Just trying to decide which satyr to run with this upcoming FNM. My gut says {firedrinker satyr} because I can burn all unused mana into it and it's a guarantied 2 power, but {Satyr hoplite} could help with all of the targeting spells and make it bigger. Any suggestions?

I would go with the fire drinker satyr.

17 lands seems like it would very often screw you for that 3rd land which is key for Rabblemaster.

My bad -1 Frenzied +4 Firedrinker +1 Mountain

Firedrinker is a 2 power 1 drop it puts a fast clock on the opponent and as an aggro deck who cares about your life total

No, 18-19 should be fine. Running 20 is asking for a flood.

Well that would explain why I've been drawing to much mana even though the template I used for my build called for 20 mountains

Progress report: I played with 4 {firedrinker satyr} MB and 3 {satyr hoplite} SB. Most players are running red removal including {circle of flame} in the SB. firedrinker is no bueno against that so I'm going to run at least 3 Hoplite because he has the potential to get above that damage. Got flooded with 6 lands against mardu. Going to try some fetch lands, at least 4 and see how it plays out. Got 4th at my local.
