[Fallen Alatar Resource] The Bounty of Earcaraxe

[Zarathustra]

Similar to the Bounty of Framsburg, this deck relies on squatting at a single hoard-containing site all game to get lots of safe points.  It is, however, a bit more dangerous.  However, the payoff is higher.  So it goes in MECCG usually....

BTW, a Snowstorm / Shadow of Mordor hazard strategy goes beautifully with this deck.

[Sauron_the_Great]

you should replace "Glamdring" in the sideboard with "High Helm" or "Sable Shield"...AFAIK "Glamdring" is unique >-)

[Ringbearer]

How can you play Exarcae Aroused when the site is already tapped?

[Zarathustra]

Indeed.

You may also include a Thror's Map. It would fit very well in this deck.
