Instead I've gotten to read a bunch of gems like: "x archetype is dead", "this set sucks", "_____ is broken!", "_____ is shit!", and "I have parental controls on my computer because my wife caught me yanking it and she was going to divorce me."Like I said, it's a large enough community to warrant recruitment efforts - in theory.And here I thought we severed our losses with R/x Aggro forum.

I assumed... but you can't be too careful because people were seriously discussing that just last week - like, more than a few people.Sorry...left off the sarcasticIt won't be Tier anything.Hey now, baby Smaug is gonna see some play along with our buddy VD in a Varolz deck...it won't be Tier 1, but it should be damned fun.
Combining shitty unplayable jank + an okay interaction dependant on one card =/= anything approaching competitive.
I'm not sure if your post was sarcastic, but just in case I wanted to clarify.

I'm kind of nervous to see if that post gets any positive affirmation. It just might.Of course TubeHunter has to come in and troll the thread.
It's in RLA titled "Screwed Up" (or something similar) if you want to check it out. Not very interesting, though: guy isn't having sex with wife, masturbates instead, wife caught him, wife has breakdown and accuses OP of breaking her trust, OP folds and agrees to have parental controls put on his PC so he can no longer watch porn, wants advice because his marriage is falling apart.That last one leaves me curious.Instead I've gotten to read a bunch of gems like: "x archetype is dead", "this set sucks", "_____ is broken!", "_____ is shit!", and "I have parental controls on my computer because my wife caught me yanking it and she was going to divorce me."Like I said, it's a large enough community to warrant recruitment efforts - in theory.And here I thought we severed our losses with R/x Aggro forum.

I guarantee that my son will build it just to see it go off a time or two...that's why we have a kitchen table! We were indeed all discussing a Jund build with Varolz, but any such effort is really weak to Azorius Charm and thus hampered from success in the meta.I assumed... but you can't be too careful because people were seriously discussing that just last week - like, more than a few people.Sorry...left off the sarcastic smileyIt won't be Tier anything.Hey now, baby Smaug is gonna see some play along with our buddy VD in a Varolz deck...it won't be Tier 1, but it should be damned fun.

That actually sounds like an altercation I had with my fiancee not long ago. Except I blamed it on her for needing such things and she decided it would solve everything if she started putting out on a regular basis. And good times were had by all involved parties.It's in RLA titled "Screwed Up" (or something similar) if you want to check it out.

How has ground seal worked out for you? With a curve that low, I'd consider taking it out. If you waste your t2 or tx with that you'll just get overrun with normal thrags and resto angels into AoS IMO.Platypus, I playtested this deck on MTGO last night with great results.
[deck]Creatures (32)
4 Stromkirk Noble
4 Rakdos Cackler
2 Stonewright
4 Ash Zealot
4 Flinthoof Boar
4 Burning-Tree Emissary
4 Lightning Mauler
4 Fervent Cathar
2 Ghor-Clan Rampager
Spells (8)
4 Searing Spear
4 Rancor
Lands (20)
4 Stomping Ground
4 Rootbound Crag
12 Mountain
Sideboard (15)
3 Boros Reckoner
3 Pillar of Flame
2 Ground Seal
2 Traitorous Blood
3 Volcanic Strength
2 Frostburn Weird[/deck]
I feel like I want another green source so I might shove a Temple Garden in and take out a Mountain. I'm also unsure about Stonewright currently. He seems like a better sideboard card. I may test Legion Loyalist instead. I also need to work on the sideboard.
I usually only want the Pillars to kill dorks so those may come out for Electrickery. I also don't like Traitorous Blood here. Those two may become my Stonewrights.
I've tested Fervent Cathar before in the All-in Red list and really like him. He's resistant to Azorius Charm and doesn't care that your opponent slammed a Loxodon Smiter last turn. Speaking of Loxodon Smiter, I've found this deck has little use for Mizzium Mortars in the side since we're playing Rancor and Ghor-Clan Rampager. The ability of this deck to just smash through fatties is very refreshing.
I've actually found little use for TBlood and prefer Ground Seal for three reasons:How has ground seal worked out for you? With a curve that low, I'd consider taking it out.

TBloods are great in that match-up though for
getting through the last points of damage. -2 Ground Seal +2 Stonewright for the SB?
Reanimator lists I've seen run two main and two side. Is this out of date?Acidic Slime is in the board? You don't say.
Cause I clearly remember losing again and again in game 1 to "Turn 3 slime, turn 4 resto angel, turn 5 slime, rofl nice mana bro."
That's interesting, but also sensible, especially if they are running Resto main as well. I guess I just haven't run into these variations yet. All I seem to play online is the typical AoS/Thrag lists with Loxodon Smiter and Slimes in the side.I've seen as many as 4 in the mainboard. It's not unreasonable, being that far ahead on land can actually just win you the game with no skill involved whatsoever.
Acidic Slime + Mimic Vat was a rather horrible combination to face. Ouch.When I played Pod last Standard, abusing Slime was my favorite path to victory.
And that was back when everyone wasn't running some 3-4 color monstrocity...
Found this when talking about Netrunner(my other game of choice atm), I think that this statement shows why I play red season after season. And what sets red mages apart from other metahopping spikes."My decks are alive. They're not just picking up scuffs and whatever microscopic flecks of me whenever I touch them. They're absorbing every one of my failures and victories, and all of the time I spend with them."

I can do that in my EDH deck...as soon as I get a Mimic Vat.Acidic Slime + Mimic Vat was a rather horrible combination to face. Ouch.When I played Pod last Standard, abusing Slime was my favorite path to victory.
