{Rakdos cackler}. Good for T2 two damage or a mid-late game chump blocker. {Rakdos shred-freak} is also good for early damage.

{Gore-House Chainwalker} is pretty sweet.

{Slaughter Games} is a very cheap SB card.

I think {Diregraf Ghoul}, but no one else seems to...

I still like {Diregraf Ghoul} as well.

He's pretty cool, he's essentially a bigger {Gravecrawler} with less recursion. With that said I have 3 full art Promos of the guy if anyone is interested.

Id like full art promos of diregraf/gravecrawler, whichever you are referring to... Is {splatter thug} worth it?

Also dont be restricted to budget, feel free to suggest often overlooked cards even if they are somewhat costly, things that may not always be considered are my favorite.. I like people going 'wtf are you doing with that?' Then having the synergy blow em away

I like {splatter thug}. A 3/3 at 3 CMC with first strike is nothing to laugh at.

 {Stromkirk Noble} and {Dreadbore} and a pretty good agro package are easily picked up in the rakdos event deck. :)

And those are super easy to pick up because no one wants that one. Lmao. They all wanted the golgari one.

Lol and why wouldn't you, the {thragtusk} pretty much pays for the pack himself.
Title: Re: staples for aggro
Post by: Wally on January 28, 2013, 06:42:17 PM
Correction, no dread bores in that pack, just {pillar of flame}, {seering spear}, {vexing devil}, etc.

Or just go the ultimate passive aggressive deck type - land destruction. (Black jester will probably come back and hunt me down now just for mentioning it)

For mono-blue aggro, I would say a staple would be {faerie storm}
