I dont think resounding thunder is very good, 3 damage for 3
and 6 damage for 8..
Incinerate might be better here if your looking for spot removal, i would also cut down to 2 ultimatums
Looks pretty decent i guess, Why not BoP tho, maybe change mana base a little bit to pain lands. Nothing else to do turn 1  |

resoundering thunder is bad UNLESS it is being cycled
6 damage, a card and uncounterable= countrol loses |

| Well resounding thunder > incienrate in this deck because cycling ftw is good as well as drawing the card. Paying 1 more to deal 3 is fine. |

| i would prolly cut 1 shriekmaw, 1 broodmate, 1 thunder, 1 ultimatum for 1 primal command and 3 cloudtresher. It gives you an actual chance against fearies. I also firmly believe siege-gang should be in that list somewhere. I do not know where though. |

| I dont know why everything thinks faerie match up is so hard. Colossus firespout and jund charm are all pretty damn good. |

1º you use pain lands when you should be using reflecting pool instead, 2º i agree with cutting the thunders and 1 ultimatum to add 3 clousthresher and 2 primal command, 3º i think hellkite overload is too good to leave out of this deck maybe 1-2 tops...maybe sharkhan vol is betther than garruk here i dont know and 4º we must try to find a way to use 2-4 kitchen finks on MD....Sprouting Thrinax still doesnt quite convince me but i havent tryed the deck so it may be pretty good i dont know....maybe in sb mind shatter and thougthsize's + fulminator mage to improve against faeries/QnT because i think you should beat aggro pretty much every time
Overoll i guess the deck has chances to be tier 1-2, last season it was a good choice until storm and lark became extremly popular and this meta doesnt have storm and lark loss a lot of it's power |

| Anything less than 4 Treetop Village and 4 Resounding Thunder is insane. |
