Regionals is right around the corner, and so I've been perusing decklists and scouring the new set for ideas. So far, it looks like I'll be running a 5CC variant, and Brenna will be running a pretty aggressive Boat Brew build. Twincast and Sanity Grinding stocks are depleted across the internet, so that will definitely be a deciding factor for our sideboards. I've seen a lot of B/R Aggro, which after some playing this weekend, I don't feel is that much of a threat to anything but Blue/White Lark and Faeries.
About Brenna's Lark deck:
Brenna has been playing a homebrew R/W midrange aggro for a while now, but even with the copious amounts of life-gain it can do, it still lacks the extra oomph required to take it all the way. As soon as she read the text on Lark, I knew from the look on her face that she'd be building a R/W Lark deck. We've been kicking some ideas around, and I'm leaning toward this list:
1 Stillmoon Cavalier
4 Figure of Destiny
3 Kitchn Finks
4 Knight of the Meadowgrain
4 Mogg Fanatic
3 Murderous Redcap
3 Ranger of Eos
3 Reviellark
3 Siege-gang Commander
3 Ajani Vengeant
4 Mindstone
3 Spectral Procession
3 Mountain
4 Plains
4 Battlefield Forge
4 Rugged Prairie
4 Windbrisk Heights
Sideboard:
2 Banefire
2 Wrath of God
4 Smash to Smithereens
3 Forge-tender
4 Guttural Response
The sideboard is pretty easy to understand, but I'm not quite sold on it yet. Brenna hates it when her Figures are Pithing Needled - actually, she hates it so bad that she wants to not just remove the needle, but punish its owner. Smash to Smithereens is a perfect card for this attitude. Wrath is for hard to kill bastards, and could certainly fill Banefire's two slots to be a four-of.
Otherwise, the deck is a pretty standard Boat Brew build. It drops creatures from turn one, and it runs full throttle until the game is up. One notable exception is Knights of the Meadowgrain instead of Knight of the White Orchid. Brenna felt like the life-gain was more important than the ability to catch-up with lands, and it's the go-to card for her for any white deck. :)
Hopefully we'll be playtesting it this week!
