I mean he dodges languish, he's 3 mana
And puts the opponent on a clock

And draws them a card every turn. He's a bad bad card!

Cut him for {Hangarback Walkers}

I'm not particularly fond of hangarbacks in the aggro variant
But I appreciate the input I'll have to do some testing, I mean master puts them on a huge time clock in this format

A clock means they don't have much time to draw out of a scenario. Master gives them 2x the draw so the clock doesn't change much. Also in a format of Thopters everywhere this guy gets chomped for days.

I'm a bit biased bc I think Master is the worst card printed bc it entices players to play with bad cards. Like he looks good but in reality he's terribad!

I mean languishes back him up and then what I think the 2x draw is okay when I wipe 3-4 creatures off the board

Three months ago I wouldn't have even considered it, but with the advent of languish.. Just perfect curve.

Why would you run languish in an aggro deck? It kills half your creatures including a monstrous Fleecemane.

Plus you're not even mainboarding it so the languish point isn't really relevant. I see the appeal to master but trust he's sooo bad!!

Wow just realized 4 e wilds??? Why??

Because temples are rotating and I dun wanna bleed myself dry with pains.

It's just a test land base, it's been pretty cute so far

When I swap to the control plan I drop the fleecemanes and rakshasa and put sheep and languish in
