Deck discussion for Beat Down

hey this is pretty good!

couple of things i'd change to make this deck less vulnerable:

drop banefire to 2 copies and stick in 2 copies of firespout (to deal with flyers or tokens)
drop char for garruk wildspeaker (he can accelerate or bolster your board position)
drop colossal might in favour of Vines of Vastwood (gives some utility as well as damage)
probably ought to drop elves for birds of paradise (both colours of mana)

swap karplusian forest for 4x grove of the burnwillows (for punishing fire)
swap magus of the vineyard for 4x punishing fire (for uber board sweeping)


the idea with punishing fire/grove of the burnwillows is that you don't care if your opponent gains a little life because if you can sweep the board clear of creatures, your opponent will lose much more life than they've gained (and they won't be able to retaliate). it's simple but effective.

magus of the vineyard is great but there are so many spells with 2 colourless in their costs that you'd be helping your opponent too much. with the new artifacts rolling around they'd be two turns up on mana (and they'd get the extra mana a whole turn before you!).

seems great though. nice deck!
