Fingers McLongDong posted:I'm testing ideas for a g/w list for the Atlanta open, skyrider elf seems good though. I'm not a fan of raptor in this deck, I like the more synergistic aggressive cards instead, it's just too grindy. Managorger hydra is insane if left alone. I'm going to be trying undergrowth champion myself, in a 23 land version with 8 fetches. 3 Avatar of the Resolute 4 Den Protector 4 Hangarback Walker 2 Hidden Dragonslayer 2 Managorger Hydra 4 Servant of the Scale 4 Skyrider Elf 4 Hardened Scales 1 Evolutionary Leap 3 Dromoka's Command 2 Stubborn Denial 2 Treasure Cruise 2 Valorous Stance 2 Canopy Vista 1 Cinder Glade 4 Flooded Strand 4 Forest 1 Island 1 Lumbering Falls 1 Plains 2 Prairie Stream 4 Windswept Heath 3 Wooded Foothills Did some goldfishing and you guys were right. Anafenza is way too difficult to cast for the deck even with good draws. So, she was cut. I also cut a Managorger Hydra and all three Deathmist Raptors. The Hydra is the perfect finisher once you're set up, but they're dead too often early game. Raptors will go in the sideboard for super controlling decks that can't deal with them coming back. In their place, I put in 2 Hidden Dragonslayers (since more removal is nice and it is a good lightning rod for people who will assume it is Den Protector), a 4th Servant of the Scale, an Evolutionary Leap, and a 23rd land. Speaking of lands, I went in more on fetches by removing a couple forests for Wooded Foothills. They also help fuel Cruises. Despite what it may look like, the deck can be fairly slow, but its power ramps so high turns 3 and 4 that you can easily get turn 4 or 5 kills. The best play is easily turn 1 Scales into turn 2 Skyrider Elf as a 3/3 flier. Dodges Wild Slash, evades Hangarback Walkers, and goes toe-to-toe with Mantis Riders on the draw. Card is guuuuuud.

AlternateNu posted:3 Avatar of the Resolute This deck looks sweet and I'm only missing 1 hydra and 3 scales from this list. I'll probably be putting this together for this weekend. I'd be interested in any tweaks you make to the main deck and what a decent side board might be.

rear end Catchcum posted:Is the elf really that good? It's A 3/3 flyer for 3 It is an always on-curve flier that gets to be noticeably above curve with Scales out. Remember, X can be zero and it comes out as a 2/2 flier on turn 2. Or it can be a 5/5 for 4 on turn 4 with Scales. With everyone playing Hangarback and Rhinos, flexible fliers are really loving good right now. DarkRider09 posted:This deck looks sweet and I'm only missing 1 hydra and 3 scales from this list. I'll probably be putting this together for this weekend. I tweaked the mana base again. -2 Flooded Strands, +1 Wooded Foothills, +1 Forest. There were too many instances holding dead Avatars in my hand. As for the sideboard, this is my current draft: 1 Cinder Glade 3 Deathmist Raptor 2 Disdainful Stroke 1 Dragonlord Dromoka 1 Dromoka's Command 1 Kiora, Master of the Depths 1 Negate 1 Ojutai's Command 2 Radiant Flames 2 Stratus Dancer Radiant Flames against faster weenie decks with a second Cinder Glade to go with it. A 4th Dromoka's Command, and a bunch of cards to deal with control decks where I'll probably taking the Scales and Servants out.

I dunno dude that sounds like something someone would say RE: draft but in standard I just think there are better cards to be playing. i don't do well in magic tho so keep that in mind.

Before I start working on the OP for the next version of the thread, does anyone have any suggestions for what I should put in?
