Dies to Removal

Toddington

Dictate seems poopbutts in Burn, why is it even being considered? Especially over Stormbreath vs. UW It doesn't do anything until the second Burn spell (because you wasted a card casting Dictate, which could have been a Burn spell), and costs 5. It's a bit different with creatures (YP$ and tokens) i...

Toddington

I don't think I'd ever main it, but it seems amazing against the creature decks.

Toddington

Do you find yourself Harnessing for 6(+) a lot? Seems sweet if so.

Toddington

@Toddington Curious what you'd run for a sideboard with that deck looks solid for an all in deck. I've been thinking about it, and I reckon there's some matchups where Madcap Skills isn't what you want to be doing. I think I'd consider a 1-of Purphoros in the board, but that might be loose. A Chand...

Toddington

One thing I was never short of playing Devo was 2-drops, I thought 12 was plenty. Chandra was always good for me, whereas Purphoros is a big fat do nothing in a lot of games. He's a good man, not sure I'd ever want the second though. Maybe 24 land is right, but I cut see cutting the Zealots and a Pu...

Toddington

Cool! So EotGR replaces Ash Zealot in Rx Devotion now? Traditionally Rw Devotion played 25 land, how was 24? How was the non-creature package (Gods, Hammer, Chandra etc.)? The 1/2/2 split looks good. Does Iroas have a place? How was the removal package? I haven't been following developments on Rw De...

Toddington

that deck really feels like it should have foundry street denizen and BTE in it =/

The other list on the link is a more typical RDW build. That might just be better, but I wanna test the Heroic aspect. I think Satyr Hoplite is pretty good without much help

Toddington

For those of you who don't read LSV's mothership column, he's posted some Prophetic Flamespeaker brews. I'll be sleeving this up for the next chance I get to play. Creatures (27) 4 Akroan Crusader 4 Firedrinker Satyr 3 Mogis's Warhound 4 Nyxborn Rollicker 4 Prophetic Flamespeaker 4 Rakdos Cackler 4 ...

Toddington

TL:DR, don't play Burn, do play Mono-Black?

Purphoros is pretty dumb in 2HG.

Toddington

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bmn6IzOCUAAm4QD.jpg:large I'm super excited to play a deck like that. My next brew was going to be 4 Desecration Demon + 4 Stormbreath Dragon, so it may as well be this. The fact that Prophetic Flamespeaker made the cut gives me the heebley-jeeblies, I'm super excited to...

Toddington

Would it be better to go more midrange as Saito purposes with Keyrunes and RRs?

Can you link to this please? I heard Keyrune and RR in the same sentence and got excited.

Toddington

The ones where you need to win more

Toddington

Balls deep.

Toddington

The biggest danger with Flamespeaker is if your opponent is smart and/or lucky, he can hold off until after you reveal the first card or two and use his removal before the damage step ends and keep you from casting any sorcery speed effects that it revealed. Can someone (a judge) clarify this? Are ...

Toddington

Hypnotic Siren - Am I reading this right that it is a 1 mana Domestication, with improvements?

You have to bestow it on their dude to take control, if you cast it normally it's a 1/1 flier.

Toddington

Erebos doesn't seem horrendous, but if you want to play Specter you'd have to cut back on Mutavaults. This deck already has so much going on at 3CMC, Specter doesn't seem better than Lifebane Zombie/Mogis's Marauders/Herald of Torment in an aggro deck.

Toddington

MBA is the deck I'm going to be on post-rotation. I love the 12 one drops, and have high hopes for Brain Maggot, but this deck is seriously clunky at 3CMC. You can't treat Herald as a 5 drop all the time... I think voltroning up a Lifebane Zombie is going to be sweet, Gnarled Scarhide does a lot of ...

Toddington

But, not to nitpick, Flame Javelin does trigger the Eidolon's ability. It's CMC 3 or less. From Gatherer, "A card with monocolored hybrid mana symbols in its mana cost has a converted mana cost equal to the highest possible cost it could be cast for. Its converted mana cost never changes. Thus...

Toddington

Trolololololololol

Toddington

With regards to the Eidolon of Blossoms deck, isn't Mana Bloom where you want to be? Ramp early, Whispers of the Muse later on?

Toddington

Yo Ham, have you ever tried a miser's Isochron Scepter in a list with 4 Bolt/Path/Helix? Trying to decide whether it's jank or not.

Toddington

Bestowing it in MBA seems legit, I guess some Dos Rakis lists have played Herald? It's super bad against YP$.

Toddington

Child of Night > Burn

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. Have you tested it?

Toddington

I spent the rest of the morning jamming mono red mana sink deck wins and trolling kids with Blood Moon.

Lists or it didn't happen.

Toddington

I'm considering that creature base too. Can it be run off 21 land? Or is Herald still where we want to be? I think I want 22 if I'm going for 4 Herald. 21 land and a random one of Herald?

Toddington

Any reason why you aren't playing Magus of the Moon aswell? Gotta have that sweet redundancy.

Toddington

Dictate of the Twin Gods requires you have spells to cast after you resolve it. The first spell doubled after it doesn't count, because Dictate didn't do anything by itself. I'm not certain doubling the effect of all spells (and opposing creatures...) after the second one cast on turn 6 (at the earl...

Toddington

That is a very cool list. Very interesting to see how the list has changed from page 1.

Toddington

Is Purphoros better than Chandra?

Granted YP$ and Phoenix are great with Purphoros, but you have you have one of them or he does nothing, ever. Chandra is much more consistent in what she does, and forces a reaction.

In this deck, Purphoros is inconsistent and win-more?

Toddington

Assemble the Legion is a thing, so we know clunky 5-drops can work in the right matchups.

I'd be interested to see what this deck looks like with Blue, I'm not convinced it's worth it though.

Toddington

I don't wanna get too off topic here, but does anyone reckon there could be like a superfriends deck, but with gods instead of planeswalkers? Keranos does it all, with back up from Thassa and Mogis. This combination of gods gives you a curve! All three of them get devotion from Frostburn Weird and N...

Toddington

Just because some builds have started running a few Black lands, I don't think that's a green light to go throwing in Black cards willy-nilly.

Toil // Trouble isn't a Black card, you'll never be unable to cast it because you didn't draw one of your 4 - 8 Black sources.

Toddington

Prophetic Bolt is so getting reprinted this set, calling it now. It fits the lore of Keranos from the planeswalkers guide.

I know it's a creature, but I like Frostburn Weird for master synergy. He fits the deck's plan too, control (3/X's) till you can go into the kill phase.

Toddington

I have fused MANY Toil // Trouble this week. My favourite is the "value" fuse where you deal them like 1-2 damage only, but you draw 2 cards and get back a Phoenix.

That's basically Cruel Ultimatum.

Toddington

He has a fat butt, so a solid Aura target. He's good in creature mirrors, and is a mana sink when you have nothing else. Attacking through Caryatid is pretty much how I decide if a creature is good nowadays. I dislike Ash and BTE in the same deck, and Ash is soooo good here. I don't hate Gore-House ...

Toddington

Do you think you'd ever want to cast an un-Bestowed Eidolon? I could totally get behind BTE if that's something we want to do.
