    Re: [Deck] Aggro Loam

    Well, Loam has significantly higher card quality for one. Depths is more of a combo deck, this is more of a midrange/control deck.

    If anything, the deck that is closest to 4c Loam in terms of...

    @Mr. Safety
    It would be a waste of islands not to have some 1 mana counterspells in the board. Is there a strong reason for Pierce over Flusterstorm?

    Re: ECall Bant

    Should I swap the knight and trigon predator? I guess that makes sense. Knight is the more general card and predator is the narrower/more powerful effect.

    Do I have enough targets for snapcaster...

    Living Wish might be a good supplemental tutor, but my intuition is that the instant speed nature of ECall + Vial (or Ecall + Flash) is pretty important and outside of the 2 mana hate bears I...

    Re: ECall Bant

    14 is not a great number, but Ecall is a virtual 4 more creatures and you're like 70% to find a creature off of your brainstorm.

    I'm leaning more towards removing ponders for something like 2...

    ECall Bant

    Hey folks.

    I think Eladamri's Call is a powerful and underplayed card. I put it into what I think is a reasonable shell, but need help with the specifics. At this stage I'm not concerned as much...

    I play Depths + Stage more often than not. Part of it is that Maze and Ghost Quarter consistently underperform for me, but also the ability to threaten a Marit Lage token is huge. it lets us do this...

    Re: [Deck] Aggro Loam

    I've tried Ancient Tomb. The problem with it is it casts so few of our other spells, and we already pay life in a bunch of other ways. Chrome Mox is probably the best of these effects for us, since...

    Re: [Deck] Aggro Loam

    Pridemage is a better mainboard card, because the floor on is its a 2 mana 3/3. However for a sideboard slot, Reclamation Sage is better because you keep the body after getting the effect (higher...

    Re: [Deck] Aggro Loam

    That card seems a little too bad on avg.

    In the situation where we have loam going, I don't think this card turns losing games into winning games. We would be winning most of those games anyway....

    Re: [Deck] Aggro Loam

    I'd go with turn 1 Zenith for Arbor.

    The whole deck is full of cards that cost 1 more mana for some benefit. Pfire is shock for 1 more mana with upside, zenith is a creature for 1 more mana with...

    So true it hurts.

    Anyway, I'm not sure where OP got the idea that DRS isn't played anymore. I imagine it wasn't in the last placing list, or something. The card is perfectly reasonable to play...

    Re: [Deck] Aggro Loam

    IMO chalice is good in a topdeck scenario or on any even board, but it loses a lot of power as soon as you let the opponent have 1-2 turns without it. Sometimes that second turn is all the opponent...

    Strongly disagree. Without Chalice there is no reason to avoid 1drops. Now that we are playing 1drops we need a strong reason not to splash blue for brainstorm (since we are apparently cutting red...

    Re: [Deck] Aggro Loam

    Hm, I'm sure I'm missing something here, but an active DRS denies us Loam targets and threatens to eat Loam. I usually only cast loam into an active DRS as bait.

    Blessed Alliance actually seems really good. It is fighting with plow for space tho, and I don't think we can shave that.

    Dark Confidant fits that description pretty well. Grim Flayer is appealing as a green sun target, but we are a pretty medium delirium deck and its hard to justify not playing card advantage instead.
