Does {Loam Lion} fit into this deck?
Quote from: Spencer Addington on February 12, 2014, 04:00:21 PMIt's removal and can be a lot of damage to the face. Usually it deals 4-5 damage
What is tribal flames for?

Quote from: Leevai420 on February 12, 2014, 05:14:40 PMNotice the basic subtypes on shocklands like {breeding pool} and {overgrown tomb}: they count for domain. {Boros charm} is just a worse {tribal flames} (you already have an amazing matchup against sweeper-running decks). {Path to exile} could be useful against tron and pod, but that's about it.Quote from: abstractApathist on February 12, 2014, 04:12:28 PMQuote from: Spencer Addington on February 12, 2014, 04:00:21 PMIt's removal and can be a lot of damage to the face.

With 1 basic in the deck this is a dead card..
Kird ape an Loam lion are a must. Boros charm against sweepers, and path to exile for big creatures that helix or bolt can't get rid of.

I can't afford a playset of {Tarmagoyf}

Quote from: ImTheGuy on February 13, 2014, 08:33:16 AMYeah I was thinking that Merfolk might be a poor matchup, thnx I added a few to finish off the SB
I have a zoo deck myself. {Combust} works pretty well as a four of in the sideboard. Helps a lot with Merfolk, Twin, Soul Sisters, really anything that has blue or white creatures you'll want to deal with. Those three are just problems for me.
Quote from: Silent1236 on February 13, 2014, 01:47:19 PMYeah man idk what wizards was thinking, this deck is so powerful with Nacatl.
.....Woah. Saw that Nacatl was unbanned and managed to still forget about zoo existing. I've actually wanted to play Zoo for a while haha. May be my next big project...

After testing Moneekah and I are dropping 3 {Lingering Souls} for a {Steppe Lynx} and 2 paths. We're impressed with how consistent lynx is now even late game thanks to knight. Still might try out kird ape
Quote from: ImTheGuy on February 15, 2014, 11:55:45 AMBoth are most appealing to me because they don't die to {Pyroclasm}Quote from: imthelolrus on February 15, 2014, 11:35:55 AMQuote from: Silent1236 on February 13, 2014, 01:47:19 PMYeah man idk what wizards was thinking, this deck is so powerful with Nacatl.

{Kird Ape} and {Loam Lion} are both very good.
Quote from: Spencer Addington on February 16, 2014, 10:54:46 PMIt seems like after a {blood moon} is resolved, this deck may just concede if it can't burn its opponent out. {Blood moon} shrinks {wild nacatl} and stops this deck from playing all of its green and blue spells (and {Elspeth, Knight-Errant}).
How much does {blood moon} affect this deck?
Quote from: abstractApathist on February 16, 2014, 11:00:21 PMYep stops it cold, if this deck ends up being popular {sowing salt} and {blood moon} will be more prevelent in sideboards. So far I've been impressed and unimpressed with how this verson of zoo performs, I want to try other builds eventuallyQuote from: Spencer Addington on February 16, 2014, 10:54:46 PMIt seems like after a {blood moon} is resolved, this deck may just concede if it can't burn its opponent out. {Blood moon} shrinks {wild nacatl} and stops this deck from playing all of its green and blue spells (and {Elspeth, Knight-Errant}).
