Coalhauler rocks?!?

[ColZ_Dude]

Hey, i thought of this really cool deck idea that is based on coalhauler swine


Coalhauler extreme

2 Ben-Ben, the akki hermit
4 Coalhauler Swine
4 Frostling
4 Barrel Down Sokenzan
4 Crushing Pain
3 Flames of the Blood Hand
2 Lava Axe
4 Pyroclasm
3 Seething Song
4 Shock
2 Volcanic Hammer




How it works:

Bring out early frostlings and stuff to kill the 1 drops and block for a turn or two, mass removal when needed with pyroclasm. Then around turn 3, you start burning him to the dome with cards like blood hand. Later, you play swine for the win by using Ben Ben to and Barrel Down and hitting our swine for about 16. The Key is to always have a little more life than your opponent or not take any damge at all before you trade life.

(ino its weird, but its for fun!)

Any one have suggestions?

If It were me, I'd have gone with R/W for this type of deck. I know, because I have. I actually tested around with coalhauler just because I thought he reminded me of Mogg Maniac.
I never considered Ben-Ben though.

what White gives you, although reducing the efficiency of Barrel-Down... is the ability to run CoP: Red in the main. I also played Fetters in my build. here's as close to the list as I can remember:

4 CoP: Red
3 Terashi's Grasp
3 Faith's Fetters

4 Shock
4 Volcanic Hammer
4 Lightning Helix
4 Guerilla Tactics
4 Barrel-Down
4 Char
4 Coalhauler

4 Foundry
4 Forge
14 Mountain

how does CoP red help out?

i kinda like the idea of white, for the life gain, but i think that i need the efficeincy of Barrel down. I try to replace all the life gain that i would want, with burn so i dont need to splash white. How did this deck do against other match ups? lol

Wait...last I heard this doesn't work because you can only deal the 4 damage to the swine before it dies, the lethal damage isn't counted in the ability.

EDIT: CoP Red stops it from hitting you.

definetly splash white. drop the ben-ben's, because they will die too soon to just about everything.
The cards I would absolutely run in the deck are: Orcish Artillery and Spirit Link. Yes, Helix the Swine with Spirit link attached and gain....6 life? Sure! Orcish artillery works with the link too, plus the two aforementioned cards would really help against aggro.

[Hedgemo]

Hoho, orcish artillery + CoP:red, haven't seen that in like 10 years.

[wyatt290]

coalhaulerswine + pariah shield + blessing of leaches is an infinite combo eh?
you could think about that and add green for accel and add burn and slum and that such?

[ColZ_Dude]

Can someone come up with a decklist splashing white? I want to see how it would look like before i decide to actually splash it up. lol thxz
