Does anyone know where it is? http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/rc/188 Is this what you are looking for? It's a good article with some very important fundamental advice for deck building. | ||

You can blow out Elesh Norn decks hardcore by acting then using it to eat whatever survives the -2/-2. It also wrecks Phyrexian Obliterator (take it, eat a creature, make them sac stuff). Apart from that it has limited use against stuff like Primeval Titan, that's about it. | ||

Elesh norn and obliterator are nice but how often will you face those instead of a titan. I would venture to say that Elesh/Obliterator are the next most popular targets after Primeval Titan. Elesh in Freaks, and Obliterator in Zombies in what I would call the most popular deck since the people that play it realize that Delver isn't easy to play along with Wolfrun. The concept of Freaks is fun and appealing to people. So yes, I would say its about evenly split right now. And about podding at sorcery speed, aka effectively limiting Aggression to sorcery speed, not even close. Consecrated Sphinx says hi. Edit: Getting real tired of RAPING SOULS. Right now every deck has to be able to beat that card efficiently without resorting to play shitty cards and 4/5 drops. | ||

I call it Freaks because there are different versions of the French one (Frites) which have different targets other than Inferno Titan, Wurmcoil Engine and Elesh Norn, like a certain blue praetor. Also, does anyone else feel like Avacyn (the card) will be close to Akroma in terms of power level? | ||

My first intro to magic was buying a Champions starter deck and playing against a friend that had Akroma and some pro creatures guy that I could never deal with. So I traded a bunch of stuff to a guy for a Tornado Elemental just so I had a chance | ||
