All the changes are very reasonable. Although I would keep the druid.
Your removalsuite should support him very well and if you ever get to mill yourself, your opponent’s are usually just dead. Also he’s good CA and he ramps (insane with Cobra btw.).
And I myself wouldn’t count on keeping Jesus around (of the exile) in each and every game…
But I see your point here, so no need to argue (baaad against swarm aggro).
The inclusion of Fulminator Mage to me is only natural.
It did awesome jobs for me in the past.
Other than that you were just unloading on your opponents all 5 games, period.
But what about your T8s?
This wasn’t a tournament now, was it?
Stinkweed imp is a great blocker. I use it in a Balthor The Defiled commander deck. I like the imp more than golgari thug.
Cutting Avenging saddens me, but alas this is a creature format meaning there are tons of blockers and even more removal. He never gets to do his thing. Ever. Believe me. I have tried.
Dirty Jesus is hands down one of THE best cards. While I don not count on using him, I sure as heck try!
The PE with T8 is next week. Hang tight!
Lastly, Semnyi, I am not too fond of non-Loam dredge cards. Just very slow, they don’t really jive with Survival as seamlessly as you would think. Dredge is a different animal than Rec-Sur, much like The Rock is. Even though they may share some base cards, the approach differs, and esp. from 100CS to Commander where you can’t guarantee you get the interaction like with Balthor.
Thanks, men!
Well I’m glad I decided to check in again. Even though some opponents had…decks that weren’t very competitive, I had a good time watching all the matches
The pace is so much better 1 vs 1 than in a big multiplayer game. And 100 card singleton seems like a really fun format.
I look forward to the PE vids next week!
I love your videos. Action, comedy, weird stories. I like to change my underwear, fill my turban with salsa, arrange my salad owls from urban outfitters, and watch pantsed-up gents have a day to the tune of forgotten 70′s and 80′s favorites and commentary from godzilla and chewbacca.
Why thank you, kind sirs. I have def put forth more on an effort in the videos to come, as per the suggestions made by a few viewers. I hope they help. And def stay tuned to next week’s conclusion to the deck; it’s a doozy!
Once again, highly entertaining.
On a side note: 100 card singleton mixed with my constructed collection makes me sad. I have a lot of 4-ofs I bought for Legacy. If I had the foresight I could have bought 3 regular and 1 foil copy to make my 100 cs decks bling. Most of my non foils are because I already had a set for constructed lol.
