What I like about this deck is that it has a lot of stuff I can do. I can lay down a lot of attackers early on and steal games with Overwhelm, or I can grind games out and win via an evasive flyer rocking a Brawler's Plate. Overall, I'd be happy with this pool in a Sealed tournament, in no small part because I have 4 of those 4/3 spiders to stop the air-game.

I wanted to jam Stormtide Leviathan just because it ends games very quickly, but even in a so-called grindy format I felt 8 mana was a lot, and would require me to play that Verdant Haven as well. Instead I ended up playing all of my blue removal and a Divination to dig a little deeper into my deck. I am not 100% on the 2 Tyrant's Machines, but they seem to be a house in board stalls and also help ensure my Aeronaut Tinkers can fly.

So, obviously there's some very strong red and clear black bombs in this pool. I decided to go with the obvious and came up with this:

1 x Generator Servant
1 x Borderland Marauder
1 x Child of Night
2 x Carrion Crow
3 x Goblin Roughrider
1 x Belligerent Sliver
1 x Krenko's Enforcer
1 x Scrapyard Mongrel
1 x Paragon of Fierce Defiance
1 x Thundering Giant
1 x Juggernaut
1 x Accursed Spirit
1 x Indulgent Tormentor
1 x Blood Host

2 x Covenant of Blood
1 x Stab Wound
1 x Stoke the Flames
1 x Haunted Plate Mail
1 x Liliana Vess

9 x Mountain
8 x Swamp


The thing I'm purposefully ignoring is the Frenzied Goblin + double Crippling Blight opening up the way for my attackers. I felt like just jamming more creatures and better removal was, overall, better. What do you guys think?
