Bit of a Break, back on the Brewing Grind! —March 16, 2012
Okay guys, not been piloting this deck for a couple of weeks thanks to two headed giant things and other commitments, but now I'm back on track with the deck, and I have some interesting changes to it.
Cards Removed!
1x Grave Titan - I found that though these guys usually drop to win the game, they can't be GSZ'd for and are therefore weaker in the deck
2x Garruk, Primal Hunter - I wanted to shrink the number of planeswalkers in the deck as they are a little durdly for the list, and the GGG cost on garruk makes him harder to cast and to use.
3x Mayor of Avabruck - I'm sad to let these guys go, but they don't really fit with the deck all that much as I tend to keep casting spells and they are perfect targets for removal.
1x Doom Blade - simply removed due to more mono black
Added 1x Garruk Relentless - this guy is a house with mortarpod and the deathtouch wolves, he is certainly a toolkit in the deck
Added 3x Viridian Emissary - These guys help sort out my mana, and are a pretty good beater as well as your opponent doesn't normally want to give you land
Added 3x Mortarpod - The most powerful addition to the deck I think, they allow me to shoot down so many things by flinging germs at stuff
Added 2x Go for the Throat - Again tempered has dropped in my meta and mono black has stepped up, so these find a better place now
Added 2x Entomber Exarch - Probably the best hand disruption spell in standard right now, and the ability to rebuy a creature also helps a lot.
So guys, that is the new take on the list, please comment and let me know what you think!
