Dies to Removal

The appeal of RUG seems to be tied up in being able to play counterspells postboard. Like, having a big dude on board and a defiant stroke in hand is pretty effing good.

I've (briefly) tested a gr version of this to middling results, but it was like five games.

Replace knuckles with fanatic of xenagos, adding two Boon satyrs, and plaswts of all the creatures.

I had different results. For one, having multiple usually generates a large chunk of damage plus either a mana even our positive exchange.

That and turn two rabble is a beating. I've yet to fully explore him in this shell though. I can actually see fall of the hammer or setessan tactics being great, especially with heir of the wild. Tactics is a bigger blowout, but hammer can be used with an attacking rabblemaster.

I also like craters claws over magma jet.

Charm is basically the worst possible card when you're behind.
