For the new Standard. Blood Artist is Zulaport Cutthroat until it goes up.

The deck basically is a huge value engine. Right now I've foregone main deck removal almost completely, as it can often win pretty quickly with minimal interaction, with some goldfishes resulting in drawing the entire deck by turn 8. However, being in black and blue means I can have a decent sideboard for midrange.

The deck itself is pretty robust against removal, as most of the pieces can replace themselves. It doesn't require you to draw all the combo pieces to win - Zulaport Cutthroat + Smothering Abomination OR Evolutionary Leap is sufficient on it's own to create a decent clock. But you don't even need to kill with Cutthroat; you can easily play in aggro mode with a good curve, and with Drowner of Hope and Brood Butcher, you can easily push through the last few swings.

The side board is currently built to be able to transition to grindy aggro when needed (say against midrange) or to kick out the aggro components and go straight combo against slower control decks.

Still working on the mana base - I hate when I don't have as much green mana open as I'd like.
