Dies to Removal

Pretty much. This isn't a deck that works well if you try to become overly reactive. The deck is primarily aggressive. I get that. And when I was running G/R monsters I was consistently able to run over those threats. I guess an instant removal that allows me to deal with non-monocolored cards like...

This is my current build (The one I played at FNM and went 1-3) [deck] 2 Scavenging Ooze 4 Elvish Mystic 4 Sylvan Caryatid 4 Courser of Kruphix 4 Domri Rade 4 Palukranos, World Eater 4 Reaper of the Wilds 4 Stormbreath Dragon 2 Xenagos, God of Revels 2 Mizzium Mortars 2 Dreadbore; 1 Flesh//Blood 1 M...

I was thinking of those cards as well. I have a couple copies of Hero's Downfall too. I was just unsure of the double black (but I think its worth a try)

I have played jund monsters for a couple of weeks now. Last week a won Game Day at a small shop with it. Last night at FNM I got crushed (went 1-3). Obzedat and Blood Baron were particularly troublesome. I just didn't see mortars when needed for the Baron. But Obzedat seems like a problem for this d...

I just read an article on gathering magic which said that R/x devo is not a competitive deck

if only they knew

Yeah kinda hard to defend in the face of Star City Columbus results...

In the R/B decks that have been brought up lately there is even more recursion (Tymaret, Pyromancer, and Phoenix). Would Foundry Street Denizen be worth considering as a one drop? It could provide a decent hit late game.

Yeah, you're right.

Is riot control a viable answer to MoW?

G1: On the play. I keep 6, he keeps 7. He hits me with 2x Last Breath, but I ride a dragon protected with Boros Charm for the win.
.

I am probably misunderstanding this statement, but doesn't stormbreath dragons pro white keep Boros Charm from working with it?

I agree with Stuffydoll on a number of points following running Redthirst's list myself. I had a number of games where I just couldn't close out the game. I plan to bring back Thundermaw. While I really like Mutavault, I feel 4 may be too many.Chandra's Phoenix and Loyalist both help the deck IMO. I...

On the play, the postboard stays relatively pure.

Super analysis Nuwen.

I have a question, sorry if it is stupid, but I just want to make sure I understand. In the above quote do you mean that on the play vs. aggro you basically don't side in anything?

Nuwen -- congratulations. Thanks for the report. That was certainly not scrub Magic. :) I'm curious as to everyone's thoughts on Tribute to Hunger. I'm just not satisfied with that card, but it looks like it's been doing some good work in the deck. I'm thinking about adding it back in to my SB. Had...

Hi! I'm new too, but I like this forum quite a bit!

Would it be unthinkable to remove Stonewrights for 2 KOI main deck, and both Frostburn Weirds in the SB for two more?
KOI gives us exalted in place of the soulbond of Stonewright, and 2 more SB when the match up calls for it. If I get a chance to test it before Friday I will post outcome.

Anyone headed to the Star City Games Open in Baltimore tomorrow 6/1?

I've played Toil / Trouble in Dega Burn and the card is the absolute nuts against draw-go decks. It's an excellent top deck and a good turn three play as well. Against Sphinx's Revelation.dec you'll be getting in for 6-7 on turn three if you're on the play unless your opponent has a Syncopate, and ...

Hannibal is European in the novels so the actor's thick accent works well here. He's the same guy who played the villain in Casino Royale.

I just think his accent is unnecessarily heavy. But, its either lightening up, or I'm getting better at understanding it.

I took out pillars in favor of main deck dreadbore about a month ago. I felt like I needed more answers to big creatures especially Reckoner. I now play the pillars and spears md and dreadbore SB and have had much better results with that set up. Pillars pick off so many things early while you set u...

I do like the show, my only complaint is with the actor playing Hannibal. Why exactly does he have to have such a heavy accent? Anthony Hopkins didn't have a heavy accent at all. I just find myself missing dialog sometimes and that bothers me. I love the story, and the writing is well above average.

There is a good shop called Comic Kung Fu. It is in Winchester VA which is the northernmost county in VA. FNM regularly has over 25 players. They also run other MTG events and formats. Check 'em out on facebook. Its a good bunch of folks and the FNM prizes are great!

I ran the current Dos Rakis list for the second consecutive week. I mowed through mainly control and mid-range (although I did beat a Gruul Aggro deck) . My only loss before the finals was a mirror. In the finals I lost a close one to a Green, Red, Blue control. I couldn't be happier with where this...

Hello all! I started playing MTG with my son during the Lorwyn set. I took a break around the time of Scars of Mirrodin. Got playing again in this fall and can't believe I ever quit! Recently I have noticed that many of my favorite contributors to MTG Salvation seemed to be going away. Glad to find ...
