I'm actually okay with either Unmake the Graves or Hunter's Ambush, but I really want to make Hunter's Ambush work. Just the look on your opponent's face would be priceless.

Will Garruk, Apex Predator kill us if we don't pick him? Let's not find out.

It's wrong to say our deck is slow when we're only on pick 15 because we don't have a deck yet.


Come on man, that is not what I said. I said that "our deck looks like it may be slow". And 15 picks in, that is true. Just because we have a two and a three drop on curve doesn't mean it isn't.

What are the cards our opponents have to deal with? A 7 drop Hornet Queen, a 6 drop silverback, and a 7 drop siege worm with constellation. So far, our only ramp is a 5 drop with constellation.

My point is, there is a very good chance that we are already losing significantly when we cast one of our bigger creatures. Lets say our opponent destroys it once played. He is most likely dealing more damage to us that turn.

We then spend the next turn not doing anything for our board presence because we are pulling him from the grave. So he gets another turn to widen the gap while we sit with our bomb in hand.

There will ALWAYS be targets for unmake unless we're winning, so we will always get value out of it when we need.


This is not true, but feel free to have the last word.

Like someone said upthread, we are talking about our 21/22 card here.

I really want to pick Hornet's Nest, but Garruk is so good too! Gotta go with the G-man!

@ajunior I was the one originally talking about this being the 21/22 card. I'm not sure what you're point is, because it seems like you're talking about picking a combat trick while pointing out we don't have creatures, which is kind of like complaining about the empty gas tank on a tireless car. Also, if you're going to get all catty about "the last word" while actually trying to get the last word, I'm game.

In other news, Obvi Garruk is obvi.

Garuuk. Is there any chance that Nest wheels due to our cutting?

It's one of the strongest cards in the pack, and it's in our colours. Let's go-go Netcaster Spider!

Not getting catty man, just trying to communicate my point. No worries though.

I'll take the spider too. Very easy choice, I think.
