Threw this deck together and played it a bit this week. I really enjoyed it. The only decks I had trouble with were UG dredge decks in testing. Your best card against them is a flipped garruk and sometimes he basically wins by himself, but when he didn’t (or you couldn’t bum rush them) all your reach was easily negated by gnaws and your creatures outclassed. Now UG still isn’t much of the competitive format, but I was wondering about thoughts on shoring up the matchup, because two threatens didn’t seem to do it for me.

Finally, Vorrapede has really underwhelmed. The mirror seems to be decided to a much greater degree by who draws their burn (volley to win huntmaster wars and DP to go to the dome). Though I haven’t played the true mirror at all, but mainly against the RG Vorrapede/slime decks.

*which gives way to a grindy middle game, and late game that sees huge life swings from devil’s play/gnaw etc.

It can also be used to destroy a land, which I’m sure will be extremely relevant once AVR hits. The boros land is going to be a house, admittedly it makes the mana even more difficult than it is already, but I think the upside far outweighs its downsides. Then there’s of course the loothouse and refuge, though I don’t see an obvious home for refuge yet.

Lets not forget Tamiyo (or possibly even Tibalt) either. That’s a lot of new cards (and I haven’t even covered the artifacts/enchantments) that get hit by bramblecrush. The versatility and the fact that it’s never *completely* dead (since it can take out a land) makes it something I’ll definitely want in any green sideboard once AVR rotates in.
