ANNOUNCING

TEAM BIG SEXY IS COMING TO SMASH YOUR FACE...OH YES!

ROCKETSHIPS...RECOGNIZE!!!

Big (Mythic) Red

Okay so this is the new brew I'm working on. Obviously I'm still working on the sideboard but I'm very happy with the main board.

The basis of this deck is to power out big creatures using Koth of the Hammer and Everflowing Chalice. It is actually possible to turn 4 Koth and then cast Kozilek on turn 5. Pretty sick for a red deck. I think an interaction people don't see on Koth is that his first ability almost plays like a mini Garruk. You can tap a mountain for mana and then use Koth's ability to turn it into a creature, but then you can tap that guy for mana again.

Cyclops Gladiator is a card that I think people underestimate. This guy can get on the board turn 3 and do serious damage to a deck that is relying on mana dorks.

The rest of the choices are just big creatures that are fun to see on the field. I am seriously considering making room for the Cunning Sparkmage/Basilisk Collar combo, but I don't think that's what this desk wants to do. Maybe in the board.

A full compliment of burn is here obviously to control the field until you can start putting out the fatties.

If you can't win with your fatties obviously you've got a few other win conditions. Koth's ultimate absolutely KILLS. A deuce of Comet Storm is also there for double mana shenanigans. If the game goes late, you've also got Valakut which is always fun.

All in all it's just a fun deck to play. I haven't playtested it yet, mainly because I'm looking for the cards, but I'm certain that this will be a blast to play...no pun intended. Until next time.

Agents of SHIELD

Okay so in an effort to better understand control and to not dislike it so much I put together U/W/R Super Friends a while back and generally smashed face with it. I may have even come to like playing the deck. After a while my aggro roots kicked in and I went back to my default playing style. With the new planeswalkers in Scars however, I decided that it was time to put Super Friends back together, but not your grand pappy's Super Friends...no sir! This version is all about intrigue and manipulation and stabbing you in the back. So with that in mind...I give you Agents of SHIELD. And yes Jace is supposed to be Nick Fury! :)



I've tested it against RDW, against aggro, even against the mirror and it generally does well. I feel like it will have a good match up against ramp too, but haven't been able to test it yet. Comments?
