(POST ROTATION) JESKAI BURN

I still prefer harbinger and jeskai charms to rabble/stoke, but I do like the 1 roast as another answer to big guys that can gain you a bunch of life with soulfire.

(POST ROTATION) JESKAI BURN

Swore off Jeskai and promptly 0-3rd Gp with mono-red.

Decided to play jeskai list buddy made tonight and went 4-0(8-1 in games only losing the game I mulled to 5).

[deck]2 Harbinger of the Tides
4 Jace, Vryn's Prodigy
4 Soulfire Grand Master
4 Mantis Rider
2 Dragonlord Ojutai

4 Lightning Strike
4 Wild Slash
3 Jeskai Charm
3 Valorous Stance
2 Dig Through Time
3 Ojutai's Command
1 Dissolve

2 Battlefield Forge
4 Mystic Monastery
3 Temple of Triumph
3 Temple of Epiphany
3 Shivan Reef
4 Flooded Strand
2 Island
2 Plains
1 Mountain

2 Negate
1 Glare of Heresy
4 Disdainful Stroke
2 Revoke Existence
2 Tragic Arrogance
1 Elspeth, Sun's Champion
3 Anger of the Gods
[/deck]

Last minute change was adding a dissolve maindeck over an island and it was great. Jace is the best card in the deck and it's not really close. Turn 2 jace quickly takes over the game. If the opponent kills it, it set's you up to get value off of command and if they don't kill it, then he quickly transforms and either sits there for a while or wrecks accrues tons of CA. The best thing about jace is that it makes having jeskai charm and valorous stance in your deck actually fine instead of clunky/useless.

The worst card in the deck is probably the jeskai charm, more specifically the 3rd jeskai charm. I think you want 1 stoke the flames in that spot since charm is only really bad on the draw where having a stoke lets you actually have a reasonable answer to cards on board.

Ojutai is kind of awkward because you usually want to hold command up for most of the game and it feels really bad when they kill it. On the other hand, if your opponent taps out, ojutai does a REALLY good job of killing your opponent by giving you tons of value. I wouldn't be surprised if mouthbreather dragon was just better since you can just slam stormbreath and chunk them for 4 right away while still being protected from most of the kill spells that answer shields down ojutai.

The sideboard might need work, but I don't know. In all my matches, I mostly just boarded in counterspells, out burn spells. I could see wanting something like a Jace's ingenuity or Dragonlord's prerogative for grindy matchups.

If you assume the Various control decks gain approx. 26 life, it's easy to assemble a plan when you know that you have tons of burn in your deck and need to maximize your creature damage(of which all your threes deal immediate damage).

That combined with the 4 disruption spells and mono-anticipates seems easy and postboard, you have more counters and even mastery.

All I hear are excuses and a lack of accountability.

You can get/be emotional, but that doesn't mean you let it affect your decision making.

The only thing you have control over in magic and in life are the decisions you make and how you play with the cards your dealt.

Making excuses only hinders you in the long run.

This actually goes back to what me and Z would talk about on Facebook all the time.

Some players as Mathias Hunt actually said on stream at the invitational the other day understand 'power' in a certain way. But to be the absolute best, you need to expand your range so that you're still a viable competitive entity when lifebane zombie gets printed and you can't play green anymore.

Wescoe, Kibler, Cox, etc. always play the same decks and do well when there specific archetypes are viable.

Owen, Huey, Reid, LSV, and Wraptor respectively are the best because they can play anything which was honed over years of growing pains. LSV went from mono-loxodon hiearch at PTs to PT win with elves, GP win with TEPS, 11th place worlds with Swan Combo, and 16-0 swiss PT with Boss Naya. Owen(unknown to most players) is an agro MASTER. Nigga finished second at a GP with goblins when flash hulk was THE legacy deck. Now he dominates the world of magic because he can play mono-black, ub control, UWR delver, or mono-red agro.

If your satisfied with your level of play, keep jamming along and you might eventually be THE red mage. But be the #1 red mage in the world when you can strive for being the #1 magician in the world regardless of color?

