Platypus, I playtested this deck on MTGO last night with great results.

[deck]Creatures (32)
4 Stromkirk Noble
4 Rakdos Cackler
2 Stonewright
4 Ash Zealot
4 Flinthoof Boar
4 Burning-Tree Emissary
4 Lightning Mauler
4 Fervent Cathar
2 Ghor-Clan Rampager

Spells (8)
4 Searing Spear
4 Rancor

Lands (20)
4 Stomping Ground
4 Rootbound Crag
12 Mountain

Sideboard (15)
3 Boros Reckoner
3 Pillar of Flame
2 Ground Seal
2 Traitorous Blood
3 Volcanic Strength
2 Frostburn Weird[/deck]

I feel like I want another green source so I might shove a Temple Garden in and take out a Mountain. I'm also unsure about Stonewright currently. He seems like a better sideboard card. I may test Legion Loyalist instead. I also need to work on the sideboard. I usually
only want the Pillars to kill dorks so those may come out for Electrickery. I also don't like Traitorous Blood here. Those two may become my Stonewrights.

I've tested Fervent Cathar before in the All-in Red list and really like him. He's resistant to Azorius Charm and doesn't care that your opponent slammed a Loxodon Smiter last turn. Speaking of Loxodon Smiter, I've found this deck has little use for Mizzium Mortars in the side since we're playing Rancor and Ghor-Clan Rampager. The ability of this deck to just smash through fatties is very refreshing.

Uh oh...time to break out the air drums. You know, since my son doesn't let me play on the real drums because "that's just weird..."

If he really has been playing 17 years; he may have a learning disability. That's unfortunate.

You own a drumset? What's your set up?

Or drums in
general, I should say. Drumset sounds a bit assumptive, because it is.

I think my next suspension is a banning, so I'm happy to die the way I lived.

Good times.

Maybe, maybe not. iridium doesn't follow their own rules. I'd only ever been suspended once before and they flat-out banned me for telling them that they don't know how to run a community, so you never really know with them.

Thanks for this! I wish I had the Fervent Cathars right now to test them, I think there's a definitie potential there. Nobody expects them and so on. But I have only one at the moment, have to rummage through the commons dump box at the local pre-release in case
there's some of them lying around. I must say I'd like the full amount of GCRs, the card is so solid.

Yep. Regrettably it doesn't get near enough use since my son took the turn towards mallet percussion in high school...there just are not enough hours in the day.

The core is a cool little Tama Stagestar 5-piece
set (birch jazz kit--13/10/12/14/18) fitted with Evans heads. The aluminum snare that came with the set is actually a pretty sweet drum, but he currently has a 14" Mapex Meridian in its place, as well as a Pearl 10" popcorn. Cymbals he has up at present are Sabian AAX 14" Studio Hats, 13" AA Regular Hats as an X-Hat, AA Raw Bell Dry Ride, El Sabor Ride, El Sabor 16" & 18" Crashes, El Sabor 13" Salsa Splash, AAX 10" splash and HHX Evolution 14" Mini China. The lone Zildjian in the bunch is a K 17" China Boy. Every bit of it was purchased 2nd-hand...you can catch remarkable cymbal deals on ebay when people are looking to try something new.

As I said, though, the boy isn't even taking set lessons right now because of focusing all his time on mallets (BAND IS LIFE). The drums that get the most work in the house are an old (not high-tension) marching snare and his concert snare--Pearl Free-Floating hardware on a Rhythm King custom segment shell. I'm
actually debating about selling the stuff off in order to buy him a full-size marimba since that's what he needs (he has a 3-octave student marimba right now that just doesn't do the job anymore). He of course goes into a tizzy every time I suggest this, but money is becoming a regrettable factor since his mom isn't make her child support payments.

Jeez, the clan has been productive recently!
@Kaze and EDH: Hmm, if you don't like Niv, but want an R/U general, consider jhoira of the ghitu, grixis legends--Sedris, the traitor king, Thraximundar, adding green--Intet, the dreamer, Maelstrom Wanderer or wait until you can get that Melek Izzet guy, he seems fun to build around.

Once you have a general, throw a few things in that seem to work well with them, then throw in your favorite/the strongest cards you can get in your colors. Remember things move a bit slower in multiplayer, so higher cc is usually fairly OK--not so much in 1v1. About 70% of a
multiplayer game will come down to politics, so go ahead and put a few broke things in. Groups are all a bit different, but, ideally you want one that is OK with powerful plays rather than one that just wants time for 8 card combos and craw wurm for the win. However, lots of LD seems to be frowned upon almost universally. I think it's pretty fun, in small doses. But, if slow-ish games bother you, you may not like the pace.

Alex making friends!

I appreciate the response. Jhoria of the Ghitu looks pretty cool. My fiancee has had decks that ran Maelstrom Wanderer and I fucking hate that thing. How much of my hatred is dislike for the card and how much is dislike from playing against it is unknown to myself.

And I love slow, drawn-out games. That's what got me into MTG in the first place.

I'm very friendly. After all, I was a Disney prince!
