GHC's should be easy to find. Flunkies isn't a good replacement. Gotta say, those shouldn't be too bad. Course, I had to make like 6 phone calls to get ahold of Maulers.

Re: Brimstone Volley- this card is good. I dare say it is "core" potential for an all-in build, since your loyalists et. all are going to die to SOMETHING and making them be terrified of an extra 5 damage burst is huge. Re: Reckoner- I definitely wouldn't run the full 4 MB. He is way too ...

I suspect it would be the other way around. After the Fires roll through town, normal men just won't seem as exciting. Maybe it's for the best that we aren't going to be concentrated. That's us. Ruinin' men for miles around. It's all because of redthirst and his massive crank. Plus our overall supe...

I didn't realize they were hard to come by? Unfortunately, they are in my area. And I need them on a short notice, elsewise I'd just buy them. One store has 3, and the store I'm going to FNM at has 1, so it worked out. Part of the issue is that I don't have time to go through the big common/uncommo...

We need to start developing a SB for All-in, does Weird have a place there, or is Reckoner a better weapon? (Basing that on the Reckoner is too slow for MB argument)

If you don't find Loyalist to be especially useful, try out Foundry Street Denizen - if you're looking to kill the opponent by turn 4, it's basically a 2.5/1 for :symr:. I'm going to try running him over cackler, legion loyalist seems like he's another important card for the deck. I wouldn't feel c...

Having actually played with Legion Loyalist, I'd cut it down to 3. I was pretty content with 2, though he was basically serving the function of Pyreheart Wolf. Since you don't have her in here, 4 might actually work. I'm just not convinced that you want to draw multiples.

I guess there's always EDH. I really want to play hybrids in my mono red, but I don't think people would like that.

Yes, I play excessively sub-optimal EDH lists. We also play 1v1 almost exclusively, so it has never been a huge problem. Anyone else here frequently play EDH?
