Sideboard was a pile. Just know that I had my playset of 4 Foil Eidolon of the Great Revel in it for irony. Also, 4 Searing Blood

Edit: Also, I really wished I had remembered to put Hall of Triumph in my sideboard. Also also, Whip of Erebos was main deck in the Abzan deck I played in the finals, and it is a dicking.

Ran Rouse the Mob as a 2-of in my main today, and it put in some work. There were a couple times where they attempted to merely chump block one of my guys, and they effectively lost to the Trample damage. Also killed some Caryatids with it, which was nice.

In a midrange world arn't Frenzied Goblin and Arena Athlete extremely vital? I can't imagine why you wouldn't want to draw at least one in all those MUs, I havn't played the deck yet so can someone explain why are they 3/1 rather then 4/2 or at least 3/2 in the MD?

I personally hate Frenzie Goblin, but he's pretty necessary as at least a 2-of. Hammerhand gets you there most of the time, plus an alpha strike or 2, or 3. I'd rather just suit a Impetuous Sunchaser up in that matchup and watch it fly over their shit.


Yay, draft commons!

Rouse the Mob has been pretty decent to me in testing. I'm on a list thats only 1 or 2 maindeck cards different than Frank Skarren's though, and Tom Ross designed that deck with him or for him, can't remember.


Thoughts on sideboarding Impetuous Sunchaser and Thunderous Might? You obviously bring in Eidolon of the Great Revel with both of these, and it lets you get over early ground walls like Ram, Caryatid, and Hornet Nest. Thunderous Might is pretty sweet on a flyer.


As far as the main deck, I'm personally just trying to find a way to consistently get 4-7 damage on turn 2, and either win on turn 3, or get them so low that they can concede before I untap for turn 4. I like Mono-Red right now in the format, where you regularly see CitpT lands on 1 and 2, and not a whole lot of sideboard hate.

He also posted it on his Facebook. If you were a cool guy with cool friends you would have known that.

I'd be thinking of maindecking Magma Spray but I'm not too sure.

-1 Purphoros, -3 Ashcloud, +4 Magma Spray. Then maybe move Ashcloud in the sideboard. I'll try to figure something out once I manage to get some time.

Just main board Circle of Flame. Sure, it will be somewhat dead in some matchups, but it still lets you Lightning Strike a Courser of Kruphix/Other X/4's if they attack into you. For a list like yours, I'd consider it. Also, as discussed many times before, it neuters Goblin Rabblemaster, which is super common right now.

Don't think anyone posted this in here yet:

[deck]Ishiguro Tetsuya[/deck]


This is about at Scrumper as it gets, as far as I can tell. 3rd/4th at some JP tournament.

Googled him and found out he is(was?) one of the top PUA in the world actually. Which I believe because the guy is cool as shit.

When he was eating his mango's during the player meeting at the GPT, all I could think of was stromkirk noble. He's even a blue player at heart that knows how to red mage correctly. Baller.

No name drop? There's a small chance I would know his name if you wrote it, since I've read The Game by Neil Strauss like 3 times now. Not really for PUA reasons, but it turned out to be a really entertaining book.

Can someone explain the term 'Scrumper' to me? I feel like I'm missing out.


Other than that, I like how some of the decks look in this thread, and may be switching over to mono-red from Jeskai.
