2x Raorfin Hunter
2x Gorilla Shaman

I designed this deck to deal with all the power hitting decks that are being played in type one as of right now. It has good match ups with 7/10, Control Slaver, Fish, 4cC, Stacks, etc. One of my main problems is that i have NO way of dealing with decks like Draw seven. I got tired of being beaten by the ever so popular Tinker, Darksteel Collosus combo, and the new extremely popular Sundering Titan. This is how it deals with the specific decks.......

7/10 Match-up

I used to play Fish but after a while i realized that against a deck that contains huge creatures i dont stand a chance. One of those decks is obviously the 7/10 Sundering Titan. This problem is easily delt with by resolving a Gilded Drake. Plyaing the drake and stealing the Titan is definitly game deciding. Thats one route to defeating the 7/10, but on the other hand its vey rare that someone will hard cast a Titan. They rely on The good old Goblin Welder, which is easily neutralized by the Grim-bos and razorfin hunters. So this in my opinion is a easy match-up against 7/10

Control slaver

Ive seen alot of different versions of this deck as of late. Some play Titans and some play the Platinum Angel. In any case the Titan and the Angel are easy targets to steal with the gilded drakes. After bouncing the drake back to my hand it leaves the opponent wide open for attack by his own devastating creature. Not only can i steal Titan and Angel but in many cases Goblin welder is a good target, welder tricks are always fun. To prevent being Slaved the second game you always resort to the 3 Null Rods in the side as well as the Fluxes. Again i think this is an easy match-up for this deck

Fish

Fish doesnt stand a chance against this deck. If i resolve any of the six pingers in my deck they're pretty much done. Not only that but by playing and bouncing Drake i can double the amount of pingers in my deck. Again, easy match-up

4cC

There is nothing better then being able to steal an Exalted Angel with something as trivial as a Gilded Drake. In the case that you dont get a chance to steal the angel you can nuetralize the threat with a Grim-bo before the angel has a chance to morph.

Stacks

Actually a decently hard match up for me. If they get Smokestack out early game im pretty much beat. The only chance i have is to get an early Flux out to match the Smokestack. Difficult but i win against this deck consistantly.

Draw7

Havean extremely hard time against this deck. After gae one i obviously side out the drakes due to the no creature content of the deck. Second game side in Null Rods and Flux with the occasional rebuild. The only problem is after siding out the Drakes i really have no kill condition. I have the Grim-bos but that takes forever and i wind up having a draw 9 which happened at Waterbury). So this is obviously not a good match-up for me

Thats the deck list and this is how i feel it works against the powerful decks being run in type 1. I would ask for any kind of constructive criticism.....thanks alot.....
