[DTB] Team America (Aggro/Tempo Thread)

[anakyn]

But the reason for me to split is not to have another turn one play, but to have more options on turn two. I often find myself turn 2 with DRS out and only 2cc spells + lands in hand. In that case the T1 DRS is kind of meh.

Honestly, I find TA to be pretty saturated with 1CC spells even without Thoughtseize.

Even if I think turn 1 Shaman is the right play against an unknown opponent, we also pack the standard 8 copies of Brainstorm / Ponder.
With 16 1CC spells (Shaman, Delver, Ponder, Brainstorm) and 14 2CC spell (Goyf, Tourach, Decay, Stalker) I find it difficult not to have another 1CC spell after a turn 1 Shaman.

But even if we don't have other 1CC spells, something like Tourach + Wasteland, Goyf + Wasteland, or simply landing Liliana doesn't seem too bad at all ;)
