Not enough bang for buck. It's a 2/3 for {R}, which is awesome, but all my other stuff outpaces it. Didn't make the cut unfortunately

Knight get huge with all my fetches and helps pump up my {steppe linx}. She gets bigger than loxodon very easily and they are the same cmc.

I'm toying with the idea of cutting the collected company and adding black mana sources for {siege rhino}. Any thoughts on that?

I have seen zoo lists with rhino do well.  Rhino is awesome and I am biased wheb it comes to promoting him cuz I am hoarding 15 foils lmao and actively trading for more ;)

Not a bad idea. Anything else to splash black for?
Title: Re: Zoolander

Thoughtsieze is the first thing that comes to mind, but I'm sure there's more.

Sideboard {Leyline of the Void}, {Surgical Extraction}. Removal?
Title: Re: Zoolander
Post by: Spencer Addington on April 22, 2015, 08:54:20 PM
The sideboard does need a lot of work, but I need the physical have the deck to play test at my lgs. I'm a little more than half way done trading for the deck, and when I whittle it down a little more I'll buy the rest. I don't think I'll be adding any black. It opens doors but almost muddles the deck. The only reason I would add black is for {siege rhino}, which doesn't feel like enough of a reason. Maybe when I can playset.

I like the idea of rhino here. I've played with 5c zoo a bit, and rhino is amazing there. He seems especially good because of lingering souls being so freaking prevalent right now. You probably dont even need anything else to splash for, other than maybe SB abrupt decay.

A CMC creature in a deck that really wants them all under 3 seems bad... But that's just me.
Title: Re: Zoolander
Post by: Spencer Addington on April 25, 2015, 10:20:08 PM
Sideboard time!
3 {Beast Within} General removal that's really diverse.

2 {Phyrexian Revoker} For those nasty Kiki jiki/all planeswalkers/ anything else that's annoying and has an activated ability

2 {Thalia, Guardian of Thraben} Surprisingly good against control and very good against storm

1 {Boros Charm} One of protection/4 damage to the face/ double strike thing. I may add more

3 {Stony Silence} Affinity hate

2 {Shattering Spree} General amazing artifact hate

2 {Ethersworn Canonist} Storm/all other decks

Took second again. I've changed the list again to cards I actually have. My lgs allows proxies(like, entire decks) but is doesn't feel like a win when I don't have the physical cards. Things that are being played in my meta are:

Midrange Jund
Tron Gifts
4 Color Gifts(crazy home brew that I actually love)
American Control
Sultai Delver
R/G Tron
Melira Company
Boros Burn
Hate Bears
Grixis Twin
Goyf Twin
Abzan Control
