Found that the deck was running to slow and could not compete against black/red aggro type decks. Reworked it into v3.

Hey Darling, a few card ideas.Path of Bravery, Sanguine Bond, Theros: Pherikas Cure, Heroes Downfall, Triad of Fates
Replaced Ivy Lane with Putrefy, and Deadbridge Goliath with Varolz. That evens things out well, and the scavenge on Varolz keeps all my creatures useful even after their death.
Yeah, that is one of the balances I was really trying to figure out. The Corpsejack needs to stay as it is what give the deck so much lethality. I looked into lotleth troll, and dreg mangler, but for what they did for the deck, the creatures i've included seemed to do more (not saying they will in the long run, because I'm worried to about the black mana being in there just for Corpsejack).Putrefy is something I would like to put in there though, and I can see replacing Ivy Lane with it to be totally worth it.
With the whole gods and heroes theme it will be interesting. I'm kind of expecting huge creatures, but also some new type of abilities for bringing them down with smaller creatures.
Yeah, I keep hoping they are going to start spoiling Theros, the block that is cycling out is so huge that it is tough conceptualizing a current standard deck.Thats true about Alpha Authority, I dont have much protection against bounce or kill spells and that would help a lot. At the very minimum, at least as a side board.
Same thing with Lambholdt, it cycles out in September :/ I'm still working on a few tweaks, I'm not sure I'm happy with the creature curve. Renegade Krasis and Vastwood Hydra are the two in particular that I'm trying to decide the value of.I'm open to suggestions :D haha
Kalonian Hydra I left out simply because I don't want to spend $15-$20 per card for it in the deck, and I ruled out a lot of cards like Vastwood Hydra because I built the deck to still be Standard after the rotations in September :)
