    Man, I don't know if I can even call that a "curve" anymore.

      Lots of mana to pump into Masticore.

    Wow, I'm diggin' the change.  The addtion of white for Wild Nacatl, Swords, and Armadillo Cloak should be interesting. Btw, you may want to consider Behemoth Sledge as an alternative to Armadillo Cloak.

      The deck needed more removal than 4x Lightning Bolt and 2x Fireball / Rolling Thunder, and Jungle Lion was not a significant threat. By replacing Giant Growth with Swords to Plowshares, this made Berserk less viable. I'm considering replacing the Juggernaut with either another beatstick or a utility creature like Grim Lavamancer.

        You could also run Loam Lion.  You'd have essentially eight Kird Apes if you did that.

          Hmmm... that means that River Boa is my most expensive creature. I know! I'll replace the Boa with Loam Lion and Juggernaut with Masticore!
          • Jumbo | 29-May-2011 10:15
            Considering the number of creatures you're running, maybe Molten-Tail Masticore over just Masticore would be a better choice.

      Actually, I think that an equipment that lets me draw cards would be more useful. Unfortunately Skullclamp is banned in Legacy format, but at least it is unrestricted in Vintage format.
