This question came to me as i realized the advent of Mortify in Guildpact offered a straightforward [ and cheap ] solution to the two main anti-aggro card types: Creatures and Enchantments. In the same card! Now lets say we were to try to take advantage of BW lands to try out an aggro deck that simply focuses on completely overrunning your opponent until they hit zero. Sound familiar? Thats what aggro used to be . . .
ghandi
4 holy strength
4 spirit link
4 guardian's magemark
4 raving oni slave
4 nezumi cutthroat
4 daggerclaw imp
4 unholy strength
3 razorjaw oni
3 phyrexian arena
4 mortify
[lands to be determined]
Notice that 12 of the 16 auras are 1 cc. That means with good draws you can put multiple beefers on one beast. Now card advantage and deck management says thats a waste. But aggro dont care. Just get the damage in. Unless they draw a removal spell every turn, or even every other turn [which they wont ], there will be plenty more where that came from.
