StopShot on Surrakar, what are they and …

4 years ago

I was messing around on Gatherer recently and I encountered a creature type I haven't stumbled upon before; Surrakar. There are only four cards with this creature type written out and they were all only printed in the original Zendikar block. They seem to have disappeared from reappearing in the newer Zendikar sets, so I was really wondering what they are.

Cards:

Shoreline Salvager

Surrakar Banisher

Surrakar Marauder

Surrakar Spellblade

Do they ever appear in lore or the stories? I would like to know more.

I agree with you, I have been sceptical to the black splash for a while now but now you have convinced me.

Removing black will free up 7 slots, probably gonna remove Assault Strobe as well in favor of evasion and direct damage. This would be 9 slots available then.

What would you say if I considered cutting some lands as well, maybe 3-4 basics?

This would probably make the mana curve slower, but on the other hand no card or creature so far exceeds 2 CMC.

With 12 cards available I would like to try 3 Glistener Elf and 3 Sakura-Tribe Elder. (Eventually 4 of each)

As you suspected I don't want to get Lightning Bolt, but I really appreciate your suggestions for replacements. I haven't seen them before.

I like the suggestion Unnatural Predation but I have a few copies of Rancor laying around that should do the work just as good if not better. So what do you think about something along the lines of this:

Removing:

4 Surrakar Marauder

3 Midnight Charm

2 Assault Strobe

3 Basic lands

and including:

3 Glistener Elf

3 Sakura-Tribe Elder

2 Searing Spear

2 Shock

2 Rancor

and then balancing out the lands?

Really appreciate your input, thank you!

It does seem reasonable, black isn't the only color with removal. For example, if you have the money you can buy Lightning Bolt. Dropping black isn't a bad idea, and it would make the deck a bit more consistent. Maybe add Unnatural Predation as a way to bypass blockers if you replace Surrakar Marauder? Also,
