Rock-Lobsters everywhere. Well, or at least some rocks.. Let me present to you: THE ROCK post-rotation :)

I've been playtesting this deck quite a bit now, I crushed R/G Ramp/Midrange and Big Red, the match-up against Esper-Control was balanced, was mostly dependent on the draws. I feel the outcome against G/W Midrange/Aggro should be as well pretty amazing. Rootborn Defenses could screw-up my Gaze of Granite but that should be a rare thing to happen. Also I have tons of spot-removal so I don't really put too much weight into Gaze.

I need your help with the sideboard. I don't exactly know what to put in. I know I will run 2-3 Erebos, God of the Dead and maybe I will add some Devour Flesh but other than that.

Please help me, let me know what you think and leave feedback and suggestions! Thank you all in advance.

Adapting and Returning — Nov. 22, 2013

So, the Meta was changing quite a bit lately and I piloted my golgari aggro deck the last two FNMs because I got a bit tired of playing this deck here. However the results were not nearly as good. I made some changes to the maindboard and sideboard to adapt to the changed meta in my LGS. Golgari Charm is maindeck now, because it's insane against the White Weenie decks (Soldier 2/1, Dryad 2/1, Skyjack 3/1, Sovereign 2/1) and the Rakdos Aggro decks (Shred-Freak 2/1, Jester 3/1) as well as the hyper aggro red decks (Akroan Crusader 1/1, Firedrinker Satyr 2/1, Foundry Street Denizen 1/1). Also I added some Doom Blade to the sideboard because I was frequently facing Fish, Gruul-Devotion and RDW decks. I'm not too sure I want to maindeck Gaze of Granite right now, but maybe that will change.

I cut the Lifebane Zombie as they are too slow to really help. I upped the Nightveil Specters to 4, as they have a nice 3 toughness and can therefore block and survive most of the pesky aggro creatures like Zealot, Cackler and Precinct Captain. Also the 3 Devotion are nice if I can curve out with T3 Specter, T4 Whip/DD, T5 Gary.

I was playing the deck online today after my miserable FNM finish and I'm glad to be back. It feels like coming home after being absent for 2 weeks on a mediocre business trip with no real highlights.
