Changes now, changes later. —March 9, 2015
So with all the Dragons of Tarkir spoilers coming out, I've seen some cards that are definitely getting worked into this deck once the set comes out. Musing over what to cut got me to thinking though, and the mechanics of some of the newer cards I'm definitely picking up and adding also made me revisit why certain older cards weren't already in the deck now, and thus I've made a couple of changes to it in anticipation of making changes later when Dragons is released:
-
Hateflayer has replaced Skarrg Goliath, which was really just too expensive as a combat trick and not exciting enough as a creature on the ground, while Hateflayer has cool old mechanics they're never ever bringing back and also lets me get around a glaring weakness my deck used to have (indestructible creatures) via Wither.
-
Hellkite Charger has replaced Viashino Shanktail, which I was never all that keen on; surprise first strike did come in handy every now and again, but not enough that I'd rather keep it around than add another way to trigger extra combat phases. The new Savage Ventmaw from DoK should play very very nicely with this dragon methinks.
