Fact, Judges familiar>Thalia is unbeatable for some decks. Add an exalted sub-theme and you have a deck. I like Fiend hunter as removal. How else are you gonna beat a boros reckoner?
You gotta understand, I love the beatdown. I really do. I always have.

Beatdown is hard, though.

Everything true. I just threw the deck out from my head. Added suggested changes.

Oh yeah, I just threw I different version out there. It's like aristocrats act 2 vs. act 3. Same deck core, change a color and you go from grindy to comboey, while still being a board control deck. In this case, you go from being better versus control to being more able to win random games you have right to be winning(cause you play Geist).

I'm going back to UB Tempo (maybe UBw). Key gains:
- Far / Away
- Notion Thief
- Sin Collector

Reanimator was never a great matchup and it's less prevalent now; Aggro and midrange were good and they're everywhere.

Sin Collector is a nice reason to go white. Of course if you go white you pretty much have to run Restoration Angel, which makes Notion Theif and Sin Collector even nastier.

Does Notion Thief trigger for every card that would have been drawn, or just every draw opportunity? If the former, that's pretty killer stuff.

The former. Basically forces them to cast Revelation for one at the end of your turn.

Actually, even that's wrong. They can only draw a card during their draw phase. At any other time, you draw the cards.

Decided to go giants for another draft. I have 6 blind-spot giants. Kind of sweet I guess.

I thought you guys would enjoy another Vexing Devil thread
Eric, Ren and Jensen were activists
Heads loaded with theory, their hearts are filled with passion
Shared the same left wing politics
Liked the same music, they were part of the protest movement
Now, Anna presented herself as a feminist
Studied the way they talked and dressed
Fashioned herself an anarchist
Eric fell in love with Anna at the meeting of the crime think conference
He didn't know it but Anna was an FBI informant

Joining the brothers in sending positive vibes and prayers your way, man.

The kids and I are taking off before dawn to hit Doorly Zoo in Omaha and hang out in the city for a couple of days to take in museums and fairs and such. I seem to remember someone in FoS being up that way...if so, give a shout!

Maybe more of a post rotation thing, but UR Tempo built around:
- Goblin Electromancer
- Young Pyromancer
- Guttersnipe

Maybe Nivix Cyclops?

Rest of the deck is burn, draw etc, maybe a sneaky Weapon Surge.

Remember, it's going to be a very different world post INN and post M13; all the aggro hate leaves.

I'm not from Omaha, but I had a girlfriend from there when I was in college in St. Louis and our outsourced customer service is in the part of Iowa that requires flying in to Omaha. It's a great little city, and the Zoo is pretty nice. Have fun!

Works both ways, many of the best aggro cards ever printed will be leaving, too. (Thundermaw Hellkite, Stonewright, Pyreheart Wolf, Stromkirk Noble...)
