[Deck] Aluren

[RobNC]

I made some tests with collective brutality in place of my 2 maindeck thoughtseize
Against creature decks it's very good : being able to kill deathrite shaman / white creatures / elves / delvers + sometimes extra discard against counters is good.
But against other decks it's weak and/or slow. So maybe it's more of a sideboard card ?

Now I would like to test gitaxian probe in that slots.
It looks good to know if the way if free to combo + great interaction with cabal therapy.
I've never seen the card in decklists playing recruiters/therapy version, has anyone tested that ?

Were you often pitching cards to escalate or did you usually cast it for one mode?

Cabal Therapy can play well with this deck because most of the creatures we'd sacrifice have ETB triggers, but unless you're playing one or two Volrath's Stronghold you'd have no way of getting that value back. I love Collective Brutality but I feel it's best at home in Reanimator strategies, where you want something in the graveyard, or something like in Junk/Abzan colors where you can pitch Lingering Souls or extra legendary creatures.
