Surviving Rotation... Monastery Swiftspear?

Standard Deck Help forum

Posted on Feb. 10, 2016, 1:59 p.m. by xavrr

Anyone have any suggestions on replacing Monastery Swiftspear after rotation?

In my deck I already have/know of:

Zurgo Bellstriker

Lightning Beserker

Goblin Glory Chaser

Stormchaser Mage

I'd suggest Lightning Berserker if you aren't running her already.

I think Origins rotates out too, does it not? Or do we get it for another block?

cklise - When SOI comes out we lose KTK and FRF but keep DTK and ORI. What's in Standard is always a good site to have bookmarked during these times.

Thanks for the tip. I mostly play EDH, so I tend not to pay as much attention to Standard (especially since I'm notoriously bad at the format).

Does it have a to be a 1 drop? Because Scab-Clan Berserker is pretty good and Reckless Bushwhacker is really good as well

I would also say the Lightning Berserker.

Lightning Berserker is good, but if you are willing (or able) to splash Blue, Stormchaser Mage will be a great replacement. It has evasion as well as all of Monastery Swiftspears abilities in Flying. Yes, it requires Blue, but the card is pretty amazing.

Just my thoughts.
