KTK Bug Walkers

[MuggyWuggy]

Added disdainful strokes - because more counters are good
Added villainous wealth for a win con
Took out reapers, just too slow at times, great walls and pushers, but the deathdealer a really handle defense and offense well and they don't cost "6" mana to play.
Took out pearl lake ancient - too slow for my deck, ends up being a dead card

I had tried æther spouts  for MB x2, but id prefer lower curve counters for late game. 2 mana for answer to siege rhino and stoke the flames is a thing in my book

[MuggyWuggy]

Replaced 2x disdainful with just one dissipate.
Added 2x horizon chimera
Removed 1x urborg

Why horizon chimera? I need life gain. I find myself being hurt with tap lands and thoughtseizes, then a few rhinos or lightning strikes and I'm dead. Courser of kruphix only gains life when you play a land, chimera can flash in EOT 3/4 & begin gaining you life consistently and also is a good flash blocker for mantis rider or chump for sarkhan. Plus it's offense as a flyer is nice consistent pecks. Gonna test with this build for a lil longer. I think the chimera has worked really well. Other options not so much.

Only other life gain options I have are:
Bow - expensive to cast, a little slow IMO
Whip - not enough creatures in deck and expensive to cast
Green instant - 5 or 10 life is nice, but so random.

Constant testing vs my jeskai legends build (USA tempo) and its pretty damn strong.

The horizon in for flash is wonderful; also, the synergy with jace ultimate is faboo. Villainous wealth is a fun card. Risky but very fun, I may get rid of it for another jace. Casting it with x for 4 is pretty successful vs jeskai.

23 land has been ok for the most part, I've only had one game I can recall recently with painful mana draw. I don't think ill be adding more and If I do, it'll be another yavimaya or temple of deciet. Having no problem with black mana at all. Sometimes the blue.

Keeping total of 6 counters mainboard. I'm usually stabilizing (even at 1 life vs burn) and holding off all threats while continuing to regain life/mana.
The PWs do the rest of the work for me.

As much as I miss the reaper, the horizon chimera has been far more beneficial.

Current build

Bile blight moved to SB
Removed hornets nest
Added disdainful stroke to SB
Sultai charm moved to MB
Giving empty the pits a shot this week, I've had games going with a large GY and villanous wealth is too slow at sorcery for me as I prefer leaving land open till end of turn

[LinkCelestrial]

{Empty the Pits} Has been a KILLER one of in my {Sidisi, Brood Tyrant} deck. I'm debating making it a two of, but I only ever really want to draw one. Highest I've done it for is x = 15. My only regret is the negative effect on my {Nighthowler}s. I don's see you having that problem but I do wonder if you'd ever really cast it for much? Let me know how it goes.

[MuggyWuggy]

Cast it twice tonight, it's wonderful, I went on Dylan's suggestion

My chimeras kept me alive to win a game slowly when I was down to 4.

Ashiok has been dominating this week even with land mill. I've had several games where people just scoop at 20 life.

Love the deck think its pretty solid, temur Aggro is pretty strong against it though if I'm on the draw.

But the meta is 60% - 70%  Abzan 25%-30% Jeskai, dealing with Aggro is the only issue, but that almost just becomes an issue on what you start with.

It's a real fun great deck

Really happy to see this. I have been working on making a deck like this but something just felt missing. I think i found it in your horizon chimeras though!

[MuggyWuggy]

Seriously
Horizon chimera helps evasion attack and consistent life gain, and a body you can flash EoT

I think I need to pick up a few.

[MuggyWuggy]

Test it, I found it better than reaper

I for sure need to pick up a few.

[redwolv]

Have you played against temur aggro? I went 2-1 last night at fnm with my lost being against that. I found with him going first a turn 3 knuckleblade would be really hard to remove.
Any suggestions?

My other games was
Mardu midrange which sideboard about a dozen cards and became aggro for second game 2-0
And abzan mindrange 2-0 last game i owe the chimera cause he got me from 1 health to 4 just in time for a seige rhino to drop me to 1 again.

[MuggyWuggy]

Temur Aggro for me has been a nasty matchup, requires sideboard IMO, perhaps a hornet nest in the SB.

The knuckle blade is nasty for sure, I may also consider a {nullify} in SB, stops mantis and knuckle faster

Or even Mistcutters
Prot blue is hilarious

Was hoping for more after-the-fact removal but nullify is definitely going into my sideboard for now

[MuggyWuggy]

The SB is still not solid yet as the meta changes a little bit in my area, so that's what I'm trying to figure out currently

Rug Aggro was definitely a tough matchup for me.

Nullify stops those stupid boon satyr drops also which is nice. Those can hurt really fast.
