Breakdown of card choices later.

Well, Avacyn Restored has been out for a bit now …

And I have been a brewing. Here is my latest brew.

4 Faithless Looting
2 Pristine Talisman
4 Desperate Ravings
3 Mana Leak
2 Whipflare
3 Forbidden Alchemy
1 Nihil Spellbomb
2 Dissipate
1 Slagstorm
1 Curse of Death’s Hold
3 Flayer of the Hatebound
1 Myr Battlesphere
2 Griselbrand
1 Batterskull
1 Tibalt the Fiend Blooded
1 Tribute to Hunger
3 Unburial Rites

3 Blackcleave Cliffs
2 Desolate Lighthouse
4 Evolving Wilds
4 Island
5 Mountain
1 Plains
2 Shimmering Grotto
1 Sulfur Falls
3 Swamp

Yes, I know Frites is the good Reanimator deck. Yes, I know Flayer isn’t a good card. The fact is, this is my fun deck. It’s a Grixis Solar Flare type build. A lot of fine tuning to go, but I’m liking it.

Now the updates to the real deck (GR Aggro). Going off of my last list, this will be happening.

-1 Batterskull
-1 Galvanic Blast
-1 Brimstone Volley
-1 Mountain

+3 Wolfir Avenger
+1 Wolfir Silverheart

More details to come later.

Pauper Anyone?

Anyone here into Pauper on MODO? I’ve come to really enjoy the format. The ability to keep brewing and altering decks without much of an investment with an eternal feel is just too much fun for me to resist. The last couple days I had been playing the following list.
