Although dragons of tarkir has been out for a couple weeks and I went to the prerelease, I can't think of many cards from DTK that I want to add... Thoughts/ideas?
Basically an aggro/midrange deck, with side board for control using
Wild Slash
, Anger of the Gods,
Temur Charm
and
Neutralizing Blast
.
ideal play
turn two: Rattleclaw Mystic or
Heir of the Wilds
turn three: Savage Knuckleblade (swing three with heir if viable)
turn four:
Shaman of the Great Hunt
swing 11 with big daddy Knux (4), shaman (4), and heir (3) and whatever isn't blocked gets a +1/+1 counter
Ferocious triggers are (4) Savage Knuckleblade, (3)
Boon Satyr
, (2)
Sagu Mauler
, (3)
Shaman of the Great Hunt
, (1) Whisperwood Elemental, (1) Yasova Dragonclaw and (1) Surrak Dragonclaw.
Keep in mind that tapped out doesn't include fetch lands in their mana Pie charts, so I actually have 4 more red and green symbols,
Savage Knuckleblade this is probably my favorite standard creature. First of all 4/4 (ferocious trigger) for three, what?! And it has three abilities?! Outrageous! Hasty, removal prevention, and power pump! I am surprised this isn't very popular in the current meta (at least in my area).
Shaman of the Great Hunt
this guy is a card your opponents have to respond to, otherwise they die.
Temur Battle Rage is my favorite two drop instant in standard.... Double strike and trample for two... Wut.
Temur Ascendancy - haste and ferocious draw engine. Nuff said.
Stubborn Denial is among the most Dickinsons counter spell in standard, so of course I run it!
Heir of the Wilds
is handy for creature control/early board presence.
Crater's Claws with a ferocious trigger on the field is basically Shock + Fireball, effective for face burning and creature removal!
Boon Satyr
- more utility! 3 drop ferocious trigger with flash! Bestow is really just a bonus (especially onto a
Sagu Mauler
). Flash in to block, or for the ferocious trigger with Stubborn Denial to counter something icky.
Rattleclaw Mystic is a solid mana dork, especially when you can flip it from morph for a Knuckleblade or any other ramp.
Clever Impersonator helps me respond to threats with equivalent threats and rebalance the scales (in my favor), i.e. Planeswalkers, Siege Rhino, Whip of Erebos, Courser of Kruphix, Prophet of Kruphix. Very versatile sideboard card.
Whisperwood Elemental is a great card to "turn the heat up" on your opponent.
Sagu Mauler
is an amazing fatty. Trample and hexproof!
