Caw blade...

Caw blade is a good deck and people Need to stop bitching about it. Every standard format has had a great take control and force people to play around it, with it or just brew against it. To say the format is stale is pretty ridiculous and kind of ignorant.
Look past all the caw blade decks and you will see that there are plenty of decks that make up standard right now. Most better than alot of the brews that come up like rug/bug legion of doom vampires Boros uw control ub control mono red control goblins. All better than most decks that your going to see out there, he'll I will even throw valakut out there because people still play that for some reason. Cawblade isn't ruining standard. Stop bitching start brewing.
If you look towards past sets you will see that every deck has had a dominant beast. For you newer players jund faeries valakut. If you've played for a longer period of time you'll have napster astral slide decks goblins onslaught elves counter rebels doran rock spiritmonger decks upheaval decks psycatog decks ug madness. I could go on forever and in those times, those decks actually made me want to quit magic, fuck I quit because of affinity. The point is, most people that play standard don't know how good it is to have options. Cawblade is beatable, it's uphill beat it's still beatable.
I listened to scrubland podcast and i hear them bitch about cawblade. Stop playing valakut! Why are you playing ub control?! If wafo tapa didn't take the Texas gp, why play the deck? Your not wafo tapa!
I heard someone complain that here was a lot of cawblade at my natsq his weekend. Sigh I beat cawblade with grand architect beats. It was awesome and although it required knowing that deck, gettin the right draw and playing super tight, I managed to own him. Btw mindslaver pwns :)
Jesse complains about caw blade on the newest eh teamcast but hey, that guy can brew like no other and he's very much so trying to break standard. Even tho he's made a small dent in standard with legion of doom and has moved on, a deck not working hasn't stopped him. He and a handful of other players are the only ones trying something new and different sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. And I think that's what's missing. People aren't tryin new things.
Two of my friends top8 my natsq this weekend on running R/g goblins... Groundswell owns people that tap out and the other running ub mill... Ub mill no problems with cawblade just straight beating people
