Archangel of Thune and Scavenging Ooze - Each time you activate Scavenging oozes ability, Archangel of Thunes ability triggers. Ex.) If you use Scavenging oozes ability 3 times, all your creatures get +3/+3. Also, Scavenging Ooze gets 2 +1/+1 counters each trigger. One +1/+1 from Scavenging Ooze , and the other from Archangel of Thune . There should be a lot of creatures in the graveyard as well because you have a decent amount of spot removal in the deck including
Mizzium Mortars
, Searing Spear , Bonfire of the Damned , and you can possibly use Boros Reckoner as a "Kill spell."
Boros Reckoner - Because he's just an extremely hard card to get rid of easily. Very good and useful card for the 3 mana. Well worth it. He can be used as a burn card as well if they try to kill him. You can either deal the damage applied to him straight to their face, or you can take out one of their heavy hitters on the field and feed your Scavenging Ooze and Archangel of Thune combo.
Thragtusk and Restoration Angel - Pretty straight foward, Cast Restoration Angel targeting Thragtusk and walla. You have a 3/3 token, a Thragtusk , and you gained 5 life yet again. Also, you yet again triggered Archangel of Thune buffing ability.
Fiendslayer Paladin - Becuase like reckoner, hes well worth the 3 mana. He is a 2/2 first strike lifelink and pro pretty much most removal. Very good stall card, and also contributes to Archangel of Thunes buffing ability.
Loxodon Smiter - Do I even need a reason? A 4/4 for 3 who cannot be countered and if he is discarded, he just plops right on the field for free! Very good stall card. He is out of reach of Searing Spear and a few other burn spells with just makes him a bit tougher to deal with.
Avacyn's Pilgrim - Because she's just a little bit of ramp. You don't need too much ramp considering the highest mana cost in this deck is 5, But it is still needed.
Mizzium Mortars
- 2 mana to get rid of most of the threats in standard right now. The reason why I run 4
Mizzium Mortars
and 2 Searing Spear is because the fact that I can't target players with the
Mizzium Mortars
doesnt bother me. The main focus of all of the burn spells in this deck is to control your opponent, and feed your Scavenging Ooze .
Mizzium Mortars
can also deal with those pesky Loxodon Smiters where Searing Spear , cannot. Pretty much, overall,
Mizzium Mortars
can deal with more threats than Searing Spear ever could.
Bonfire of the Damned - Pretty simple. It's just a field wipe. This card can really mess up a G/R aggro as most of those creatures toughness is only 3 or less.
