Ive been wanting to play a BW aggro deck so any suggestions you can make would be wonderful. No budget. Basically just beatface and Shadow Lance is a must.
I haven't really played since just after Ravnica came out and bought some product the day Guildpact was released so heres what I've came up with from just browsing the spoilers of Dis and what I've seen from Guildpact.
I threw this together really quick so I could play a friend and start testing stuff with BW again. I know its not a complete deck but thats why its here. I want this to turn into a BWw deck if possible. Budget isn't a problem seeing as I'll end up proxying most of it anyway until I can actually play in tournaments again. The reason I started this deck was because of Shadow Lance so don't for any reason take it out. Thanks in advance.
Possibilities for a Type-2 Mill deck:
Ravinca Miller *UB mills for 10, awesome miller*
Tramatize *miller*
Dampen Thought *miller*
Reminisce *get back millers/ counters and good against mirror*
Mana Leak *counters*
Hinder *see above*
Meloku *Meloku is God*
Theiving Magpie *none of my decks are complete without a bird + draw power*
Jester's Cap *deck removal*
Millstone *milling*
Cranial Extraction *deck removal + kills combo decks*
Underground River *cranial and Rav Miller*
After play testing for the last few hours I desided to put the Beacons in after all in place of the Reaches. The extra mana is nice but I don't ever really need it, plus Beacon sets up a defense if needed and/or offence if I'm pwning with the Jitte or what not. Thanks for the advice Lesurgo.
Try dropping the useless reaches and naturalizes for 3 more land and to fill out the rest of your 3-ofs that are good. I don't like Blanchwood Armor, but then again you're playing the deck with training wheels anyway, since you fail to realize how good Top is.
Just because he doesn't like the top doesn't mean you need to say crap like that. I play him all the time and we both dislike it. Everytime I've played it its gotten in the way. Sure it looks at the top 3 cards but its not my kinda card. People like different kinds of cards and run different types of decks. So saying crap like that is just inapproptiate.
Anyways, on to other stuff. I played around with the deck a bit before leaving for FNM and desided this is how I wanna run it. I took out the beacons because I just don't like them, sure they're a win condition, they're great and all but they're not my kinda card so this is how it turned out.
Seems to run pretty good this way. Not how I was told I should run it but this way is fun. Like I said before I dont care for the beacons so I don't run them. Too much Pyroclasm. But here it is.
I'd love a banner made of the following cards
Eternal Witness
Umezawa's Jitte
Birds of Paradise
Sword of Fire and Ice
Troll Ascetic
and the Green mana symbol somewhere and my name
Davenroth, Master Alchemist (XXYY)
Legendary Creature -- Human Alchemist
To play this card you must pay 2 mana of two different types. (2 Blue and 2 Black ect.)
2, Discard a card from your hand or sacrifice a permenant: Search your deck for any card with the same converted mana cost as the card that was sacrificed or discarded, reveal the card and put it in your hand. Your library is then shuffled.
3/5
All the crap outside the discard/sac effect I just made up, comment if you want. I like it. Eh...I'm done.
Sounds good except for the Cranial Extractions. I'd prefer waiting for 9th and running Jester's Cap so I wouldn't have to splash black...Me + Dual color decks = bad, bad stuff.
This deck is really fast and fun. Most times it goes like this
Turn 1:
Play a forest, Tap play a Scout
Turn 2:
Play a forest, Tap scout, play out another forest, play out Troll, Birds, Elder, basically anything in the hand for 3
Turn 3:
Play a forest, play kodama's reach, tap scout, play another forest, You get the point...I hope.
Any suggestions are welcome. It seems to be running well as it is but I'm sure it can get better. Thanks in advance.
