I like it!!! The only issue i have found with these 3 color aggro decks is that you really need your first land to come into play untapped and that comes at the cost of paying a lot of life to cast your spells. Sometimes it is better to pick a straight aggro or straight midrange strategy. Also I think you need to put 4 Goblin Rabblemaster in the deck he super powerful and works really nicely with butcher of the horde.

I know I will be paying life, but with the added speed the game should be over before my life is concerned. Most people are still hooked on Scry lands or the life gain tap lands.
As far as Rabblemaster. I would rather have Bloodsoaked Champion because I can sacrifice it, attack, then get it straight back to the field where if someone were to just kill of my rabblemaster, I can't get him back from the graveyard; plus, he is not a turn one play which would slow down my deck considerately.
Awesome deck, i have a few thing i would change though.Beave is right to suggest Goblin Rabblemaster, but i can easily follow you in the fact that Bloodsoaked Champion is cool.My suggestion is to take out Generator Servants and maybe a single Zurgo for RabblemastersI played the mono-black aggro before the rotation and i must say that i am amazed of how well Herald of Torment works. I would replace your Master of Feasts with Heralds of Torment
I'll think about the Rabblemasters...the reason I have Generator Servant is for a turn three Zurgo, Iroas with an extra untapped land to play another creature, Utter End, or even a really cool turn 5 play of a Butcher of the Horde and Master of the Feast both with haste because of the Gen Serv mana; he is kind of important to me. Maybe you can convince me yet though. As far as Herald of Torment to replace Master of the Feast, could you explain a little more about that? The way i see it is either i'm getting a turn three 5/5 flyer with Master or a turn three 3/3 flyer that deals damage to me with Herald; I'm already going to be taking a bit of damage from using my lands, so I wouldn't really want to take more from my own creature. Yes I can bestow Herald later in the game, but that takes five mana slowing me down more.
the reason i say Herald is better is:1st: Master of the Feast gives negative card advantage where herald costs 1 life each turn. I it much easier to race a -1 life than a card each turn., 2nd: Herald can be bestowed, which can either make your early game creatures scale better into late game or give your already powerful creatures flying to evade blockers and some ekstra power to finish him faster.3rd: a bestowed herald takes 2 kills, or an enchantment specific kill to get rid ofyes master is strong, but i've rarely casted a turn three herald. though it ain't a bad move in itself
Hi Majestic. I saw your comment asking for help on another deck. I'm going to give you my input and you can do as you please :)I see that a lot of my suggestions are going to be repeats, and that's for good reason. A lot of us have play tested several Mardu decks already and have been learning from it. 1. Fetch lands if you can afford them. At least 2 of the new Mire's. I don't like how you're running 12 pain lands (including Mana Confluence). I'd run at least 2 of each Temple - Silence/Triumph/Malice, or two Silence and two Malice. Then 2 Urborg's should be enough. You have to remember that if your opponent is running Swamps, you don't want to give them the ability to use your swamp(urborg) if they are also running pain lands. I know that the pain lands are awesome for instant mana but you're not running any lifegain, with the exception of Soldier of the Pantheon. It's going to hurt you overall. In my Mardu I'm running 2x Bloodstained Mire, 2x Mana Confluence, 4x Mountain, 4x Plains, 4x Swamp 2x each temple and 2x Urborg. It rolls out pretty nicely. Enough has been said about Goblin Rabblemaster. He's OP.I'd Sideboard the Soldier of the Pantheon. Great card, but I'm not seeing the overall effect in this deck. Sideboard it and bring it into the main if you're running against non-mono decks for the lifegain. In the mean time, I'd main in at least 2x Stormbreath Dragon, if not 4. You might benefit more from Indulgent Tormentor, than you would from Master of the Feast. Especially since you're not playing any scry lands. Either your opponent takes 3 dmg, sacks a creature, or you draw an additional card.As awesome as Iroas is (I ran him for 3 months in my Boros Deck), check out Purphoros. With all your 1/2 drops he's amazing. Add in your Rabblemaster and Purphoros is doing a minimum 2 dmg per turn. You're running great Instant spells. Check out Mardu Ascendancy. Boss card right there for Mardu decks. I run 2 in mine and it pays off more so than not.My two cents. You have a good build going, but the synergy is just not quite there.Here's a link to my Mardu deck. http://www.mtgvault.com/irishwrath/decks/mardu-flying-aggro/
I think 4 dragons may be too many, he already has Zurgo on the top as well and i believe it is better to play both than to choose, since they are devastating against different decks and they are both strong overall
Wow. Excellent feedback thank you. I wish I could afford fetch lands lol. I was seriously contemplating whether to put stormbreath dragon or Zurgo in. Adding Indlugent Tormentor slows me down a little more as well as scry lands. I think I will go with Abbysial and add Herald of Torment. Purphuros is a good suggestion ill add him in and test it out with some of my friends since i have a few copies of him. As for lifegain Butcher does provide that for me too. Mardu Ascendancy would actually be pretty good too. Thanks.
