Deck discussion for Just Aggro

So, this qualifies as "casual" for your group? ^^

I think the deck is quite good as it is with some subtle synergies. Here a fewthings that might possible be improved:

* Apostel's Blessing doesn't work that great with Reckoner.
* There are no 2-drop creatures
* Pyretic Ritual somehow fixes that but is card disadvantage
* Vexing Devil, as good as it is, doesn't really count as a creature (and your creature count is quite low)

Considering all of that combined I do think you would be better off replacing a Blessing with a cc2 creature. Something like Stigma Lasher, Ash Zealot or whatever fits your meta.

Lol we've been playing together for years so we take it quite seriously.

Stigma lasher is a great one, even if I only use it for intimidation, it serves its purpose well. Now that being said if I can get a hit on someone with him, this deck will benefit greatly from that. I know there's the whole stigma with vexing devil and all, but he's served me well with every red build I've put him in so I gotta have him.

Really the only card I'm now reconsidering is thundermaw hellkite, he's a huge threat, but he's an even bigger target. Don't know what I can do about that though...at any rate I've now purchased this deck as is (SB included) and I'll be able to let you know how it goes this saturday!

One more deck I'd like you to take a peek at, it's not done yet so all suggestions are welcome. I'm going to be posting it to DHA soon as well.

I didn't mean to cut the Devils, I just pointed out that it doesn't really count as a creature and that your general creature count is already quite low. I mentioned hom as another justification to replace the Blessings with creatures.

Ahh, I gotcha, if I see him come out, especially on turn 1, I'll usually always take the 4 life. Blessings was cool, but other than using it to protect thundermaw, it didnt really serve any other purpose. You're definitely right about stigma lasher too, adding him really cleaned up the deck. Sample hands look much nicer. Thanks again for taking a look at this one!

That Stigma Lasher is vicious ! Would Giant growth be better than mutagenic growth here or did you use mutagenic for format legality ? Kird Ape and some dual lands or even just splash some forests in to make him the 2/3 would be cool in here too.

Mutagenic growth is here mainly to use on stigma lasher or monastery swiftspear for free letting me pyroclasm and not kill them...if I'm lucky enough to have that ready. Mainly I just use it because I want to be able to use my mana for other things.

I really like the kird ape idea, I'm gonna clone this deck and see what that looks like before changing it here.

This deck is really vicious in real play btw. With SB as it is now, I have enough stuff to put a stop to most aggro hate.

Glad you like it!
