Feb 4, 2014LordGrimpow posted a message on Launch Giveaway!My favorite card has got to be Norin the Wary. He's just so much fun to watch my opponents not realize the implications in a Purphoros EDH deck until he's doing 2 damage per person to EACH person every turn. That and combine with Pandemonium is just sweet.Posted in: Announcements

For those that play a token build. This one also pumps the tokens and gives them lifelink.
I've got a few cards in my list that I'd be okay with replacing.
https://deckbox.org/sets/1206682
I'd see +3 protection, +3 pump, -4 Probe, -2 Immense. Probe was basically protection as it gave them insight into whether the coast was clear. And without a 0 cost spell, Immense becomes slightly slower.
As for Lantern, last month's metagame % was just 1% shy of Tier 1

The fewer cards we're encouraged to hold in our hand the better.
In the case of a fetchland, the top card is fetched and is no longer the top card. Therefore before shuffling, you must reveal the next card. This can matter because it could be a card your opponent would need be concerned about.
If you're looking for a list that can compete in an aggressive meta, maybe try this. It's been pretty effective for me in testing.
On another note, 4th Pithing Needle. Yes or no? I want to say yes, I'm just not sure where to slot it in the sideboard.
And for the same reasons that KTROJAN stated, I prefer Witchbane Orb over Leyline. Leyline is great if we can get it in our opener, but I'm not going to mulligan just to have it destroyed. And Witchbane Orb is much easier to cast and find later. Especially since I'm running 4 Stirrings/3 Crane. I just don't feel like the chance of having it in the opener is enough to justify the WW cost unless you're running white over blue or red.
This is my list:
3 Glint-Nest Crane
1 Spellskite
Instants
2 Abrupt Decay
2 Surgical Extraction
Sorceries
4 Ancient Stirrings
2 Collective Brutality
3 Inquisition of Kozilek
2 Thoughtseize
Artifacts
4 Codex Shredder
4 Ensnaring Bridge
3 Ghoulcaller's Bell
4 Lantern of Insight
4 Mox Opal
3 Pithing Needle
1 Pyxis of Pandemonium
2 Academy Ruins
3 Blooming Marsh
2 Botanical Sanctum
2 Darkslick Shores
2 Ghost Quarter
4 Glimmervoid
2 Inventors' Fair
1 Swamp
2 Spellskite
1 Abrupt Decay
1 Nature's Claim
2 Surgical Extraction
1 Collective Brutality
1 Thoughtseize
2 Grafdigger's Cage
2 Sun Droplet
2 Welding Jar
1 Witchbane Orb
