THE EPIC ADVENTURE BEGINS.

Garruk Relentless, after being nearly killed by Liliana of the Veil, travels to the plane of Ravnica to enlist the help of the famed Ral Zarek in creating a weapon that could help him and the rest of Innistrad in combating the undead and demonic scourge.

Through the Prophetic Prism, Ral Zarek was able to figure out how to create the Volatile Rig. This "weapon", a construct supercharged with Izzet force and ingenuity, will allow the good people of Innistrad to fight back, but only if it reaches them in time. Ral Zarek asks the Lone Revenant to deliver the prototype to the Trading Post where it will be able to reach Innistrad... but the journey is not easy.

Will the spirit make it in time? Will the Volatile Rig explode before it gets there? Will the revenant succumb to an episode of Homicidal Seclusion? Will Liliana's demons catch him? Is Trading Post playable in standard? All this and more in the next installment of The Lonely Trader.

This is where I ended up with in my own quest to figure out a decent Trading Post list. I started with Mono Black with some demons and Scroll of Griselbrands; added white for Restoration Angel, Obzedat, Ghost Council, and Gideon, Champion of Justice; changed it to green for Garruk Relentless; splashed for Ral Zarek.

And then Ral Zarek was good with Trading Post. Not insane but I splashed the colors for everything using Prophetic Prism and Keyrunes. Now I figured maybe UR + another color is probably the way to go. I can see a different color than Green, but Garruk does give the deck creatures when we don't have any. Farseek is also not bad since the deck is indeed slow and durdly. A Grixis build with Mutilate could be okay too, but i'd probably still splash 1 Garruk Relentless and use the Simic Keyrunes, because I think they're the best kind for the deck. Dimir Keyrune is okay but can be removed more easily.
