If you could also check my deck proposal (viewtopic.php?p=579083#p579083) and suggest anything, I'd be grateful ;]

Scourge Wolf is the substitute, and it's pretty great. It's cheap, survivable (First Strike), and gets Double Strike during Red Delirium; in my mind it's Iroas's Champion without the Berserker downside, for half the cost, that sometimes it only hits once. I seem to hit Red Delirium decently often.

Reckless Bushwhacker is there for the mass haste and +1/+0 upon summon. That allows your other newly summoned creatures to attack immediately, helping you to speed up the deck. Scourge Wolf is nice when its effect triggers but the absolute gain is likely to be less than Reckless Bushwhacker.

Each PW's stats should be put somewhere else (Like octal's beta page), and we should have a clean Deck forum for only discussion.

I'm a big fan of coming up with great deck ideas and interesting synergies, and I really feel like this game could use a stronger deckbuilding and theorycraft community. Some ideas: 1. Reclaim in kiora, and her unobvious god-combo. 2. Ob Nox decks and how to build them (ranking kill spells and utility spells). 3. The same treatment of Koth QB that Nahiri got here (I'm not a huge fan of Koth's inconsistency without Fevered Visions, so I don't play him that much) 4.

I have some good big beaters and DtG (no Olivia though, missed out on that). Current Deck: Creatures: Gisela Decimator Avaracious Dragon Kozilek Spells: Inner Struggle Magmatic Insight Deploy the Gatewatch Supports: Mirrorpool Corrupted Grafstone Harness the Storm
