Yeah, I've enjoyed the deck. Once you hit a big connection you can be up like 5 lands out of nowhere. They may not like it in your area... but it seems like if you are 5+ lands up on your competition, you should be expected to timmie-gash people and not set up engines, efficiency combos, or durdles. Also, you aren't specializing in swing-wide combat, which so many midrange decks do, so it is not totally fair to expect you to not use your super-ramp :)

Maybe Ob Nixilis, the Fallen could be a way to gouge someone, he also could grow pretty easy & become the next unfortunate Gitrog-rider. He is not quite torment or that type

Wow! this one snowballs. You might benefit from some more non-combat wincons/draining? That was probably the only bogdown I've been getting on playtesting.

Man! Queen hasn't done anything in the last 20 years... So mid :)

DemonDragonJ Looking deeper at your post, I'd say you are recommending I listen through a full album & play some deep-cuts... Which I think I should, Tyler was extremely talented & not afraid to use Blues/Soul (one of my favorites), so there is probably some more of that shining through in the deep-cuts, as they would not have been the popular sound for the time period, but they undoubtedly would have that element... Sidebar, if you want a really solid Blues revival song: 'The Hook' Blues Traveler is it-my 3-year-old is hilarious trying to sing it.

MollyMab come on with that "nothing in the last 20 years" stuff. Do you expect that they are going to throw out 30+ years of chart-toppers? That seems like an unreasonable expectation for most bands.

If you are a dinosaur like me, experiencing the time period, then you would know that Aerosmith had a revival. So, at least, 2 "haydays" not just the 70's. Certainly the 90's ranging from whenever Wayne's World 2 was around to all those slow songs that dominated WAY too many proms at that time...(that seems like maybe 8 years of relevance in the 90's). I suppose prom time for me would be more pop-punk stuff, but Aerosmith was all over right before that. I am just going to work off memory here, I'd rather not research when I can just run the clock back :)

They had some really solid stuff for their deep cuts, particularly when Tyler embraces his Blues roots. I love 'Amazing' .... Uoh! Ack-ack-ow, silvolobadabadow, oh-ack-ack-ack-ack ow OW!!!! :) "Pink" is good, if not a little bit on-the-nose :)

Niko9 I've always been into the "Raw" sound, that unpolished sound jives with me, just raw emotion without worrying about that choir training & no voice-modulation to fix it yet. The Ramones "Bonzo Goes to Bitburg" is amazing for that raw quality, sometimes David Bowie would do it, obviously Neil Young, The Hives. Then you get into bridging the gap with modulation: The Strokes took some raw punk elements but added that electronic element, by my estimation I can listen to 2 of their albums with all the deep cuts being good.
