My reasoning for Craterhoof is that he's actually a much much larger hit than Flamekin/bc you only need 3 other creatures to make him close to Lethal. And with how many creatures have haste in the deck its kind of crazy.
Someone suggested to me last night to stick in Chalice of Life as a back-up plan.
Its a nice idea, but if you're playing correctly, you're at a lower life total constantly due to just fogging away.
The Sideboard could use Sphynx's Revelations as a 4 of or 1 in main to just regain tempo and break lock decks. Liliana of the Veil is a massive breaker to the deck, so I need to figure a way around her. Possibly Pithing needle?
Tested last night, and ramped the Amass the components to 4 and the Urban's to 4. Amass was essential just to keep ahead of B/R/W control decks, but it demolished them if they could not stick a Liliana of the Veil.
Going to test out with one Tamiyo, the Moon Sage and one Gideon. The deck just turns out to break decks that are creature reliant without red or black for discard or live prevention.
Staff of Nin is nice but it is a bit slow, your deck might need some more draw power. Ground Seal looks nice, can a judge clarify if it affects flashback spells at all? .
It does not shut off flashback, but it shuts off the greatest enabler of flashback, Snapcaster Mage, as well as completely breaking Reanimator. Its not as breaking as Grafdiggers cage, but its a complete cantrip itself.
Edited the deck to add in plains and fix the card to urban evolution not urban burgeouning.
So this happened a while back but was still awesome.
Was I playing Eron The Relentless, opponents were 2 other generals I can't remeber and Rafique the voltron GG runner.

How about a General that makes land ramp seem like a bad idea.
The deck in our 4 man pods, if not beaten down hastily will consistently place 1st or 2nd due most in part for the final blow being a kicked Rite of Replication which will hit Vesuvan Doppelganger for a next turn all out copy fest. Best shot so far has had River Kelpie in play with 1 or more clones of him as well when a wrath hits.
I'm more looking for political cards to manuver with and not seem overall threatening.

Rafiq plays Sovereigns of Lost Alara" target="blank">Sovereigns of Lost Alara as his only creature and passes turn.
I have 1 card in hand.
On my turn, I cast Threaten, take the Sovereign's of lost Alara and attack Rafiq with them, tutoring up the only Aura card in my Deck Brand of Ill Omen.
After attack, I cast Ensnaring bridge, as the table falls over laughing.

Doesn't this prevent everything that happened due to abilities triggering, like I titan, Warstorm surge, and Sun Titan?
Was playing a 3 player of Dakkon Blackblade vs. Omnath vs. Eron The Relentless (me).
Its Dakkon's turn 5. Dakkon casts Demonic Tutor, I Reverberate it, he thinks and then taps out for Undermine on the Reverberate, I cast Ricochet Trap causing him to Undermine his own Demonic Tutor.
Omnath just sat back and laughed.
Double post merged. -viper
