The new Mardu khan's a 3/2 for 2R with First Strike that lets you pay (w/b)(w/b) when she attacks to return a creature with power 2 or less to the battlefield tapped and attacking. Rabbles just got harder to kill.

My experiment was, overall, a flop. Keeping mana open for Tymaret and Bloodsoaked Champion was a bit too much of a hindrance, as these were competing with Butcher and the like.

I didn't see a thread for this deck. Briefly, it is based around Veteran Explorer and Cabal Therapy . You get a chance for some disruption and, usually, one-sided mana acceleration.

My only concern would be playing too many SBD if you're also playing Elspeth which limits how useful her -3 can be from a topdeck situation. If Elspeth were in my 75 I would lean a bit heavier on Sarkhan, but it's a pretty minor issue. At this point, you are also running a pretty heavy top end, say...

Why not swap Brimaz for Master of the Feast? Your mana base skews R splash B, and I think it'd be easier to land this one than Brimaz. Seems like you get more value, too.

I look forward to hearing back from you Eldub. Does Master of the Feast have a place in BR variants of Mardu, in place of Brimaz? A 5/5 flier for three seems pretty potent, but its the drawback that I'd be concerned with.
