Deck Reviews / Cutthroat Deck - Allies or not? BW or Abzan? Please help

« on: October 14, 2015, 09:18:45 am »

Hi,

coming back to Magic after a 20 year break I am eager to take part in the upcoming gameday. Did buy some BFZ and Origins cards and now it comes down to basically two different deck choices.

I want to play a sacrifice archetype based on Zulaport Cutthroat. Either I go with Black/White and include the Allies mechanic or I go B/W/G to gain Evolutionary Leap and Gather the Pack but without relying on Allies.

The two different decks I came up with:

B/W: BW Cutthroat Allies

B/W/G: Abzan Cutthroats

The advantages/disadvantages as far as I can see:

 BW Cutthroat Allies (B/W)
+ less clumpier Mana-Base
+ Ally Mechanic (Kalastria Healer) as an added lifegain to survive Aggro Matchups
- not streamlined towards the central sacrifice idea

B/W/G: Abzan Cutthroats (B/W/G)
+ better Manacurve with Blisterpod instead of Carrier Thrall
+ more tuned towards the Deck's supposed strength (attack, sacrifice and bring back from graveyard)
+ more sacrifice outlets through Evolutionary leap
- no Ally mechanic
- clumpier Mana-Base


What do you think and suggest for taking out to Gameday next week?

Thanks for any tips and advice
