I'm always going to take a two for one creature in this format. Rage continues to unimpressed me.

My argument goes back to the Claim of Erebos. I think we have a terribad aggro deck, but if we get shipped some sweet sweet black we might have a solid control deck. Which is why I think eidolon is the pick. And even if we get shipped redggro it's a fine playable.

Removal rules. And this one scrys, and kills both black critters we want to draft.

So this is what I'm looking at for now:

Nyxborn Rollicker
Nyxborn Rollicker
Baleful Eidolon
Nyxborn Eidolon
Felhide Brawler
Felhide Brawler
Kragma Butcher
Kragma Butcher
Servant of Tymaret
Cyclops of One-Eyed Pass
Mogis, God of Slaughter
Warchanter of Mogis
Marshmist Titan

Claim of Erebos
Claim of Erebos
Weight of the Underworld
Asphyxiate
Lightning Volley
Siren Song Lyre
Bolt of Keranos

I think it's between Spearpoint and Sip. Spearpoint would definitely make the deck, and sip probably as well, but I'm more interested in permanents at the moment I think. Sip is another card I'm pretty meh about unless I'm facing down monsters. We're sort of this aggro-y deck that can combo off lightning volley and claims of tymaret, so I'd rather stick with the aggro plan where possible, since we can get in some early damage and then ping our opponent to death.

Spearpoint at the moment.

I think spearpoint. I would play sip for sure but we need better creatures and giving first strike to warchanter, butcher, baleful E seems good.

I would say that if this was a Lash instead of a sip I would probably take it. I think we are going to be in very bad shape if we are fishing around for the 6th land and our out to a monster.

Sip of Hemlock

We need six mana to bestow the Oread. That six is better spent on Sip. Also, we are not aggro, we have the Lyre, Volley, Servant, Claim. Our one-drops are really bad, unless we enhance them, and we can't do that yet - no Ordeals. In fact, our one-drops should be used to enhance our two-drops. We probably can get in some early damage, but then we need to play control, and Sip is good there. I'd take a good aggro drop, but there isn't one in this pack.

Oread fits whatever direction we take with this deck.

Dragon Mantle

For me, it's this or the Temple. rstnme was right that we should try for aggro, so I vote for the Mantle.

Funny, taking Mantle here makes a lot less sense after taking Sip over Oread last pick. Rage looks more reasonable after Sip.
