Flarhoon13 on Wolverine, Snikt!!

Roast-O-Matic 9000 The "Best There Is" (At Getting Board Wiped) Oh, look. You built Wolverine, Best There Is. How daring. How original. I bet you also have a Punisher logo on your truck and think "Logan" is the only good movie ever made.

You’ve managed to build a deck that is the MTG equivalent of a guy at the gym who only does bicep curls—huge arms, but the second someone asks him to do a squat (or play a game that lasts past turn six), his entire system collapses.

The "I Hope They Don't Have a Removal Spell" Strategy Your entire game plan is:

Cast Logan. Rub your two brain cells together to cast a fight spell. Get a single +1/1 counter. Get absolutely blown out by a 1-mana Swords to Plowshares. You’re running Regenerate as your primary protection. Regenerate. What year is it, 1998? "Oh no, don't destroy my Wolverine!" says the opponent as they casually exile him, bounce him, or just cast Toxic Deluge for -3/-3 and watch your Canadian superhero turn into a puddle of maple syrup.

Notable Inclusions (Or: "I Found These in a Shoebox") Blazing Shoal: You’re playing a two-color deck with like... three high-CMC red cards. What are you exiling to this? A Blasphemous Act? Congratulations, you just 2-for-1'd yourself to make Wolverine a 15/15 that still gets blocked by a 1/1 Goat token. Belt of Giant Strength: You spent a card slot on an equipment that costs TEN MANA to equip unless your commander is already big. If he’s already big, why do you need the belt? It’s like buying a ladder that you can only reach if you’re already standing on the roof.

Inquisitor's Flail: "Double the damage dealt to Wolverine." In a deck where your commander has to survive damage to get counters. You’re literally handing your opponents a Murders-at-Karlov-Manor-themed suicide vest and asking them to pull the pin.

The "Oops, All Sorceries" Interaction You have about twenty "Target creature deals damage" spells. That’s great, except 80% of them are sorcery speed. Your deck is so telegraphed that an opponent could go take a shit, come back, and still have time to realize they should probably hold up mana for a counterspell.

And let's talk about Burning Anger. Five mana for an aura? In a format where everyone and their mother is running Nature's Claim? You’re paying five mana to give your opponents a chance to get a 2-for-1 and a laugh at your expense.

Final Thoughts This deck is a glass cannon made of actual, fragile glass. You’ve got The Ozolith and Hardened Scales, which are the only things keeping this pile from being a Draft chaff leftovers salad. You’re playing Kediss to try and kill the whole table, but let’s be real: you’re going to spend four turns putting counters on Logan, swing once, get him Aetherized, and then spend the rest of the night complaining about "blue players."

It’s a Gruul deck for people who think "strategy" is a word used by nerds who don't have adamantium claws. Go buy some actual protection spells before your playgroup realizes that a single Fog makes you forfeit the game out of pure embarrassment.

Nature's Claim is a good sideboard card

Hey all,

I never seem to find a moment to just sit down and answer comments, so sorry for the wait. Doombeard1984, I've been noticing a trend at more competitive tables that players are favoring non-basics over just regular islands. I'd contemplate cutting Carpet of Flowers for another interaction piece like Flusterstormfoil or the aforementioned Aura Shards. I'd have to give it some thought on what would be a good replacement. Nature's Claim has to stay in though, as it's interaction without any caveats which is my personal preference, plus that sweet TimeSpiral Remastered old border foil just gets my neurons going.

And Mother Sliver Queen's Blessings upon you as well. May you generate many Slivers.

Hi Daevied. I do believe the deck could be downgraded to a Bracket 3 deck with the simple removal of all but maybe 3 game changers. The identity of the deck lies in the curated list of Slivers - the rest is just to ensure your opponents can't thwart your plans. I highly encourage you to try your hand at your own iteration of the deck, some spells i'd suggest including would be:

That's just a list of spells i'd consider - nothing definitive mind you. If you do follow through with your decklist please send me a link to the page. I always like to see what other Hives are brewing.

Solid list, I would run slightly more interaction to deal with opposing threats, however

Additions I would make, either for versatility or cheap to cast, would be Archdruid's Charm, Nature's Claim, Kenrith's Transformation, and/or Song of the Dryads. Halana, Kessig Ranger would be the synergistic option as a legendary creature as well.

Other powerful considerations; Nylea, Keen-Eyed does double duty ramp and card advantage while being a legendary creature herself, Kolvori, God of Kinship  Flip can be a beater with card advantage or ramp with the backside in a pinch, Heroes' Podium is a one-sided Coat of Arms also with an activated ability to pick up legendaries, Renata, Called to the Hunt is a solid beatstick with an anthem effect, and Dosan the Falling Leaf is sort of green's Grand Abolisher.

You are really right about that, however I see nothing left to chip from the mainboard other than less efficient Horrors. And Balaam__ the margin is increasingly smaller. I theorize no more than 3-4 slots for removal. I'm gonna aim for something in the lower curve, maybe Nature's Claim makes an appearance here.

Why Nature's Claim when I have Force of Vigor in SB to cast for free?

No Inkmoth Nexus is a conscious decision because I want access to green mana always. Also Ikmoth is overrated in this deck as without ramp it can only kill as soon as turn 4. The Glistener Elf can do that on T2 and Plague Stinger on T3 (also without ramp). I talk about creature + Scale Up + either Groundswell or Might of Old Krosa combo.

Instead of Verdant Catacombs I have Windswept Heath which do the same.

Also dude, I have no "slow lands", what are you talking about?

Nature's Claim to the side board. Inkmoth Nexus Verdant Catacombs

Also, ditch some of your slower lands.
