personally i'd replace giant growth with ghor-clan rampager, that's the best gian-growth esque card i've seen in a while.

I like the idea a lot, I've experimented with it before. I personally would drop 1 Mayor and add at least 1 mainboard Thalia. But that is just my opinion. Still, nice deck.

One of my friends runs a similar deck and he calls it Human Naya Blitz. This deck is CRAZY fast and will have opponents dropping their jaws. Very fun deck to use. NICE WORK!!! +1 UPVOTE

Thalia, Guardian of Thraben can be good too

I would definitely run more land than just 20. It's going to be a pain if you get mana screwed.

April 1, 2013 3:21 p.m.

I would use Colossal Might as giant-growthesque card. It is perfect for your deck mate. Other than that I don't think I can afford to buy it... let alone for one Cavern of Souls...

still nice deck.all the best!

The deck you're looking to make is called Naya Blitz.

Naya Humans / Naya Blitz is an awesome deck right now.

- 20 Lands is fine with your mana curve, don't add more, but +2 Cavern of Souls -2 Rootbound Crag

- Giant Growth is for sideboard when you are on the DRAW. I would bump up any of your other cards like Searing Spear or Lightning Mauler

- Maybe Bonds of Faith instead of Pacifism ? Against other human decks you just pump up your guys, and if all they have is Searing Spear like you do, they will have a tough time taking down most of your dudes.

Nice deck overall.

And in case you are interested, the deck you're building has a good rep:

If you're doing humans use Hamlet Captain and Huntmaster

Shiloh_MTG says... #12

DracoStAnger I would argue that adding Huntmaster of the Fells  Flip wouldn't be a good idea. Granted it is a good card but adding it might slow this deck down. This deck is all about speed and you don't want to to get stuck with a 4 drop in your hand.

Cool looking deck. not sure I can suggest anything majorly better, but Thatcher Revolt could be good for your champ. gives you more options for your bloodrush cards

April 3, 2013 1:58 p.m.

DracoStAnger says... #14

I know Huntmaster would Slow it down a bit but this isn't naya blitz it's naya humans and if it were blitz I don't think it would use silverblade

April 3, 2013 2:45 p.m.

bogieman145 says... #15

Percy is totally right - Thatcher Revolt could be awesome in this deck (good for battalion, Champion of the Parish , and Mayor of Avabruck  Flip . Would be ever more awesome if you switched the Flinthoof Boar for Hamlet Captain .

DracoStAnger and Shiloh_MTG, you both have good points. Maybe don't use either Huntmaster of the Fells  Flip or Silverblade Paladin and sub in Thalia, Guardian of Thraben . (But keep 2 Silverblade Paladin in the side board maybe along with 3 Nearheath Pilgrim for the defensive.

i would run huntmaster over the ghor clan rampager. i find he is alot better.

You should go up to 4 Cavern of Souls maindeck. If you're going for as fast as you can, I'd drop another land or 2 and go with another Lightning Mauler , as this increases the BTE/LM combo on turn 2.

Also, Searing Spear is the best 2 drop removal for red right now (especially against other aggro decks). Thalia, Guardian of Thraben is always good as 2-3 of so it puts your opponent back another turn which is just what this deck wants them to do.

Have you considered Nearheath Pilgrim against the mirror to help you race?

April 5, 2013 11:20 a.m.

Cant think of why you wouldnt have 4 caverns

April 6, 2013 2:39 a.m.

Stone_Munkee says... #19

I think 4 Cavern of Souls is overboard. even 3 is pushing it. I would definitely consider changing 2 of them for 2 more Stomping Ground . I'm still not 100% sold on Giant Growth in these blitz decks either, I think Rancor or Rally the Peasants still hold the spot better. What is your experience with Giant Growth so far?

April 18, 2013 10:34 p.m.

Erenle says... #20

@Stone_MunkeeI had actually considered attacking enchantments and spells like Rancor , but after some playtesting I found that Giant Growth works supremely well. While Rally the Peasants will work better for getting early and extra damage in, against decks that are heavy in the Pillar of Flame , Searing Spear , and Mizzium Mortars department (decks that include aristocrats, surgeon generals, and america control) the health and damage from Giant Growth is irreversible.

What is your logic on taking out Cavern of Souls ? For a deck that has only humans besides Flinthoof Boar , I find that it is the best mono-creature mana fixer.

April 18, 2013 10:42 p.m.

Stone_Munkee says... #21

I absolutely dread the times I get 2 Cavern of Souls and a fistful of creatures, but you draw into a Giant Growth , Searing Spear , or a Rally the Peasants without the corresponding color to cast it, when you get into the situation where you would win if you could cast the card. Drives me INSANE when this happens

April 18, 2013 10:56 p.m.

Thatcher Revolt maximizes your turn 3 wins

April 19, 2013 12:59 a.m.

daveandkenz says... #23

Deranged Outcast may be decent since you can use it's ability whenever. Especially handy when your creature was blocked or you block with and don't want it to die in vain. Lol.

harrydemon117 says... #24

@daveandkenz: This deck is about SPEED. Casting a creature that sits there and sacs a creature on a later turn is no good for Naya Blitz. This deck looks to have the opponent dead by turn 4-5 at the latest.

Now if you were running naya humans midrange I could see the card being decent as a SB against removal heavy decks.

Giant Growth > than Rancor in this deck as it is instant speed. Yes if you are lucky and get stick a Rancor on something before it dies you get it back, but you are setting yourself up for easy 2 for 1's against removal (Junk Midrange, Aristocrats, Esper, etc)

April 19, 2013 1:13 p.m.

Giant Growth also has the added benefit of protecting your dudes against damage based removal in case the situation arises later and can punch through dudes like Loxodon Smiter and Trostani, Selesnya's Voice after blocks. I would like to point out though that burn gives a lot of reach after other decks stabilize at 5 or so life, I would personally drop the Ghor-Clan Rampager for either another Searing Spear or some Pillar of Flame s. Pillar of Flame will be especially helpful in taking out Voice of Resurgence when the new set comes out.
