Thanks for the report! Some of your SB choices seem suboptimal when I compare them to what I might do... Which I think showcases the potential power this deck has. What changes would you make if you had to make some? How did magma jet and Chandra perform for you? What about the lands? Did you feel ...

SCG Chicago Report 9-5-1 Day 1 Round 1: U/B Control Started the day off with an easy matchup. Its a good matchup to begin with and for some reason he kept a one lander on the play and missed his second land drop. -2 Searing Blood -1 Wild Slash +3 Outpost siege Game went a little grindier than before...

Looks like someone copypasta'd Purp's list to a 49th-place finish: http://sales.starcitygames.com//deckdatabase/displaydeck.php?DeckID=87908 That was me, I found Purp's list on reddit and ran it the fnm before and played like a champ. If interested I can type up how it went more in detail I played ...

I played in a 5k TCG this weekend running the stock list and I felt it went pretty well. I ended up 7-2 placing 25th out of 320ish people. I also went into the tourny with zero byes where many people got 2 byes from tcg points. Rounds went as stated below 1: Red devotion 2-1 W The one loss was to un...

According to the tournament rules PDF, players are required to remember their own triggers and intentionally ignoring one is considered cheating.. A player is not required to remind an opponent about triggers the opponent controls (but at regular REL events it is encouraged). The warnings likely ha...

This is something I was never clear on. Say my opponent is running Ruric Thar, and i cast a spell and he lets it resolve without me taking 6 damage. Could i be given a game loss for ignoring the ruric thar trigger? As a note to the thread. Went 4-0 in a DE on Sat beating Mono u, rdw, Mono u splash w...

Narcasus

Any thoughts for Spiteful returned? It gives pseudo reach and hits for 3 for 2 mana. Plus bestow is relevant at 4 mana. I might test it over pack rat this friday as crazy as it sounds.

Narcasus

For an SCG open, what do you guys think the meta would be like there? I'm guessing it might be better to assume a heavier mono u and b meta there and run with the lists with 8 one drops?

Narcasus

If they are playing it card for card, you just want them to use all of their burn on your creatures and resolve a dragon that will be a nightmare for them to kill. The list from the GP holds no main or sideboard answers to dragon without a 2 for 1. i would consider holding your own burn for either Y...

Narcasus

played an 8 man with it, went 1-1. lost to red devotion. without anger, you have no outs to a nut draw. other than that,i felt like i had him besides such explosive starts like 3 BTE into nykthos into mogis.

Narcasus

Why do we care about opponent's haste dudes? Because there's that dragon which we cannot remove efficiently, so slowing it down helps us in the race. It also makes opposing phoenix less stellar since they will need to take a turn before they can block ours. What would you cut for it? Our sideboard ...

Narcasus

Played some tonight in the 2-man ques, went 4-1 with elricity's list shown on the previous page. One drops put in alot of damage in most games and were good blockers in the agro matchup. beat esper, monoblack devotion, AIR, and G/u devotion. Lost to GBW gain all the life deck. I was happy with the l...

As far as toil/ trouble goes, it is something i could test with switching toil with skullcrack in the board. I like the fact it becomes sign in blood late game though and has won me a few games going turn 3 7 damage, turn 4 5 damage. I think the biggest draw to me is it does something for me game on...

Narcasus

You also have scry from magma jet so its slightly better than your numbers as well. Do you feel you need to hit land 4 on turn 4?

Narcasus

I'm not saying you aren't playing enough lands, but be aware that "I haven't had any problems" is not sufficient reason to justify a lower land count. Use numbers. He asked for my list and questioned multiple 4 drops, i gave him my personal experiences with my list since that's all i have...

I have personally been playing two chandras mainboard lately and have loved her. Against agro, it lets me one for one all day and then slam a chandra as a must answer before i drown them in cards. Against control, i feel it gives me the extra reach and another, answer this card or i will throw burn ...

