.Rai Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Because getting out a Dragonlord Atarka with lifelink is by far the most impactful thing you can do in the entire format.4 Dragonlord Atarka4 Courser of Kruphix4 Satyr Wayfinder4 Sylvan Caryatid3 Whisperwood Elemental3 Elvish Mystic2 Tasigur, the Golden Fang2 Sidisi, Undead Vizier1 Reclamation Sage1 Den Protector2 Whip of Erebos2 Outpost Siege2 Murderous Cut2 Roast1 Hero's Downfall4 Wooded Foothills4 Temple of Abandon3 Temple of Malady2 Bloodstained Mire2 Llanowar Wastes1 Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth4 Forest2 Swamp1 Mountain3 Thoughtseize3 Drown in Sorrow2 Bile Blight2 Rending Volley1 Display of Dominance1 Kolaghan's Command1 Reclamation Sage1 Crux of Fate1 Xenagos, the Reveler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodrigo Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Is there a reliable way to discard/mill Atarka in Standard? Wayfinder doesn't seem enough to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Rai Posted March 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Depends how all-out you want to go. The deck could feasibly run Tormenting Voice or Commune with the Gods if you want to be more consistent, which is absolutely fine as a build. Much more vulnerable to Thoughtseize and everything though.The addition of 3 Elvish Mystic are to give the deck a ramp plan in mind. 7 mana is perfectly feasible in this format, and hardcasting Atarka (and being able to run value 5-drops like Whisperwood) are probably the stronger plan than just comboing out Atarka. Frankly, Atarka is probably one of the strongest 7-drops we've got in years. It's Bogardan Hellkite (which is already good) but cheaper and absolutely humungous. And it's the anti-Hornet Queen too.If you wanted a Whippier version, I'd probably go 3/1 split on Whip/Siege, get rid of Mystics and Whisperwoods for some split of Tormenting Voice, Commune with the Gods and Thoughtseize.
