Enchantment vs Creature —July 12, 2021

Just learned of the update feature so here is the first to document.

Rite of the Raging Storm is a fun card and has its payoff moments but often times I find myself controlling the game with goads and the table all stops using the hasty elementals in a pact to try and gang up on me or end the goading. It's also bit me a few times giving tokens to sack theme decks and helping them in ways I didn't want.

So while it's also nice having access to the trample tokens each of my turns, I'm going to swap in Urabrask the Hidden for more speed and late game control.

How about Whispersilk Cloak or another unblockable thing to get damage in?

Ziabo I don't have Whispersilk Cloak because there's so many other cards to help us go wider, grant trample or drop an unblockable creature for less mana. We also have a decent amount of cards in here that I use to target Marisi when hes on the board so shroud can be problematic for us.

Fun deck! I would like to point out that Tormentor's Helm does not trigger Toski or Marisi since it does not deal combat damage. If you would like an effect that does that, maybe try Predatory Focus or Outmaneuver since they are both under six mana. Other cards that would be helpful for that are Garruk, Savage Herald and Siege Behemoth .

forneyt thanks for pointing that out! I swapped in an Embercleave and got to drop it out tonight at my LGS. It's another decent way to get damage thru and more double strike is nice in here. The flash will keep it from being countered when Marisi is out.
