Goblins

Yeah I like both of these lists. I'm honestly not sure which one is going to be better. Goblin Piledriver may just be bad in this format. It could be amazing. No real way to know yet without testing and a base of tournament results. If it is in fact just bad, the Exquisite Firecraft list is definite...

Goblins

How do y'all feel about the green splash for Atarka's Command and the one-of Become Immense in the Goblins deck? My feeling is that just because we have access to an incredibly powerful card in Goblin Piledriver doesn't mean we should ignore Atarka's Command which is almost as powerful. I'm thinking...

[ORI] Molten Vortex

Would you guys run this in Standard RDW? If so, how many? 1 or 2 is my guess. Yeah this card will probably be a 1-2 of in Standard red aggro decks. Best case scenario is that it steals you a game here and there. I doubt it will make much of an impact in any format at least not for non-combo red bas...

Played about 20 games last night with the Naya Nacatl Burn list against Affinity for testing. I went 11-9 (no sideboard) against a decent pilot. Nacatl really forced the Affinity player to hold back a bit and be more careful to leave up blockers so I'd call it a success at least in that matchup. Sma...

I have a question about siding versus UWR (which is still popular in my local meta), do you guys think it's good to keep Searing Blaze after G1 to target Snap/Spellskite ? Or it is too few creatures to be reliable ? I definitely think you should be boarding out Searing Blaze against UWR. The only o...

I think it has merit. Josh Utter Leyton was actually running Nacatl Burn at GP Charlotte.

Not sure how I feel about Wild Nacatl, I know JHS ran Tasigur, the Golden Fang in that slot before with success but I feel that if your going to run a creature which doesn't impact the game right away (which isn't Grim, since Grim is more of a control card) you might as well run Tarmogoyf since he ...

Actually I doubt that Temple of Malice is better than the second Boros Guildgate, if we're making an argument for consistency. 11 white sources is better than 10 white sources and an extra scry? I remember feeling a lot more comfortable with the addition of the 11th white source in the previous ite...

Any argument for dropping one Mutavault and adding another copy of Temple of Malice? With the mana base just a bit tighter after sideboarding, one extra black source could be a potential game changer. Ofc, this deck loves scry and I love it too. Fixing draws imba.

I don't hate Chandra in the mirror. If it eats two burn spells I'm happy with that trade.
