Dies to Removal

I've got 'em - PM'ed you on MTGO

"Wise nigga is wise." LP

^This is sooo fuckin' true! You're an inspiration Khaos!

L.D. - You've come further than you realise and you'll go further than you think possible right now

Hang in there L.D.! Redbro's are thinking of ya!

Lazer, your edit literally made me LOL in the middle of the breakroom at work.

Happy to have brightened your day

Agreed Khaos Firedancer is terrible in this list. What 75 do you have sleeved LD?

EDIT - If it's the pile on the last page unsleeve it and build the original

Hi xdavisx, welcome to DTR - I'd highly recommend reading the full thread as we haven't figured out a concrete SB plan yet and different ideas are being discussed at various points That said here and here are your best SB plan starting points

@LD - hit me up on MTGO - I have all the important decks on there (important = runs Mountains ) and am happy to lend you cards. All of us are happy to lend you cards! Then you can simply play the list and either win lots and buy it yourself or decide it's a pile

In Legacy Red Burn is playable right now, thanks to Eidolon

In Modern Red Burn is playable as it can simply snag free wins but RDW is a MUCH better deck

If I wanted to build up tix on a budget I'd either borrow a deck from us or play MonoU in
Pauper (which I think Z said he'd lend ya?)

@ Khaos - you are on fire (pun intended!) Sir - consistently excellent posts on multiple threads on both MTG and life/personal stuff Your hard work and life changes suit you Sir, it's a pleasure to know you!

@LP - I don't like Dancer here - way too slow and fragiel IMHO. I'm in agreement with Khaos that the list & SB is tight as is and pretty much spot on for the current meta. I can see a case for the Pillar and even the Javelin tweaks proposed and discussed on here but splashing W and running Dancer seems a bridge (or 2!) too far to me

@ PresidentMustache - the SB plan is [url=viewtopic.php?p=238399#p238399]here[/url:
p32bl8o9] - it was intended as a starting point but I'm happy to say that it's a fairly solid one given that Khaos found it acceptable

It's perfectly normal among Red Mages Khaos - MDU ran it, I ran it, G0D_L1k3 is running it too It's only 1 lil Stomping Ground, what harm can it do?

Also

In other matters thanks for the Dismember Pod feedback

Play this and G0D_L1k3's Burn list MDU!

I'm really enjoying playing this deck! I'm aware of the wisdom of running a list 'as is' before tweaking I've been running Pillar since it was first suggested in the thread and I like it, a lot I also like having the 3rd and 4th in the SB over the Dragon's Claw though I'm not sure this is optimal, especially given how much Red/Burn gets played on MTGO (even if it doesn't place I see it a lot).
Heal says that Molten Rain (UWR Control) and Rift Bolt (pressure Vs Twin though he say's it's not that good) are the flex slots in the deck. So far I've found Molten Rain amazing and Rift Bolt somewhat underwhelming. I ran LP's list with Flame Javelin and really liked it
I also
tried Magus Of The Moon MD MD as per LP's suggestion. I found 3 copies was enough but although the card good I'd be hesitant to change from Heal's set up based on my own comparatively few games. For ease of reference here's the list again
WIP SB Plan for Top 12 MTGO decks (75%
of the meta) - thanks to MDU for your posts, I've referred to them a lot and unsurprisingly I agree with 99% I've given my reasonings, mostly and I've expanded the list of match ups. I still consider myself a Modern newbie so feedback is VERY welcome guys
The other 25% - decks of note - Hatebears/Faeries/Merfolk/Blue Moon/Dead Guy Ale/Living End/Ad Nauseum/Bogles/Amulet Of Vigor/Zoo/Soul Sisters/Infect/BW Tokens/ Gifts Ungiven ... If anyone has anything to add about any of these please do!

Thoughts on Wurncoil Engine anyone? My current strategy is to concede

VD is great in this deck.

It's like nigga's don't know how to sideboard.

Agreed about VD.

Also -er, yeah, it's true! I'm getting better but if anyone wants to knock up a basic Modern RDW SB 101 I'd be fucking delighted

And in other matters, this is a great thread guys! It's a pleasure to be here!

Everyone besides myself and LP, who has actually played with the Heal list?

Me I've only played Burn in Modern before and consider myself pretty much a total Modern newbie but I REALLY like the deck (great synergies, fun to play, classic RDW) and am slowly starting to slowly gain an understanding of the format I'm currently here -

[deck=Nicholas Heal's RDW, tweaked by LP]

4x Eidolon of the Great Revel
1x Figure of Destiny
4x Goblin Guide
3x Grim Lavamancer

Magus is in the MD for testing but It might be better to run 4 VD in the MD and 3 MotM (or 2 Blood Moon / 1 Shattering Spree) in the SB. Searing Blaze has been great but Searing Blood may be better.

@Val - you need to drop from FoS before MTGO will let me invite you

Heal won a PTQ in March 2012 with an earlier version of the list, thought I'd share this for anyone who is interested
Dan from MTGO Strat also ran the list quite a lot. He posted about it here and there are other vids up on his YouTube Channel too.

[deck]3 Grim Lavamancer
4 Mogg Fanatic
4 Magus of the Moon
4 Goblin Guide
4 Eidolon of the Great Revel
1 Figure of Destiny
2 Flame Javelin
2 Shrine of Burning Rage
4 Molten Rain
4 Searing Blaze
4 Lightning Bolt
2 Pillar of Flame

8 fetches
2 megaliths
12 mountains[/deck]

Something Like this?

Looks bang on the money to me! I notice you've put Searing Blaze back in over Searing Blood, any particular reasoning?

@ LP - many thanks for your work on the deck! Much appreciated
