The new aggro

Okay, so some justification for some of the card choices. So this deck is more about synergy aggro. So you have the 1 drop aggro creatures for early damage. Same for hellspark. Visionary is for the card draw and a possible damage or 2. bitterblossom is for the creature count, and it is insane with loxodon. Loxodon is in there for the life gain to offset bitter blossom, and because it makes things big, and is hard to get rid of. Ad nauseam is in there for the card draw, and its even better if seismic assault is down. There are 27 lands in the deck, and if you notice, not one spell (other than ad nauseam) costs more than 4. You play ad nauseam at the end of your opponents turn with seismic down, and draw as many cards as you can depending on your life total. If the game is going well you should be able to take like 8-10 damage drawing around 6-10 cards, hopefully 4-5 lands, and then untap, play a bloodraid or a hellspark, swing for a bit, and then kill your opponent with the lands in hand. If you don't draw the ad nauseam, and you do get the seismic assault, no problem, just beat your opponent with bitter, figure, loxodon, or what ever else you have in play. Loxodon and bitter become especially relevant if your opponent is playing a wrath heavy deck because you can pretty much set the combo up every turn with 4 in the air with life link.

Okay, so those are the justifications. I want to put garruk in there but I am not sure what to take out. I am thinking lavalanch and banefire for the sideboard. I don't know what else though.

You mention how good Bitterblossom / Warhammer are after Wrath so why not use Damnation in the sideboard to board sweep other aggros, which will still give you a 4/1 flier. Just a suggestion but I would sideboard the 2 Maelstrom Pulse for 2 more Terminate.

Nevermine about the Damnation comment, I didn't realize this was a standard legal deck. But the deck seems interesting.

The maelstrom pulses are there to get rid of ittitating enchantments and planeswalkers, or tokens. The card is extremely versitile, and it is only one more mana than terminate which is limited to creatures. I am noticing that for some reason I am not drawing the seismic assaults and the ad nauseams as much as I would like, in fact, barely at all. I am tempted to ad more, but I don't want to play adnauseam, and then run into another one. It has happened once or twice in play testing and it sucks. Bloodbraid isn't working as well as I would like it to either, because often times I would much rather cascade into a seismic assault rather than a figure or hellspark, or any other creature (although sometimes the visionary is nice). Loxodon isn't bad to cascade into, but it is a high cost card like bloodbraid that I don't want to run into when I play ad nauseam. I was thinking about adding white to the deck so that I can add in swans and celestial purge, but I don't know if its worth it. I thought about just making this into the new cascade swans deck, but it doesn't seem to hold up very well to aggro. the soonest the combo can start working is 4th turn when you can start chucking lands at your swans until you draw 10 lands, and then kill your opponent, but I don't know how likely it is that you will have a seismic assault and a swans in your hand. also with the bloodbraid you get the seismic out so that seems nice, but then your still stuck until 5th turn when you can play the swans. So idk. I guess it is usually a 4-5 turn win, but if someone can kill you faster than that, or thought hemorrhage your seismic assaults, game over.

I understand why malestrom pulse is in the deck but after thinking about it I've reversing my previous comment to "taking out the 2 terminate for another 2 malestrom pulses". I don't see how if they thougth hemorrhage the seismic assault that it would be game over; the deck still has aggro creatures, bitterblossoms, and loxodon warhammers. But if your worried about thought hemmorage, faster decks, or combo decks try thoughtseize. I know that with bitterblossom and ad nauseam that you're already losing alot of life but thoughtseize could be just enough to turn the game in your favor by getting rid of any threats. I don't know what to suggest to get seismic assault more often other than to put another one in the deck. I would say you don't want anymore ad nauseam as the chance of hitting one with an ad nauseam increase which losing 5 life for a useless card at that point in the game just sucks.

so I was talking about the cascade swans deck when I was talking about the thought hemorrhage. if someone thought hemorrhaged this deck, it wouldn't really do much. This deck has so many threats and win conditions that thought hemorrhage would be good for me because it would be a turn that my opponent wasted, lol. I will throw up a cascade swans deck on the site so people can see exactly what it is.
