{List

Well, this is the jank pile I’m taking to Garland next weekend while IHM plays threshold. It’s meant to be something like Bunnies, but with Vindicate near $20 a pop, Chrome Moxen at $17, and duals and fetches out of the picture for a little while (summer = monay = whatever cards I want), I’m not really that close. The E tutor is the second copy of Jitte (janky, I know, but there’s really nothing better to run in the slot), the obscene amount of removal is there because I’m expecting a large presence of agro in the field, and no, I’m not going to drop either DC or Tombstalker from the main because they’re strong enough individually for the once in a hundred games dissynergy not to matter that much for me. Without that power I don’t think this pile would have anything resemblant of a chance. I'm just looking for some general crituque of the list. I have a sngleton Trividar of Thorn, some number of Glowriders, White Knights, Silver Knights (2x each), 3x SotPC, access to 4x Aether Vials, although I don't see them being useful anywhere save the sideboard, and large stacks of white and black that it wouldn't be worthwhile to list (basicly saying if there's something totatly random you're thinking of, mention it, I may have it).

Also: Jotun Grunt- is it's dissynergy with Tombstalker worth running it in the main?

Im telling you just run affinity. We have all the parts FFS.

If you have affinity fully built, play that seriously, it takes a shit on other agro decks... and its better to run that than a suboptimal (sorry) pikula deck... pikula doesn't even do all that great against agro (goblins still beats it).

For my two cents equiped first striking knights rule aggro, specially if they have pro-color (pro whtie and pro red mostly) although some anti green wouldnt hurt either, just cant think of any creature yet...

We don't have Affinity. I'm short 3 Ravagers, have no Blinkmoth Nexi, am missing other pieces, and the only reason it's even close to playable is the fact that I run an obscene amount of draw (2 Night's Whisper, 4 TfK, 4 Thoughtcast, sometimes Ponders if I feel like it). Also, yep, it's suboptimal, I know, but it is in no way Piluka. 17 Creatures, 0 LD, and a heap of fail Piluka do not make :tongue: It's a really bad draft of Bunnies.

Yep, TS and Grunt aren't the most synergistic pair. I'm thinking of moving Grunt to the side and replacing it with Silver Knights.

EDIT: GenioDeArena, you're thinking about Spectral Lynx, which I don't have on hand, but am going to get. Just not in time for this tournament :\

This deck is fine. I know because I run decks like these. I run complete jank. I would switch out the Tombstalkers for Sensei's Top, or Strongarm Tactics, or Nezumi Shortfang, or Dauthi Horrors, or Spirit Linx.

What happened too "I have affinity without ravagers?"

Do you not have enough to play Suicide Black? Seems like it would be a much better choice.
