I was inspired by this deck.

I won a small, 5-round swiss last night going 4-1 (loss to polymorph Iona when I mana screwed) with a version I’m calling “Nearly Naya.”

Nearly Naya sports a singleton Forest (add) and 4 Rootbound Crags instead of the Scalding Tarns. That allows me to run 3 Harrow and 4 Bloodbraids main. I admit the mana base is suspect in mid-range games against “Spread ‘em” or MXL, but the trade off for ‘Braids helped more than once by cascading into Hell’s Thunder (7 for 2 turns) or Harrow (Zektar online) cast Hellspark (13 then 6).

I’d love to hear your comments.

I love everything about this deck. I am going to play it at NY States. Balls to the Wall Aggro with a smattering of mana denial seems very good right now with slow clunky cipt mana bases abounding.

Since I never actually test, how would you board against the Naya deck since I assume it will be popular? I am guessing like -4 Goblin Guide, -3 Hell Spark +4 Path +2 Earthquake +1 Act of Treason?

Congrats on the Naya Lightsaber win. Awesome. The deck looks good but how does it do against bushwacker?

No, it is not, if the Act of Treason is not lethal…

Nice deck. Three is tres and third, tercero.

In the testing I’ve done with this deck (I made the changes you mention in the podcasts), I can never seem to get past a good Boros Bushwhacker draw. The full Boros deck seems more consistent in dealing massive damage with its turns. Maybe give some of those lists a try? You can def work in Earthquake and Act of Treason.
