Daily Digest: Death Rabbits

GerryT admires the work of a celebrated pro with no end to innovation up his sleeve! #SCGBALT is all about Modern. Will you bring death to the format to this weekend?

My motto is “If it’s good enough for Reid Duke, it’s good enough for me.” At Grand Prix Vancouver, Reid played a G/B deck based on Death Cloud that was one
of his top choices for Pro Tour Fate Reforged. After the PT, he tried his deck online and decided it was his choice for the GP.

The deck is based on the interaction between Garruk Wildspeaker and Death Cloud, which generates a significant amount of mana to fuel the Death Cloud, but
also leaves a potent threat behind. His deck goes bigger than most G/B/x decks, so he’s one of the few decks that posts a positive win rate against Abzan.

Reid made day two of the Grand Prix but didn’t fare too well there. Still, it’s an archetype that definitely deserves a second look.
