deck


Will post my deck later

Black had little depth. I will not play master of the feast in limited. And doomwake giant didn't have a lot of enchantments to play with, white was an army of 2 drops, green was low on playables, red had the most playables but nothing that stood out. No monstrous, no burn, nothing to power fanatic of mogis. Blue was low on creatures. The entire pool has 3 removal cards. Eye gouge, lightning diadem and flamecast wheel. Bestow is very abscent here. Green has one, red has one, blue has one, white has none. Black has one, which you often won't want to play.

I would've played BR and posed as an aggressive deck, but really a stall deck to get to my huge bombs onto the battlefield. Dictate of Erebos could totally blow your opponent out; Abhorrent Overlord just takes over games; 5 mana for a 4/6 with upside is sweet. Something like:

1x Gnarlhide
1x Pharika's Chosen
1x Impetuous Sunchaser
1x Mogis's Warhound
1x Sigiled Skink
1x Deathbellow Raider
1x Grim Guardian
1x Minotaur Skullcleaver
1x Master of Feasts (get over it)
1x Bladetusk Boar
1x Fanatic of Mogis
2x Rotted Hulk
1x Doomwake Giant
2x Dreadbringer Lampads
1x Abhorrent Overlord
1x Spawn of Thraxes

1x Dictate of Erebos
1x Aspect of Gorgon
1x Fearsome Temper
1x Eye Gouge

9x Swamp
9x Mountain

Something like that. Sure, it's a tad bloated, but it's not terrible, and it has game during every point of the game.

Black Red was what I was thinking too. Rough pool for sure though.

Yes, awful pool (needless to say you went 4-0 right??)

Red is the only color that I want to play, but I did miss Dictate of Erebos.

I can't play 2 rotted hulk though.

Take rstnme's list:
-2 rotted hulk
-1 Deathbringer lampad
-1 swamp
-1 mountain

+1 flurry of horns
+1 horizon scholar
+1 traveler's amulet
+2 islands

I kinda wanted to splash for hour of need but you can't really get that 2nd target.

Hulk is like super amaze balls at slowing games down that want to play seven drops. And they wear bestow well too! But to each their own.

You know, it's better than I thought. I thought it was Cmc 5.

Oh I'm a fan of hulk too. 2/4 is a pivotal p/t combination in limited. Though there isn't much to bestow him.

I switched the sentinel in and out with Spawn of Thraxes. Posting deck tomorrow. (updating card pool)

No clue what you would have played, but I would have just left. Picking a color, then not getting to play that color, is one of the reasons I hate pre-releases.

Of course, if that weren't an option, I'd play blue/red.

This is what I played

2 x triton shorestalker
1 x omenspeaker
1 x flitterstep eidolon
1 x mogis's warhound
1 x sigiled skink
1 x pensive minotaur
1 x minotaur skullcleaver
1 x bladetusk boar
1 x fanatic of mogis
1 x cloaked siren
1 x wild celebrants
1 x horizon scholar
1 x spawn of thraxes
1 x guardians of meletis

1 x flamecast wheel (yes really)
1 x fearsome temper
1 x lightning diadem

1 x annul
1 x hubris (didn't like the card, but I quickly came to the conclusion that I HAD to play it. And it did save my butt twice)
1 x Nullify
1 x Hour of need (pretty much what made the deck capable of winnin in late game)
1 x flurry of horns


Believe it or not, I went 3-1 with this. Made a single misplay among every game. Attacking with it was fun though.

Opponent: I block this guy.
Me: Unblockable
Opponent: Alright I'll block this one.
Me: intimidate
Opponent:That one flies right?
me: Yes.
Opponent: What can I block?
Me: Mmm.... nothing

Hour of need is pretty good when you can always alpha strike for garanteed damage before getting your tokens. No one sees it coming since I attack with everything all the time anyay. This was pretty much a tempo deck. My opponents quickly wised up and checked the clock. And then flurry of horns screwed the math (they rarely had reasons to leave blockers up) Oh yeah, and I got to use hubris to take back my triton and lightning diadem.

The deck was definitely not very good. But it was the best I could do. And at least it was fun to play.

I feel good about myself for being able to determine the correct color.

Well. You determined which color I played at the very least :)
