No, you wouldn't maindeck him. But I feel U/B Control is incredibly powerful right now. It just feels like the natural enemy of Wolfrun Ramp and it's more consistent than the Solar Flare; the mirror is the one place where you have to scrimp and grind for that advantage, Reassembling Skeleton might be the card. Who knows, it could just get Dissipated. | ||

I think anytime your opponent opts to burn 3 mana on a 2mana 1/1, you might be getting some value  I hope he does make it into some sideboards, hes a neat card for the current decks floating around. | ||

This deck can be hyper aggressive, but if they have a hand to slow it down it can still have gas for the late game. (tempered steel did a 2x menite, 1x mox opal 2x white spellbomb on the first turn. I was able to regain the board and win it eventually.) I still have some work to do and actually pay attention to the meta game some more. R(G)DW Wolf Run is quirky but it still works well. Anyone have a Koth RDW to try it out against? Solar flare, and Tempered steel do not seem so bad, I had a little struggle versus a Green Titan/Dungrove Elder(first game was tough barely won, second game was cake with the side board). + Show Spoiler [Modified R(G)DW Wolf Run] + Creatures: 20 4x Chandra's Phoenix 4x Stromkirk Noble 4x Stormblood Berserker 2x Hero of Oxid Ridge 4x Goblin Arsonist 2x Grim Lavamancer Spells: 11 3x Gut Shot 4x Brimestone Volley 4x Incinerate Other Spells: 6 3x Garruk Relentless 3x Shrine of Burning Rage Land: 23 2x Forest 10x Mountain 4x Rootbound Crag 4x Copperline Gorge 3x Kessig Wolf Run Sideboard: 15 3x Ancient Grudge 3x Traitorous Blood 3x Arc Trail 2x Tree of Redemption 3x Vulshok Refugee 1x Beast Within | ||

and with the meta turning towards control, use furnace scamps instead of arsonists. also cut the gut shots. i would do this if you really insist on running green -1 garruk -3 gut shot -1 incinerate -2 goblin arsonist +4 furnace scamp +1 shrine +2 geistflame also i would cut the forests for more mountains | ||

Garruk is getting way more play that lilliana and will definitely go up more. He's already at 22 versus lily's 30. | ||

Edit: I played against this deck at States and the card that actually hosed me was Lily, because she actually locked me out completely. | ||
