I been workin' on a Lorwyn/Shadowmoor block deck today. We are having a block constructed tourney at fnm in 2 weeks. Here the best Aggro that I have come up with:
I honestly think that Deadwood is one of the worst shows ever aired.
Cohort is ridiculously bad in Constructed, because FS is generally a completely irrelevant ability. Devoted Druid doesn't seem entirely necessary when you curve out at 4. I'm pretty sure that your deck should have Garruk, also.
And uhhh, no way is 20 land enough, it's impossible. You need at least 22, probably 23-24.
I'd suggest:
-4 Cohort,
-1 Devoted Druid
+3 Garruk
+2 land.
Actually, your decklist already has 22 land, you just fail at typing. 22 land might be enough, in which case you could just go -4 Cohort, +3 Garruk, +1 Colossus...or -4 Cohort, -1 Flame Javelin, +3 Garruk, +2 Tower Above(Tower Above is likely to be a complete beating in Block).
I created the card, and named the card, but I am not in the Mono-U clan. So I checked to see what clan was...working on it so I could see what idea y'all had. Although all the other clans welcomed visitors, even when I commented on the clan contest cards.
From what I understand, clans are allowed helping one another with this particular contest, since our final score is dependent upon how the groups our cards are in fare.
However, this sentence caught my eye. While we are allowed getting help from people outside of our clan, I didn't think that we were allowed to have a non-clan member do the whole thing.
(Sorry to jump in like this, but this issue is of interest to a few of you so I thought it best to post it here instead of in the council thread or PMs. For anyone who doesn't know I am organizing the third clan contest.)
When I saw what Irmis posted I was a little taken aback. I have been following the clan threads and there was a lot of discussion and back and forth on the mono-blue contribution. It was very much a number of ideas that flowed in and out from the clan members (and Irmis) to make the final card. But like I said, I was surprised and looked over their thread to check again.
I also thought that Irmis was a member of Mono-blue, not that it really matters. In a normal contest, yeah, that would be a big deal, but since this is a contest about cooperation, it's not an issue. What would be an issue is if Irmis actually did what he implied he did (made the card from start to finish) because that would consitute plagiarism, which is forbidden by the rules of this contest.
What is fine is for someone to give an idea, a direction, pieces of the card, or a complete card that starts/is part of the discussion. What wouldn't be acceptable would be for a clan to use a card made by a non-member without changing it in a non-trivial way. And Mono Blue didn't do that, though I will post something clarifying this in the mono-blue thread.
Happy Birthday, Yukora. You've grown alot in the last year, including(apparently :P) graduating with honors! Outstanding. Treat yourself to a great day.
Damn Yuks!!! Congrats on the "with honors" thingy...I guess the Men in Black won't be hiring you though!:p
Have fun today and act like an adult for cryin' out loud!
Nick....pretty active!

After talking with Jonski I decided to go with Tattermunge Witch in place of Mudbrawler Cohort, unless anyone has any better ideas for a cheap lor/shm block aggro creature i haven't already got.
The deck really does need Garruk, and it's not like you have some problem with buying expensive cards..
Apparently you have a fan, Brian. Oh yeah, btw, RobRoy voted me because you told him to harass me. And apparently is, like so many others, under the strange impression that you are a girl.
Hallo Cuber's Girl. As you can see, we are already implementing the 'sexier-dressed Called' plan we discussed
Cyan, I can't count how many times in mafia games the conversation hasdegenerated into a discussion of my gender. When I made a thread @MT about becoming a father, people (especially good ol' Grakthis) came in to it to violently argue that I'd been a girl all along + was faking the dad thing. Like I've said before, for whatever reason, I tend to get gendered a girl. When Aurelia + I first met people told her, "Don't talk to that girl! She's on drugs!"
+ yeah, I told RR + Pale to give you hell
Yukes, congratulations + happy day to ya's. Look forward to you gettin' in here a bit more now that Intense School Daze have come + gone . . . so when does Uni start?
They talked briefly, those Simic have just gone to ground. . . it's uujuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu <- bug in key >_<
it's only mid-week. Plenty of time -_-"
I have once again PM'd Urzassedatives to let him know he is neglecting us + we are wilting like so much forgotten houseplants whose owner has gone on holibags + did not put us in the bathtub first to preserve our precious moistures ;_;

I think I'll add that you need to make sure those Garruks are foil.
@Yuk, Happy Birthday. Hope it went well.
@Diggy, did you need help in chemistry? Its been a while but I do have a minor in chemistry that I never used. And don't believe Cyan about not using math, I was stuck doing water inventory measurements out in the mojave desert wishing I remembered basic trigonometry.
Anyone else have a hard time reading brandicarl's post? Guess I'm not Leet enough.
Great Pics Daron. Really fun to see. Nice fire shots too. I've had problems exploding beens though, they tend to burn the skin and burn holes in clothing. Doing that in a place as dry as what I'm typically used to and you can start a forest fire. Not sure how dry it is up in Canada though.
I'll post more whenever I can.
Cheers,
Daggertooth

And I guess that I'm a lucky one for the truth of what I know. For my heart had not denied me and I have somewhere to go. I shall never be a prisoner of steel and glass and stone. If I leave, I will return again to my Rocky Mountain home.
Alright, apologies for lack of posting.
It feels like all I ever do these days is work...and I don't do much else.
I barely talk to anyone anymore in general.
I am usually going over the gf's or she is coming over or something.
My days consist of work, tivo, gf, sleep.
Exciting.
After shadowmoor dropped, I made a janky Enchanted Evening deck and a R/G creature-based aggro deck. R/G deck runs 4 Boartusk Liege, and I love it.
I am going on vacation this weekend to Florida...I am not particularly looking forward to it, but I need a nice relaxing few days off from work. (I have applied to a new job...I really need a new job.)
My current obsession is Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King. This game is the first (legit) game that you can download from Wii, and it is...mindnumbingly addictive.
I have bought Mario Kart Wii and only played it the day I got it. I played Geometry Wars instead.

Just one more thing, among a host of them, that Grakthis was egregiously wrong about. Big surprise.
Nice to hear from you, Greg. I'm a little skeptical about Crystal Chronicles games, I played the most recent Nintendo DS one and it literally took 6 hours to complete..pretty unacceptable for an RPG.
@Dux: That's a sharp decklist, the Paragon is a particularly nice touch since like..all..of your guys are warriors. If you're going to run that guy, I would recommend pulling Giantsbaiting and running Imperious Perfect instead. He is a warrior that pumps other warriors(well, other Elves), and makes 2/2 guys...guys that are..warriors.

Everyone else: After much rattling around, I mocked up our current discussion 'cos the art is too fun. Go have a look + post some swear words.
Watched Perfect Blue + was disturbed, multiple times. Highly recommended @_@

I really do like this pic. Some days I wish I were classically trained. . .
lightning eds for diggy - ha ha, you failed at study
not-so-lightning eds for cyan - FS = first strike? Cohort has haste, I am

eds - anybody following the release of On the Rain-Soaked Precipice of Darkness? I might actually buy a video game for the first time since Diablo II came out
Oh, I thought Cohort was the guy that gives red guys on your team First Strike.
Regardless, he's still pretty bad.
