I like it, let me know how it works out. Similar deck to this at one of the States tourny

Did you NetDeck this? Looks insanely viable, sideboard is nicely put together as well

The only thing I took from the net is to use {Olivia Voldarren} over the {Falkenrath aristocrat} I did have in the deck already. My SB is built to beat my meta right now. W/U aggro, GW aggro, Zombies, tokens, and control are all played. With zombies being the front runner deck of choice.

Nothing wrong with NetDecking, and putting this deck on the forums lets us look at and improve what has already been proven successful.

Thragtusk seems present in at least 1 of the top 2 decks in every tourney I look at... The card is just so good!

ChrisRodriguez · October 17, 2012, 02:35:58 AM

{thragtusk} is the best creature in standard right now because it can be in any deck that has even a little {G} splashed in it.

ChrisRodriguez · October 18, 2012, 09:51:39 PM

Updated the list a little. I added a 3rd {Liliana of the Veil}.

Coffee Vampire · October 18, 2012, 09:54:54 PM

Dude this looks great. I like the creature count. I also like 3x liliana. How does this run against BUG aggro?

The only aggro deck that gives me problems is Azorius aggro. Just because of {Lyev Skyknight} and {Geist of Saint Traft}. That's why I put an other {Liliana of the Veil}. Haven't played much against BUG aggro decks much though. The ones I have played haven't been that great though. I think it has to do with the mana. Not having the other {B}{U} or {U}{G} lands to make it more consistent.

Oh hah sorry I meant WUB. Or bant.

And yeah traft is an issue...mutilate gets the job done, so does magmaquake (gets rid of jace who probs has 2 loyalty) but probs should not run it because of the skyknights. And there is always mizzi um mortars. But by that time they already got a lot of damage in.

I haven't run into any Esper decks, but what makes dealing with {Geist of Saint Traft} is the fact that the Azorius aggro and bant decks are also running {Negate}. I can get the later geist pretty easily but the turn 2 or 3 geist is a problem when followed by {Lyev Skyknight}. I am running 2 {Mizzium Mortars} and 4 {Bonfire of the Damned}. And with a 3rd {Liliana of the Veil} is shouldn't have as much trouble early with geist. I have {Dreadbore} to deal with {Jace, Architect of Thought}. Plus {Bonfire of the Damned} can damage it as well. The deck is well rounded and fun to play.

ChrisRodriguez · October 20, 2012, 12:56:08 PM

I got 1st place last night. Going 5-0 into top 8 then went finishing the night 8-0. I played against 2 Bant aggro decks, 1 BR zombies, 1 4CC, 1 American control, 2 Azorius aggro, 1 Jund zombies. Not in any order just the decks I played against. Only the 4CC and american control where the only decks I lost a match to. {Liliana of the Veil} was an all star last night....only cause I played against {Geist of Saint Traft} 4 times last night. The true break out star that was great against every deck I played.... {Olivia Voldaren}.

ChrisRodriguez · October 23, 2012, 08:14:41 PM

Updated the list....I added {Bump in the Night} to the deck. I hope it works out as well as it has in play testing.

ChrisRodriguez · October 27, 2012, 11:32:02 AM

Went undefeated again. I had changed the SB before I went because I figured ppl would be playing {Witchbane Orb}, and I was right luckly. So I added {Ancient Grudge} before FNM. {Zealous Conscripts} were added to the SB for the control match ups. It was fun stealing {Tamiyo, the Moon Sage} then ultimate her so my opponent didn't get to.

ChrisRodriguez · October 28, 2012, 07:37:49 PM

Updated the list....even though it wins if you don't change a few cards here and there ppl will adapt to the deck and beat it.
{Thundermaw Hellkite} made it into the deck.
