Atarka Sligh

What list are you running now? Theres a quite large variety in sideboards these days, wouldn't mind taking a look at your take on it
I'm on the landfall variant. I don't think it's the 'best' as I know that people are posting results with all 3 versions but it's the one I've had most success with. Abzan Aggro decks are starting to pack Self-Inflicted Wound though so it may be that a switch to the PVDDR tokens list is a better meta choice moving forward. Here's where I'm currently at

[deck]Atarkafall[/deck]
Land (24)
5 Forest
5 Mountain
2 Cinder Glade
4 Windswept Heath
4 Wooded Foothills
4 Bloodstained Mire

Creature (20)
4 Monastery Swiftspear
4 Scythe Leopard
4 Snapping Gnarlid
4 Abbot of Keral Keep
4 Den Protector

Instant (16)
4 Atarka's Command
4 Titan's Strength
3 Become Immense
3 Temur Battle Rage
2 Fiery impulse

SB (15)
3 Rending Volley
3 Roast
3 Arc Lightning
2 Outpost Siege
2 Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker
2 Fiery Impulse
[/deck]

These links are all worth a look if you're interested in playing the deck -

Totally agree, I've played the different builds of Atarka - tokens, Flamewakes, landfall and none of them really cut it as every other list has gazillions of life gain effects. Standard is terrible right now, IMHO :(
What a difference 4 days and not being a grouchy bastard makes! I'm thoroughly enjoying Standard and having a great time with Atarkafall :)

I'm currently testing Den Protector. It's an excellent addition and adds another dimension to the deck.

@Jasper: Are you still testing Atarka or are you now focused on MonoR/Blue Splash?

- - - - -

Anyone get the chance to play against GW Constellation with MonoR? I played against it a few times online and just Token + Command / Immense them to death but it seem like its unwinnable from the MonoR side of things.
Yes, I beat it comfortably with RDW, haven't faced it with Atarka. GW Collected Company on the other hand was a nightmare, it totally destroyed me even when I got a decent hand :(

Atarka Sligh

[deck=LaZer's Atarka]
Creatures ~ 11
3 Zurgo Bellstriker
4 Taylor
4 FSD

Goblins ~ 8
4 Fodder
4 Outburst

Burn ~ 20
4 Wild Slash
1 Searing Blood
4 Lightning Strike
4 Atarka's Command
3 Exquisite Firecraft
4 Stoke the Flames

Lands ~ 21
4 Wooded Foothills
4 Mana Confluence
1 Temple of Abandon
11 Mountain
1 Forest

SB ~ 15
4 Eidolon
4 Roast
3 Searing Blood
1 Equisite Firecraft
3 Satyr Firedancer
[/deck]

This is where I'm at, it's only 4 cards away from my pre Origins list. Added a land because I find myself wanting to hit 3 land consistently and kept stalling with 20. Put in Firecraft because it's great :) Tested Abbot and was underwhelmed to say the least. The numbers here might need a few tweaks here and there and I'm certain that any number of variations ~ Rabble, Heelcutter, Lightning Berserker ~ will work too because I've played them :)

I really really want Firedancer to work but Hornet Nest might be better.

Still only playing on MTGO too. Meta is a bit all over on there at the moment as far as I can tell with all manner of crazy brews :)
