Deck Tech: ZZ-Top

By Wagz

Hi all, Alara Reborn has finally given me some cards to make my janky Hierarch deck complete but I need help with the sideboard. Presenting:

Ziggurat Zoo - The Overextension Plan

4 Noble Hierarch
4 Birds of Paradise
4 Gaddock Teeg
4 Qasali Pridemage
4 Dauntless Escort
4 Rhox War Monk
4 Woolly Thoctar
3 Behemoth Sledge
4 Bloodbraid Elf
3 Murderous Redcap

1 Seaside Citadel
3 Jungle Shrine
2 Treetop Village
1 Plains
2 Forest
2 Karplusan Forest
1 Yavimaya Coast
3 Brushland
4 Reflecting Pool
4 Ancient Ziggurat

Seems like the best use of a Bloodbraid Elf to me :D

  2. In the sideboard at the moment. Maybe stick in place of the Redcaps? I like the Redcaps though, I don't have any removal main. Currently the board is 4 Lieges, 4 Paths, 4 Hellions and 3 Pithing Needles.

  3. i would definately play wilt leaf liege in the main. I know im rattling cages saying this but is quasali pridemage that great in this deck. I dont think he's really super relevent standard, and this deck is more concerned with making a 2nd turn 3 drop.

  4. It needs tri-lands to fix its mana, if it doesn't have a 3 drop then it can attack for 2 with a hierarch, it might not have a 1 drop in its opening hand, and with the number of enchantments and tidehollow scullers being played, he is relevant :p. Also, Watchwolf does fit in a GW beatdown deck

  5. Agree with Wagz, sculler, bitterblossom, sledges and noobhammers, glorious anthem all seem good targets from a guy who's a watchwolf alone and a pump for any other guy.

    I think redcap is good, but maybe out of the board?
