I didn't see it mentioned anywhere in here but I'm going to be testing the deck with Bontu's Last Reckoning in the side instead of a Damnation. Coming down a turn earlier is great and it disrupting our mana isn't as big of a deal as it is to other decks. It also doesn't affect Mistvein Borderpost so that's also a bonus.
Ya I saw people doing that 2/2 split and was thinking of doing that but I also wanted to try out an image as a one of. Unfortunately having 1/2 or 2/1 of harbinder/tidebinder just seemed odd so I opted to cut the harbingers entirely. Those are the spots I'm debating the most. Apart from that, this is the first time I've only run 11 non-creatures. I usually do a 2/2 split of dismember and snag or pierce.
Hello, I'm getting ready for my first competitive REL tournament and wanted to get a decklist check by you fine folks to see if this is reasonable going into an unknown meta.
I'm not sure if this is the only reason, but I assume one of the reasons to run Mortarpod is because of Diregraf Captain. With Mortarpod the creature deals the damage so it turns into a psudo removal spell when paired with deathtouch.
I've tried goldfishing with my own take on this deck idea and I've found playing against Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet in Jund is particularly annoying. He makes Tragic Slip pretty difficult for us to use. I'm wondering if running Dismember or Murderous Cut might be an option. Also Scavenging Ooze is pretty annoying but what can you do
