I've been playing 3 lavamancers maindeck for months now and they never disappointed me. I also tested 4 atarka's command and 4 boros charm main deck and came to the conclusion that going full 3 color requires too much damage from fetching (i already knew it, but every time they spoil a good new card...

I think you are a bit paranoid about showers ... i mean , i really think showering every single day is excessive. But maybe it has to do with other factors (sweating for example differs from person to person). When i played football i trained 4 times a week and obviously always showered and i was lo...

GoblinWarchief

i didn't have a shower since tuesday .... should i hesitate to walk out of my home ?

GoblinWarchief

Showering everyday is unhealthy for skin and hair (for whoever said it). once every 2 days is better

Todd made eleventh place at the open. His list is basically what i am playing except - 4 seekers , - 1 ojutai, +3 fodders, +1 raise the alarm, + 1 jeskai charm. The big question is if its worth it to play real creatures main deck or just go all in on the tokens, and honestly i don't see any reason t...

If i played rakdos i'm sure i would want 4 thoughtseize alongside rabblemaster and pitiless horde. Stripping a removal spell from their hand then jamming one of them could win a lot of games and could even make maindecking a couple duress acceptable. I have some issues finding a decent 2 drop though...

I think the 4 eidolons main deck slots could be used for something else ( ire shaman, mardu scout, dragon whisperer.... ). Also 4 zurgo and 4 berserkers seems a bit too much, maybe 3 zurgo 3 berserkers 2 firedrinker satyr is better. Another possibility is just playing all the one drops because they'...

GoblinWarchief

I will build zurgo as soon as i have time because i must have a mono red deck for every format.

I am playing Ezuri in tiny leaders but i miss gaea's cradle, i will have to buy it at some points because it is the best card in the deck by a wide margin. Anyway deck is a bomb even without cradle unless every opponent is packing tons of sweepers

GoblinWarchief

Congrats for the result ! I strongly agree with shard volley as a one-of. It's always the last card you play (unless you absolutely need to kill something and don't have other removal), but the fact that it costs 1 rather than 2 can win games ..... mana efficiency is absurdly important in burn. I th...

GoblinWarchief

I had mastery of the unseen at fate reforged prerelease and it was absurd there .... i supposed that it could have been decent in standard, but i didn't imagine it would have become such a monstrosity. Good for me that i also have an ugin's fate promo.

GoblinWarchief

Guys, aren't you worried about the new black enchantment that gives all tokens -2 -2 ? I would stay away from a token strategy, because if it does well people will just start sideboarding that thing and it will be a nightmare.

GoblinWarchief

Well currently channelfireball is hiring a guy that was disqualified years ago and is currently a cheater so there is hope for everyone.

GoblinWarchief

Wow, i'm running well with burn. yesterday i won a 20 people event and took home a gp foil goblin guide(because the deck wanted it) and a geist of saint traft (because i don't know, i may play him in sideboard one day). This is the list i'm using recently . [deck]4 Goblin Guide 4 Monastery Swiftspea...

By local events i mean fnm level or even non sanctioned events, although people i know saw him cheating in a recent PTQ. I know the best solution would just be catch him cheating and call a judge, but in the meantime i could inform someone so that at least he is controlled when he plays at high prof...

Although i don't know james as well as most of you, i'm very sorry for what happened. All i want to say is that it can happen... it shouldn't, but it can. And since it is the first time he must be forgived, everyone deserve a second chance. This episode though is encouraging me to move on in regard ...

Mono red always wins the first game(you lose only if you only draw lands, or you draw triple same one drop and it gets bile blighted). Then your opponent basically HAS to draw drown in sorrow in both games 2 and 3, and even if he draws it it's beatable because you can play around it especially with ...

GoblinWarchief

Just play mono red, they can't beat decks with 12 1 drops + many burn spells. I play mono red now for the same reason.

GoblinWarchief

Red now has its own (very shitty) sphinx's revelation : Commune with Lava

GoblinWarchief

Last fnm every opponent i faced had burn hate .... despite this i won and took home a scalding tarn. The only game i lost was against an esper build that cast a one of phyrexian unlife against me ... that card is extremely difficult to beat because it gains ten life for 3 mana and is not affected by...

