Vial based Aggro

[grungyboy]

With Shop based decks always on the top these days, I believe that Beat decks should run Aether Vial to stand a chance; I do run a RG Beatz list with Vial in it and
during testing it did incredibly well against Shops, Blue-Based Control and Fish decks. Based on my testing against Shops, if you don't have a Vial in your opening Grip or in your next draw, 80-90% of the time you'll scoop.

My question is if you ever run a Vial based deck and you face a Non Shop deck, will you always mull aggresively for Vial? If you don't, what factor/s will make you keep an opening hand without a Vial in it?

Do you want advice on how to beat shops without vial in your opener? Try posting a decklist. Having vial as your only solid early play and mulling for it sounds horrible.

There are some vial lists in the null rod (ironically) forum.
