Deck Description

My post rotation deck of choice, Mardu Aggro, the natural evolution of my current Mono Black Aggro into the new standard format.

How to Play

Take advantage of the very core of the Mardu tribe with speed and synergy unmatched by any other. Swarm the board with tokens and Purphoros, feed them to the butcher and watch your life total rise, or just swing with them and see the look on your opponents face as rabblemaster and akroan hoplite get giant for massive damage!

* replaced 4x goblin rabblemaster with 3x cavalry pegasus and 1x war-name aspirant due to rabblemaster rising to near 20$ per and and the pegasus' good synergy with the deck. In balancing this, I decided to try -2 brimaz and -1 purphoros for +2 fabled hero and +1 cavalry pegasus. (I have since gotten my hands on a couple rabblemasters, which is why the deck has been slightly modified to allow room for the token spammers.)

Deck discussion for Mardu Aggro

I like it. A lot! I'd serious consider Thoughtseize though.

Don't give up on Mono Black Aggro though. There are solid option there still come Khans. I'd love to see what you could come up with.

Thanks for the comment! it looks like it will be a blast to play, and I foresee a lot of people dying to ride down and deflecting palm in many different decks. I would consider thoughtsieze, but I only have one of them, and this is going to get expensive as it its. maybe once I finish it I can look to get more. As for my Mono Black, I haven't given up on it, it's served me very well so far, and now I'm using it in the beginning to get packs towards finishing this deck. not including basic lands, I have 19/50 cards for this so far haha.

Yea, Ride Down is going to be a big play almost every time it's cast. And Deflecting Palm will just add insult to injury.

haha, understandable about price and collecting. I'd say the only downside to this site is it seems to be very geared toward budget modern or combos in standard and if your deck isn't either of those, or created by a few certain members, it seems to go overall unnoticed. But I really like what you did here.

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. I have 23 different decks on here around several different ideas, and only about 3 of them have even a single comment lol. At least on TO you can cycle one of your decks each day so it doesn't get buried into obscurity, but alas that's blocked here for some reason. anyway, my only real concern with this deck is the mana base. it seems a little too big for an agro deck and a little too painful with all the pinging to be consistant, but if I lower it, there's too big of a risk of not getting the needed colors. It's a hard balancing act.
