I've always liked permanent-based solutions out of the SB when I play aggro (what else would I play?) against combo like Twin.
I prefer to find 1/2 CMC stuff, then drop it on the turn they're trying to go off. Leaving up mana for removal as an aggro deck in case they have it is very restrictive.
Illness, Spellskite, Torpor Orb, etc. let me drop it and get back to beating down.

I feel your pain. I am trying to explain to this moron in the Legacy Burn thead why we don't want to splash two colors just to deal with a few oddball threats now that Cruise is banned and the old meta with Wasteland everywhere on its way back. I must enjoy pain or something.Be careful what you wish for. I sometimes go to Sally to check up on the Burn thread (cuz I end up talking to the same 3 people here) and always regret it. Like, I'll read a page of posts and just want to kill myself because of the stupidity.I'll probably post both here and Sally(since there are actually people there to talk to affinity about).
And then I come back here and want to kill myself because of the stupidity.

While I am not so sure Team Italia is a good idea anyway, that isn't what he was suggesting. He wanted a burn deck with a few white/blue/black cards to answer Iona, Grislebrand, Emrakul, and Leyline not a value deck that just happens to have some burn spells in it.So team italia is a bad idea? lol

Deathblade (which has nominally been 4 colors) has been a thing inspite of wastelandI meant that the resurgence of Wasteland probably makes 4 colour midrange a bad plan.
If you are refering the mardu deck, I wouldn't count it as 4 colors, the green is there for value (being able to occasionally eat a creature here or there to mitigate lifeloss against an aggressive deck or against a dredge/reanimator strategy is fairly useful when needed), and you can still do what you need to with out green.
Think of it as a swamp that dies to wasteland randomly

Probably because it boosts his other attackers and has 5 toughness.

Standard hobos who play budget garbage should be looked upon with suspicion.

I think in the DTR game, Stormbreath survives more removal with pro white than KOLAGHAN does with Dash, so not sure what's upStormbreath Dragon might just be better, but he's been DTR a lot recently. Kolaghan has been decent enough to warrant further testing.

After thinking for a while about it, I think the best home for monasatery mentor is probably Mardu colors. It plays excellently with thoughtseize and instant speed removal and for CA, there are finally enough incidental pieces to justify tormenting voice.
Mardu also has access to the widest swath of Planeswalkers which also pair well with mentor since sorin's and anthem for all your tokens and Chandra helps push them through combat steps.

You gotta understand, I love the beatdown. I really do. I always have.

The times that she's died have mostly been to things tgat kill SBD anyway.I think in the DTR game, Stormbreath survives more removal with pro white than KOLAGHAN does with Dash, so not sure what's upStormbreath Dragon might just be better, but he's been DTR a lot recently. Kolaghan has been decent enough to warrant further testing.
I like the anthem and bounce effects. I might just be wrong though.
