In reply to Will. I've been boarding two out against aggro, but drawing them g2/3 is usually pretty good. Once you start to stabilize fighting actually matters a lot in my experience. I also was +1ing Domri too aggressively when I first started playing him and have found that just fighting and often killing him to fight is the right play.

I’ve been tooling around with Domri in my Naya/Gruul deck and really can’t get behind him in the main deck. Against other aggro decks, while fighting is good, oftentimes you can’t do it favorably (save when you have a reckoner or something). I keep 3 in the board, and automatically bring them in against midrange/control decks, as the card draw effect is the better one in those matchups. I wish I could keep him in the main, and feel he COULD be, but really sometimes I’d rather him be another rancor, or a searing spear/pillar/mortars in aggro matchups. If I was playing the G/R savagry list (with wolfirs and increasing savagry) I’d def run him, but for me, I can’t keep him in the main board.

In reply to Kristopher Layher. While I do keep up on SCG somewhat, I haven't read a Todd Anderson article since the one where he came out as attention-seeking horrible husband and manchild. I apologize if this was information you found somewhere else, but I can't be held accountable for everything on the internet.

I feel like this is just restating most things Todd Anderson said yesterday on SCG.

I agree wholeheartedly about Domri being awesome! I’ve been putting him into decks since his untimely spoiling during that Craigslist debacle, and have since been ranting to anyone who would listen about his subtle strength and utility. A veritable swiss army knifefor creature-based decks. Currently, he resides in my Jund Zombies deck, where he acts as card advantage for my 31 creatures, his fight ability works wonderfully with guys like, Geralf, Lotleth Troll, Knight of Infamy, and the queen herself, Falkenrath Aristocrat. Thank you for speaking out on the virtues of Domri Rade… With articles like this, and positive results like Kibler had with his Modern Domri deck, Domri will start getting his due respect. Lastly, Domri and Liliana of the Veil wrok together quite nicely. Thanks again!!!
