3 {might makes right} seems expensive but funny.

lol I built a deck like this using {fling} as the sac outlet.  Important thing is you have cheap, and even free, sac outlets 👍

Doing sample draws, the deck actually looks like it might run pretty well, considering I built it as a joke to harass people. It might struggle against super-agro, and it probably loses to control, but it might be okay. I'm still getting the cards together, but will be sure to post how this deck actually performs against others once I get it up and running :)

I like this. Going to run it tomorrow also but I added 2 {Xenagos, God of Revels} for extra laughs.

Hah! Good luck! I'll be running mine tomorrow as well - let me know how you do with it!

I love it! I saw one similar using {Battlefield Thuamaturge} to cast instants cheaply!

I originally had blue in here for thaumaturge and {Perplexing Chimera} for laughs. Ending up cutting it because I didn't want to spend the money on a 3-color mana base :P

How did you do?

Was at a wedding all day today (technically yesterday) so I missed the game day for Saturday, but I'll be going to another game day tomorrow (technically today) and finally get to play around with this baby at about 3:00pm. Wish me luck! About to sleep up for it now

Good luck! Hope you do better than I did.... 😜

Went 0-3 drop. It's all about the match ups. Lost to Esper control, White Weenies, Mono Red Agro. What were the odds?

Thanks :P what did you run? And what kind of decks gave you problems? I'm making last minute adjustments. I think I'm going to mainboard one of the reclamation sages over a copy of act of treason, and possibly a 4th rattleclaw over a 3rd might makes right.

I figure having one rec. sage as a chord target main board wouldn't be a bad idea, just in case.

:( esper control is still a thing? Ew.

Yeah, the deck has an awful lineup against white weenie. Red agro isn't much better. That's some rough luck

Did awful, but at least it was fun. Had some rotten draws, and got screwed by {Gods Willing} a lot. :(

Apparently. The heroic deck is a thing again, thanks to the pro tour, where I'm told it went 7-3. It's cheap ($-wise) and pilots itself with minimal thinking. There were 3 people running the deck today, out of only 14 players, just because of how cheap and easy it is to run.

I never enjoyed heroic decks. Or heroic in general.
