Not bad. I like the low CMC throughout. Keep us informed of your success once Dragons is released. +1 from me.

This looks really cool, and I'm curious as to how it' work in actual play.

I'm afraid a warrior theme is lackluster for these colors, I could see maybe Abzan Aggro with warriors, and Arashin Foremost while a decent card, doesn't do a deck justice unless you fully commit to a warrior deck. It'll definitely be a junk rare within a few weeks after release.

jandrobard as am I and thank you kindly

DaigarStrasis, while your statements may be true, I am going to have to wait and see what happens. The purpose of the deck isnt to be a Warrior deck, it is to be an Aggro deck that happens to have some synergy due to the amount of Warriors in it.

In the end you may be right, but I going to play it and tweak it for awhile before I give up.

Have you considered Heir of the Wilds? Its already a great 2/2 for two but when you give it double strike with the foremost its just too gross to handle. Also, maybe Citadel Siege because it happens every one of your combats and can be used defensively if need be. Hope that helps!

do you have an answer to stormbeath dragon? were gonna see a lot more of them in the new set and they cause a lot of problems for decks like this

Have you considered any Dragon Slayers? They fit the role of a 1-drop 2/1 and have fairly relevant abilities vs a lot of DTK's cards.

Wow! There has been a fair amount of activity/discussion since I last check. Thank you all

mystyc I actually have 4 of him in the SB, for match-ups with big creatures, and his lifegain seems like it could be helpful

kavothe Well Stormbreath Dragon could be a big problem, but I am hoping that I will have dealt a healthy amount of damage before he comes down turn 4-5. 12 of the creatures he doesn't have protection from and if they get doublestrike from Arashin Foremost or a boost from Gather Courage then they will trade, which is they best I can hope for with the current list. Other tha that I will have to race it.

Exiled_soul Heir of the Wildsactually didnt come to mind when I built the deck, but he is cheap and has the Warrior subtype. I just feel like the deck cannot utilize his potential with his Ferocious and the Siege is something I have been considering if Anafenza doesnt pull her weight (which is very possible)

Sorry, meant Dragon Hunter the 2/1 Pro. Dragons. Though the Hidden Dragonslayer seems good too.

+1 from me. Look's like the format is speeding up again. Thanks for the sideboard ideas.

I suggest you play 6 plains and 8 forest. No particular reason, but the mana chart doesn't line up. Great job on the deck otherwise. +1

I'm surprised

No Dromoka's Command?

Another MTGO Update

2-0 vs a Rakdos Waste Not deck: Though his deck was sweet, Waste Not was simply not fast enough to keep up. It didn't help that I pooped out my hand early both games and my one drops were able to trade with any zombies made.

1-1 (Win by Time) vs Gw Devotion: Game 1 showed that this deck can get brick walled, and then in Game two the board stalled again (He had 3 Monstrous Lions), but a three time fully pumped Warden of the First Tree gave me the trample damage to win. Even though the timeout gave me the win, I would have loved to have seen a Game 3

And still undefeated vs Mono-Red(2-0). Now I just need to come across an Atarka Red deck to see how much that will affect play

April 28, 2015 11:22 p.m.

lol @3 monstrous lion

Maybe try siding some trample like Tread Upon?
