Yea... its sickening how one card defines what is and isn't good in standard... though there's one definite weakness to this deck... Slaughter Games ?

Nah but seriously... i totally get what you're saying.

nah the player's skill boost one gets from running this many Thragtusk their opponent's will end up naming Pillarfield Ox with Slaughter Games . But in a match I doubt that spell will be the biggest of problems for this deck's possible pilot considering mana screw will occur all the time, they'll probably get kicked out of every tournament, and the deck costs over $1k. But I could see myself winning a ton of casual games where there's free mulligans until I get the 5 land 2 tusk hand (should probably only take an hour... I should proxy this and make it a challenge thing like they do in Duels of the PW's.

What kind of challenge?

Win with this deck? Teach players about the importance of having a fair amount of land in their decks.

Or win against this deck with it having the optimal hand? Showing players how potent the card is on it's own.

you know the duels of the planeswalkers campaign events where you run into a deck that's just land and 1/1 flyers and always has the same opening hand, something like that.

I dont own dotp 2013 :(

I would go for about 30 tusks and 30 lands s you always get one out.

ANd yeah, 1100 bucks... +1

You know what's sad? If you were to balance the land right this could actually be a decent deck. Thragtusk after Thragtusk every turn for the rest of the game...

But then my playskill would go down...

Oh, what turn is this? Turn 5? Have you killed me yet? Oh, so you haven't? Well, GG
