Thanks! :)True... ...against well constructed aggro decks, my total life usually decrease to 9-12 once, but than even 1 Thragtusk is enough most of the time... ...& I usually have a Restoration Angel to flick it, or another Thrag......I didn't experience the same problem with this deck/sometimes I chose not to cast Sorin early, but I could defend myselfe with Ring &/or Sever & I also can sideboard Abrupt Decay & 1 more Ring...I gain too many lives in this deck & the offense triggeres suddenly as I create a fast overrun over my opponent... ...the Wurm is perfect against those fast aggro decks, because it blocks the board off totally & the opponent has no wipes in aggro(that would be the only way to get rid of Armada totally)...I wonder if the deck would be better with 3x Lingering souls, no Vraska & only 3x Restoration Angel......now I'm building new decks for standard since Gatecrash came out... ...Skullcrack really blocks Thrag off...

This is a midrange deck, so I can cast my 5 mana things, like 3-4 mana stuff, because the ramp in the deck is smood...Against aggro, the Wurm & Serenity are perfect and so is Sever...This deck was built way before Gatecrash was revaled & I'm going to build my new decks now... ...I already have two new decks, but haven't made my tournament decl yet.......
Originally I wanted to use Hellrider & I just plane forgot it :)...thank you for reminding me! :)
Thanks!No I haven't & I think I can put togeather a better deck for FNM... ...I already have better decks though those were created before Gatecrash came out...I'm very disappointed with Gatecrash, because the best decks for standard now will not contain much cards of the expansion... ...the shocklands are fine, but about all the other cards are not needed in Bant control, USA control, Junk & Jund midrange.......
I only ultimate Vraska, when I have much creatures on board, so the opponent must block them & let the bigger creatures in... ...if I can't use the 2nd "Vindicate" ability of Vraska, than my opponent had to "waste" damage, or spell on her, instead of me, so I'm still ahead... ...Vraska is amazing, when I have another planeswalker on board & in every 3rd game, I have 2 or 3 walkers on board at the same time... ...she can wipe out threats, so the opponent is having quite a problem dealing with multiple walkers... ...no wipes will work... ...nothing..........token decks could easily have many tokens at the same time, expecially junk tokens... ...a fleshed back Lingering souls & an Intangible Virtue, or Sorin & there are already 8 damage & it's only the beggining... ...so Sever is very useful & it can also deal with reanimated Avacyn, or may be Lothleth Troll (anything that could regenerate, or is indestructible)... ...players also like to have two Huntmasters at the same time, than cast no spell to flip them both, so Sever is a horror for them....... :)
I've had the same idea (1 or 2 Golgari Keyrune(s) )....... :)Thanks for the compliment!I'll check your deck...
Not exactly how you are saying it... :)This deck is way better, than any Selesnya... ...the Charm is only good for one big creature & Sever is good for any creature, sometimes more, than only one & it's killer against tokens... ...also flashback.......Vraska actually doesn't suck... ...but she is the most "when to play" card in standard now... ...very few players know how to play it & none of the biggest names in mtg today......Selesnya decks aren't having enough removal, no matter the massive lifegain... ...dealing with many planeswalkers is a very difficult task... ...you can wipe out all creatures, but the walkers all stay & generate more creatures......this deck has been beating every type of top quality decks, though my Bant & America decks are better...Golgari Charm is good for many things, not just for enchantment removal... ...so Sundering Growth is way worse, though it's nice making wurm & beast tokens, also sorin vampires... ...but the Charm is still better for it's regenration ability..........the Healers are good, but not worth running in tournament decks...
The Devil is no Disadventage, but I've realized, that it's not really good here...The Shaman is a sideboard type of card... ...Slitherhead is awesome with the Troll & will be awesome with the Aristocrat, 'cuz I'm putting it in...Agree with the Searing Spear theory... ...Hellrider stayes!.. :)Thanks for checking some of my decks, man!
Thanks!...you are right about Vengeance... ...I should win be4 I could flash it back... ...I use Reverberate in the sideboard, but I'll just put it in the main deck......I'll put Ash in the sideboard...
Not bad aggro deck! :)...I'd change Soulcage for Knight of Infamy however......I'd drop Murder & 1 Slip, than add 3 Sever the Bloodline & 2 more Sign in Blood...
