Attack of the Attacks
1 week ago
Have you considered replacing a couple of your mana rocks with Gruul Signet and Rakdos Signet this will give you more mana for the cost. Also, your deck is missing out on cards that can punish opponents for attacking you. May I suggest any combination of Crown of Doom, Emberwilde Captain, Marchesa's Decree and Revenge of Ravens? Finally, some Eldrazi cards have Annihilator, which causes opponents to sacrifice cards. My favorites are Ulamog's Crusher and Eldrazi Conscription. I hope this helps. Thank you for reading me out. Happy Hunting!

"Hot potatoe" always felt an appropriate name for me.
Btw, Crown of Doom.

king-saproling I've looked at a lot of those cards before but some of them are new! I think the shell is highly flexible and can support most things, but I am curious behind the reasoning on trimming most of the pillowfort and a handful of the rattlesnake cards.
Ill-Tempered Loner Flip is great but frankly I can't be bothered to track Day/Night when I'm playing in paper.
Bloodthirsty Blade is solid and I have playtested it before, but my experience was that people were generally annoyed to see it, and because it was so cheap, there was no reason for me to not be using it constantly.
Truefire Captain was in there for a long time, but I needed space and it's one of my least favorite versions of the effect. 4 cmc, difficult casting cost, mediocre blocker, encourages aggression. So I trimmed it out for the ones I like slightly more, though I could be persuaded to readd the 3ish versions of the card that I don't run.
Ancient Gold Dragon would definitely be a powerhouse, but it's not really on theme for the deck. It's highly synergistic with Ganax, but Ganax is just in the deck because he's a red commander with Choose a Background and has flying. Gold Dragon is aggressive and highly threatening, which goes against the design goal for the list.
Death Kiss is fun, but I haven't tested it yet. Only concerns are the CMC and tracking the combat math.
For Life of the Party, I have some friends who love this card, but they play it in more of a blink deck where it can really shine. I don't know if I have enough support for it, but maybe I should give it a shot and see what happens.
Crown of Doom is super on-theme, but I've always found it to be relatively low-impact. +2 attack isn't a huge buff, and there's no guarantee it's on the person you need to be attacking.
Curse of the stalked Prey hits on similar issues with Crown of Doom, but I personally don't want to be using curses in the first place. You never know who they need to be on until much later on in the game. Like, imagine you curse someone and it turns out that player 3 is the real threat this game. You're rewarding people for attacking the wrong person, and encouraging them to avoid the real threat.
Skyboon Evangelist is fascinating; it reminds me of Frontier Warmonger. The reason I trimmed Warmonger was just that people never took advantage of the effect, it was just something I kept having to remind them of. I'm definitely going to have to think about this card though; I haven't seen it before.
Thanks for the feedback!

This is a really cool deck. I love the intent and the list looks great. Personally I would make these swaps:
Windborn Muse -> Ill-Tempered Loner
Flip
Ghostly Prison -> Bloodthirsty Blade
Boon-Bringer Valkyrie -> Truefire Captain
Baneslayer Angel -> Ancient Gold Dragon (cool synergy with Ganax!)
Sunblade Angel -> Death Kiss
Lyra Dawnbringer -> Life of the Party
Gisela, the Broken Blade -> Crown of Doom
Brave the Sands -> Curse of Stalked Prey
Crawlspace -> Skyboon Evangelist

Whoa, first thanks for all the input! I think I will re-think what I want to achieve with this deck a bit more. It was intended that the deck is not that streamlined but I think there are too many open ends atm. Currently working on the decklist with a couple of changes. I think I will cut some fogs and the mana artifacts, except Sol Ring and Arcane Signet. Crown of Doom is a fun card as it's just nice to see how opponents spend mana to pass this hot potato around. But sure, not adding much to the decks strategy. Diving into deck building again and will show up soon with an updated deck list and sharing more detailed what I'm up to with this deck. (At least if I found out what I am really up to)
