post rotation. Split top 2 at most recent FNM on 27th September. 17 packs woot.
So the cards...Creatures:
Soldier of the Pantheon
: 1 for a 2/1 that is pro multi-colored, an aggressive creature that creature destruction is honestly wasted on.
Fleecemane Lion 2 for a 3/3 that can become monstrous later on is a headache later on as much as it is a threat on turn 2.
Loxodon Smiter: 3 for a 4/4 that can't be countered. If I have another creature in my hand and I am playing control I usually hold back casting this guy until that damn Supreme Verdict comes and then follow up with him or Advent of the Wurm.
Dryad Militant: Only one that I am iffy on. Choose her for a few reasons over other cards. She is not dependent on evolve effects nor battalion, and her CMC is G or W which is less heart ache in ensuring the one drop success on turn one.
Boon Satyr: Another Flash creature that can also survive wrath effects is he bestowed upon other creatures. Surprises and survival are key here.
Fabled Hero
: The double strike and counter heroic trigger effect makes this guy golden. He makes my targeting spells valuable. Did I mention double strike?
Voice of Resurgence: I don't need to explain this one much. He poops out tokens when anything bad happens.
Polukranos, World Eater: This guy might be cut later on. He did not prove effective in the last two standards I did despite me taking top 2. I only like him because of the CMC 4 for a 5/5 and the monstrous ability late game( though I don't have a lot of mana to make it spectacular). Pretty much...he just curves nice. Suggestions on him please.
Instants:
Brave the Elements
: Save my creatures from damage wipes like Anger of the Gods or be on the upside of an aggro duel or swing with pro color for the win.
Gods Willing: A mini brave the elements that can target green creatures and still trigger heroic.
Selesnya Charm: So versatile. I honestly have used all three abilities in just two standard tournaments. Use it on
Fabled Hero
and you have a 5/5 trampling double strike. Or use to save your hex proof indestructible Fleecemane Lion from sacrifice effects by making a token. Or exile a fatty.
Advent of the Wurm: 5/5 trample with flash says it with style. Screw you Supreme Verdict.
Enchantments:
Unflinching Courage
: helps win an aggro war, makes a fllecemane lion with monstrous a serious problem, and
Fabled Hero
and a fabled bada$$.
Planeswalker:
Ajani, Caller of the Pride: 3 CMC for 4 loyalty. His plus one is decent and his -3 is amazing as it can be used the first turn he is out without him dying. Flying and double strike has won me games while staring down an
AEtherling
. Flying elephants that smack you twice? Dumbo what?