To stay on top of my name dropping history, while I didn't think of it till now, I HAVE met Wafo-Tapa at my first GP where he scrubbed out playing in his words, 'very bad control'. I also sat next to Saito at the same GP in a hotel lobby at 130 am as we each where hustling trades with willing participants.

I guess the "I do what works for me" just rubs me the wrong way as it seems like a losing philosophy in the long run.

So like, say your good at red agro, really good at it even. Do you always play red agro then? What if it's bad? You pigeon-hole yourself. Look at Wafo-tapa, one of my 5 favorite magic players of all time. Nigga plays control exclusively to the point where he FELL OF THE PT when control was bad because he forced it. And this was when he was undisputedly one of the top players in the world if not the best.

While you may be comfortable with something, eventually you need to leave that comfort zone so that you don't always fall back into the 'safe area' or else you don't grow as a player.

From about a year ago now, I went from bad at limited to understanding limited, to being pretty damn good at it because I studied the format, applied what I learned, then finally getting to the point where I'm comfortable experimenting with it and can feel comfortable diving into a new format without guidance to steer me into the right direction.

For what it's worth, LSV is on the same plan re: two Outpost Siege postboard with countermagic.
Are we talking about in the new format, or do we continue to live in the past?

I ALSO played outpost siege and countermagic. I know what siege does. It's also known technology that forces your hand. I DID NOT say siege was bad, I said ojutai is better.

Context of games: depending on how your main is set up and the level your opponent is on, it makes sense to board out spot removal against tokens in general because there just aren't good targets. Postboard, the context of games changes fairly drastically. Ojutai not only has a decent chance of rulling the skies against an opponent with zero removal main, it synergizes with ascendancy in play(Magical Christmas land, but reasonable combo) and it's a game breaking threat that trumps there sideboard cards.

Siege just generates raw CA which is nice, but it's not consistent. Sometimes you hit cards that you can't cast without ruining your plans and other times you can't cast them at all(there's a ridiculous big difference between flipping a tenth land and a stroke, hence you're comment being worth ridicule).

With Ojutai, you sacrifice speed(siege being a mana cheaper is a big cost), in exchange, you gain a self-contained plan. Siege in play for 2 turns does not guartnee victory. That's hyperbole at best, folly at worst. The second time an ojutai triggers on the other hand does something like triple your chance to win as instead of hitting 2/3 random cards, your getting 2 anticipates which is fairly close to a dig through time, AND you dealt 10 damage.

There's something called "the danger of cool things" where people are attracted to the flashy stuff be it exotic plays or new toys. You(and khaos, and most of my FOS bretheren) have the opposite problem; it's like, fucking cranky old man syndrome. "why would I play this new card, the old cards better, I'm not even gonna try it." "I played 10 games, new card sucks, old cards way better."

MOST FUCKING FRUSTRATING THING EVER. It's like everytime a set rotates, I feel like I'm exploring the new format and experimenting with shit, some good, lots of bad, and everyone else has the cards they love that they're gonna force, or just do nothing, and it's like pulling teeth trying to convince people to evolve. I don't even know why I care. But I clearly do which leads to lots of aggravation on my part.

Ojutai is simply much better then something like outpost siege fwiw in postboard games as it both works well with ascendancy and doesn't flip disdainful stroke for infinite sadness.
Based on my experience I'm not worried about the nonbo with counterspells and Outpost Siege. I have NEVER lost a game where I've resolved Outpost Siege and it stuck for two turns. There's no difference between flipping a Disdainful Stroke and your 10th land, so your point is invalid.
At the risk of throwing productive discussion out the window, this post is pure stupid.

Also, anticipate is fine, my neglecting of it is just a nod towards being more proactive. My deck kills faster game 1 without anticipate, but it's definitely less good in postboard games. If I where to add it, I would cut a slash, a mountain, Ojutai, and maybe a stance or dragon fodder. The jeskai charm is totally cuttable as well.

It's definitely something I can see decks siding as a 1-of to beat token strategies as there are potentially a lot of them that are viable in the set. Having said that, I don't worry about it and it's not like you don't run enchantment removal.

