Last Sunday I went to play this GPT for Madrid with my (not so) budget Affinity deck. From the decklist I ran, there’s one card I’m really satisfied with: Perish.

I’m not sure whether or not is the right time to include Perish maindeck. With the uprising hype of Bant decks packing Natural Order / Progenitus, Tarmogoyf, Noble Hierarch, Qasali Pridemage, etc… I believe it’s the time to step forward and be ahead of the metagame.

If you hate Tarmagoyf as much as I do and would love to annihilate them all, Grand Prix Madrid would be the perfect scenario. Some random numbers I can come up with from my metagame predictions:

• GP Madrid attendance (based on nothing xD) = 2000 players
• Average of decks running x4 Tarmogoyf = 70% (Healthy format my ass!)

With those two numbers, you can come up with one idea: THERE’S GONNA BE A LOT OF GOYFS! exactly:

70% of 2000 players = 1400 times 4 = 5600 Tarmogoyf all together in less than 10000 m2.

Now imagine just casting a RL® Perish! OMG, you would make Legacy a healthy format in a matter of seconds!

Last Sunday I had the chance of making 2×1’s and 3×1’s thanks to Perish. Man, that retaliation feeling you got once you see your opponent (with tears in his eyes) placing those hordes of green creatures (I miss you Grizzly Bears!) in his graveyard is just PRICELESS!!!!!

I think I’m gonna My friend Jorge (aka the_juzam_dijnn) has created a Facebook group (join here) named:

I love the smell of Perish in the morning.

Just sayin’, if you don’t play green but black, you’d better play Perish!
