I'm exSaito'd to try the list. Love me some frenzied goblin. Is there a whole bunch of new m15 saito lists somewhere, can anyone hook me up?

Toddington

Has anyone here tested with Jeff Hooglands URx FaerieDelver deck? I've found that Spellstutter Sprite is a lot better than YP$ in a lot of the common matchups.

Source/list?

Remember, red aggro won the SCG Open just last week. And the scg event before that one and the scg event before that one. Meanwhile straight monoB devotion and straight UW control were the only decks in the DC gp top 8. Me is just thinking that scg events are flooded with people playing JUST FOR FU...

Toddington

The effect seems very powerful against all (off the top of my head) the creature strategies in modern. Imposing sovereign is probably way more sensible though *sadface*

Toddington

Black/white and black/red temples? Manabase seems pretty tight mind... Magma jet seems underpowered compared to the other options. Horizon canopy? Chandra, pyromaster?

Toddington

Hey Ham (and anyone else), I'm sure you are at no loss for things to test, but how do you feel about Urabrask the Hidden ? In my reckoning, he is very good against resto, haste creatures, Finks & pod etc., whilst buying you an extra turn against twin. I know you tested some high end stuff like b...

Toddington

Can someone suggest why Bloodchief Ascension is better then Shrine of Burning Rage please? Thanks. Cheaper No activation cost Don't have to tap to use (Splinter Twin shenanigans?) Fetchlands hurt them (more) Good against Pod/Finks? Storm/Cantrip/Bauble hate? Scapeshift hate? (Valakut triggers will ...

Toddington

Shrine also has versatility. Not only does it signal to the control player that the end is nigh, it can also be used to kill pro-red things or just really big creatures. It adds inevitability to the deck. It has perfect synergy with the deck. While you are exhausting your resources to control the b...

Magus is in the MD for testing but It might be better to run 4 VD in the MD and 3 MotM (or 2 Blood Moon / 1 Shattering Spree) in the SB. Vexing Devil always feels great when you cast multiples back to back, or on consecutive turns. Seems to me that 4 or 0 is the right number MD. What are your thoug...

Toddington

You play Molten Rain, Shrine, and Mogg Fanatic to beat the bogeymen when you don't hit the nuts and win on turn 4. I get what you are saying, and I think I actually fall on this side of the argument (Molten Rain = Tempo + Screw), but surely if we didn't play these cards we get the nuts more often. ...

Play keldon megaliths. You haven't lived until you've killed 4 lingering souls tokens. And Magus of the moon is definitely a card I want to try in the future. I think I'd want a deck with 22 lands, for that and possibly flame javelin to compensate for a lower spell density. Megaliths hits creatures...

Toddington

Yeah, I gave it more thought and came to realizations. Conley Woods sums it up nicely in one of his videos. The two-drop slot was annoying me during deck construction, and Pack Rat is a good creature right? I like the idea of binning Cacklers etc. later on, but it's too slow. I've played with Underw...

Toddington

The beauty of this deck? So many interchangeable parts. Not bragging, but a lot of this is familiar territory for me. I've rocked almost every iteration of RDW in Modern imaginable since pre-RTR. It really was missing one key element: the Eidolon. I've been saying it for over a year. Although to He...

Toddington

Brain Maggot anyone? I have been testing it MB for a few days and now my control playtester refuses to play any more matches against the deck :P (TS + Duress + BM post-board is just game over) @Tyrael - What's the list were you maining Maggot in? I've seen a few online that cut the Lifebane/Specter...

Toddington

Ok, thanks a bunch guys. I'm playing this deck this week, hopefully will get some insight from FNM.

Has everyone jumped ship from Mono-Black, I know B/g received a lot of hype? I tried B/r, and enjoyed Dreadbore and Rakdos's Return a fair bit.

Toddington

Ok cool, some follow-up questions; 1. Are playsets of both Zombie and Specter accepted in the 75? 2. SB Connections out against non-control decks? 3. A lot of lists run (ran?) 2 Drown in Sorrow, necessary? 4. Is Whip good anywhere else, grindy match-ups? 5. I really am not fond of Bile Blight atm, a...

Why do people not like Pack Rat in MBA?

Toddington

Hey guys, I'm looking to pick up this deck after playing MBA. I feel MBA is very powerful, but in a meta where 1-drops are bad (Green + Aggro) this is just better. Here's a list I threw together; [deck]Creature (18) 4x Desecration Demon 4x Gray Merchant of Asphodel 3x Lifebane Zombie 3x Nightveil Sp...

