Butcher of the Horde is Overrated! (but still very good)
Butcher of the Horde
Pro Tour Champion Patrick Chapin joins Resident Genius Michael J Flores for the second episode of Top Level Podcast!
In this episode the intrepid duo cover a variety of topics, both Butcher of the Horde-related and not-so-Butcher of the Horde-related.

In this episode…
- A style of deck design you might not know about but that has taken down multiple Pro Tours!
- Why it is important to play your lands in a particular order, and what to do when a card you draw might change your plan
- The exciting (but ultimately not-ready-for-prime-time) “All-Stars” deck by Tomoharu Saito
- The realization of Saito’s master plan by former Player of the Year Brad Nelson
- A discussion of some very good cards that are all relatively similar in power level… How do you pick between Crackling Doom, Hero’s Downfall, Banishing Light, and Utter End?
- Selecting cards on basis of mana cost versus mana curve
- The one thing that setsĀ Butcher of the Horde ultimately on top of Sadisi, Brood Tyrant
