Its performance has been getting better with each update, finding which threat/disruption im happier to see against any given deck has been long but rewarding. (I guess they call that testing ; ) This deck behaves very similarly to GBx in terms of interaction and tempo, but my threats go wide verses GBx's efficiency, which give us an advantage against spot removal G1. At work right now, will check your build out during lunch.

I dig this. Gives me ideas for my own RBW deck. Could Butcher of the Horde work?

Butcher is one of those cards... When he's good, hes great. And when he's not, well... (like you have no board presence, or they remove him in response to a sac, or you just need to go wide) I dont NOT like him, and in a tokens oriented deck hes right at home, I just prefer my walkers. As a suggestion for a creature build, topping out with 1 or 2 Stormbreath Dragons not only gives you immidiate damage, but he cant be chumped by 'souls tokens, he dodges 3 outta the big 4 removals (decay, bolt, path. Have terminate ready or eat 4), AND he has a built in mana sink for the late game. Just sux to flip him off of bob.

Just won an FNM with this last night, beating out Jeskai ascendency, Burn(!), and Grixis Delver. Ended up turning the singleton pack rat into the fourth bolt, glad I did. Especially proud of the burn win, as it's been a problem area for my builds for a while now.

In any other deck I would agree with you, but having access to path and bolt really diminishes the need for it. The smaller stuff bolt and helix hit (helix is necessary for the burn matchup) the larger stuff path hits. Terminate is for the larger delve fatties, eldrazi, and prime time, that push misses anyway. Push is great, but all the bases it hits are already covered.

I'm doing a similar thing with Orzhov, check it out if you're interested Dead Guy Ale v. 2.1. How's your consistency?
