Usually I dont post untested decks here, but I wanted to throw this one out there from a theory pov. In MTG, one of the most effective ways to answer aggressive decks is to go a little bigger, while still being fast enough to play beatdown against slower opponents. Here's a stab at a list that tries to accomplish this, with its sights set on Orc/Skaven.
I started with this:
Units (20)
- 3 Spider Riders
- 3 Lobber Crew
- 3 Clan Rats
- 3 Clan Moulder's Elite
- 2 Greyseer Thanquol
- 3 Deathmaster Snkitch
- 3 Ugrok Beardburna
Supports (16)
- 3 Warpstone Excavation
- 3 Contested Village
- 3 Contested Stronghold
- 3 Orc/Chaos Alliance
- 1 Orc/Dark Elf Alliance
- 1 Chaos/Dark Elf Alliance
- 2 Choppa
Tactics (14)
- 3 Innovation
- 3 We'z Bigga
- 3 Troll Vomit
- 3 Pillage
- 2 Tzeentch's Firestorm
This seems a fine place to start tuning, assuming bolt thrower isnt a menace in your metagame. The general idea is to disrupt and play supports early, leveraging Contested Stronghold to ramp ahead of your opponent, then start playing big, powerful spells like Firestorm, Troll Vomit, and Ugrok.
As a bonus, here's a list that adapts to thrower:
Units (19)
- 3 Spider Riders
- 3 Lobber Crew
- 3 Clan Rats
- 3 Clan Moulder's Elite
- 3 Deathmaster Snkitch
- 2 Grimgor Ironhide
- 2 Ugrok Beardburna
Supports (17)
- 3 Warpstone Excavation
- 3 Contested Village
- 3 Contested Stronghold
- 3 Orc/Chaos Alliance
- 3 Orc/Dark Elf Alliance
- 2 Choppa
Tactics (14)
- 3 Innovation
- 3 We'z Bigga
- 3 Troll Vomit
- 3 Pillage
- 1 Mob Up!
- 1 Tzeentch's Firestorm
As I said above, neither list has been tested at all.
Clamatius and I were speculating that a miser's Grimgor or two might actually be an effective answer to bolt thrower for orc/skaven, and the second list here is probably the best shell for accomodating him while playing the Skaven package. I'm actually fairly dubious; I think thrower can hold Innovations in-hand to play around Grimgor and recover in a single turn, or even worse, hit the orc player with a Flames to completely reset their Kingdom hammers post-Grimgor. To be fair, Skaven can certainly also hold Innovations, and thrower can probably only make this move once. So it might be good enough. But this is all speculation - I welcome others to give this strategy a shot and post what you think. It might be terrible! (there is definitely a non-zero chance that playing single-set has warped my thinking... support removal is much more scarce there....etc...)
