Thanks for the feedback. After hearing what you said, I'm thinking the Bow and two Relics out of the SB for one more Ouphe and two Pithing Needle? As for the mainboard, it'll be sad to cut the Steel Leaf because of that three devotion and big damage, but them being just a bit too slow is a fact, and swapping the playset for a set of Hexdrinkers seems to be the right choice. I'm then cutting either the two E-Ones for two Barkhides or going up to four E-Ones and cutting the Pelt Collectors for the Barkhides. I'm gonna hold onto Rhonas for the time being, because some decks have a really tough time dealing with it and it's a good late game mana sink if I'm topdecking.
I do like the idea of putting something in the SB to blow up artifacts in addition to the Ouphes, but I'm not too fond of Rec Sage. I'm thinking either two Manglehorns or two Force of Vigors, but I don't know what else I'd take out for them. If I add two of them, I'd feel fine sticking with only two Ouphes instead of three, but that still leaves me with one cut to make, and I don't know what that would be. Any thoughts on that? Maybe one of the Finks? Three Spheres seem important, because otherwise Tron gets to do Tron things easier. Or should I still go up to three Ouphes even with the extra two pieces of artifact hate?
This seems to be the place to get feedback on Stompy decks, so I figured I'd go ahead and post mine. I've been rocking this list for a while, and it's done a good job. I've seen lots of people talking about Hexdrinker over the past few months, and it seems like it has a home in the deck, but I'm having trouble figuring out what to cut. I've seen people cutting Steel Leafs and Pelt Collectors and such, but I'm stuck on what to do for my list. Also, I'm thinking of putting Pithing Needles in the SB to deal with W6, which is otherwise a big problem. Here's my list:
Right now, I'm thinking of cutting the Pelts for the Hexdrinker and cutting a forest and Rhonas for the other two E-Ones, and cutting the extra Scooze and Bow for two Needles in the SB (also cutting two forests for any of the new G Horizon lands, because card draw is sweet). I'm also not sold on E-One being better than Pelts, because E-Ones may be a bit more resilient, but Pelts stomp harder faster and are a much better topdeck later on (not saying they're great, but better than an E-One). I also don't know if I need the three Relics as much with graveyard decks getting hit as hard as they were, but I could use a second opinion on that. I'd appreciate any feedback on my deck and my thoughts on how I should change it up. Thanks.
