Thats fair

Good otherwise do you think? Obviously if I FINALLY get lucky with some packs (lucky pack pulls are not what I'm best at...) and get some Brimazs I'll play more. I don't think I'd go above 3 though.

He's playable as a 4 of but 3 seems fine for this deck. Go down a precinct when you get there cause 3 toughness is rampant right now.

bump. won't do this any more if people aren't commenting, sorry if I'm wasting space on this page with my deck

You are at the point of testing so get back to us on what youre having trouble with and then we will have more input or you.

Ok, good idea. Sorry

So far I've been occasionally having trouble hitting land #3. That's a problem with having a HUGE number of 3 drops, but I think it was just bad draws and should be ok.

What are peoples' thoughts on {eidolon of countless battles}? Also just want to say I'm really happy; I traded for about half this deck at the prerelease today

I'm thinking of using the eidolon instead of brimaz in case I can't get enough brimaz because of the price.

What are peoples' thoughts on {eidolon of countless battles}? It seems like it would be good in this build with {precinct captains}. It even gets bigger when the captain hit a player and deals +1 damage because the captain has first strike!

I noticed 3 BIG problems with this deck: {drown in sorrow}, {bile blight}, and {fated retribution}. I think I might need {dissolve}s or some other counterspell back in the sideboard. What do you guys think?

I think I could cut the spirits of the labyrinth for {dissolve}s or {syncopate}s. They are for sphinx's rev, but control can just rev in response or kill it.

Ekann1 · February 09, 2014, 07:11:37 PM

Can someone please give their opinion on this last question?

I'll stop bumping this back up. Sorry.

Maybe some ideas will spur off my control Aggro variant below this it's also W/u

It's about how you play against those cards more than whats on your deck. You dont want to be leaving mana open in a agressive deck instead of applying pressure. Just apply your pressure in ways that dont blow you out. So play 3+ toughness dudes with your 2 toughness dudes against black. Always have a follow up game ender like brimaz or precinct for the verdict.

^agreed

Also don't second guess your calls, it's Aggro so be aggressive.

Make a play and make it the right play, it's when you backpedal and try to cover your last play that you waste resources.

Ok. Good advice. Also, SB changes: -1 Gideon, +1 {Elsepth, suns champion}. Elsepth is better in the agro mirror.
