Im not sure if anyone mentioned this yet. I didnt read the comments above. But i was playing around with card:Cathars' Crusade and found a terribly mean combo. check it.

card:Cathars' Crusade is on the field, so is Chandra, the Firebrand . Now use her -2 to copy a Thatcher Revolt . :3

lol, that is an insanely mean combo, i thought about Chandra, the Firebrand but i feel she just slows down the deck to much, i might think about her for the future though, thanks for the comment.

I would say maybe add some Champion of the Parish es because of the token generators. And maybe Parallel Lives so you get lots and lots of tokens

I have thought deeply about both of those cards, but they don't do enough to make remove something else, i even tried it out Parallel Lives at FNM but it always seems to be a win more card. thanks for the comment and +1!

I don't know how to feel about the decks name, since everything generically 1/1's... outside of that, try maybe try something that like, oh, i don't know, card:Avacyn's Pilgrim... might speed the deck up a little.

I had him in their originally but he almost always became a dead drop, and with so much control in my meta he wouldn't do much before a board wipe happened.I find that farseek is much better and helps me majorly with mana fixing, when gate crash come out ill deffenitly be adding Arbor Elf and the new shock lands.

Huntmaster of the Fells  Flip ? Never hurts to have some token generation and removal.

Yeah, the Mob Boss doesn't do as much good as he should be doing, try maybe 2 Huntmaster of the Fells  Flip or Thragtusk .... Thrag for a big body and life gain (Five drop) or the Huntmaster for nice spot removal on the flip and some minor token production.... plus Huntmaster kills a flipped delver.

Ok i think i'll add some Huntmaster of the Fells  Flip and see how he works out, i was just never a big fan of him.

I'm not a big fan of neither, but to win, you need to do things you don't like much, besides, the Krenkos aren't doing you much, id say drop them...

maybe to add some card advantage here, try splashing a little black with Overgrown Tomb and one or two of the land Grim Backwoods ... or try to really splash the black and go for some Underworld Connections or Bloodgift Demon ... draw is always an advantage you know :D

against aggro decks, the krenkos might get side boarded out, but they do great against control or mid-ranged decks, thanks for the advise, i'll keep them in mind and see if their oftentimes a deadrop which they haven't been yet

i thought about splashing black for Lingering Souls and i never thought about Grim Backwoods , it's defenitly a possibility, thanks

December 5, 2012 6:40 p.m.

Nazsmith says... #15

No probs... should have also though about Lingering Souls should with black anyway :P It's not like that mana base is't possible anymore :D

You need more fliers anyway, try dropping two of the Increasing's for souls, a couple land swapped to overgrown and bloodcrypt, go for four color tokens, and for the interesting thing, try Rally the Peasants .... it may seem stupid, but in hard core tokens, its amazing.... it's like a gavony township but, can get a kill a turn earlier.... I'm not going to lie though, i don't like the crusades... but hey, if it works for you :D (It just seems to mess up the mana base)...

card:Cathars' Crusade always seems damn slow to me. Might be my area meta--if you're not winning by turn four, you may as well scoop. In any case, I try to keep the top of mana curve at 4, unless it's a win-con like Burn at the Stake . As it is now, this deck doesn't have a single one-drop card.

my meta was filled with control decks when i was using this deck and card:Cathars' Crusade, pretty much made them have to board wipe almost every turn. against the few aggro decks in my meta i would side board it out.

I would like to copy this and update it.
