Last week we brought you the tale of a Living End deck from the Extended world that had managed a GPT Top 8 and a PTQ 9th place finish. You can read that article here, and this is what the decklist looked like:

4 Avalanche Riders

4 Igneous Pouncer

4 Deadshot Minotaur

4 Valley Rannet

4 Monstrous Carabid

4 Street Wraith

2 Shriekmaw

1 Ingot Chewer

 

4 Violent Outburst

3 Living End

3 Demonic Dread

 

9 Mountain

3 Stomping Ground

3 Blood Crypt

2 Forest

2 Swamp

 

Sideboard:

4 Ravenous Trap

4 Kitchen Finks

3 Ingot Chewer

3 Faerie Macabre

1 Maelstrom Pulse

 

Now James Dykes, one of the players who created the original decklist, has expanded with thoughts on how to play Living End through a tournament report he wrote for a Top 8 finish at a Washington Grand Prix Trial. Here's the list he was running this weekend:

4 Valley Rannet

4 Street Wraith

4 Shriekmaw

2 Ingot Chewer

4 Violent Outburst

 

3 Living End
