Thanks guys, I think I’ve gotten over my loneliness and frustration now. For a while there I was doubting whether or not I should stay on this forum d'oh!.
Now I’m better, so let’s work on the other articles! TheFirst has an interesting one up, check it out Wink

whoo! It’s always a problem getting people to get on here. If you’;re worried about volume, I’ll get firing again after a little while. I do have marching band for a while, though, and that’s a 30-hour week additional to school all fall. (and 9 to 9 camp for two weeks before school!)

Well, that’s really the only advice I can give to you if you want to improve your deck. For casual play it is looking very decent.

I often build casual decks but they don’t last for a long time if they don’t win at least some games. I do not mean by this that your deck is awful (not at all) I really love those synergies but it is hard to improve your deck. It seems very well balanced. And especially for those decks, to improve them, they need to be rebuild from scratch (unless they are working fine the way they are).

I often base my casual decks around the kiss principle. Having casual combos in a consistent and simple deck, tend to improve the overall performance of casual decks. In a later stadium, I make them more complex if the first version seems to be running smoothly and provide me with enough wins or fun to outweight the effort put into the deck.

I just don’t like the idea of using Savra, I think she’s kind of weak. Maybe you could switch her out for Fallen Angel or Nantuko Husk.

OF COURSE!!! Now I see the answer. Savra is nice with all the sacrificing, but there’s an answer along the lines you’re going down, but one that works in perfect harmony with the rest of the deck. It also fits with you’re notes on lots of mana.

So here is my big finisher, hopefully in time for all of you guys to vote:
-2 Savra, Queen of the Golgari
+2 Void Maw Twisted Evil

We got beefy, we got win condition, we got synergy all around!!!

Now THAT sounds more like a finisher! Twisted Evil I LOVED this guy the minute I saw him on the spoiler! (btw, still no sign of the Pre-Release here... heh, what one can do, right?)

How does Void Maw work in perfect harmony with the rest of the deck???

If nullifies your Germination. It doesn’t really work that well with the March.

A 4/5 trample for 6 mana... I’ve seen better.

It is a real beast in limited but I do have my doubts for constructed. I’d rather put him in the sb.

Void Maw is a much better fit in the deck than Savra ever was. Savra was there to sweeten the deal for all of your sacrificing abilities (STE, Thoughtpicker Witch, Plagued Rusalka, Wild Cantor), to provide a finisher for when you get your combo out, and to act semi-control.

Void Maw doesn’t interfere with any of the other cards except Germination. It actually improves Bloodbond March, as it becomes less symmetrical (you can hold up your opponent’s creatures).

You’re not taking into account the theme of the deck when you say "I’ve seen better". Of course there are better stand-alone cards as finishers, but in this deck Void Maw is the best choice. This deck can do what Ghost Husk can do in terms of sacrificing, and Void Maw is a better choice here since it works so well with March, it curves out better, and it tramples.

Sorry, Felipe, about your lack of pre-release Sad. I hope it’s a good event when those customs guys get their act together!

Those Brazilian customs agents tick me off. Mad Laughing

Nice article, sorry it went unreviewed for so long. I’ll be starting a thread soon about how to get more activity going around here...

Yeah, they can be a pain, just hope they don’t get in the way of my first order from Cobra Cards, it’s gonna be frustrating... Sad
I hope I at least WIN the Pre-Release, I mean, a sealed booster box from a new edition for very little cost is a sweet deal! Plus the 5 boosters I’ll get just for playing, and the foil Allosaurus Rider! Very Happy
I don't like YOU.
