True. I actually slow rolled the shit out of my game 1 vs Jund Walkers (had like 8 points of burn when he was at 4 or something) because I needed more info off his Courser. He only had Xenagos, main deck Rakdos Return, Courser, assorted removal and Dorks up to that point so I had to know if he just ...

I feel bad for that GW player, he was just getting wrecked at every corner. I forgot what game it was, but when I swung in with all the elementals to bait an Advent so I could Chain it main phase 2 was brutal. Sure I'll trade 2 free 1/1s for a Voice Token and an Advent. I have a soft spot for GW bec...

Hmm Flamespeaker vs Reprisal vs Pillar is interesting. I do want to make that change, but I'm not sure what I want. Both are good against GW, but Flamespeaker is good vs mono blue and small aggro while Reprisal / Pillar is good vs Green Devotion, Mono Black, and Orzhov Control. I guess I could do Pi...

It's just that I never got around to testing the matchup in general. I was spending the past few months shoring up Jund and then Mono Blue and kind of only now realized that straight UW is a problem after a few MTGO games and local tournament games (no one at my LGS plays straight UW). So I kind of ...

@MDU, I notice in one game, you eot Magma Jet and see Phoenix and T//T (and you have a 3rd untapped source). You chose to put the Phoenix on top instead of T//T. I would've put T//T on top and went for a 6 damage T//T. So do you typically hold T//T and have it act as your extra answers to Rev (kind ...

Flamespeaker vs control? Seems that he just gets shut off by Jace or walled by Ram. You do have to make it a priority to kill Jace (it's already a priority regardless of what you do) but Ram isn't an issue since it dies to any 3-4 point burn spell. Mind you, I haven't personally gotten the plan to ...

Having trouble with U/W Control. This is my list: http://i.imgur.com/Qt7pUuV.jpg Currently my sideboard plan is usually +2 Chandra, +4 T//T, +1 Banishing Light with -2 Chained (leaving 1 mainboard), -3 Helix, -2 Shock. Is this wrong or are there better cards to board in against them or is it just ho...

I was thinking. We're always talking about how we board into a control deck, but would it be reasonable to have our maindeck be a control deck and board into an aggressive deck against control? Seems like it'd make our game against control significantly better because it seems that a lot of our side...

is Prophetic Flamespeaker good in the mirror? I was thinking of having Toil // Trouble on the play and Prophetic Flamespeaker on the draw for the mirror. Also, since I have no testing with this card yet, is there any matchups that he is good in besides aggro decks, Mono Blue, and possibly burn? I wa...

@Whole: I like what you have said so far. Not much to add on my part except that I dont like Mutavault in the side, been color screwed too many times since I'm running 2 temple of silence. 4th mizziums is fine, especially if you are expecting more Mono U. About the flamespeakers. Id be anxious abou...

Just had a guy quit on turn 3 of the second game of the last round of an 8 man after throwing around a lot of noob and scrub in the chat box because of playing burn. I had mulled to five as well. I laughed to myself and considered it a win against Naya Planeswalkers with the Ghitu bird token fella ...

So at GP Chicago , the top 8 was 5/8 Mono Black (or B/G) Devotion. So I'm expecting a rise in Mono Black, and while I'm comfortable in the matchup, is there anything really good we can board in against them. This is my sideboard currently (basically Shouta's maindeck): [deck] Sideboard 2 Chandra Pyr...

So I'm playing the burn mirror and this guy brings in Spark Trooper (saw it game 2). We're on game 3. My hand is Shock, Chained to the Rocks, Lightning Strike, Skullcrack and Chandra's Phoenix. I have 5 lands untapped, he has 4 untapped (all fixing is met). We're both at 16 life. I play Phoenix, att...

So I was testing vs Boss Sligh, and a kind of interesting decision point came up. It was post board and I managed to stabilize at 9 life. I was on 3 lands (1 muta, 1 foundry, 1 mountain), and my hand was Temple, Chandra's Phoenix, Chandra, Sacred Foundry, and Warleader's Helix. My opponent had an As...

I actually completely forgot about Blind Obedience. I'm trying to find out tech for Jund/RG Monsters (and get some help in the mirror), and Blind Obedience is perfect for this...and I took it out my sideboard a while ago because Jund/RG Monsters was on the decline. I think it's safe to say Blind Obe...

Hey guys, I'm new to the forums, but I've been lurking this thread heavily after upping my game in standard and switching to a competitive deck (used to play G/W aggro). I've been doing really well with Boros Burn online until just recently with the resurgence of Jund Monsters. Here is my list: Land...
