I'm surprised you don't have room for Behemoth Sledges maindeck.

Garruk strikes me as kind of odd...

I actually am thinking about taking the Garruks out of this deck and running something like this:

Land: 23
10 Forest
09 Plains
02 Wooded Bastion
02 Sunpetal Grove

Creatures: 25
04 Noble Hierarch
04 Steward of Valeron
04 Qasali Pridemage
04 Kitchen Finks
04 Wilt-Leaf Cavaliers
03 Wilt-Leaf Liege
02 Enlisted Wurm

Other Spells: 12
04 Path to Exile
04 Oblivion Ring
02 Behemoth Sledge
02 Ajani Goldmane

Sideboard: 15
03 Dauntless Escort
03 Oversoul of Dusk
02 Elspeth, Knight-Errant
04 Celestial Purge
03 Harm's Way

How's that? Basically I just turned the deck back into GW Aggro with me running only Elspeth and Ajani. But it might work. I even thought about these changes:

-4 Oblivion Ring
-3 Harm's Way [from sideboard]

+3 Harm's Way [to mainboard]
+1 Behemoth Sledge
+3 Captured Sunlight or Burrenton Forge-Tender.

When I face decks with either blue, red, or black in them, since Oversoul of Dusk has protection from all three colors.

Good point.

Has a hard time dealing with Finksies or Colossi, though, and those are seeing significant play. Still, Jund can't kill it except via combat, and it limits the number of good attacks it can make.

Yeah, the Garruk-less version seems quite a bit smoother.

I'm still trying to figure out just where Garruk's good...

He's good in my Mono-Green Warrior deck and plus he is also good in ramp decks.

I tried this deck out as a RGW Naya Walker deck and it went a little slow. It had Chandra, Elspeth (in the sideboard), Sarkhan Vol, Garruk, and Ajani in the deck.

I might bring it back though. I just got to get the missing Planeswalkers again.

Noble Hierarch can work just as good.

Firl, try not to mince words/grammar. Reiver's a nice guy, but you make yourself sound... less than cooperative. Besides, "godly" has one d.

I disagree about replacing Birds with Hierarch just to splash Negate. You should have enough gas to deal with it.

You might want to splash some blue via some method for Savor the Moment, though. That's thoroughly ridiculous in a PW deck.

I actually like that idea. I guess I can splash blue just to play Rafiq. It's just I really don't want to splash too much blue because then it would look like my Bant deck all over again.

I could probably go with something like this:

Version 1: (deck without Enlisted Wurm)

Land: 22
08 Forest
06 Plains
04 Seaside Citadel
02 Wooded Bastion
02 Sunpetal Grove

Creatures: 26
04 Noble Hierarch
04 Steward of Valeron
04 Qasali Pridemage
04 Kitchen Finks
04 Wilt-Leaf Cavaliers
03 Wilt-Leaf Liege
03 Rafiq of the Many

Other Spells: 12
04 Path to Exile
03 Harm's Way
03 Garruk Wildspeaker
02 Ajani Goldmane

Sideboard: 15
03 Dauntless Escort
03 Oversoul of Dusk
03 Elspeth, Knight-Errant
04 Celestial Purge
02 Behemoth Sledge


Version 2: (deck without Wilt-Leaf Cavailers)

Land: 23
08 Forest
07 Plains
04 Seaside Citadel
02 Wooded Bastion
02 Sunpetal Grove

Creatures: 25
04 Noble Hierarch
04 Steward of Valeron
04 Qasali Pridemage
04 Kitchen Finks
03 Wilt-Leaf Liege
03 Rafiq of the Many
03 Enlisted Wurm

Other Spells: 12
04 Path to Exile
03 Harm's Way
03 Garruk Wildspeaker
02 Ajani Goldmane

Sideboard: 15
03 Dauntless Escort
03 Oversoul of Dusk
03 Elspeth, Knight-Errant
04 Celestial Purge
02 Behemoth Sledge

There you go. Two differents versions of my GW/U Planeswalker Aggro deck.

you would only want 1 or 2 rafiq because he will mainly be an alternate win condition.

I think Wilt-Leaf Cavaliers are kinda weak, and Enlisted Wurm is hawt.

3 Rafiqs is definitely 1 too many.

I guess I could always add a 4th Enlisted Wurm.

No, 4 is too many. Keep that 2nd list as is. I like it!