what should i take out for ascendancy tho?
1 Utter End, 1 Hero's Downfall and 1 Crackling Doom. these are strong cards, but this being an aggressive deck you don't want too many non-creature spells
Ok. So I have made some changes. Thoughts now?
Take this sucker to FNM and report! :)
Haha sweet :D Is the land good how it is? thats pretty much my only concern right now. I needed to remove and ascendancy from the list because play testing with what I have I need 23 lands.
Might be a while till i report because I need to get temples and the ascendancies, but I might be dropping by the magic shop today if I'm lucky.
Most likely taking this to FNM tonight. Fingers crossed....Jeskai counter-burn has me worried.....
If it's any consolation, Jeski Combo got destroyed by Mardu Aggro at my local FNM location. The match was between two players that are well versed in MTG. Mardu player has been playing since the game started and the Jeski Combo player used to be a Judge. Both very good players with very good decks. It was awesome. I went 1-2 against the Jeskai Combo with my Abzan/Junk deck. He just had an awesome sideboard.Mardu went 5-0.Mind you. He's Mardu Aggro is completely different from what you're running, but I want to see how your version does.
Thanks for the encouragement. I've been play testing it for a little while with my friends. Like any deck, as long as I shuffle well its good. Even with a bad hand I can occasionally pull it off.
This might end up being my next Mardu project if this deck doesn't work out. Any advice to fine tune it?http://www.mtgvault.com/majesticshark/decks/mardu-tokens/
I can tell you right now that that deck doesn't have enough control to stabilize the board before it swings in with the tokens. I used to have a sweet Boros Mid-Range Token deck and that deck just doesn't have enough control IMO. I'd drop the Hordeling Outburst for Utter End's. Drop 1 Sorin, Add in 2 Stormbreath Dragon's, 2 Mardu Charms. I'd take out Launch the Fleet and Mainboard at least 2 Bile Blights. I don't even like Dictate of Heliod in there. I see why he has it. It's supposed to give you +3/+3 death touch tokens when you swing with Ankle Shanker, but there's not enough control to set it up. I'd be swinging in long before this deck is prepped to swing in the way it stands.I like the idea that's going on here, but Jeskai Combo would demolish that token deck. I mean DEMOLISH it. It's just too slow the way it is. I think you'd have a small chance with the changes I suggested. Plus, Bile Blight still kill's a good chunk of those tokens. Let's be realistic. You're going to have to be swinging in A LOT with Brimaz to even consider having Cat's swing in. You'd really just be swinging in with Goblin Tokens.The only saving grace would be to Sack a Mardu Ascendancy if you got Bile Blighted. There's just way too many things that have to be on the board and setup for that deck to be effective against other competitive decks. Casual, sure why not. Competitive. No way.Again, IMO.
Alright, I finally caved in. Rabblemaster is going in this deck instead of Generator Servant. I've had too many situations where I have drawn him, and he is useless.
You're going to love him. Either Rabblemaster or Bloodsoaked will now supply Butcher how he's supposed to be supplied.
Hey I made some edits to the token deck will you check it out please
Hey Irishwrath could you check out this version of my Mardu deck. Compare it to this version and tell me which you think is better please.http://www.mtgvault.com/majesticshark/decks/mardu-midrange/
