Title: Answer To Aggro?
Post by: Mikefrompluto on April 16, 2013, 11:42:02 PM

Answer To Aggro?

60 cards, 0 sideboard


4 {Watery Grave}
9 {Swamp}
5 {Island}
2 {Temple Garden}
1 {Breeding Pool}
1 {Steam Vents}
2 {Overgrown Tomb}

24 lands


2 {Mirko Vosk, Mind Drinker}
4 {Havengul Lich}

6 creatures


3 {Gilded Lotus}
4 {Ultimate Price}
4 {Essence Scatter}
2 {Victim of Night}
2 {Mutilate}
4 {Tragic Slip}
2 {Chromatic Lantern}
2 {Supreme Verdict}
3 {Lingering Souls}
4 {Unburial Rites}

30 other spells


Sideboard

Notes:
With all the talk about aggro dominating, I had this idea. Basically kill everything they play and then steal it with {havengul lich}.

I kinda want to say a playset of {Unburial Rites} is a tad too much

Yeah you're probably right. Any idea of what I could maybe replace two of them with?

Possibly more board wipes? Or some Walkers?

I like ID's idea.  Maybe {Tamiyo, the Moon Sage} or {Ral Zarek}?  Maybe {Terminus} for the new Boros champ?

Perhaps two {soul ransom}? Or {trepanation blade} could be fun with mirko

I'd say flip the number of {Victim of Night} and {Ultimate Price}

Very cool idea! 
With most true aggro decks only running 22 land tops, a few hits with the  {Mirko Vosk, Mind Drinker} could deck them pretty quick.
What about  {Increasing Confusion}?

Thanks! Yeah, I might use {increasing confusion} as an alt win-con. If they aren't playing aggro, 90% of the deck becomes useless, so ill need a backup plan.

Haha I thought {Increasing Confusion} wasn't standard legal.  Damn {Blue Sun's Zenith} playin' with my brain!