Thanks, man! :)I too like Terminus more, than Verdict & it's much effective in many situations... ...against undying & Gravecrawler as well......my tournament decks are Bant, America, B/U/G, Grixis & Junk... ...I also have a Jund, but it's worse, than the rest......this deck is only an experiment... ...I wanted to try this, because in a regular Azorius, you can use more control, than in 3 color decks & I was curious, if this could match up to my other decks, but it's not... ...this usually lose against Rakdos aggro & well constructed midrange decks..........though, this eleminates reanimator easily, because any reanimated biggie could be taken care of by Detention Sphere, Terminus, counters, Azorius Charm, than a counter, or Thought Scour, Devastation Tide, than a counter... ...and Rest in Peace eleminates reanimator entirely.......
I'd rather use burn, than Victim and Murder... ...and rather Dreadbore, than Decay (Decay is good for sideboard (2-3 copies)......that 2 Farseek is pointless... ...use Rakdos Keyrune instead!.....the Shaman is better for sideboard as well (3 copies)......use Searing Spear in main deck (3-4 copies) & Pillar of Flame in sideboard (3-4 copies)...Golgari Charm is also a great sideboard card, so is Rakdos Charm (2 copies of each)...I like the idea of the Geist, but with it & Messanger, you gonna' have color problems in the early game with your corrent mana base, wich is equal to a fatal tragedy...I'd use 1 more Blood Artist, 1 more Aristocrat and may be 3 Slitherhead (great for the Troll)......I'd use 2 Sever in the main deck and 1 more in the sideboard... ...I'd drop Savergary......somehow, you could put in 3 Hellrider...What do you think of this: http://mtgvault.com/poetmasterx/decks/sever-all-serenity/
I alwayes make sure to make the best decidions each time... :)My metagame depends on several points... ...do my opponent run wipes?.. ...does he/she play counters?.. ...etc......about what I play early, mid & late-game is at "how to play"......the only thing is, I rarely cast Restoration Angel with no Tusk, or Wurm on board...
The Shieldmate is pointless, since almost each creature you run have hexproof...
Thanks for your suggestion!.. :)...I'd rather use Bonfire(though I can't copy it with Chandra, when I cast it for it's miracle cost)...I'll check your deck...
Same thought here! :)...after seeing that card, Thragtusk automatically came to mind... ...that is a good sideboard card, but also could be usen in mainboard (2 copies)... ...in sideboard, 3 copies......thanks for your suggestion!.. :)
You are probably under the age of 13... :)...though this deck isn't any of my tournament decks, it still does not suck... ...for a mono color standard deck, these dayes, it kicks quite some ass......in the future, please, spare me from your thoughtless comments!.. :)
Thanks for your opinion, Seth! :)...I use a 3rd Agel in the sideboard, because it's awesome against aggro decks & also midrange, so is the Wurm, but against midrange, the Angel is better... ...having 3 of it garentees, that I'll draw at least 1... ...2 in a long ass game usually... ...it just changes the game as it is (most of the time)...
...what does the Bird do here?.. ...it's not standard legal...Daybreak Ranger is a sideboard type of card & Cagebrakers isn't a good one... ...I'd rather use Thragtusk, even if the curve get's a little higher with it......some cards that would be nice here: Nightshade Peddler, Strangleroot Geist(mainboard) - I have no idea what good would it do in your sideboard... .., Ulvenwald Tracker, Predator Ooze......if you have the time, check out my Junk midrange stuff: http://mtgvault.com/poetmasterx/decks/junky-conference/
...that's not an "ultimate combo"... ...an easy removal on the Angel & it's all shattered......you should drop Swift & 1 Beast Tracker, than add a 3rd Wurm, 2 more Blood Artist & 2 Sigarda......you have 14 lands that could add green mana, 13 white & 13 black... ...13/12/12 would be enough... ...so I suggest you drop a Grove & a Swamp, than add 2 Gavony Township(since Vault of the Archangel won't be of much use)......sideboards should be some Oblivion RIng, Rest in Peace, Ultimate Price, Nevermore, etc......if you have the time, check out my Junk midrange stuff: http://mtgvault.com/poetmasterx/decks/junky-conference/
