I dig this list. I think I'm going to run a revised version for MNP (Monday Night Pauper) that has the Myr Enforcers replaced with Explore. Having back-to-back-to-back turns with those tapped lands really hurt you long turn so I think the ramp package could help alleviate some of those issues.
I'd be worried you wouldn't have enough threats, and the blood fountains wouldn't have enough targets, but you should definitely give it a shot! Would love to know how it works out
@@StrataGames Okay this is my thought process (feel free to ignore): Out: Myr Enforcer | In: Explore Out: Reckoner's Bargain | In: Fanatical Offering Stuff to figure out how to bring in: Relic's Roar, Behind the Mask, Shambling Ghast, Toxin Analysis. Shambling Ghast and Toxin Analysis both make artifacts that can be targeted by RR and BtM. They're also only 1-mana instead of 2 (Unexpected Fangs and Cast Down). I don't like removing Cast Down from the main, but I don't think this deck needs to be tempo I think this deck needs to be aggro. So maybe Snakeskin Veil instead of Metallic Rebuke?
@@eric.ingramounds like you're shifting heavily from a midrange deck to an aggro deck, which is fine if you can pull it off, but I don't think you could adequately compete with the aggro decks that exist like WW or Mono R (especially if you cut all the lifegain from Fangs and Bargain) RR and BtM are essentially just combat tricks or burn spells, so feels like you'd want red for Galvanics to do a better job of that. Veil is fine, but doesn't protect great against Dust to Dust, Cast into the Fire, or Gorilla Shaman, like Rebuke can. I encourage you to give it a try, because maybe it will work, but it sounds like a lot of downgrades in my opinion.
@ for sure! But as you said this isn’t Grixis affinity and it probably won’t be as good as monored/white. I just really like the build and I think it looks like an absolute blast to pilot. I’ll run it through a league and let you know though!
Today, we're not burning bridges, we're reinforcing them with a vibranium alloy and granting them sentience. It's fun to play god!
Now thats original, I like it! Ive been experimenting with ephemerate and ghostly flicker on kenku, but this is a lot faster!
Nice! Yeah, I've also been trying to make the flicker Kenku work, but it is quite expensive

@@StrataGames I don't disagree with you there! haha Will do.

I've been thinking about a BUG affinity list for a while. I had wanted to put Colossal Dreadmask as the top end threat but it was too slow
Yeah, I know it's seen some decent play in Gruul monsters, but is really expensive for affinity
That is a cookies deck isn’t it 🎉
Um... Yes?
