We are the middle children of history. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War is a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off.
Might try running a few equip matter creatures, Kemba and Sunspear Shikari, will test next week once cards arrive. Probably replace the geopede. May have to exchange a few mountains for plains by making this switch.
I'm fairly happy with the mainboard, though I could consider moving one of the equipments to the side. Hammer of Ruin and Gideon are still being tested. I wouldn't mind another Mirran Crusader and another Journey to Nowhere, but I can't figure out how to squeeze them in.
I'm not entirely happy with the mana. The deck wants more white, but going 3 mountains, 6 plains seems like it would make Koth sad.
Theese are my 75, having teched the deck agains Caw-Blade and Boros. In any of this matchups i expect the other player to bring in on the second game artifact removal, while i do this too, i ll sb out equipment plan, and get more threats, lets say vandal and gideon jura and koth for blade, and against boros Firewalkers, Vandal and Arc Trail (pulling out the koth and a goblin guide/geopede).
Kor Skyfisher's value increased lately, especially with the rising of the hawks, and getting a bonehoard back into the hand when your germ is done is also good... as it is with a stoneforge mystic.
I feel the Journeys are there for Valakut and Eldrazi green matchups, but not improving them so drastically... Baneslayer Angel is almost gone (some Blades SB still carry it) and you can still do all of this with a mark of mutiny, and more efectively, except emrakul... but haven't seen one of those in ages!
Gideon jura is so helpful against aggro and control, but not against ramp... thats why i keep it on sb.
I ve tested this deck without winning the local tourney but still happy. I had sooo awful hands and i found myself going down to five and keeping a bolt and an arc lightning a hawk and 2 mountains, no lands until 5th turn and still beated caw blade. (just holded the bolt for the jace, used inteligently my arctrail) and when i got the white i was controling the field all along.
The next 2 games i was beated by it on similar ways, (mana screw and heavy mulliganing) but i still ranked 4th. ALL games i went at least to 6 cause of screw... i ll keep almost every hand with 3 lands... xcepting multiple hawks on hand... just disgusting.
We are the middle children of history. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War is a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off.
SBs are different but I feel pretty awesome that his maindeck updates wound up being my exact maindeck from the past week, excepting one single card (26th land v. singleton Koth). I'll have to test his though, because I love Koth still but I've not decided if four 4 drops is too much without 26 lands. I put an extra Bonehoard in the SB because the card is that ridiculous, and the assumption is generally that once the first is fetched and destroyed, the opponent is out of the woods. Redundancy, here, is proving to be excellent.
So, while I ran through several builds during the week I ended up running short on time and so made some hasty decisions. Here is what I ran to a decent 3-1:
I'm much less impressed with Hero of Oxid Ridge over Hero off Bladehold but then again my matches were fairly atypical. I will likely go back to running a set of Mirran Crusader in the mainboard, they did fairly well in testing and even in my peculiar meta last night they would have done well.
Forked Bolt tested poorly, but again there is the issue of being atypical matches. I'm likely to just fall back to Lightning Bolt for next week's event/s.
- Hero of Bladehold can be absolutely insane. It's as big a threat as Bonehoard when you drop it post-sweeper, control decks must answer it right away and it really helps your board position against creature decks. Far better than Koth of the Hammer or Hero of Oxid Ridge against most heavy-creature decks.
- Hero of Oxid Ridge is absolutely ridiculous. I found myself praying to draw one almost all day. That said, he often only gets a single attack in against other creature decks, and if your meta is fairly wide open (as mine is) you only want him in some matchups (Valakut, Caw-Go, etc). In those matchups, though, you want him badly, so it's worthwhile having access to 4.
Been chopping and changing my list from week to week at FNM as the meta slowly evolves. Its becoming more and more aggro.

Arc Trail will need to make it's way into my 75, or go back to running Cunning Sparkmage & Basilisk Collar in the board.
Forked Bolt tested poorly, but again there is the issue of being atypical matches. I'm likely to just fall back to Lightning Bolt for next week's event/s.

Anyone got any feedback for me?