GoblinWarchief

Watanabe's list should be this (from a reddit thread) : 4 Goblin Rabblemaster 4 Soulfire Grand Master 3 Citadel Siege 4 Jeskai Ascendancy 4 Wild Slash 4 Treasure Cruise 4 Raise the Alarm 4 Hordeling Outburst 4 Stoke the Flames 1 Valorous Stance 3 Battlefield Forge 3 Shivan Reef 3 Flooded Strand 2 Te...

GoblinWarchief

I would like to see watanabe's list from gp miami but i can't find it anywhere.... i only know he played 3 maindeck citadel sieges.

GoblinWarchief

I don't know if your comment is negative, but this sounds to me like an healthy and fun format.

GoblinWarchief

I like your list a lot khaos. maindeck I would just go 4 seekers 2 grand masters although i am tempted to play 3/3 too as i said. Also i think pilgrim could be valorous stance (so you also free up a sideboard slot) or just the 4th wild slash , but i know you love pilgrim so probably you should just ...

GoblinWarchief

Mine is obviously just a speculation, but i think this card is really good and doubt any dragon as good as this will be printed in dragons of tarkir. I mean, in a red/black aggro deck this is almost as strong as thundermaw hellkite as a curve topper. The upside is that he pumps your team, the downsi...

GoblinWarchief

Wow , Zurgo is good. Also he is a new commander for mono red aggro.

GoblinWarchief

Atarka's Command is clearly better than skullcrack because it circumvents leyline of can't touch me (EACH opponent), and if the opponent is not gaining life you can just choose 3 to the face + pump my team that can represent a lot of damage especially with swiftspear. The only concern i have is that...

GoblinWarchief

Another random thought : if you decide to play 4 outpost sieges, as stark mentioned you are playing sort of a control deck. He said that dragon is not a good/necessary card in a deck able to create so much card advantage, also because if you tap out turn 4 to play siege, you will need to hit spells ...

GoblinWarchief

Actually the "hybrid" deck that khaos posted in something that i'm considering since some days. The real debate since stark's list has been playing grandmasters or playing dragon. I liked grand master a lot immediately when it was printed, because it's a decent early drop that can take ove...

GoblinWarchief

Peak eruption is obviously good in the mirror. I think it is ok to run 2 of them in sideboard now that this deck is very popular.

GoblinWarchief

I just acquired four kolaghans for basically nothing .... this card looks like the new aggro dragon of choice when stormbreath rotates out. People are not gonna play four sarkhans because of legend rule, so if rakdos will be remotely viable as a color combination and they don't print/reprint any cra...

GoblinWarchief

Well, it is almost a year that i don't take this deck to an event, but l remember one of the worst matchups was pod that now doesn't exist. Other problematic cards like forked bolt and electrolyze now see very few play. The jund matchup was good so junk is probably good although they have access to ...

GoblinWarchief

Jack : i don't like 3 mana spells maindeck, but i have 2 flames in my sideboard. At the moment they come in mostly against abzan but they are for any deck with lifegain. I don't think playing flames against an opponent with no lifegain is worth it. Platypus : as a rule of thumb, always play out your...

GoblinWarchief

I really don't understand why people keep saying that variance doesn't exist in magic. It's not true that all losses are your fault and you could always have done better decisions. Sometimes you lose because your deck just implodes . The real challenge is accepting variance and understanding that yo...

GoblinWarchief

Well, we are also talking of a 3 drop vs a 4 drop. If you choose brimaz over phoenix you can afford to play more chandras/sieges.

GoblinWarchief

That game left a mark in my teenage years... that's probably why i'm posting in a forum like this

GoblinWarchief

Final Fantasy VII is the best RPG ever if you ask me. No woman will ever match tifa's boobs

GoblinWarchief

I'm not convinced , he is way more effective if cast on curve because it can perpetually stop attacks from creatures and it gains life from every spell cast after him. That's why i don't like him : if you cast him early you are taking a lot of damage to do so (supposing you have access to double whi...

I won the mat too, playing latest mono red list from tom ross. I was on r/w, but since the store is full of U/B control i switched to mono red and crushed them all (despite most of them playing maindeck bile blights and at least 3 drown in sorrow and 3 jorubai murk lurker in side).

GoblinWarchief

Why should we keep in all searing blood and 2 wild slashes against abzan midrange? isn't it better to just keep the denizens in ?
