Anyways, it's test material, just that I won't be testing coz other stuff with higher priority atm. =/
Yeah, I tested it. It was... interesting, to say the least. Some games I got the nut draw with a turn 3 15/15 Kavu, sometime I got just a fizzle.
What do you guys think about the new Hunter's Insight from M12?
Hunter’s Insight 2G
Instant
Choose target creature you control. Whenever that creature deals combat damage to a player or planeswalker this turn, draw that many cards.
With new Hexshroud creatures (and old ones like Silhana Ledgewalker) & free pumps (Mutagenic Growth, Invigorate), this could safely & easily draw 3-5 cards for 3 mana.
Perhaps (the other) Stompy mana base (City of Traitors, Ancient Tomb), paired with Elvish Spirit Guide could also help
Could this bring a new direction for Berserk Stompy? (evolve to Hexproof Berserk Stompy ? :)
Short answer - No.Quote:

Besides, we have a lot of stuff to test, as mentioned by boneclub24.
@ Bone
No, I think the new creature is not the main focus atm xD
hey gui, are you playing mws or cockatrice?Quote:

5 G_fetches
1 arbor
9 forest
2 wasteland
4 kavu predator
3 skyshroud cutter
4 esg
4 llanowar
1 thrun the last troll
1 tarmo
1 scryb ranger
3 wall of blossoms
4 berserk
4 invigorate
4 vines of vastwood
4 reverent silence
4 GSZ
2 sylvan library
@bone, try this one. i removed the wall of roots and replaced it with
1 tarmo, 1 scryb ranger and 1 thrun
:)
hmmmm, i think cold eye selkie is much better than this.Quote:
Hunter’s Insight 2G
keen sense also is better than this...
but on the positive note, decks (SUCH as mono green chalice aggro)
can have this. :)
Okay, I've tested the Vault Skirge > Sprites extensively, and I can say this. It honestly doesn't make a noticeable difference. Sure, there are some games you gain some decent life, but the fact that it's a 2-of makes it hardly noticeable. The thing mostly in the Skirge's favor is not being Mental Misstepable turn 1. But really, turn 1 isn't deathly important for us anyway, unless we are against combo. In which case, they probably don't pack MM.
Right. Keep Vault Skirge, then. It's not much, but fighting MM, lifelink, and not being green against perish, might end up being relevant.Quote:

EDIT: I'm finding the Affinity matchup to be just awful :|
Test the list using Viridian Zealot MD... it's not much, but could help, and also against Stoneforge.Quote:

Honestly, it's not the lack of hate cards. The best way to beat affinity is to Berserk combo them, but the problem is that the hate slows us down a little and we don't always have everything we need.Quote:

Your curve is too high. We only want 1 or 2 three drops, if any. If you want to support this, you will want something like Ancient Tomb and/or Elvish Spirit Guide. At that point you should probably be looking at Chalice Green...Quote:

Tombs might be useful, but then the dungrove elders have to go or be replaced by another copy of Thrun.Quote:

While the extra land will help, I still suggest you run some kind of ramp spell, maybe even Chrome Mox.
Probably not enough, but I was thinking of trying this for the extra evasionQuote:

I would remove the Scout for Bogle. Makes us less vulnerable to Engineered Plague if nothing else.Quote:

cut the cradles, for i think it will just sit there doing nothing
if u cannot cast two or three creatures on turn two.
A.Tombs
ESG
GSZ
dryad arbor
