Deck discussion for Atomic Kittens

Soo... it's like almost Zoo, but instead of red/green being dominant, it's white/green... No Kird Apes or Loam Lions in sight. Very interesting. The only critique I feel I am eligible to make, due to my inexperience with this sort of deck, is the lack-luster nature of Sarkhan. While he is a five-drop dragon, he's a five drop dragon that can be destroyed on the counterswing, and being a non-creature spell is alarmingly annoying in modern these days. I would recommend, if you were looking for a fatty five-drop hastey, Thundermaw Hellkite. He's waaaaaay too fun and hits for a surprisingly relevant point more than Sarkhan. If you're afraid of your beasty being brought low by removal, Stormbreath Dragon is always a pro-white option (Get around path, pretty much).

So, yeah, my only complaint is the Sarkhan. Other than that, it is almost like pod and zoo had a weird baby, I like it.

The thing is, Sarkhan doesn't just become a dragon, he is a beautiful little package, since he can be a removal spell, pressure, that usually finishes, the ultimate is stupidly good here, this is a Big Zoo so relies on bigger dudes and right now in modern, making my opponent attack Sarkhan instead of me for a turn is well worth it as it gives me another turn to smash the face, so he is either gonna stay alive, kill something/become a creature or attack for 4 and kill something, and timewalk their attack step so I'm happy either way!

I suppose the nature of the swiss army knife warrants mention, but I don't know... Your argument about the counter swing being directed at him himself is actually quite interesting. I suppose to absorb a four-five point swing from delver should be considered stupendous, and I guess it would require some play testing to find merit in that. Still, I'd need to pilot it to find out percentages and what-not, it just seems bad to have your check/checkmate get caught by their previously dead spell pierce on turn four game one. I'll defer to your judgement for now, but I'll get my hand on some Zoo variants to check for myself soon.

most delver decks have cut the spell pierce and if they got it, hopefully they used it to counter removal or the such like, its not too hard to bait the delver decks, just need to do a lot of baiting!

I've seen yours, can you critic mine? It's a bit... weird, but I think it's quite sick.
