NoShow Ghalta Stampede

[z0anthr0pe]

Hi all,

Just richarding around with the new Ghalta and put it into no show. Not sure about the ilhargs but the rest seems to work at least sometimes. Can anyone suggest improvements please? No budget. Meta is usually burn, lands, storm (tendrils), delver and orcish lumberjack style decks. It's not for tournaments but I'd like to win at least a few times :tongue:

1 Atraxa, Grand Unifier
2 Carnage Tyrant
1 Dryad Arbor
4 Elvish Spirit Guide
10 Forest
1 Ghalta, Primal Hunger
1 Ghalta, Stampede Tyrant
4 Green Sun's Zenith
4 Ilharg, the Raze-Boar
2 Mountain
4 Natural Order
1 Progenitus
4 Seething Song
4 Simian Spirit Guide
4 Sneak Attack
4 Taiga
4 Veteran Explorer
4 Wooded Foothills
1 Worldspine Wurm

SIDEBOARD:
1 Banefire
2 Defense Grid
3 Faerie Macabre
2 Force of Vigor
2 Guttural Response
2 Meltdown
2 Surgical Extraction
1 The Stone Brain

I'd go up to 4 copies of Atraxa. Best creature. You have a lot of ways to make a creature from hand, but not many good creatures in hand. The 1-ofs work for NO, but the Sneak Attack plan needs more copies. You don't want lines like Sneak Attack + Ilharg or NO + Ghalta with nothing else in hand. More Atraxas helps.

If your meta has Storm, Burn and Delver then you need early game interaction to survive to your 4-5 mana spells. Otherwise they'll win before you get to do anything and it won't be fun. Even if it's not competitive, it's more fun to lose after you got to do the thing than losing before you got to cast much. I'd play Ancient Tomb, City of Traitors, Chalice of the Void and maybe SB Disruptor Flute. Chalice @ 1 & Flute disrupt the fast decks. Sol lands speed up your 4-5 mana business.

Allosaurus Shepherd makes Natural Order uncounterable, so that might be a nice GSZ target.

Veil of Summer is better than Guttural Response.
