peace strider! Gonna miss Obstinate Baloth.
Currently tweaked the deck by removing one acidic slime for another Rager since 4 5 drops is a little greedy. I've also currently added in the Emissary as a 61st card because I'm struggling to cut anything else! I could see removing a Metamorph maybe, but that's more something I'm holding out on an option at 4 drop before I do (Thrun and Master Thief made board but too cute for main).
Skaarg is currently pencilled in as sideboard. He's a brute force approach which only feels relevant for walling aggro as it currently stands.
