Title: GW now?
Post by: Danielkix on February 28, 2013, 10:13:06 PM
So I play a GW deck just because i've liked that combo since I started playing magic a little over a year ago, I wasnt available during the first weeks of gatecrash and want to keep playing GW but there isnt too kuch in gatecrash to use for that. I try and run GW aggro, do you guys think it's viable to play with gatecrash out? I took my deck to gameday and went 2-2 and I beat a pretty good naya deck, it also beats my friend's american control deck. Besides asking if its playable in the current meta, what are gatecrash cards I can use in a GW aggro deck, my friend says {experiment one}

Tl;dr

Is GW playable in current meta, what gatecrash cards can I add in a GW aggro deck?

Naya aggro is more optimal, more choice of low cost beatings.

The naya that won the protour the other day was a very very cheap decklist actually.

Nico Christiansen's deck is pretty good. It gets around a lot of those consistency issues the other aggro decks have. There is an awful lot I'd change about it though.

My only problem with running naya is I dont have the cash for dual/shocklands, and I think without that there isnt much of a point on trying to run 3 colors.

Guildgates are fine substitutes.

With {thragtusk} and {cathar's crusade} the power is still viable. Go for it.
