A deck concept swiped from the recent Grand Prix in Stockholm, Premodern format. Kudos to Jonas Bjärnstedt for such a flavor rich deck, and thanks for helping me understand the aggro meta.

Title Credit; Harlan Ellison. I love you man.

January 1st, 2019(20!): Adding a few other cards to the maybeboard as I've seen some more ideas on the FB page. It looks like the decks ticks as follows: (1) Aggro baby, all the way...TORA!TORA!TORA! (2) Some disruption in the form of critter-killers and discard spells. (3) The Hatred combo. Well, it combos with almost everything in the deck.

I would love to get this deck down to the $100 mark to have an aggro/glass cannon deck in my battlebox, and there's some hope I would say.

January 2nd, 2020: I'll give a shot at changing the decklist to meet the premodern meta a little more efficiently, no discredit to Jonas. I think there are a few more disruptive creatures that could help break the combo-heavy meta without really disrupting the ultra-aggro/glass cannon approach, which is really why this deck is so cool. For the sake of record keeping, here is Jonas's original list:

1x Ancient Tomb (TMP) 4x Carnophage (EXO) 2x Contagion (ALL) 4x Dark Ritual (ICE) 1x Dauthi Horror (TMP) 4x Dauthi Slayer (TMP) 2x Flesh Reaver (USG) 4x Hatred (EXO) 2x Hidden Horror (WTH) 1x Infernal Contract (MIR) 1x Kaervek's Spite (VIS) 1x Lake of the Dead (ALL) 4x Phyrexian Negator (UDS) 4x Sarcomancy (TMP) 4x Skittering Skirge (USG) 3x Snuff Out (MMQ) 18x Swamp (MIR)
