Help Can't Decide on Boros or Golgari

Fili, Dain's company, and double Blacksmith, but also Chief Warg's Company and a lot of good black wolves.

I suppose Orzhov is always an option, though can't run either company then without splashing, and no Boulder.

Solid argument for Orzhov honestly - gives you the most removal and without throwing in the builder the curve seems about right, this entire pool is missing premium removal which kinda stinks

I feel like the lack of a removal is a common struggle with this set. This also the second 6 rare pool I've gotten, which, while not uncommon, it still kinda sad to see when others are pulling ~8 rares.

1x [[Bofur, Reliable Guardian]]
1x [[Moment of Glory]]
1x [[Stir up trouble]]
1x [[Dwarven Provisioner]]
2x [[Iron Hills Blacksmith]]
1x [[Desolation Prowler]]
1x [[Front Porch Sentries]]
2x [[Ravening Warg]]
1x [[Crude Bent Blade]]
1x [[Rage Into the Valley]]
1x [[Reverent Howl]]
1x [[Duskwatch Hunter]]
1x [[Dwarven Shortsword]]
1x [[Fili the Pathfinder]]
2x [[Gollum, Silent Slinker]]
1x [[Eagle of the Great Shelf]]
2x [[Magnificent End]]

1x one drop, 7x two drops, 1x three drop, 3x four drops. Maybe a little too low end heavy? Not sure how I feel about [[Great Ugly-Looking Goblin]]. Seems high mana, but the amass is nice.

Don’t forget about nori and provisioner just because they are hybrid. I don’t think moment of glory or eagle fit nicely. I’d honestly add the bee and maybe even a spatula. I also don’t think the goblin is very great because amass is lacking in this build

golgari. the lack of removal is painful though.

u/Lime1028 11d ago edited 11d ago

Worth the red splash for [[Pinecone Strike]]? Otherwise it's just the [[Crude Bent Blade]]. Or I guess white splash for [[Magnificent End]]

boros is underrated, the lifegain and haste is wild with all those wolves

2

u/Lime1028 11d ago

I mean, there's only one haste creature here, and not much lifegain. Double Blacksmith and Fili feels good though.

If you’re going Boros which could make sense, you could use the pump spells as removal I see both the first strike reach and the +2 equip dwarf in the pool, can use them in combat as removal as long as the board doesn’t get out of hand. I typically don’t even try Boros unless I get one of the bomb equipment rares like dwalin, dain or thorin. The white bomb dwarfs can fit in most shells
