Savage Knuckleblade, IMHO is a pretty awesome creature to play in the latest rotation. Also since it's all about beasts and I'm quite the beastly dude, I figured I would try my hand at it. All the usual suspects are here:
---RAMP---
Elvish Mystic: The one drop that keeps on keepin' on.
Sylvan Caryatid: Our safe, little mana dork to get us that fixin' we desperately need.
Courser of Kruphix: You love him, you hate him, he's super expensive but for good reason. Helps numb the pain of the land taps and offers a decent ramp.
---BEATS---
Savage Knuckleblade: The main attraction! Hit him with haste, bring him back up to your hand or give him the ol' fashion pump. The choice, is YOURS!
Polukranos, World Eater: The familiar heavy hitter. Use him to beat your opponent right in the face or simply use him to clear their board. Either way, he's got the skills to pay the bills.
Surrak Dragonclaw: A nice little finisher with a baked in ability to make sure those creatures hit the board, safe and sound. Definitely helps in the mid/late game.
Stormbreath Dragon: This dude... this dude right here. Another finisher with pro-white and haste, cot damn! Like crazy deals on Black Friday, he's nothing to f**k with.
Ashcloud Phoenix
: A very underrated card, IMHO. This guy can ping an opponent when needed, fly over and bash some face or just act as bait for something nasty using the morph cost. Definitely nothing to sneeze at.
---FUN STUFF---
Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker: Would you like a 4/4 Dragon w/ haste and indestructible? UHM, YES PLEASE! How about murderin' that pesky 4 toughness creature? OF COURSE! And who doesn't like drawing cards first and discarding later? FUGETABOUTIT! After all, this is HIS block, right?
Chandra, Pyromaster: Chandra's her name, bringin' the pain is her game. +1 helps us get in w/ Sir Knuckleblade, 0 possibly nets us a playable card and the finisher .. well, I dunno about you but I'd love to copy a spell three times.
Xenagos, the Reveler: A nice suggestion from a TappedOut user (see comments below) that I figured was worth including. Put out creatures, ramp out into some mana, the choice is yours!
Crater's Claws: A.K.A the new jack Fireball! Fling it at a big creature! Fling it right in your opponent's face! Got a Knuckleblade on the field? WELCOME TO 2 EXTRA POINTS OF DMG!
Temur Charm
: Personally, I play heavy blue. I couldn't make a deck without having SOME kind of counter and this is it. Opponent out of cards? No worries, give a creature +1/+1 AND FIGHT ONE OF HIS CREATURES! Gotta love them Charms...
Stubborn Denial: Probably the best counter we have access to that'll protect our stuff! An added bonus of being a hard counter once Knuckleblade, Sarkhan, Polu or any of our fatties are on the field. Definitely nothing to scoff at.
All feedback is welcomed and appreciated! Thanks for "bear"ing with me... get it ..Bear ... Temur... nevermind.