Narcasus

I would agree with the angers, they are a necessary and have really enjoyed them game 1 as well. On a fast start for an agro deck when you are on the draw, its near impossible to one for one them to death before you die yourself. At least thats the experience ive felt so far

Narcasus

How has guttersnipe been working for you? I like the fact i have so few cards decks can use their removal on and not sure i would like guttersnipe but i may have to test it. Did another 8 man last night, lost in the first round to MBD Game 1 was him turn 2 double thoughtsieze into turn 3 specter int...

Congratz to both raida and purp, still love this deck even though im having fun with the burn deck atm.

Narcasus

Played with my updated list i talked about in my last post in an 8 man. 2-0'd AIR MB anger won me game 1 hands down sparktrooper helped me stabilize on life game 2 Chandra was huge both games. 2-0'd MBC 7 dmg trouble plus pyro swinging in is a great start with some more burn and a chain for his 3 dr...

You mean i can light people on fire AND attack with dragons? i think I'm sold.

Quick thinking on a SB

Burning earth 2
Hammer 2
Anger of the gods 2
Chained 2
Mortars 2
Reckoners 4
assemble? 1

Narcasus

I would be interested as well. Currently have the cards for MBD and all red varients. I would be open to pitching in for some of the mono U as well. Name there is Narcasus

Narcasus

how relevant has the gauntlet been for you? working well as a one of? i havnt played with the card yet.

Narcasus

I think im ganna take this list for a spin this friday and see how it goes. I just need to pick up the blood crypts

Narcasus

how much would burning earth hurt you when you are running 13 dual lands yourself. Maybe you just dont care in the matchups you would play it in anyway.

Narcasus

Which matchups are you bringing in Madcap Skills if i may ask.

Narcasus

I have been testing that list some online, the R/W burn list. I found replacing the 3 Warleader's helix with Chandra' Pyromancer to be working better for me. This may be due to limited testing though.

Narcasus

You can honestly use the list notap posted and switch Ashley with emily if we really want BTE. That would give you the explosive draw possibilities while keeping most everything else the same.

Narcasus

Holy one drops batman. I can actually see this working though. You just mash guys on the board till they run out of 1 for 1 removal, then overload a guy with madcaps to get past their first blockers, or just make them not able to block. I am going to try to test this online when i get home from work.

Narcasus

Its a deck I've been wanting to test out and i might try to run something like it come this friday to test. Thoughts as far as running mutavaults in the list? maybe like 18 mountain and 2 mutavaults or 16-4 split maybe. Ill try to come up with a list to post along side this.

Narcasus

Anyone test last breath at all yet? I feel it has a lot of strength in the current meta for us. it hits the targets in mono blue and it also hits most targets in mono black. Best, they cant whip back what you last breath. I am thinking trying to shove 3 into the sideboard. My siding would be somethi...

Real quick post about my online adventures tonight before bed. Played in the thurs night magic online, ended up going 3-0. I faced g/w hexproof (Fuck this deck) , Mono black devotion, and some kind of blue black red control thing? I was running the standard list Series one was hexproof. Game one was...

Narcasus

I wanted to bring up something that i just thought of. Most mono red decks are starting to run peak eruption, especially against decks they think are going to be running chained to the rocks. Would it almost be better to bring in the boros charms over the extra chained. We lose answers to the opposi...

Narcasus

I faced a few aggro boros decks tonight online, I sided +4 Reckoners +4 Peak Eruption +2 chains +2 mortars, siding out my one drops and 4 shocks. You guys agree with this? i ended up blowing out one of them, baiting him into chaining my pheonix turn 3 and blowing it free turn 4.

Narcasus

The feeling of chaining their turn 4 demon is the best i must say. I can almost feel their rage as i swing through

Narcasus

I don't think there is a huge learning curve between the two Calamity. You get more scrys from the land and better answers main deck from chained and a better sideboard. If you can play a few games with it and get used to playing with 4 tap lands, i don't see why you wouldn't want to run boros
