  1. Nice show,
    I think the ultimate price is in the sideboard for an end of turn answer to angle of serenity. I think the deck is better served with another stab wound in place of the price though.
    Rakdos charm is an option in the side board against golgari as a thought. Your sideboard for that match up worked well and the charm might be too slow as compared to your sideboard.
    As always thanks for the vids.

  2. Didn’t you just have the win at 4:18 round 2?

    Swing with the cackler for 6, he activates, you dreabore, gg?
    Or am i missing something?

  3. Thanks for the videos!

    As until now I was under the impression that block was just Bant-mirrors – that’s at least the idea you get when checking the results from the DEs.

    The format looks to be more open and fun than I initially thought. Definitely thinking about giving something like this list a spin!

  4. Rakdos himself seems like he’d make a decent sideboard card against slower decks where getting damage through won’t be a problem, thoughts? (or is that essentially what Desecration Demon is for, only less restrictive?)

  5. Glad to see that Rakdos is viable, as it suits my play style much better than control. Thanks for the vids!

  6. R3 (g2 i think) i would have swung with cackler and zealot (at least zealot) he regens troll, then in your main phase kill it with dreadbore or mortars. If he doesnt block, free damage.
    You were lucky to draw the stab wound, as you said, troll is a beating for rakdos.

  7. You must be lucky with mana to win with this deck…21 land is like playing dice…if you are lucky you can win easily against any deck but i feel like it’s too inconsistent in the long run

  8. Is pithing needle worthwhile tech against all these keyrunes? It looks like the keyrune battle is half the war here.
