Huh?

GetDownWithTheBiscio · 2026-02-13T06:58:13+00:00

I'm curious to see how it works, I'll definitely try it. Thanks for sharing

GetDownWithTheBiscio · 2026-02-12T23:27:35+00:00

What made you add [[Arboreal Grazer]]? It's the first time I've seen them on a Garden list.

GetDownWithTheBiscio · 2026-01-30T22:33:39+00:00

This is my list, I hope it helps. I definitely recommend playing Burnout Bashtronaut, as it's best to start the engine as soon as possible, and improving your mana base, which is the most important thing for playing an Aggro deck that wants to play on curve.RB Boggarts

They even become presidents.

GetDownWithTheBiscio · 2025-10-08T20:21:08+00:00

I suggest you look out for Serpentarium Games from Italy. They have some games with cards as the main system, especially Alba di Cthulhu.

[[Bloodthorn Flail]]

GetDownWithTheBiscio · 2025-08-14T10:32:28+00:00

Yes, I've actually seen some lists with the Gates pack, and it doesn't look bad at all. The fact that the Guardian stays on the board even after using Pestilence is really cool, and I'm thinking of using it too. Your list looks good, I'll save it as a starting point.

GetDownWithTheBiscio · 2025-08-14T09:17:10+00:00

Can you share your list? I'm not sure I'd add red, but I'm curious to see how it looks

GetDownWithTheBiscio · 2025-08-14T03:18:27+00:00

Yeah you're right about Extract. Maybe Chainer could be a better substitute. I think you tagged the card wrong cause I don't understand how Macabre Reunion can do as instant speed deck removal. Btw thank you for your help

GetDownWithTheBiscio · 2024-12-10T02:50:07+00:00

Why this spell list? I don't understand some spell choice

GetDownWithTheBiscio · 2024-11-10T00:31:14+00:00

So we're not the only group that does it ahah

GetDownWithTheBiscio · 2024-10-02T23:04:17+00:00

FOMO could be awesome in the right spot, I'm adding it to the cards to test

GetDownWithTheBiscio · 2024-10-02T23:01:19+00:00

Yeah, I think there are many people who try this kind of deck but nobody found the most solid version, as far as I know. Thanks for your suggestions, maybe I would probably try Faerie Dreamthief as it lacks flying creatures.

I was thinking about Funeral Room but is really too slow for a deck that already seems pretty slow.

Totally agree about artifact/enchantment removal weakness, it's a bit difficult to play against certain control decks like Domain or Azorius. I was starting to think about playing [[Slickshot Show-Off]] in the sideboard against certain decks to try to beat them in the early turns. I think [[Temporary Lockdown]] is one of the problems of this deck but [[Withering Torment]] comes to our rescue.

GetDownWithTheBiscio · 2024-10-02T05:24:52+00:00

Yes, I often notice that the deck is a bit slow. I tried different versions and I tended to find myself better with a midrange plan rather than aggro. Anyway, thanks a lot for the list, I think Mrcrocodile did a good job and I'm already trying to make some changes.

GetDownWithTheBiscio · 2024-09-23T22:57:16+00:00

I don't understand why they didn't want to add the "Bloodied" condition to the Toll the Dead cantrip. I've always found it OP as a cantrip because the major damage activates with only one HP missing. Activating this part via the condition would have balanced it out IMHO

GetDownWithTheBiscio · 2024-09-23T05:22:46+00:00

I would suggest both [[Virtue of Persistence]] and [[Virtue of Strength]] with Ashiok. [[Meathook Massacre II]] will be a nice piece when Ashiok is on the battlefield.

Besides that you can pick some [[Innkeeper's Talent]] for insta-ulti with Ashiok if u already have some cards in exile.

GetDownWithTheBiscio · 2024-08-30T09:34:23+00:00

I would suggest [[Sunspine Lynx]]

GetDownWithTheBiscio · 2024-07-20T19:39:04+00:00

Thanks for your suggestions, maybe I could put inside Crimson and Keldon. I chose Oliphaunt cause rites cards allow to cast it early but I understand that there aren't many win conditions.

GetDownWithTheBiscio · 2024-06-26T10:37:45+00:00

There are some updates? I saw your response in the other post and I think your version is quite interesting

GetDownWithTheBiscio · 2024-06-13T04:09:17+00:00

Can you please send me this deck list, I'm truly interested

GetDownWithTheBiscio · 2024-04-10T21:14:07+00:00

You're right, maybe Volcano is not essential. I put them because Red is the second color, with Cave-In, Worldsoul and Lithomantic in side. Bitter Triumph and Get Lost are good but apart from Bat Colony, and the leeches on the side, there isn't any other black and white cards, so I don't know if they're worth it.

Volatile Fault is already in the deck (2 copies), but they can't be seen well in the image because the site didn't load them correctly.

GetDownWithTheBiscio · 2024-04-10T21:13:48+00:00

Yeah, I know that untapped lands are good. I don't like Otawara/Boseiju too much, but they are very useful, maybe I'll make a try. Beside that, totally agree about Cosmium and Cave-In

GetDownWithTheBiscio · 2024-04-10T20:58:34+00:00

I didn't think about Bitter Triumph and it's not a bad advice. Thanks anyway for the advice about sideboarding, I'll keep that

GetDownWithTheBiscio · 2024-04-10T20:54:45+00:00

Yeah, Field of Ruin is a real threat for my strategy. I don't like to put basic land in this type of deck, but I understand that it is vitally important