Spark Burn makes me a bit hot under the collar.

Toddington

I like Ash Zealot over Geopede, Hatebear RDW FTW.

Toddington

Yeah, +1 on the Maggot. Sweet card, the discard package for Black at the moment is awesome.

Toddington

Seems like a cool list. With regards to the mana, you include all of the dorks as well, not just land, so it seems your mana is fine? You say Time of Need fetches Nykthos, but it only fetches creatures. I like this deck. It's obviously combo-riffic, but sometimes you get a turn 3 titan and win like ...

Xathrid Red testing list with rough sideboard; Creature (27) 4x Ash Zealot 4x Burning-Tree Emissary 4x Rakdos Shred-Freak 4x Prophetic Flamespeaker 4x Xathrid Necromancer 3x Purphoros, God of the Forge 4x Stormbreath Dragon Planeswalker (1) 1x Chandra, Pyromaster Enchantment (1) 1x Hammer of Purphor...

Toddington

I didn't consider Rakdos's Return, because I assumed this deck would be more interested in getting it's beaters through. I feel like this deck can play whatever in the flex, what I'm more interested in is if Necromancer has a seat.

Toddington

Hey guys, some of the seasoned Red Devotion players may want to shout at me, but hear me out. Can we play Xathrid Necromancer in Rb Devotion lists? The core I'm proposing is; [deck] Creature (26) 4x Ash Zealot 4x Burning-Tree Emissary 4x Rakdos Shred-Freak 4x Prophetic Flamespeaker 4x Xathrid Necrom...

Toddington

If I were going to play a Weenie red deck in a block tournament, here's what I'd play. The sideboard is up in arms, the only card I'm 100% on is Eidolon of the Great Revel . You want 4 copies of that bad boy in the relevant match-ups. Creature (23) 4x Akroan Crusader 4x Arena Athlete 4x Firedrinker ...

Toddington

Firedrinker Satyr is in the board cuz I was expecting a lot of aggressive decks (I faced Naya aggro, Mono Green Aggro, Naya Midrange and Jund Monsters) so I never really ended up needing them anyway but they are there for the control matchup, obviously

But you have 4 in the main as well right?

Toddington

I personally play 17 and that seems to be the sweet spot (or 17 + 1 vault) Agreed, 17/18 seems right. Everflame Eidolon is really underwhelming imo Really wanted this card to be good, this isn't the deck for it. Maybe play just a few? I'd rather run Arena Athlete along with Madcap Skills to make th...

[deck]Creature (28) 4x Akroan Crusader 4x Eidolon of the Great Revel 4x Everflame Eidolon 4x Firedrinker Satyr 4x Mogis's Warhound 4x Nyxborn Rollicker 4x Satyr Hoplite Instant (4) 4x Titan's Strength Sorcery (3) 3x Blinding Flare Enchantment (4) 4x Dragon Mantle Artifact (1) 1x Hall of Triumph Land...

Toddington

I made Top 8 at the SCG Wisconsin States today, playing Rw Devo. I'll post details once I decompress.

Nice work! Looking forward to the report.

Toddington

The 1/1 after Rollicker bestow is mostly irrelevant, I think Ordeal of Purphoros is better in the 2-drop Heroic enabler slot. Coordinated Assault is best when you throw Arena Athlete into the mix with the 1-drop Heoric dudes. I've gone off [card]Titan's Strength[/card], but Coordinated Assault doesn...

Toddington

Eidolon of Rhetoric has solved all of my Storm woes. It's worth paying 1 more for the extra toughness then? And the 1 power is better than Rule of Law ? Sorry if I'm stating the obvious, the only discussion I've heard about the card is how you can pod into it. It seems like a reasonable alternative...

Toddington

I am so on the fence about Rollicker. It's reasonable Heroic trigger, and fine on a Flamespeaker. The whole point of bestow is that you get value when the enchanted creatures dies. The body has to be relevant though, and a don't think a 1/1 is ever value...

Toddington

For what it's worth, Prophetic Flamespeaker should enable some stupid turns if it connects. It's obviously a worse body than Reckoner, and this deck might not be able to force it through. I think I'm gonna try R/b, for the sweet anti-control sideboard options. The hardest matchups for me were the on...
