Dies to Removal

Took down the 2nd gameday in a row with burn

Shame next game day it won't be here anymore v_v

NotARobot

"I sorted the playlist so that it plays from 1st game down to 4th automatically. Is that better, worse, or just doesn't matter?"

Best way to do it IMO

NotARobot

MDU I never see you in the dailies, do you get there on just 8 man queues? I was purely playing DE for almost a month - I don't get listed because I'm Australian and app. the Asian Pacific peek hour doesn't matter :shrug: that said for next few months I'll be just on 8-Man's again due to time const...

NotARobot

No chains main? I just see that getting wrecked too easily, specially vs mono black and blue.

NotARobot

Also if you have time to jot down the new deck list I'd love to take a look! I'm still trying to tune my sideboard for gameday, can't say I'm a huge fan of dancers either.

NotARobot

YP + charm indestructible is my favorite blowout against agro decks

Probably the most satisfying play for me

NotARobot

Do you guys think flames of the firebrand is too slow vs these rabble decks? I'm considering bringing it back in because I'm seeing more NVS from mbd and it seems pretty sweet vs agro...

NotARobot

Another article about the PT decks... don't agree with what they said about the burn deck at all. http://magic.tcgplayer.com/db/article.asp?ID=11968 "Boros Burn is also relatively straightforward compared to most decks in Standard, and while it can change roles between control and aggro, it's m...

NotARobot

Dang he got me game 3. That deck is stupidly fast.

NotARobot

Ah post board I embarassed the guy and he disconnected

I'm liking having firedancers in the board, the online meta seems really nice against them

NotARobot

Man rabble red can be pretty tough to beat. Its rough getting turn 5 killed consistently x_x

NotARobot

I like the firedrinkers vs control, also could see going back to eidolons of the revel in the sideboard, since those are nice and punishing vs certain decks as well.

NotARobot

Just had to share this screencap... we all know his feels at that moment

NotARobot

I dont think cutting chains from the main is right... dont you just straight lose to monoblack that way? demon into merchant is just unstoppable without putting yourself at massive card disadvantage then they just draw out?

NotARobot

UW is the right deck for you if you hate magic and fun and want everyone else to hate it too

NotARobot

Ugh and then I run into hexproof. I hate when dailies start off so promising then it dumps you into your 2 worst matchups.

NotARobot

I'm having trouble with UW today. Guess they saw the PT decks and all of the sudden its back to 4x fiendslayers and 4x flares postboard... very annoying v_v

My list is definitely weak to control, I wish I could shore up that matchup some more

NotARobot

Haven't been able to watch the pt at all. Anyone representing burn there?

NotARobot

Eh I finally got a chance to play flamespeaker against GW agro last night and it was a house. First strike puts every single one of our spells in kill range, the only thing that gets out of hand is unflinching courage, but they don't run the hexproof stuff so its not too hard to find an answer. And ...

NotARobot

Where are you seeing his game?

NotARobot

I'm not sold on pillar vs mono u, but I've been struggling with that matchup so maybe I'm wrong... I guess it's a decent answer to out of control cloudfin or an active thassa...

NotARobot

Alright leaving for SCG Dallas tomorrow. Anyone has any tweaks for this list? (Especially sideboard) It's pretty standard, but I want to make sure I'm not missing anything obvious. I guess it's just last minute nerves. http://i.imgur.com/Qt7pUuV.jpg I would cut the guildgate for a scryland or a for...

NotARobot

I mean theres always the chance they kept a shit hand, get screwed in one way or another, ect. I never scoop for that kind of reason.

NotARobot

I don't think you should ever cut phoenix vs black. It just provides too much utility, eats up their removal, is fantastic to hold down demon. And you'd be surprised how few people block with nvs when you swing in with a phoenix. Searing blood is a real card they're afraid of, and usually play aroun...

NotARobot

Jumped in a standard daily yesterday and 3-1, was surprised to realize they are still paying out jbt. Are they switching to m15 pay outs anytime soon?

NotARobot

Why do they ALWAYS have 2 or 3 BTE every time...

NotARobot

Sounds like its pretty much already over for the burn player... I would probably ignore the Jace though.

NotARobot

I like YP with Boros Charm for indestructible, that ends most games instantly.

This is pretty much my favorite play against any agro deck, they never seem to see it coming. I'm always a little worried I'll get blown out, but like 90% of the time its fine and works great

NotARobot

Against blue it stops evolve, tidebinder, and master. Kind of a shoe-in imo

NotARobot

Yeah it's apparent to me that stoke will almost always be a 4 mana spell, we'll pretty much never be convoking it. I'm still sticking with it in the main over mortars though because I love that I can dome someone with it if I have nothing better to kill.

NotARobot

Hmm. I feel like boarding out skullcrack but then bringing in hushwing is kind of odd. You're conceding that you don't care about their garys when you remove the cracks, but then you bring in a 2/1 that only affects gary, dies to all their spells, can't be recurred, and gets nabbed by lbz. I think h...

NotARobot

I really disagree with the pillar vs mono blue plan.. Do you really want to sideboard a card to inefficiently deal with fbw 90% of the time?

NotARobot

Oh yeah for sure only bring in flame speaker if you don't see caryatids

NotARobot

I didn't go up against any straight green in the open, but I did board him in against the 5th place naya agro deck. Don't really have much feedback there. Game one I flooded out pretty hard. Brought in the pillar, flamespeaker, and mortars for game two. I kept a kept a decent hand, but he chained my...

NotARobot

I think I might go down to one Chandra in the board to make room for a second hushwing.

NotARobot

Looks good mdu! I think you'll find that you don't take much damage from the forges overall. Usually you'll be tapping them for colorless, in my testing so far it usually never was more than a shock. I still think it's far superior to guildgates or confluence.

NotARobot

Are you running assemble in the board?

NotARobot

Magic, where the fanbase accepts that writers post bad decklists for marginal gain.

cough traviswoo cough

NotARobot

Hmm I'm not a fan of searing blood in the sideboard. We're already well positioned against the decks that searing blood is good against, I'd rather throw in stuff that gives me better game against my weaker match ups.
