I just played against exert aggro. I played T3 flames, t4languish, t5outburst, t6cut and filigree, t7 Thalia and shambling vent... oh actually t3was read the bones. Push everything else up a turn

Anyway I lost but I'll keep trying. With the read the bones I kept evolving wilds and filigree cuz I needed white and a blocker. Oops

Even after one or two game with it I can see big Lily just doesn't really fit here. As others have said, her +1 is painful if it mills something important (which we have no recursion for). Also makes me reluctant to play the sweepers if I have a few tokens.
Her -3 is fairly useless with only a couple of creatures in the deck. And her ultimate is often nullified with a lot of people playing zombies, including the A.I. Not to mention smart opponents will simply hold off playing non-zombie creatures while she's down.

I can see her occasionally being good if there's a G-Hulk to use the -3 on. Or a board full on non-zombies to obliterate. But I haven't run into those situations yet.

After some testing I'm liking Never to Return over Big Lily and 1 copy of UD. We'll keep it that way for now. Also, Vert, I'd love to play your favorite deck to shut up your negative pompous face.

His favorite deck is probably esper control. Don't go towards certain death. At least let him choose a random selection of decks :duel:

If you beat NGA's raid boss that'd be worth some cool points. :cool:

I can just imagine what happened ...

divinevert: lolz this guy is challenging me with his mardu planeswalkers deck I'll just play my countercontrol and wipe him out.
JoeVoigt: hmm, this divinevert guy is obviously going to play countercontrol. But I didn't say what I'm going to play so I'll just make a deck with maximum copies of Prowling Serpopard and Gaea's Revenge, trololol ~~
*game 1*
divinevert: wtf?? You've got to be kidding me. Nevermind, he's gone from a bad deck to an even worse deck. Now I'll just play some random aggro deck and squash him.
*game 2, JoeVoigt casts Radiant Flames Planar Outburst Languish*
JoeVoigt: hey don't look at me, I just sideboarded into this.

Magic's a simple game. Two people take turns playing cards and in the end next-levelling wins 2-0 ...

If this showdown happens, I'll show up and do coloured commentary in the feed if Vert broadcast voice with video

It feels good to beat decks like this one.

I was playing El Loco 4.0 and I went to burn him out twice, to which he escaped by the skin of his teeth, thanks to 2 lucky blessed alliances. Then I start top deciding Land after Land staring down Gideon, nahiri, Chandra and friends... Until Avacyn's Judgment came to the rescue to burn out those 2 Last stubborn points of life when I was facing lethal next turn.
Sorry about the rant... But whenever I face a superfriends deck I always picture a pompous self-centered prick on the other side piloting it and it feels good to burst said imaginary prick's bubble.

I could however be completely wrong and superfriends may very well be played by nice, friendly, likable people (but deep down, I have my doubts...)

Nothing personal...

Joe, had to retire the deck after it went 8-3, losing to Boros tokens, Azorious enchantments and RDW.

Fun deck, thanks
