Standard Deck with Thrun?

[aaren]

Hey guys, I have been bashing Thrun for some time now and decided to give him a try. After much thought I came to the conclusion he is an absolute beast with equips so I made a deck. Let me know what you think. To be honest not sure bout the red... any other imput would be greatly appreciated... I think blue might be better than the red, but im so tired of it... just like im tired of green ramp...

3x lightning bolt
4x Student of Warfare
3x birds of paradise
3x lotus cobra
4x Stoneforge mystic

hmm the more i think about it, green white might be better with squadrin hawk and a 4th birds and possibly even kor outfitter. I was also considering adding blue just for trinketmage (darksteel axe/ trusty machette) and jace....

I think 4 thrun is to much. Its legendary maybe 3 in the main 1 in sb? And i think that bant colors are stronger then naya colors atm. Jace, counters, trinket mage, frost titan, sphinx?

Well your right with the legendary... I fished with a proxied version of the deck and saw too many of him... and your right with the bant, but instead of counters I think I will go down to 2 thrun throw in trinket mage and maybe etched champion. cause if metal craft comes which is often will with 4 trinket/4 stoneforge and etched himself being an artifact. he will be just as deadly with an equip... thanks dino! (pretty sure your dino).

i like g/w beats. but idk if can be a real deck. Mid range decks are hard to pull off successfully. and this seems like that kind of deck. I would however like this deck with maybe BSA. And the Sparkmage Combo seems like it'd fit in nicely. its like new naya

[aaren]

naya really misses knight of the reliquary lol that card was awesome, o ya! in response i sac a plans search for a sejiri steppe and give my creature pro red making u waste your lighting bolt! ya... it was good lol

Well thrun is as close to a replacement as I can think of for knight. WIth Troll shroud and regeneration he is really good for the purpose of beating face. Turn 3 thrun is not easy to deal with.
