I would recommend a Craterhoof Behemoth, and Domri Rade. Getting a late game craterhoof will more than likely end the game as well as an ult from domri.

Don't get me wrong...I love me some hoof, but I don't think I'll have a lot of creatures If I'm running a bunch of fatties....that's why I put Pathbreaker Ibex instead.

A possible strategy for you would be running a lot of dorks, my friend copied this deck with a french ban list and he is basically unbeatable now.

I just can't do all the mana dorks with Xenagos. I would rather spend the mana to simply get land. Control decks are everywhere and mass land destruction is banned as well.

Worldspine Wurm? or would that be too hard to get out?

Obviously a 15 power creature with trample for 11 mana is value. Not to mention the 15 more when he dies, but playing R/G I'm gonna be the first target, so I need creatures out ASAP and I don't think I can afford an 11 mana creature in my hand even by turn 5 or six. The majority of the time i do hard cast my creatures, not cheat them out.

ahh okay. well have you considered Grim Monolith? it combos with Mana Reflection for infinite colorless, which may help you get shit out earlier.

huh, I did not see that. That is freakin hilarious!! Good call....

HeroJoe says... #10

I know right? I got grim monolith as a replacement for Mana Vault, as a strictly better card, and I stumbled into the combo fully on accident.

also, Vedalken Orrery, Seedborn Muse. ALL THE TURNS ARE YOURS.

also, Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx. you have devotion, let it pay off.

Peanut3181 says... #13

Yea, I know. I just don't see the value with R/G doing that as much then let's say U/G. I just smash ppls face lol

alright, draw cards. you might want something like Wheel of Fortune, or theres a few others that i can't think of. but you aren't in blue, so thats the only kind of draw you can get. green will find you ramping your hand away, so refill spells are doubly good, as they fuck with your opponent too.

theres also some red ramp, like Desperate RitualSeething SongPyretic RitualManamorphoseInfernal Plunge

Braid of Fire and Vedalken Orrery gives you mana for days to play your spells, but i'm not sure if you'd want to play it since otherwise it is kind of a dead card.

HeroJoe says... #15

and true, but casting on your opponents turns is always good. blocking out of nowhere is powerful no matter what colors you're running

HeroJoe says... #16

I hope i gave you something that you can use in this mess of messages. sorry about that, because i kept thinking of more cards.

Peanut3181 says... #17

Lol you're all good!!! Thanks a lot! I'll definitely see what I can fit in, the hardest part is seeing what needs to be cut

January 23, 2016 9:39 p.m.

HeroJoe says... #18

oh yeah i know. i'm not sure if i'd feel right helping you with that unless you asked XD it's your deck, your call.

January 23, 2016 9:41 p.m.

Rhox, Kalonian Hydra and Lifeblood Hydra all works great for me. Depending on your need for evasion, rly big dude or draw, i would switch Genesis Hydra for one of these..

Peanut3181 says... #21

I really like Kalonian Hydra! Thanks for the recommendation!

The word "Fatties" used to describe creatures just makes me uncomfortable

January 25, 2016 3:30 p.m.

Peanut3181 says... #23

sorry, that's just the term we use to describe huge creatures in my meta.

January 25, 2016 3:41 p.m.

Alright lol. Besides that, this is a really good deck. Good job

+1 for the name.

Almost want to minus one for the typo in multiple creatures descriptions for the use of Xenagos skill. It is +X/X equal to power. So Artisan is a 20/19.

Only critique I could give. Seriously a good deck and so glad to see another using my 2 pets cards for my Xenagos deck. Mage Slayer and Strionic Resonator.
