Title: Standard problem with aggro:(
Post by: Hunteroffire9 on June 11, 2013, 06:05:11 PM
After getting first place two times at fnm back to back I got crushed by and went 3-2 and barely got the 2 wins 4 out of my 5 games where aggro...... Red deck wins, 2 naya humans and red green aggro, the only non red deck that I played agaist was Bant enchants and won.
So I don't want to play aggro but I need to find a midrange deck that can withstand it. I was playing the new version of junk rites btw

So I can build any deck without
Voice of resurgence and dosnt contain blue,

Any cind of help welcome and appreciated;)

 {Blood Baron of Vizkopa} with  {Rhox Faithmender} is a great anti agro deck. Once you stabilize, agro has very little way to overcome you.

Also don forget  {Blind Obedience}

Lol I just said what deck to play.
Or do you want me to put a list together for you?

I'll bump my token switch deck. Try that.

{R}{W}{B} midrange with {Boros Reckoner}, {Rhox Faithmender}, and {Blood Baron of Vizkopa}.  Gives you access to cheap burn to keep their field clear, as well.

I know you said no blue but azorious detain hexproof. The detain and hexproof basically makes mostly no problem with aggro

You can use some simple white control with detain and  {Blind Obedience} things with only white, and things like  {Victim of Night} kill, while things like  {Oblivion Ring} take care of  {Voice of Resurgence} and  {Thragtusk} safely. For hexproof, you can use things like  {Glaring Spotlight}. However, counter is mostly blue, sorry.

Off you do use blue., certainly use  {Counterflux}.

Here's a VERY underrated card that I sb against aggro along with 4 {Centaur Healer}: {Cathedral Sanctifier}. It buys you 2 turns against aggro early.

I play an extremely aggressive naya midrange deck and usually have no problem with Aggro. Turn 2 reckoners/loxidon smiters halt Aggro in its tracks.

What about a control deck with lots of cards with fateful hour mechanic to throw a speed bump at them and through in cards to reclaim the game?
