lol. yeah, a 2/2 haste, first strike for RR sure does suck....Ash Zealot is still one of the best red 2 drops in the format. you suggest its removal, but offer no replacement. terrible advice.

Blarg, I meant Devour FLesh. I just hate that card.
the master of waves isnt in this deck to make tokens. its in the deck to buff the tokens that YP makes. I dont know why thats so hard for people to see...
i am playtesting RTB extensively. in my unbeaten Obzedat whip control deck. I will tell you that read the bones on turn 3 is every bit as powerful as Preordain on turn 1. if you dont like the card, thats on you. i stand by my comment about it being one of the most powerful cards in the set. Obzedat has a lot of answers right now that Aetherling simply gets around. you need a reliable wincon in a deck like this. Obzedat is better as a one of than anything here, unless you have whip to mess with and keep him around. Aetherling is a more consistent wincon in THIS deck.
I would mainboard Aurelia's Fury. its pretty good with Heroic, if you use the right guys. you can target each of your dudes at the end of the opponents turn and get the buffs if you have free mana late game, or you can use it on your turn to clear the path for your dudes to get through
Read the Bones is fine in the deck. its a scry 2, then draw, which is super powerful. if you never played with Preordain, which was banned in Modern, because it was TOO good in control, I guess you wouldnt understand until you play with RTB. it lets you set up your next two turns, or draw through a bunch of land you dont want. that card is one of the best in the set.
needs Whip of Erebos more than it needs Erebos. the interaction between Whip and Obzedat means that Obzedat can die and youre not sad because you can get him back for 4 mana, as long as you exile him to his ability and dont leave him on the BF after you bring him back from the yard. check out my Orzhov Control deck. played an event yesterday, went 3-1.http://www.mtgvault.com/ninjastyle612/decks/orzhov-control-t2-theros/
yes, it will. you have to cast the spell to use Nivmagus's ability, and then exile it before it resolves. Young P triggers on the casting.
went 3-1 and got 3rd. I won the "mirror match" (he didnt run Garruk or Scavenging Ooze) I beat slivers, Grixis Mill, and Red Green...something...all in 2 games. all in all, pretty good, I would say. had a bit of trouble with Ashiok in the grixis matchup, but the overwhelming attack pulled me through.
Im running a very close build tonight at FNM. ill report after :)
lol master of waves is SO good here...he isnt running him to make the 1/0 tokens, hes running him to buff the elementals he aleady makes with Young P.
I would run the other hydra from theros, or even Scavenging OOze.
its Fact or Fiction. its awesome.
and I see someone who ignores dead draws and ACTUAL card restrictions, which cannot be fixed by correcting your mana base.
rotates tomorrow
no, I do not want to argue because I have better things to do than give a shit what you have to say. you choose to ignore my VALID points in favor of your weaker ones. goodnight.
the only thing that is dumb here is chronoexe, as per usual. DoomBlade is not going to be good in this format. you cant get aetherling with them, you cant get Desecration Demon with them, Blood baron, Obzedat, ect ect. there is nothing you CAN get that makes it worth running a spell with so much drawback when there is a clearly better option available. im done with this, I wont argue with the blind.
lmao. Jund runs a 1GB spot removal, buddy. your argument is invalid.
if you are losing to a turn 2 creature in a control deck full of sweepers, then YOURE bad. it has nothing to do with the creature on turn two. too many people forget that their life total is a resource and they just NEED to kill that Ash Zealot RIGHT away. if youre a contril deck, youre holding open for counterspells and card draw most of the time anyways, and taking 2 damage wont kill you, unless you are running Shock lands, Thoughtseize AND RTB. Doomblade and UP have their place, but its in the sideboard. the OBVIOUS mainboard option for contril spot removal is Heros D.
and many have been won because of the versatility of a card. how many times have you been holding a doom blade and your opponent plays Desecration Demon? how about holding price vs Aurelia? there is a reason many top players started using Murder toward the end of the rotation, and HD is just an AMAZING murder.
