by JKowitski on 29 January 2010

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (15 cards)

Creatures (1)


Instants (2)


Artifacts (2)

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

Unearth Bloodquake. This deck should show really well against decks like Vamps and Jund, as it can be slow played to create position advantage, or played fast and aggressively to win the race.

The SB is pretty straightforward, Banefire and Ufooting to beat the control, Thought Hemo because it's too good to pass up, and such.

Vicious.
All I could say is... Chanda might be better swapped with Ablaze if you're going Blightning and Lightning bolt the opponent down. having even 3 of either cast before Ablaze goes off is worth it. My own critique of her is that she is 6 rather than 5, and that makes ALL the difference with a Planeswalker. Given you have a fair amount of fast aggro, wouldn't be too much of an issue.

Id like to see how this does in the present T2 tourney circuit.

Well this list was piloted at a 5K just after Worldwake's release and the results were plain not good. The Chandra is not in the list for fun burn tricks, she's a top shelf walker against control decks, especially the version of U/W control that was coming up at the time.

The deck loses flat out to Geopede and Vengvine Jund, probably does pretty well against mythic. The biggest issue with this deck today is the prevalence of Wall of Omens. The title characters in this show are the Bloodghasts who at the time made slower decks just cringe. Now they can bounce the bloodghast of a wall all day long. Same goes for the hellspark elementals.

Interestingly, my own responses to your reply have given me a few ideas to tweak the deck and maybe get something better out of the list....maybe ill work on it now.
