Another "What deck should I play?" thread

[Aggro_zombies]

I'm going to the first in a local tournament series this Saturday, but due both to not having my Tarmogoyfs back from yawg07 and my inability to find anyone to borrow them from, my plans to play Aggro-Loam have been foiled. This leaves me with the ability to construct three decks:

Armageddon Stax
ANT
Affinity

Of those three, I have perhaps the most experience with Stax, but I'm also deeply unhappy about the prospect of having to play that deck (partially because it's not very good and partially because I hate the white version of Stax). Affinity isn't very good either, but can be a pretty potent metagame deck...if I knew what to expect. Since I don't, the choice comes down to ANT or Stax. I have no tournament experience with ANT, but the deck seems resilient and strong. I've been goldfishing it a lot recently, and I'm starting to get the hang of it, but I don't know if I'd be able to pilot it through, say, a Counterbalance or Chalice-infested metagame.

So, with that said, should I just man up and play Stax, or try out the arguably much better ANT? If the latter, any pointers for someone who generally doesn't play combo?

EDIT: Assuming that I get my goyfs back through some stroke of luck before the tournament, I can build almost all varieties of Threshold, almost all varieties of the Rock, and Landstill of every sort but the ones packing Dreadnought. Given that and an unknown meta, what would you play? I have more or less equal experience with all of these decks.

ANT seems definetally the best out of the 3 non-Goyf decks for sure.
If you do happen to get them back play the Rock, it's very strong and can answer a ton of decks.

Really?

I prefer to play Aggro-Loam with Crusher, Terravore, and some combination of 2-3 Gigapede/Worm Harvest because they're generally bigger/better than Goyfs, and you already eat it to Chalice/CB with Loam enough as it is.

I would play Goyfless Aggro-Loam, but that's just me. My build's weird and has Explorations too.

Actually, I don't think Goyf is all that impressive when compared to Crusher or Terravore, either. Your other threats are just so much beefier, and with Stronghold you can just keep getting them back, so you don't need to worry too much about threat density.

I think you should listen to IBA. Another option is to play Affinity with maindeck Etherworth Cannonists and Master of Etheriums.

Go there early and do some scouting. If you see many control-aggrocontrol decks go for Affinity. If you see no counterbalance and chalice decks go for the throat with AnT.
However, I see you're inexperienced with AnT, so I'd just play Affinity.
