Isn't...Wait...Didn't...I'm sorry I'm confused here. Your actually questioning whether Burn was viable when we clearly have RDW in the Tier 1 section? I mean yeah it's more creature heavy but the way it works is that it's mostly creatures that will get the damage through...hence Ball Lightning , Hell's Thunder , Hellspark Elemental , and Goblin Guide . I mean RDW even has a good match up against some jund...

What I really don't get is why spikes are playing magic instead of a game that really let's the more skilled players shine. Magic is more expensive and less skill based than most other competitive games.

In my 4C Cascade build, I've thought hard about Path in the sideboard, but I run Terminate and Celestial Purge. For , it's hard to argue with, but considering my first play is usually a T3 Thrinax, I really don't want to be ramping my opponent. However, I know if I run into a Thornling or Darksteel Colossus, I'l be in trouble.

You're running Bant with Sphinx as the primary attacker? That's a rather slow strategy, and unlike the heavy control decks (UR, UWR, UW) you don't have cards like Swerve, Double Negative, and Lightning Bolt to give Jund a hard time until you get out your Exalted +...

yeah, but if you're just bouncing stuff, resounding wave is just plain better. epecially if you're going a creatureless route, like some have. __________________ ^Chibi swan is amazing! check out the Ugly Swan! ego sig me, baby: Spoiler: Quote: Originally Posted by Madding I absolutely Agree with the above poster.
