    Re: [DTW] Aggro Loam

    I suppose you could just board a Damnation and do one of the following:
    1) Win with Seismic Assault.
    2) Have Volrath's Stronghold in play.
    3) Cross your fingers and rip like a pro.

    Re: [DTW] Aggro Loam

    I don't personally agree with Bob in this deck, but Top is bad regardless. It takes up a slot that could be better filled with something else, it makes Chalice at 1 a bad play, it's not tremendously...

    Re: [DTW] Aggro Loam

    Unfortunately, all of those options are extremely slow and probably won't help you all that much. If your meta is burn-heavy and you're getting rolled, you probably will want to play a different...

    Re: [DTW] Aggro Loam

    The best option in a Burn-heavy meta is probably just to destroy all of their lands before they kill you, unfortunately... If you really want to go with life gain, it depends on whether you play...

    Re: [DTW] Aggro Loam

    Putrefy is much better against CB than Terminate, it's true... Maybe these would be worth trying over Grips in the main (in my build, at least). Apparently there must be something to Dark Confidant...

    Re: [DTW] Aggro Loam

    Discard is simply not the way to go for Aggro-Loam.
    Especially in an environment with Top, we need Chalice@1, every game, on turn 1 if possible. If you think that Chalice is slow, you are either...

    I'm not scared of any of those creatures: Dreadnought and Painter die to Grip (which I play MD), explosives, or any number of sideboard options. Tombstalker and Confidant are both absolute wimps...

    Re: [DTW] Aggro Loam

    Terminate is as good of a removal spell as we could want in a vacuum.
    However, the CMC of 2 is a huge issue when we are talking about dealing with CB decks. Snuff Out seems like a much better...

    Re: [DTW] Aggro Loam

    The thing about Sower is that it costs four mana, which is generally a lot for Thresh to commit in one turn. If, however, they become predominant in top-tier decks and/or NLU becomes popular,...

    Re: [DTW] Aggro Loam

    If you are that worried about counterbalance, and willing to sacrifice the sideboard slots, you can do it easily with a combination of:

    Krosan Grip
    Engineered Explosives
    Choke
    Pithing Needle...

    Re: [DTW] Aggro Loam

    Absolutely: Krosan Grip and Engineered Explosives are both awesome against CB itself, Shackles, Threads, and everything except Sower. Sower is a fragile creature, though, and once you Grip the CB,...

    Yeah, my bad, I forgot about the "your" in that clause.
    But he's still at least a 3/3, whereas Terravore will be worse 85% of the time.

    Re: [DTW] Aggro Loam

    Well, you more or less answered your own question. Thresh in general runs a thin and vulnerable manabase that Aggro Loam simply loves. Unless they are balancing out your Loams and you don't run MD...

    Re: [Deck] Quinn The Eskimo- Aka, The Mighty Quinn

    It would not. Abeyance cantrips for the one extra mana, which makes it better already, but when it's on a stick and generating card advantage, it becomes better than Silence in every way.
