Oh, I'm not saying you should cube with it. It just is that is the most mild condition attached to black 2cc removal at common. To get unconditional kill effects you have to go up to 3cc, or be willing to pay {B}{B}. White is way better 100% of the time, as you get journey to nowhere...

That card is insane at common

Thats really smart running the tribute guys alongside the outlast cards that give bonuses for +1 +1 counters: it actually makes tribute much more interesting. It seems like you have an easy midrangy G/W punisher type deck, and you could even layer that with some heroic creatures. Those outlast...

You also have threatens, protection effects, and evasion granters. I don't think its bad that champion or noble can be largely undone by opposing bounce spells. A control or midrange player would otherwise be using an actual removal spell in that spot, which is much worse for the aggro player...

Well, the problem with zombie cutthroat is that you can run it any deck, and as a surprise 3 mana 3/4 it will just kill most of the cards that it runs into, which isn't fun for all of the reasons Laz provided above. For unfair ramp, namely cards that have already been alluded to: sol ring and...

I would run bouncelands over the janky or unfair ramp cards. If someone is going to cheat on morph costs, at least let them pay a price for it. Would like some aggro strategies to take advantage of the durdle. Not sure what the best fit is. Also, zombie cutthroat is a colorless card, and...

I really like the flavor of the original card; and honestly, i.m.o its probably fine as is. There are a lot of really sweet interactions with it, and if its just a question of making it look more spicy to attract drafters, you might be able to do it with a simple keyword ability: shroud, flying...

The card that most makes me want to draft BUG is: lim-dul's vault Being able to tutor for a key combo piece before self-milling begins, and rig your next draws for self-mill is really powerful. You can setup normal reanimation, mass reanimation, and add consistancy to self-mill effects...

Thats a reasonable position. Sort of a young wolf which is just good enough to make it into higher power lists? How would you feel about a slightly more impactful body. Say, Doomed Savannah Lion {W} creature - Cat 2/1 When doomed savannah lion dies put a 1/1 white flying spirit token into...

Its not bad, but when you go from playing it in pauper lists and than playing it in something higher power, its hard to shake that feeling like you are playing with half a card.

Yeah, thats pretty much the compromise you make: giving up instant speed or flying in order to have the tokens read human. If you have the anthems or cards that benefit from death triggers it can be a pretty reasonable compromise as gather becomes much less narrow. What I have liked about it...

assault strobe and armed // dangerous. I've also ran silverblade paladin, which is essentially a sorcery speed double strike effect, though in another color and much more powerful.

How has the UB pox deck worked out? I've tried the UW humans deck before, mixing delver with champion. I didn't have much success with it, because the two decks are kind of at opposite extremes: champion wants lots of humans to trigger it, while delver wants a more spell based deck (or more...

Heres a few, perhaps, that might wheel for control? Magma burst illuminate

Here and here are a few sweet U/W heroic matchs. Game 2 in video 1 (starts at 20:15) and game 3 in video 2 (starts at 26:24) are very intricate, with a lot of tight play. Way more interesting than just curving out with red dudes i.m.o.

This is a good first step, and I think you will learn a lot, though your games might suffer somewhat in the process. The ultimately problem that aggro has i.m.o is that its usually designed in a way which makes it much less interesting than midrange or control. The latter two deck types have a...

In the comments (not written by me):

I think at your power level the answer is really nothing. Ninjutsu and prowess are the two mechanics that most reward blue for getting in, and to get any real playable density of those cards you have to be pretty low power. Shu Yun, the silent tempest looks like he could make the cut though...

I think you're on point with the # of pyroclasm effects. The only things I would add would be that you could consider some of them that don't hit flyers, as that can push people in interesting deck building directions, or focus more on cards that scale a bit better with mana such as rolling...

As for red removal: Lightning Axe Really great madness outlet. Aggro can run this, but it looks better in midrange/control.
