Congrats on your win! How does GB feel in this meta? Also, what are your thoughts on running 4 Hexdrinker and maybe cutting some Tireless Tracker (kind of the way I wanted to try the deck)?
I heard someone mention Memory Sluice to replace Faithless Looting. What do you guys think? Keeps us in black without trying to find a new blue card. Plus it has conspire.
Hi all! I've been out the loop on this deck for a few months now but am thinking about coming back. I wanted to ask -- how helpful has Blast Zone been?
Just curious, why no Talara's Battalion in Stompy? 4/3 trampler seems great and we will most likely be playing at least 1 low-cost green spell per turn to ensure it can come out. Couldnt find much about this one.
Also, what about Garruk's Companion? Is the 2 toughness really that much different than the 3 in Kalonian Tusker? Trample feels big for just the trade off of 1 toughness. What am I missing?
Went 3-1 with RB Hollow One last week and then went 2-2 with the deck last night. Last night I had some misplays but probably the worst was keeping a hand with Flameblade Adept, x2 Hollow Ones, Burning Inquiry, x2 Street Wraith, and Faithless Looting... and no lands. I was on the play so thought I might be able to draw a land with 3 draws (regular draw step + 2 cycling from Wraith). I didn't draw a land until turn 3 though and by then my opponent already had their board so established I couldn't come back. If you guys were put in the same position (no lands but two cyclers and on the draw), would you have kept the same hand? I know the deck can be risky but I feel like I might have went a little overboard on that one.
Two cards I have been toying around with are Bloodrage Brawler and Pale Rider of Trostad. Although we don't auto-lose to graveyard hate, it still really hurts and I was trying to find ways around that. I have been thinking Delve creatures in game 1 and then side them out game 2 for one of these in anticipation for graveyard hate. What do you guys think?
This deck seems so awesome! I already play DS and a lot of those lands can be used in Rakdos Hollow One if I go by jdmflcl's list. Rest of the deck is semi-cheap with Gurmags, Flamewake Phoenix, Hollow One, and Flameblade Adepts. Luckily I already had the Burning Inquiries and Goblin Lores.

Also, at what point would we play Hardened Scales now? Most of our stuff is getting counters it seems like.
What would you say are the pros vs. cons of this deck vs regular GB Rock though? Never seen Rockdrazi but seems interesting.
