Mortivore really seems like a win more type of card.

It's worthless against combo (as is mutilate) and control, and is only good against aggro after you managed to take out a bunch of your...

I'm pretty sure the Soul Spike suggestion was just sarcasm. Everyone realizes just how horrid that card is.

I love infest, but it has horrid synergy with Hypnotic Specter and Confidant and pretty...

QFT. That's actually the bulk of my point. The performance of this deck has faltered massively and its time we get to the heart of that matter.

But as for the theory that maybe creatures arent...

Wait. So you're actually arguing that swinging for 2-3 a turn is fast enough to beat combo, but somehow, swinging for 5 isn't?

I play 3-4 Negators in my side everytime I play this deck. I always...

Yeah, the main thing that keeps Putrid Warrior from being good is that he's a format where most every creature has 2 power atleast.

If I wanted to add threats I would add either....

Negator
...

Yeah, running single Jitte was something I've always wanted to do with this deck.

More importantly though, this deck is getting a lot of bad hype, on account of all the articles saying that it...

That's a great suggestion. Shortfang is better. Instant speed discard rocks, and a 3/3 beating rack rocks as well. I'm confused about the wording, do you always have to pay atleast 1B to flip him, or...

I keep my opponent out of cards most of the games I play. Esp if there's an active Confidant, they quickly realize that if they don't play their cards asap, they lose them.

Does anyone else have...

In Shugyoso's tournament write up I noticed that he played against a Pikula deck running Rack.

I was wondering if that option was tested at all.

I note that a ton of the games I play, I have my...

edicts aren't bad except that they rarely hit what you want them to hit.

so swords doesn't take out mongoose and troll ascetic and simic sky swaller. that's a couple of creatures out of thousands....

Don't get me wrong Phantom, I don't think Iggy Pop is a bad deck. Just like I don't think either survival or reanimator are bad decks, and also are played less and less as solidarity is played more...

Umm yeah, Dual Land Draft was just saturated with Iggy Pop. Heck it's had 8 decks run in every tourney we've had this whole year. No idea how I overlooked such a widespread prevelant archeatype....

Yes, but how many such decks like Reanimator do you honestly see in competitive play, like a tourney, not many. The only decks that you see in any real numbers that use the graveyard are Thres and...

Who runs Volrath's Stronghold?

It's not card advantage.

Many of the times I'm playing, I would rather top deck more disruption than creatures. With 4 Shade, 2 Grunt, 1 Urami and 2 Scrolls,...

Yes, Wrecth is disruption on a 2/2 body against a decent number of matchups Thres, Reanimator, Survival, Tog, Iggy Pop? etc.

But those matchups and a few other don't account for more than 1/3 of...

I'm not sure if this has been discussed yet.

But has anyone actually playtested Jotun Grunt like we've been meaning too.

I finally got my hands on a playset yesterday, and tried it a couple of...

1. I am running the 4th Shade. Its inclusion has never once made me wish I had Rotting Giant.

2. I'm maindecking two wretches and boarding two. Fourteen creatures has been perfect for me. Wretch >...

Yeah, I've come to a similar conclusion about Withered Wretch. It's a bomb against Threshold sure, but it's just a 2/2 too often.

Are you running Swords or Plagues or both? And did you cut back to...

Power/Toughness:2/1

Casting cost: 2W

Card text: Azorius Herald is unblockable.
When Azorius Herald comes into play, you gain 4 life.
When Azorius Herald comes into play, sacrifice it unless U...

DeathWingZero, thank you for that excellent post and update. It also got my mind whirring about what other choices people have made since this deck's debut...

How many people are running the 4th...

I wouldn't bring stuff like Sarcomancy and Carnophage from the board. This deck has a big problem against fast aggro.

You want a creature that doesn't die to every other creature in the format....

This may belong in a seperate thread or something but I wanted to find a tournament successful version of Rock and started searching for any legacy versions of PT Junk - it was probably the most...

Phyrexian Scuta et. al clearly don't fit.

But if you do want beats, and don't want Negator or inc. your white reliance by playing Spectral Lynx...

Phyrexian War Beast is by far the best option....

SCREECH!

If Negator is indeed unviable even in an all-out aggro deck as you claim, then how exactly do you explain Anwar and Powergamer1001's dual successes this past weekend in a deck that ran...

My point, as I illustrated in the post directly above yours, is that you really aren't saccing Pikula's disruption by running 4 Swords over 2 Verdicts and 2 Plagues.

Yes, the deck is maybe a turn...
