Quote from Wesste »Looks a strong list, although I’m still not convinced with Warchief. However, someone recorded a good result with a list not to dissimilar to yours.... https://www.mtgtop8.com/event?e=22261&f=MO
I agree about Warchief. I’ve honestly never been too high on him. If I’m making my creatures cheaper, I don’t want to wait ‘til turn 3 to do it. Frogtosser is a much better value. And as far as the Haste that Warchief provides, I’d rather get that from Goblin Chieftain and get the +1/+1 pump as well.
I just think there’s better things we can be doing at 3cmc than Warchief. Mad Auntie is one example. As I mentioned before, I think she’s one of our best lords. That Regenerate is no bull****, especially now that we’re playing better, higher costed Gobbos that are less disposable and worth protecting. That can make things really awkward for the opponent. The casting cost is super easy too and has the possibility of costing only with two Frogtossers out. That may seem like a small bonus, but it’s huge when it does happen.
Edit: Also, speaking of 3cmc cards I don’t think are worth it, why are some people still playing Boggart Harbinger? That card has just always been a poor excuse for a Matron. Surely we could do better things with those slots??

Yes¡ I've been testing this list two weeks and I'm totally sure that 3 Images is good. Indeed, I've playing the deck with 2 Phantasmal Image and 1 Militia Bugler, and still strong. Maybe the problem is 3 Reflector Mage. Too important in the deck, but I wanted to test 1 Tajic, Legion's Edge against Dredge and Burn (instead of 4 Reflector Mage).
I've got 3 questions:
1. What about Thalia, Heretic Cathar Maybe could be fine in our SB against Phoenix. I'm gonna test it, but still think in good events I would play Rest in peace.
2. What do you think about Whirler Rogue? Never played this card. Is it good? When?
3. Sideboard Guide against God Tier/Tier 1 Decks?
Thank you guys¡¡¡

Answering to BartHenryksson, just won a local tournament yesterday. Only played two Auriok on my SB, but I really recommended 3 copies (I consider 4 too much). Its really really good against Grixis Shadow and freewin against Burn, also good against Dredge and Jund. No doubt Auriok is one of the best cards right now after the ban of KCI on the SB, and also Knight of Atumumn (in love with this card).
