The main reason I don't use him is because after testing, I find that this deck can't always afford to pay that , and he's obsolete if the opponent has x/3 on the field.
But still, it's very viable. What do you think I should swap out for it, pauginxz?

Chief of the Scale seems the weakest cutting down on one of the three drop guys could be good also
and yeah thats gonna happen but its a really powerful card and the synergy with blood-chin fanatic is wonderful

I guess I'll just swap the Mardu Shadowspear. Too many 1-drop is not good, especially if they can get out an early blocker. But I need to test the water first before changing anything. Thanks for the suggestion, tho

If your issue is blockers, consider swapping out Defiant Strike for Coat with Venom You lose card draw but gain the chance to clear their blocker and with the toughness boost maybe also keep your creature on the board.

I would maybe say instead of two chief of scale use 2 Raiders' Spoils to make it even more aggro :) Also good to top off the curve and card draw for late game

Nice suggestion, both of you. Coat with Venom can be great post game one when everyone side in early blocker. Raiders' Spoils is a boost and draw engine in one, and draw engine is always good

Yeh was playing my mate when he had that out and it did get pretty annoying, espeically since u can gain life with foul tongue shriek while swinging then use some of it to draw :)

Need some input for finisher since the deck tends to run out of steam, and Languish can really devastate this deck. Should I run Blood-Chin Fanatic?

Chief of the Scale is not so good in an aggro deck. Try adding one of these cards: Secure the Wastes, Battle Brawler, Herald of Dromoka or Hidden Dragonslayer. I really think they are all better :)
Btw, +1 from me. Almost a perfect warrior tribal deck.

Thanks Aleboth93, a mix of Battle Brawler and Hidden Dragonslayer does sound interesting
Also which do you think is better; Coat with Venom or Touch of Moonglove? The first one boost toughness so my Rager can survive being double-blocked, but the latter complement aggro better

I think you should choose thinking about your local meta and your weak spots. You should do some matches, trying both cards and see which one of them works better with your deck and your playstyle :)
(Since you asked me suggestions, you can take a look at my decks, if you want. Just like you, I'm always open to suggestions :) )

Scrap your Mardu Woe-Reaper for Herald of Dromoka. You lose one of your turn one drops but all your creatures have vigilance. Take Chief of the Scale out and put Brutal Hordechief in. They let you gain life as you attack. So Brutal Hordechief + Mardu Strike Leader allow your tokens to gain more life for you each turn and if your opponents block damage is still going through. Take a look at my version of this deck black white warriors and get some ideas. Definitely sideboard Graveblade Marauder against control decks. He can chump block their creatures and think of all the card your opponent puts into your graveyard countering your spells so it's nice when he gets out and can use his ability.

Nice input, both of you
I guess I'll start looking for that Brutal Hordechief for a curve-topper and game ender

If you're worried about Languish. You may want to consider Timely Hordemate as he can be useful in bring dudes back post Languish. Also entertain the thought of using Languish to your advantage and run things with Delve like Tasigur, the Golden Fang and Murderous Cut. If you went Mardu and splashed red you could run Alesha, Who Smiles at Death which also helps post languish.

vvhirl: Timely Hordemate is kinda underwhelming for its mana cost, but Mardu Warrior is interesting. And Tasigur, the Golden Fang is great whether in main or sideboard. Nice suggestion!

i just built a new deck and used this to play test i might build your deck and see how it dose at my local fnm nice job man

magnetcrocodile says... #21
haha thanks man
honestly the meta in my lgs slowed down considerably and I was able to beat any deck pre-sideboard
The absence of early removal like Bile Blight and Lightning Strike really gave the chance for this deck to shine
October 3, 2015 9:53 a.m.
@magnetcrocodile uhm.. adding just 1 Raiders' Spoils is best thing you can do in this deck for now.. Are you still updating this?
November 7, 2015 10:45 a.m.
magnetcrocodile says... #23
@minorokt I am. In fact, I've been using a new decklist and it's been great!
I'll be updating it when I'm available
November 7, 2015 7:37 p.m.
How do you like Raiders' Spoils? I ran an orzhov warrior deck in a FNM and noticed the biggest weakness is an empty hand b/c of low card costs. I was thinking bout running Raiders' Spoils or Read the Bones.

@Davish Honestly, It's great! At the beginning I'm torn between Raiders' Spoils or Sorin, Solemn Visitor, but Raiders' Spoils is harder to remove, and that extra draw is nothing to scoff at.
Also it feels great to generate token with Secure the Wastes in the opponent's main phase and slam Raiders' Spoils/Chief of the Edge in my turn :D