RE Exemplars: What even postboard, your deck should be potentially very spell dense, and it survives all the board wipes that are good against the rest of the strategy plus the board wipes your probably boarding in if you play anger. Besides which, even when your boarding out your cheap burn, in those matchups your generally boarding in other cheap spells like negate, stroke and valorous stance.

24 lands seems right as does 2 dig. With exemplars, you want to keep the curve low. Exemplars is btw the NUT.

1 jeskai charm is the perfect number because it adds a unique effect that can win you otherwise unwinnable games and at it's worst, there are still plenty of spots where you can get good value out of it. Just always board it out vs. abzan.

I DO like the idea of 4 grandmasters.

Anticipate is something I thought about, but I think often times, it's just a waste of mana in this deck. I could be very wrong on that as it's a cheap enabler for examplars and you don't have to just burn a card for it.

3 mana is overcosted raise the alarm. 4 mana is instant speed horedling outburst which is probably great. 5+ and you're generating virtual CA and will likely win the game if you untap with an ascendancy in play.

Thunderbreak regent seems much worse then Ojutai's exemplars. Regent is more aggressive and linear which has merits in certain builds, but when you're playing sarkhan over stormbreath, your conceding that you want versatility of spells and Exemplars does all of the things.

Solid points. Was nervous about going to 5 against a deck with thoughseize, but it makes sense... I was hoping to live the dream.
To quote PSully, with that logic, you'll never mulligan hands. "my opponent has thoughtseize, can't mull." "Have satyr wayfinder, 10 card hand" etc.

Having said, that, I keep a LOT of loose hands, but they need a combination of a solid plan, and I guess you'd call it catchup potential vs. whiffs. Like, 1 scryland, wild slash+stuff on the draw is fine because you get to see an extra card, you have a piece of interaction and presumably the stuff you're keeping includes 2 mana cards that also interact to buy you time.

Another example was a 1-lander I kept with UB control weeks ago. It was scry, jeskai sage, and maybe a bile blight and a thoughtseize. Normally you can't keep 1 landers with control, but in this case it was fine because he was a temur controlish deck with caryatids and maindeck angers. The chance of him having a slowish start means I don't get punished, jeskai sage buys turns and gets me deeper in my deck, and it's not like I can beat knucklebade if he has it so that's irrelevant to any of my keeps.

TL:DR,

R1: Played UB control. I know everything he can do at every stage of the game and had the cards that allowed me to maneuver through his sequencing. Things like play around dissolve for x turns, then play into it the turn he wants to dig. When he plays vault, jam rabble so that he doesn't time walk me since he has to kill it in combat or risk taking a million damage. 2-0 easily.

R2: Play abzan control. At some point, he reveals blight off the top with courser so with a bunch of goblins and raise the alarm tokens in play, I play another raise the alarm eot going up to 7 tokens. Untap, jam rabble, he decides against blighting after I attack with just goblins. he does something maybe. My turn he blights rabbles I attack with everything trying to race his lifegain with suicide attacks playing to burn. He drops Elspeth. and starts racing. On my last turn, I draw cruise and cruise into strike. Game 2, he plays 4 fleecemane lions and I'm super dead. Game 3, I'm ahead all game and he missed a critical land drop. I kill him dead. Post game, he says if he hits his land, he can sorin and stabilize with lifegain then follow up with something relevant. My hand was stacked though and I think I would actually win a long game against him that game so whateves.

R3: RW agro, get double outpost sieged into infinite rabblemastered. G2, jeskai ascendancy is superior enchantment. He kills 1, I have a second. g3, he mulls to 5. I keep the SKETCHIEST hand on the draw of double rabble as my only early plays. He does nothing and dies.

R4: Lose g1 to deck check. Had other standard legal cards in box. Lose g2 because I deal 7 damage to myself in a game I otherwise dominate.

R5: play UB control, see round 6.

R6: Draw into top 8.

Quarters: play against carmate. Lose game cause on the draw. Win long game 1 that looked close, but I had siege and cruise giving me mad CA and kill him with monstrous stormbreath dragon. G3 was epic. I'm behind all of it to anafenza and double lion. Play outburst, take some damage.
