WWK is almost HERE !!

The first I want to say about WWK is its name , because it reminds me of WWE :p
Seriously now lets see some cards that might see play:

Loam Lion- white kird ape nothing more to say

Dispel - Counters instants for U it sounds good and playable even in Legacy, may be as a replace of REB ou BEB in some sideboards

Jace - I definitely like this jace more than the other but still I think it's too overrated, still the ability to brainstorm every single turn is something ....

Selective memory- Smells like combo but I think will never see play it's just too kamikaze and you don't even put cards back at the order you want so...

Abyssal Persecutor - I don't like this card but it's going to se play for sure even in extended and maybe legacy in some kind of rock...Actually the card ain't that bad because you can just "kill him" and use your Abyssal for blocker if they kill it they die but still... I just don't like it and besides baneslayer laughts at him...



Death's Shadow- There was a lot of overhype for this card... This card sucks... It can only get in play if you have 12 life and it's just going to have relevance size if you are at 7 which means it just gets when you are losing and it doesn't turn the game arround like baneslayer or elspeth for example, but still to have a bigger body than progenitus for 1 is still pretty cool :P


Kalastria Highborn - This could bring vampires to the next level but I think it's much like the black ascension "oh so amazing so amazing" kind but never sees play

Quest for the Nihil Stone - This card ain't going to see any t2 play but for extended or even legacy there is an high chance this card will be seen in some decks like pox or rack

Chain Reaction - Some call it the red wrath of god but it's not that good remember a 5/5 only dies if there are other 4 creatures so...


Kazuul, Tyrant of the Cliffs - I like this guy.. it's a 5/4 so survives bolt nactl lightning helix and friends and it has a propaganda effect!!! 3rr is a nice cost for this 5/4 that can make 3/3 watch out for U/r control or U/W/r variations...


Explore - This card is like 1/25 of time walk which still makes it pretty good, it can give you land + hand advantage...

Joraga Warcaller - This guy is going to see play in all t2, extended and legacy thanks to the elf tribe, it could bring real damage in legacy combined with priest of titania and friends...

Omnath, Locus of Mana - I like this card, I REALLY like this card , but i think it's not going to see much play but still in a U/G control or even mono G ( that got especially powerfull with wwk)..

Wolfbriar Elemental - I like this card too and I'm going to definitely make a mono green it this guy omnath explore and friends

Novablast Wurm - I attack chapam wrath of god... still.... I don't know has the potencial but ...

Lodestone Golem It's going to see play in vintage and i think it's all


Raging Ravine - This is the manland I most enjoy attack with it and it gets bigger every turn oh yeah...


Tectonic Edge - 4 land waste still not to bad...


I' m going to be honest I'm not going to the pre or release because this eddition sucks... but best luck for those who are going
See you next time

Noob Thoughts is back




Hi everybody.
So my last post was in November and a lot happened since then.
First congratulations to both Andre Coimbra and to China for winning the worlds.
The so waited updated banned list brought us no changes -.-.
And in 2010 we’ll have Legacy GPs , and I’m quite happy with this because finally legacy gets some attention, and I’ m going to GP Madrid with one of my NT ROGUE DECKS MUAHAAHA
So today I bring you my zoo:

NT stupid zoo

Creature
1 Progenitus
3
Woolly Thoctar
4 Knight of the Reliquary
4 Tarmogoyf
4
Wild Nacatl
3
Qasali Pridemage
2 Kird Ape
1 Noble Hiearch

Enchantment
2
Sylvan Library

Sorcery
4 Natural Order

Instant
4
Lightning Bolt
4
Lightning Helix
3
Path to Exile
Lands
2
Forest
1 Mountain
4
Savannah
3
Taiga
2
Arid Mesa
1 Plateau
4
Windswept Heath
4
Wooded Foothills

Let’s find out why are some cards here:

Progenitus + Natural Order – The best tech since Dreadnought + Stifle, stopping Progenitus is almost impossible, good luck with that.

Tarmogoyf- creativity stifling, everything that uses green is better with Tarmogoyf.

Woolly Thoctar – 3 mana for a 5/4 is alright plus he is green so….

Knight of the Reliquary – This baby is underrated, he is one of the best 3 drop ever, he is ,almost every time, a 4/4 when he hits the battlefield but he can grow bigger, tap it search for a fetch sacrifice the fetch and you got +2/+2 on the knight and 2 less lands to worry about in your deck.

Wild Nacatl and Kird Ape- Couldn’t be zoo without these boys, I only play with 2 apes because he’s not green.

Qasali Pridemage – This guy destroys tops, counterbalance, deeds ,Dreadnoughts and still hits for 2 and helps a friend if he needs with his exalted ability.


Noble Hiearch- This slot belonged to Kird Ape but I decided to stabilize my mana base and hiearch is something like an anti waste land that has exalted and can be offered to Natural Order Itálico


Sylvan Library- Allows you to dig your library, draw extra cards for life and put Progenitus back on the top if you draw it.

Lightning Bolt, Lightning Helix and Path to Exile- First two are the best burn spells ever, essential in a zoo. Path replaces Swords because zoo doesn’t care much about lands but he cares about life and getting his opponent to 0 is all that matters.

And there you go a nice zoo with Natural Order tech and fatties like Knight and Thotcar.
For side I would recommend something like 6 anti combo (canonist,
Gaddock Teeg, Thorn of Amnesty) 3 Krosan grip 3 Anti dredge and 3 cards of your choice, depending on the metagame.

Hope you enjoyed it,

See you next time ( I promise I won’t take another 2 months to write another post xD )
