Dies to Removal

Chandra seemed shitty constantly in a world of midrange. Last season we boarded her in for aggro and control and its even more midrange than ever before so I think thats where she belongs. I wanted removal against green constantly, Pillar and Reprisal are certainly options alongside Disdainful Stro...

This is what I've been playing with: ~~deck~~ I've played around with both Rabble and Brimaz versions and so far I've preferred Brimaz, but I could see running either until the meta shapes up. Jace has been a nice 4 drop but I still need to play more games with it. The ultimate in theory should be ...

When the prerelease events start, does standard switch to KTK?

Whole

Rabblemaster's problem for me is that it can't get around random 2/x (Courser, random 1 drop creatures, Fleecemane) and randomly dies to aggro hate like Bile Blight, Strike, Magma Spray, ect. Brimaz gets around all of that.

Whole

While I like the flash, I'm not such a big fan of the drop in power level. I'm really not high on rabbles though. It's not like he's bad, cause he's not, but I feel we can do better.

I think Brimaz is where we want to be in that spot. He's been excellent for me.

Whole

Well I think 1-2 sideboard (~3 if you're really trying to metagame) is great...I'm just very skeptical of it main.

Whole

Maindeck Hushwing Gryff seems pretty weak when against anything not Junk or Green Devotion. (And isn't most of green devotion etb sideboarded?) I was toying around with the idea, but when compared alongside Mantis Rider, it just seemed bad.

Whole

I want to, but I got a Standard tournament that day. Sorry

Whole

When i first started playing & brewing UWR decks similar to the ones discussed in this thread (more or less after Mantis Rider was spoiled), I was trying her out as a 1 and 2 of. She is simply win-more. The deck isn't very creature dense, and you typically want to tap out for creatures asap than...

Whole

LP I definitely think you're right about Brimaz. I reached the same conclusions. My deck I posted above got me to split the finals of a playset tournament (so 2x each card in khans & $100), and I think I would not have got there if it was Rabblemaster instead. The main thing that drew me to Brim...

I'm playing a slower list than you with Keranos main, and I'm actually looking to move him to the board. I find he is either really good or kind of useless. Against grindy midrange matchups & control...and I guess the mirror, he is amazing. But it feels really bad to draw him against Green devot...

just saw this on modophotos on facebook. GJ MDU!

ROFL. in the comments someone says, "What combo did you use?"

"Forked bolt + Magic Online"

Whole

I tried Jace in similar lists and I felt the mana was too stretched. Seems like wanting white and red turn 2 into eventual RR spells leaves little room for UU. (besides Dig Through Time, but that is a much later game spell anyway) Admittedly, I'm playing Brimaz over Rabblemaster, so that might be why

Whole

Moved to News and Rumors. Yay cards I'm never gonna get!

thanks. wasn't sure if it was appropriate to post it there or not. (seems like the thread is copied though, not moved?)

Yawn, Brain Maggor & Fanatic of Xenagos...then I scrolled down

I'm pretty hyped.

Whole

Don't always run out Rabblemaster mainphase 1 to get a token either. I saw Tom Ross mainphase 2 a Rabblemaster tons of times versus Mono Black to force them to use removal on a 1 or 2 drop.

Some people keep saying JTMS and BBE should be unbanned in modern. I don't play modern much so I don't know how stupid or sensible that statement sounds.

My dream is to be able to casually hold 200 boosters. #nooblife

I played a 3 game match with my UWR midrange brew, and the white Prowess Bear that got lifelink performed really well. With 1 burn spell, it can eat courser and trade up to Polukranos. Very solid 2 drop for what my deck is trying to do.

Whole

Didn't realize this thread was active. Guess I should browse more than the burn thread lol. I missed out on things like "I believe we can scrap up at least 3 Burn decks" it seems.

@MDU, can't help you on the VMA Sealed thing either btw

Whole

Just had the pleasure of someone siding in Peak Eruption in the mirror. Haven't had that happen to me since like the start of JOU? Geez it's so brutal. Was right after I scried a mountain that I thought I wouldn't need to the bottom.

Whole

I'll really miss being able to drop game 1 vs Rabble Red and still feel 85% confident that I'll win the match. #BorosBurnProblems

Whole

Rabblered is the most popular deck on MTGO now according to MTGoldfish. Guess I'll get as many tix as I can before rotation

Whole

So everyone knows burn won't be a thing, but maybe the Mono Red Control deck (that we always wanted burn to be) will be possible.

Didn't realize they were doing some sort of standard championship event on mtgo. I haven't been grinding MTGO for a month, so I don't have a feel for the metagame. How have y'all been adjusting to it, and how is it in general? Top 6 decks are Mono U, B/W, RabbleRed, Walkers, MonoBlack, and Burn acco...

I wish my UW control opponents would lead with Island-Mutavault-Island-Go to Discard

Whole

After playing EotGR in Rabble Red, I'm solid on my position that it is bad in burn. People leave in enough removal spells versus Burn to stave off a few Phoenix hits, deal with Young Pyro ASAP, and take care of Mutavaults. (Usually because they have worse cards to take out anyway) Adding Eidolon doe...

I just did the most broken shit vs GW aggro. I was on the draw. Turn 2 Young Pyromancer. He untaps and plays a turn 3 Fleecemane Lion, so his board is Soldier of the Pantheon, 2/2 Experiment One (He played Soldier turn 1...number of plausible reasons the Exp. One is a 2/2), and a Fleecemane Lion. Un...

Whole

That might be why you think Rabble Red is hard. The indestructible mode is merely okay, but I always try to side out 4x Skullcrack and at least 3x Boros Charm vs aggro because you never want to draw 2 Charms against them. Even then I usually take out 4x Charm, 4x Skullcrack, and some number of Phoen...

R9 - Rabble Red I kept what would be a solid hand against any other deck in game 1 (2x Crack, 2x Charm, Searing Blood, 2 land) but can't stabilize in time since I had so little creature removal. Game 2 was yet another Satyr Firedancer show. Game 3 was rough. He plays triple BTE but I start to stabi...

Got 16th in the MOCS Season 8 Finals. I'd like to thank y'all for all the help with playing Boros Burn. Without this thread, I probably wouldn't have a competent list or even be a good enough player to get the 35 QPs.

MDU why are you running Firedancer over something like Mizzium Mortars? I don't see the benefit asides from interaction with Searing Blood, but I don't think those matchups need that much help. @Elricity, yea I've never been super impressed with Hushwing. It's a good option to have if the meta calls...

if you're referring to the Donald Smith poster, yea that's me.

Whole

What build are you running? I think WW and Rabblered are free wins, and while Mono Blue isn't easy, I'd say it's 50/50 or even slightly favored towards us and can be a matchup that leaves you a lot of room to just sequence better than your opponent.

Whole

Gerry Thompson just wrote an article on "Burning Control." At first he said "The issue with Burn is that its clock is relatively slow. When paired against an opponent playing a fast creature deck, Burn will probably find that it's much slower." and I was getting a little excited....

Whole

It seems that anything less than 4 Magma Jets is wrong X_X. I feel that the scry 2 is so crucial to the deck to either hit the necessary lands on curve or to prevent flooding in the mid to late game.
