		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ve tried this deck out, personally I find the match up vs control to be terrible, the board plan is not effective against decks with phantasmal image, which is a huge concern.  You are boarding in different threats that still use the Graveyard.

If you want to try a deck I&#039;ve been fairly successful with, check out http://decks.mtgoacademy.com/Decks.aspx?ID=110790 and http://decks.mtgoacademy.com/Decks.aspx?ID=111765

I used those as inspiration and I&#039;ve been having much more success.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sorry about the audio. I&#039;m not sure what&#039;s causing that. If I can&#039;t manage to fix it then I&#039;ll dub over vids in the future.

@LoydT I didn&#039;t board against Delver because I felt like the md game plan was exactly what I wanted in the matchup and nothing I had in the board was worth having. I have since added a pair of Whipflares to the board (over 2 grudges) so now I do have something worth bringing in, though I still don&#039;t really know what I&#039;m cutting yet.

On Township, I actually have even cut the single copy from the deck. The mana isn&#039;t great and I would rather have another Forest than Township a lot of the time.

On the name, I watched Levy do the deck tech and he said the name is Frites meaning &quot;French Rites,&quot; so I figure that&#039;s how it&#039;s pronounced.

@Torpesh My plan when bringing in the Sword package is -4 Elesh Norn, -2 Rites, -2 Titan, and when bringing in Rays or Grudges I think I&#039;ll take your advice cut 2 Mulch.

The sideboard for this deck is not like other sideboards. You can play super narrow cards like Grudge, Ray, and Journey because in most matchups your md plan will be just as good in G2 and G3. The exception being when your reanimation targets suck, which is why I have the Geist-Sword package. But since I still don&#039;t feel like I need all 4 Grudges, I made room for something else and that slot is currently going to Whipflare.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Great videos, thanks for posting!

When siding in the aggro package (Strangleroot Geists and swords), would it make sense to board out some of the Mulches? There are going to be more times when you don&#039;t want to be sending a creature to the graveyard, so I would think that taking one or two of those out over the Tracker&#039;s Instincts (which lets you keep a Strangleroot and mill a titan for example) would make sense.]]></description>
