[Deck] Naya Midrange * Big Zoo / Naya Horizons *

[trivial_matters]

I haven't tried Boros Charm but I don't like it much, to be honest. I wouldn't replace Price of Progress with it.

For me, I really like the flexibility of the 4 damage or the Indestructible options. The ability to switch between offense or protect yourself from most sweepers (damn you, Terminus) is really appealing to me.

I do think it gives late game gas, which is pretty cool. Double striking a steppe lynx and gettin in for 8 on turn two seems pretty legit :) or maybe 4 jitte counters. Hm, I'm starting to like this card...

Hi, I played yesterday against my friend's BUG control deck (with Plainswalkers) with this list

Creatures [20]
2 Scavenging Ooze
3 Noble Hierarch
3 Qasali Pridemage
4 Tarmogoyf
4 Knight of the Reliquary
4 Wild Nacatl

Instants [11]
4 Lightning Bolt
3 Punishing Fire
4 Swords to Plowshares

Sorceries [3]
3 Green Sun's Zenith

Artifacts [1]
2 Umezawa's Jitte

Enchantments [2]
2 Sylvan Library

Planeswalkers [1]
1 Elspeth, Knight-Errant

Lands [21]
1 Forest
1 Horizon Canopy
1 Karakas
1 Mountain
1 Plains
1 Savannah
1 Wasteland
2 Plateau
2 Taiga
3 Windswept Heath
3 Wooded Foothills
4 Grove of the Burnwillows

SB:
1 Bojuka Bog
2 Krosan Grip
3 Pyroblast
2 Tormod's Crypt
2 Pithing Needle
3 Volcanic Fallout
2 Gaddock Teeg

The list work great and games were like 6-2 for me. I have also played the more traditional aggro zoo, but usually in late game it runs out of gas. I like the big zoo in the current meta because it's quite aggressive but it also has good late game.

The only thing is that should I be running Bloodbraid Elf over GSZ? Any thoughts?

If your meta has more blue control decks, then BBE is better than GSZ since it lets you recover better after a sweeper. Otherwise if you're playing against a bunch of midrange decks, GSZ might be better since it'll allow you to get your Knights out more consistently (you don't really need the card advantage from BBE since Pfires is going to generate you incredible CA in those matchups).

MUs were Dredge (2-1), Combo elves (2-1), Rgb Goblins (2-1), Esperblade (2-0), Nic Fit (2-0). Punishing Fire were great in all those match ups which is one of the reasons I placed so well. I very pleased with the list and will try it out again.

Great to hear! How was Ajani for you? Did you miss having GSZ at all?

I drew Ajani once and it won me a game against Nic Fit when 5/5 Knight flyes over zombie tokens and hits 10 :) I didn't miss GSZ cause BBE was great. It's not that awesome like it's in Jund but it was still great.
