this is my current list , I went 5-1 at a gpt this weekend , so far I really like how the deck performed.My only loss was due to an error for rushing the game against an abzan company.
I must say Essence flux is an amazing card in this deck.When paired with reflector mage is a pseudo removal , Not to mention the ability to steal games with lieutenant pumping the team or the ability to dodge removals .I'm really impress with the card.
The same could be said for Ojutai's command but to a less extend due the mana cost .
I been playing this deck for while ,tweaking it and my result have been great with it.
This deck prey on most mid-range strategy and can dish and insane amount of damage really quick.My only bad match up so far is Sidisi whip , but is winnable and post sideboard the odds are like a 50/50.
You enjoy tapping your creature and quick games
Out of nowhere wins (this deck really punishes not blocking)
Brimaz, King of Oreskos-Solid turn 3 , at first I used to main 3. Now I only use 1 main to side , due to him be kinda slow.But still a good option.
Hushwing Gryff- Mainly for side board , but I been trying 1 in the main deck and I liked it so far.(Brimaz replacement)
War-name Aspirant -used them at first ,not bad a bad choice.especially against caryatids ,soldier or bee tokens. But in my testing I found them kinda Slow.
Eidolon of the Great Revel-I been to tempt to try it .But until soulfire GM is not release I think will do me more harm than good.Yet an option to consider.
Lightning StrikeBurn,removal , prowess and we don't have lighting bolt so...
Trumpet Blast-The Card that start it all. After drafting ktk many times and witnessing the shenanigan this could cause. I decide to give a spin on standard and so far I have not regret it . This can make the difference between 3 dmg or 9 due to prowess trigger etc. A real solid alternative to token strategies aside from Jeskai ascendancy.
Stoke the Flames- 4 dmg burn spell , prowess and great synergy with tokens.
Erase-Sideboard card , But main deck material due to Courser ,whip ,doom wake.
Circle of Fire-Solid Sideboard card against Rabblemaster , Mono red and other token strategies. The downside is that it doesn't hit flyer....(looking at you >=[ hornet queen
Harness by Force- sideboard card ,Because hitting them with their best creature or removing the blocker is thing and it can win games.
My list is similar to Gaka's build , but with a little more artifact hate because my meta is flooded with artifact ramp.
Recently I been testing with Liquimetal Coating and I must say the card is an MVP .
It has great synergy with the deck and open possibilities for a lot of random stuff to happen like:
1-turning a planeswalker in to an artifact and copying it with sculpting steel .
2-making any card on the field a legal target for Goblin Welder
3-giving red ability to destroy anything once you turn it in to an artifact.
4-Land D every turn for 1 in conjunction with Gorilla Shaman
My sealed pool was average. The best card I got was primeval bounty but for some reason I never manage to draw it.But I got some sweet interactions that help me earn 4 place only lost one, but due to tie breaker I finished 4 place out of like 25-30.
I played a 3 color deck. The deck was mainly GW with splash of red for Lighting talons and lava axe.
my MVP interactions were :
Trading post + Angelic Accord
Griffin sentinel + troll hide
deadly recluse + lightning Talons
lava axe
Overall I can say I have a nice time and the extras booster I earn as prize help compensate for the crappy stuff I open for my sealed deck.
because there are some effects that triggers when a card goes to the graveyard and token touch graveyard and trigger those effects before removing themselves.
The fact that there is almost at least 2 in every top eight isnt enough? And didn't a zombie pod just get first somewhere?
Thragtusks are in the event decks I don't see it dropping at all.
But Thragtusks doesn't rotate until next year. Also the reason it doesn't drop that much is because the deck only include one copy and that him and Green Sun Zenith are the main reason for which people buy that event deck .
Placed second , Only lost one game to Naya Pod due to a bonfire top deck T_T.
I played my Brew of Naya Human .Won against RDW ,Delver, B/G infect,U/B Control.
The main idea of the deck is to take advantage of creature with ETB effects.
So far the result have been good. I went 3-1 on last night FMN.
But I kinda need help with the SB and with cutting 2 cards from the deck to make it a 60 card deck.
