| You know the format is interesting when 1 mana 2/2s aren't good enough to make an aggro deck's cut. |

| Obviously not, but in past formats Isamaru would have been an automatic inclusion in any aggro deck. There was a time when Goblin Cohort would have been really good. Right now, he doesn't get played. The creatures in this format are as high quality as we've ever seen by a pretty large margin. There are just countless creatures at nearly every possible mana cost that are well above average. |

| i tweakedruels hand in hand for a JSS competition in St. Cloud Minnesota........i took second. i REALLY like this deck it has a ton of potential it def. needs to drop a ghost council for a mortify. cuz you get ghost council overload. but i think that ruels version is crazy good so i advise people to play it. |

This deck is amazing against aggro. I'm 7-0 matches against Gruul beats.
I cut 1 Rusalka, 1 Teysa, and 1 Ghost-Council for 1 Mortify, 1 Descendant of Kiyomaro, and 1 Shrieking Grotesque.
I think the Distresses sideboard are kind of :-/ and need to be substituted for something better. I can't tell you what. Descendants, another Jitte, maybe a third Terashi's Grasp, some Paladin En-Vecs, etc.. I haven't thought of any good ideas yet. |

I've tested this deck before it's appearance in honolulu and i must disagree with your opinion. Teysa is so much powerful.... Plagued Rusalka + Teysa is prolly gg vs mirror and zoo/grull decks.
After sb, u have only advantages against agro. Ruel's version is a bit more directioned against control, but if u are playing that new version with black and white shoals, zoo is almost a bye against this |

| to be honest in early versions os BW its understandable not to run okiba gang since its hardly good synergy with Bob |

You're right. Hand in Hand should play 4 Castigate main and 2 Castigate sideboard. GREAT IDEA.
Anyways, on a serious note, I'm gonna play some Mox Jet and Mox Pearl in Hand in Hand, because I won't get d/qed. |

| How about Persecute in the SB. I can hardly believe Ruel hasn't put that in, perhaps the meta wasn't what I think it was. |
