My sentiments exactly.

Did anyone else find Koth's deck a little slow? This is spectacular, but my friends keep killing the deck before I get a chance to use. Oh well, guess I'll have to stick him in an EDH deck instead.

I think the idea was to use Koth's -2 to power out fatties. Not exactly his best form though...

Actually, I found Koth's deck to be pretty fast. Venser's Deck was pretty much on defense the whole time and unless he pulled some really cool counter that ended up messing up my whole field, I won. In fact, I won three times in a row at full life. I was actually surprised because I thought Venser's deck was the better of the two when I first looked at it.

Now, Nozz, if you're talking about using this deck in games outside of Venser VS Koth games, I would have to call you crazy. This deck is not made to be a good deck for general play. It's made to be a deck you use while playing against its paired deck and nothing more. If you're trying to play with it against any normal decks... unless those decks are played/built by very inexperienced players... you aren't going to do well.

brunsbr103 and Speednat: Yes

other people: you're not supposed to be thinking anything more complicated than 'kaboom' when you see this :D

@PinkleDadandy this thing would be dead, so not Phyresis. Tainted Strike instead; when a card is equipped and it dies, it is no longer equipped, so it wouldn't generate poison. But with Tainted Strike, it's treated as just saying that until the end of the turn, even if it dies. Auras would leave before his effect activates.

Use this with caution. Some people do use Safe Passage and results are not the ones expected.

Would you be able to use Flash with this? Or would it not work because you have to pay R to activate his ability? Would be awesome...

Edit: Nevermind. Should've checked Flash rules first:
10/1/2009 "If you choose not to pay, the creature is sacrificed immediately. No player will get priority in between the creature entering the battlefield and being sacrificed. Sacrificing the creature this way will trigger any abilities that trigger when a creature leaves the battlefield."
Derp.

Double Edit: I can't read, apparently. "any abilities that trigger when a creature LEAVES the battlefield."
I'm thinking it wouldn't work now... confused
double derp...
