SWEEEP IT UP! —May 24, 2015

new discussion time

I noticed that you had a pretty weak 4-drop spot, so could Brutal Hordechief be of any avail as a 1-of? With the tokens?

FAMOUSWATERMELON : Thank you for the thought but he's counteractive to my plan. I'm not exactly trying to be an aggressive deck and at 4 mana I'd need him to be a lot stronger than a 3/3 with no protections.

what's the idea with olivia in the SB? what type of matchups do you bring her in?

May 9, 2015 7:56 p.m.

Yeah, makes sense.

HoweYouDrewin Jund/affinity/tron maybe.

you Never cast her without mana to activate her. She can :

Against Affinity : Ensure they will never cast an x/1 ever again

Against Jund/Tron : Steal the things that are beating the crap out of you while you prepare for the next thing.

Essentially she evens out our midrange mirror match-ups. I'd not recommend adding her against abzan though because we want to avoid path targets.

Is Outpost Siege better than Dark Confidant here?

With over 1/6th of the deck being 3 cmc or higher? Yes. Not too mention decks are packing tonnes of removal so Dark Confidant just doesn't see as much play anymore. Too easy to remove.

Siege is four mana though...

Also, why 3 Bitterblossom? If the name of the game is stall them out, you're going to die to your own enchantment.

I really like Stormbreath as a finisher, he does a nice job. Did you consider throwing in a Thundermaw or two? I hear that Lingering Souls is annoying lol.

Siege being 4 mana is an upside

Dodges Abrupt Decay and provides the extra draw when i need it and have adequate mana to spend on it. Being an enchantment auto makes it better in the current meta. Are you doing to waste board space with enchantment destruction vs the young pyro\lingering souls deck?

People often literally can't interact with it or are forced to ignore it due to my other threats. On top of all of this, it acts as a Goblin Bombardment when i need it to. I've never regretted slamming it. Not even once.

Bitterblossom is new tech to this build. I like it because it stalls goyfs all day long, makes evasive fliers, and adds early threats to my board while I'm chizzling the opponent down. I don't think it will kill me. I switch gears and go aggressive once the opportunity strikes. I also included a vault to draw into for such an occassion.

One could also trade the outposts for sorin 3.0 and stormy/some other mix of spells for bob if they were so inclined but I'm comfortable running as is

How yeh liking bitter blossom? o.O Just noticed yeh had it in your list.

Ryotenchi i certainly have the impression that it's stronger than Tidehollow Sculler and since Liliana of the Veil is the only other card I'd safely put there which i don't want to, i think it's the best thing for this deck

I think its awesome, cause your deck is mid to late game anyways isnt it? :P

Yeah that fairly sums it up. I Haven't had a chance to do any testing but i have good feelings about this configuration
