There are detractors but I feel like Zoo is a legitimate strategy. Naya Zoo is pretty damn good.

Yeah, I'm primarily talking Modern though. Is he worth a damn there?Blood Baron is a pretty good card.White has really great sideboard hate for a lot of popular decks, which is mostly why I want to play with it.
My favorite color combo is RB, so perhaps I should just brew up a Dega deck and turn dudes sideways.

Blood Baron isn't a good card.
Chapin hasn't written anything relevant in years. My fear is he becomes the next Flores.

To be fair, that's about the most skill intensive deck I have ever played as well; when your only realistic win condition is ultimating a planeswalker, its going to be a steep learning curve!Reading PV's articles has really made me want to learn how to play control. I feel like I might really enjoy it, and possibly be good at it. Playing around Zem's legacy U/B definitely feels like a trial by fire, though.

Play what you enjoy and what wins.You and I both seem to have a very conservative play style, Zem, while still having a preference for aggro decks.

I like Naya Zoo because you get to run Knight of the Reliquary. That card is badass.

So messing around with Pauper RUG Ramp:
[deck]
Creatures
4 Imperiosaur
4 Hallowhenge Beast
4 Mulldrifter
4 Ondu Giant
Instants
4 Lightning Bolt
Sorceries
4 Explore
4 Farseek
4 Preordain
2 Rolling Thunder
Lands
4 Gruul Guildgate
4 Izzet Guildgate
4 Simic Guildgate
6 Forest
6 Island
2 Mountain[/deck]
Want to look at a more control oriented version too; RUG plays all the best cards in the format, not close.

Yeah, I should probably step back from that list for a bit until I know what I'm doing. Tube can attest to how terrible that deck can be in the wrong hands.

Best song on the album is Instant Crush. Get on it.I've been stuck on Get Lucky for like, two weeks now.
Pharrel Williams is hot stuff though.

I had him ship a revealed Prime Time or some other non-lethal threat that I had another answer to by the logic that it was stronger than the average card in his deck. Next turn he top decks scapeshift and I have no answer. Now, after reading PV's "Strategy and Tactics," I would never make that mistake.

Looks like I'll get my Remands in for Modern FNM on time, but I'm not sure about my Serum Visions. I'm wary of running UR Delver without them so if I don't get them in I may take it as a sign that I need to troll my LGS...HARD.
