pretty relevant in this metagame, considering there is a LOT of white

[Seizurema]

@polkadotedfish

There is 4 Ram-Gangs... Look at the fucking list.

[polkadotedfish]

id like a gang ram please

[nickiscool5656]

this deck looses to boat brew always and 5cc/cruel control decks atleast b4 sideboard in my experience playing with and against it.

[morten123456789]

i have tested it. i run RDW and blightning aggro, and merfolk and mono white kithkin.

in my meta i usually go up against faeries, 5cc, and boat-brew.

and i know from experience that you will win most of the games against faeries.

and no. volcaniv fallout dosnt make it ''unbeatable'' maybe because your opponent playing faeries is bad you get that impression.

cause after getting rid of his creatures he will just get some new ones down. of course at this point he is very close to losing. learn.

[morten123456789]

because faeries is one of the deck's in standard that has the best chance of comming back after taking a beating, it can always get creatures on the field because of bitterblossom.

and mistbind clique completely shatters red deck wins normally.

im not saying that volcanic fallout if played at the right time gives you a huge advantage, but faeries has been on the throne for some time for a reason.

cause it is just so brilliant a deck and has a response to everything almost.

[DrunkKnight]

indeed how the **** can anyone lose to faeries with a RDW.....WITH volcanic fallouts?....volcanic fallout was made to kill blue aaaand faeries especially...

[RKSloth]

Definitely, way too much white. I've also been looking at Zombie Outlander (pro green) for my Grixis version - not quite as cool IMO, but there's still a fair amount of green out there too,

heezy!
