hmm i guess however i have found the bonfire as a great finisher for the last 6-7dmg late game
what do you reccomend as a substitute for beast then?
What do you think about the surgical extraction? I feel it's very strong against decks that revolve around 3-4 key cards or vs control decks to remove those pesky counters alt. thoughtseizes and such.Have you tried running choke in your sideboard? It's suprisingly strong in this format
That is very true about the dragon. Didnt think of the chandra's abilitie that way.. I have alot to learn! ;)
Can you link your deck please?
Hey there, thanks for the great response!Im not to sure on the Magus since I feel many decks have alot of creature removal and can easily be bolted if need be and just doesn't feel as consistent as a blood moon. How do you feel he works out for you?Yes, I have tried that setup but I felt the Molten Rains were too inconsistent on needing double red for your turn 2 pang a land. Might try it out again and fit in my 3 goblin dark-dwellers again but i feel that the life gain from baloth and thragtusk is very important vs strong and fast aggro decks. Our main "weakness" is really aggro decks and Eldrazi. They are the only hard matchups really. I only cast beast within if I feel that the threat is greater than a 3/3 beast.. If you can balance those options I find it life saving alot of games!Stormbreath has won me quiet a few games actually where the protection from white has came in handy. I dont often get to monstrous it as often as I would like but this im not too sure, it feels more like a flex card to me and if I find a better creature this is gonna be one of the first to go.. Still testing it!I run the Chandra mainly for the extra card draw . She has no problem surviving with a few fatties protecting her. Her +1 is "ok" and her ulti is useless really. But this deck as you may have noticed has problems with the card draw and it's really between her and harmonize where i find Chandra has more value. Yes you are right about the garruk being slightly more useful but he does not offer the important card draw option. I might actually try 1x Garruk and 1x Chandra and see how it plays out.The bonfire is a must have in the deck. It's great against ALOT of decks out there and the burn to both player and creeps has won me countless games. I have seen people running 4x but I feel that you want to draw it a bit later in the game and 4x is just gonna have you draw it more often then you want. Possibly even running 2x could be viable. Will need to test this more and see.
About the fracturing gust yes that is a downside however its such a mana heavy spell you will normally only cast it later in the game when you dont "need" the mana ramp as much so I am still test playing it and seeing how it plays out. I personally love the beast within however it's important to know how to play it right . You only want to cast it on the opponents more important threats and not their lands. Also its good if you need and extra creep you can cast it on your thrun (regen your thrun ofc) or a land and get a 3/3 into play. Well it's all about the ramp. You want to always be able to cast your land destruction and since the deck only runs 3x stomping, 1 mountain and 2 bops its not always guaranteed you are sitting with 2 red at turn 2 and since you want a guaranteed 2nd turn cast you want to run stone rain.
Please throw a comment and lets all help out to make this deck even better! :)
