I think the finks were sided in enough to warrant maindeck inclusion. even in matches where he didnt say he sided them in he describes using them. also, he said he needs more threats, and those little buggers drive me crazy.

Good article. The only thing better would be a podcast about it.

In my post up there, the word “art” should be “apt.” Then it makes a little more sense.

Similarly, yes, the final list was all kinds of incorrect. It seems, however, that now the only correction left to be made is the 2 Hallowed Burial should be 2 Vendillion Clique in the maindeck, and the sideboard should have -1 Pithing Needle, -2 Celestial Purge, -2 Essence Scatter and +2 Hallowed Burial, +3 Path.

It appears I wanted to save people from having to decode the final list, while I myself didn’t seem to want to decode it either. All jokes aside, I apologize for the confusion, and I promise to be more vigilant next time.

Intimidation Bolts seem interesting, but are they better than a 4th Ajani Vengent most of the time? Granted it’s one mana cheaper, and can stop a horde of creatures attacking for one turn; but Ajani can kill the same creatures, gain you a little life, buy you some extra time (or cards if your lucky) while your opponent kills him, and can win the game on his own which Bolt can’t do.

“Maybe working the word Bane in the title would have been more suitable.”

So why not Bangelfire?

It makes your jund aggro matchup a little better, so would firespouts.

Yeah, really the reason AngelFire seemed so art was because of the obvious inclusions of Banefire and Baneslayer Angel. Maybe working the word Bane in the title would have been more suitable.

Either way, yes, the version Sal played had Intimidation Bolts, which I still love. They’re like Cryptic Command Lite. I think they were working well for Sal, but I’ve just neglected to test with them online.
