I normally have a policy against criticizing decks, but this is ridiculous.

That RG aggro deck is just terrible. 1st place doran looks awesome, I'm going to have to try that.

looks a lot more like r/g ramp than aggro to me

---

by Lynolf on 2008-07-10 16:25 MDT

Wow! The first deck looks awesome. Its nice to see some change in block finally! And yes, that Gr Mana Ramp deck is weird, but since it won, it can't be that bad I suppose.

Dramatic Entrance?

What?

Turn 3 Woodfall Primus is pretty nuts I guess, but the card just seems terrible outside of the occasional nuts draw.

Awesome Combo!! Dramatic+Primus!!

Faeries>all

how is that rg aggro. why do people still play mind shatter in sb of faeries it is really bad in the deck

---

by ChiDoRiE on 2008-07-10 18:19 MDT

I have it because a lot of the time, against 5-color decks, I will fight over a spell on their turn (clique or one of their spells, generally), and they will be tapped out on my turn but I won' have anything to abuse that with. Mind Shatter is the closest thing I could find.

i found the deck this morning on deckcheck and it looked fun so i played it. i got down a turn 3 primus in 3 of my 9 games so i guess it worked pretty well. the deck is actually called optimus prime if anyone is looking for the deck list elsewhere.

I love how everyone comments about the first place deck, when really it is the same list PV top 8'd the master with. With some changes in the board I think.

Yeah, the rg deck actually won a ptq, but I still think it looks like trash. However, PV's deck (the 1st place deck) looks really solid. Witchtel took out 2 redcaps for 2 more o. rings

---

by Ro on 2008-07-11 01:36 MDT

It is card disadvantage, but playing Woodfall Primus at instant speed on turn 3 is pretty awesome.

That deck won a ptq btw.

r/g aggro.

1 cc: 0
2 cc: 4
3 cc: 8
4 cc: 6
5 cc: 10
6 cc: 4
7 cc: 0
8 cc: 4

Since when does aggro run more 3, 4, or 5 drops than 1 or 2 drops.

---

by Eldariel on 2008-07-11 04:20 MDT

It's obviously RG Control.

---

by Wichtelman on 2008-07-11 06:22 MDT

its PV's list main 1 card changed cuz i dont like
randomness :-P
dont know about sb

---

by TugaChampion on 2008-07-11 08:33 MDT

gypsy: mind shatter is good against 5c commands. You tap them out with your Mistbind Clique or even in a war at their eot and then you mind shatter for 3 or more. Still I wouldn't play more than 2.

---

by MitchMachine on 2008-07-11 10:12 MDT

PV broke the format (:

Witchelman, go die in a whole for playing OVersoul of Dusk. I thank all GW players in Top4 for not playing Shield of the Oversoul

---

by Trotsky1 on 2008-07-11 13:11 MDT

Yes he should go die in a hole for playing a card because shatta think's it is bad, who needs intelligent debate over if a card is good or not when you can just insult the other person to make your point. I mean dont you find that people who are so smart that they make there point by insulting threatening, belittling someone else are almost always right with there opinion because there logic is flawless.

god your bad, please stop talking, giving your opinion on or typing about magic again

---

by gypsy on 2008-07-11 14:52 MDT

mind shatter is a lot worse than puppeteer clique vs 5c decks i would never play mind shatter

---

by TugaChampion on 2008-07-11 14:57 MDT

both are good and different. I play both. Mind Shatter for 3 or more can be devastating.

---

by Streakz on 2008-07-11 18:09 MDT

PV didn't break the format; there's no way the Doran deck has a +50% matchup against Kithkin, people just stopping playing Kithkin (I assume) so much so that deck was able to make an appearance. Maybe I'm wrong and I'm sure I will be informed so if I am but I would guess that is the case.

---

by Nemcon on 2008-07-11 19:47 MDT

The Doran deck, from my testing, has fared pretty well against all forms of aggro, it pretty much can drop fast fatties, has sweepers in firespout and thresher, and then races with the fat.
