Pretty solid list except the ground assault seems questionable. Maybe be better cutting down a Selesnya Charm and Ground assault for searing spears (Based on the meta we saw at SCG Open.) Not only does it kill all the major threats turn 2, but its cheaper on mana and hits the face when you're playing as the aggressor.

Hope you can trade/buy for all the stuff you need good luck! =]

@jdacheifs0 Yeah I started the decklist with what I'd seen at the prerelease and worked from there. Ground Assault stuck but it's definitely not as good in the format as a Searing Spear .

I'm trying to decide if Arbor Elf is better than card:Avacyn's Pilgrim here. It would untap 11 out of 24 lands, which is statistically better (45%) than the 33% needed white mana by pilgrim.

I feel with the number of 2 and 3 ofs of certain could be bad. You have a bit of variety but you need consistency, I can help you test it if you want! Good luck!

Yeah I'm still figuring out what cards will stay and how many I'll need. As it is there's no decisive curve or optimal hand, so I'll be deciding which cards fit best.

I'll add Farseek and see where it goes from there, suggestions are always appreciated!

You definitely want to find room for Flinthoof Boar. I've been playtesting my naya deck, Dr. Steven Brule and the boar is definitely the stand out card

I feel like it's a bit too aggro for this deck, I'm going more midrange

Might as well be running a playset of Boros Reckoner ; it's too good to not.

You should consider using Huntsmaster of the Fells, he works really well with Restoration Angel and it a really solid midrange card for this deck.

I wish I had some Huntmaster of the Fells  ^Flip, I'd put him in the deck without a second thought.
I guess if I have the opportunity to trade for another Boros Reckoner, I'll get it

Blind Obedience Skullcrack and Triumph of Ferocity are all good sideboard cards.

I love Domri Rade coming in from the side-board against control. He's obviously good enough to run main-board, but using him in mid-range can be too much of a gamble.

But against control, he has the potential to net you some free card advantage (in the form of more creatures), he can help you deal with any pesky blockers, and his ultimate turns every creature you cast into a win-condition.

I think that using Domri Rade in your sideboard would be a good idea, but I guess I was beaten to the punch, haha.

Really nice deck, +1!

I heard you had problems against Jund.

Jund's ability to stabilize with Olivia, Rakdos's Return and their plethora of card advantage is what makes their deck so resilient

I would recommend the use of Garruk, Primal Hunter in order to work on your midrange matchup. The ability to spew 3/3 beasts, as well as a possible Draw-5, is a boon that is very useful in this deck.

I would also recommend Angel of Serenity, as she can single-handedly win the game.

Suggested changes -

-3 Boros Charm

-1 Aurelia, the Warleader

+2 Angel of Serenity

+2 Garruk, Primal Hunter

Sideboard changes:

While I believe in the 2x Frontline Medic being a good idea, then I believe that this could be a much better card.

I would recommend the use of Domri Rade instead. With 25 creatures in the deck, you have a decent chance of hitting a trigger. I'd side them in against Midrange, and I'd side them in against Control.

Total recommended SB Changes...

-2 Frontline Medic

-1 Pithing Needle

+1 Centaur Healer

+2 Domri Rade

Lemme know if this helps you at all...

I don't know how to say this, but your deck is perfectly fine. It's very traditional. I'd say don't worry about tweaking unless you want to balance out numbers, but that's pretty much it.

FROZR2, wow, thanks for that. It used to be very different, with a bigger red component, but I didn't have the mana base to sustain it and it did poorly. I haven't had many chances to test this out though, and what I'm considering doing is to add another Thragtusk in place of the Wolfir Silverheart (even though I love that guy), as well as adding more shocklands.

My biggest issue right now is the sideboard; my local shop has a pretty varied meta, but the decks I have the biggest issue against are control (especially Esper) and Jund midrange. I want to add one more Sigarda, Host of Herons and one or two more Thalia, Guardian of Thraben , but I'm not sure what to cut for them.

This is the deck i have been running at fnm
