Man, I want to hope the seraph wheels and we take slate of ancestry and build a WG as-many-creatures-out-as-possible deck. It's crazy, but so am I.
Slate.

Geddon.

You can also keep lands in hand before you play it.

I think on reading people's replies that Geddon is the right pick. I get where CKY is coming from, and we are so not an actual weenie deck, but the advantage of symmetrical stuff like that is we get to decide when to play it, and we know when it's coming. we get to prepare by holding back lands and making seemingly bad trades to manipulate a game state where we have a slight edge on the board, then boom all resources gone. and if they play around it? well, we just traded maybe one dead card in hand for them playing incredibly poorly against everything else, which is a risk I'm willing to take.

it's gotta be fleet, right? I mean, it's not really cost-effective until we have three attackers, but nothing else here is very good.

Fire Ambush

Three damage for two mana is OK, even at sorcery speed. Fleet is bad in anything but full aggro, since it wants you to attack with a lot of creatures, which you won't normally do in a midrange deck. I'd take the Mastiff over Fleet if Volcanic Hammer wasn't there.

I agree with this except I would like to point out that Cheatyface goes with Armageddon. No, we can't cast it... I don't think that's the point.

Fire Ambush

Honorable mention to Cheatyface, which is pretty much always a Wind Drake with flash for .

Silverback Ape is playable, which is more than can be said for most of the cards in this pack. Maybe Kazandu Refuge, but we're so desperate for playables at this point that any halfway decent spell is welcome.

We're in w/r and want fliers and aggro. I want Betrothed of Fire. It seems to have the potential for hilarity

Refuge. We can splash for the slime now, it's our only noteworthy green card.

Three playable red cards isn't 'in red.'

four. river's a live option. and if we're desperate for playables I don't want to throw away four of them.

anyway, I think the pick is refuge. it effectively turns on slime, which gives us another playable, and Slime is better than Ape.

Refuge. If we go Green, it helps us splash Red. If we got Red, it helps us splash Green.
