In standard, its a hero's downfall that hits indestructable and prevents it from being used for mana with delve.
Also ties in well to the speculation that BWG decks will be the controllingest decks.

What is the secret to beating B/W? I feel like I've tried every strategy in every situation with 100% loss. I feel like I'm just playing the matchup wrong, or mulling aggressively for the incorrect cards. On the draw I feel like I need a shock or similar thing to deal with a packrat. Then I need Cha...

Yeah, while punks like us run r/w burn. Honestly, we should feel ashamed of ourselves.

1 Banishing Light
2 Chains
3 Toil//Trouble
2 Wear//Tear
4 Satyr Firedancer
3 Chandra, Pyromancer

This kind of sideboard makes those matchups more even postboard except against B/W I think you just have to win game1 and try to steal game2 or 3. Your maindeck is just fine.

If you are guaranteed to play against only UW control in an event and no other deck, Yeah replace YP with Eidolon. YP isn't bad. Echoing the idea lots of people in this thread have said in the past, "Jace Architect of Thought doesn't make YP$ bad, YP$ makes Jace into a useless planeswalker"

I had no idea what the arrows on the turn structure bar meant so I was clicking them to figure it out. I learned when I went to block a greymerchant with YP and I intended to cast searing blood to gain a token. I had it set to never yield for anything and the turn ended with my YP dead and my searin...

I have 'some' amount of money and can feasibly get into mtgo. How much am I looking at to make a full boros burn deck? Roughly 180 dollars ( source ), rotation is happening soon though. It is possible to make back all your money and go inf. (it would take some dedications (intense grind) or a few m...

Without MizziumMortars on sideboard and only 2 Stokes I fear for your anti-bloodbaron game against b/w midrange.

Maybe cut a helix and a shock for 2 more of either RtA or Chained. They are all cards you want vs aggro so they do the same thing in that regard, and against u/w control or walker lists it cuts 2 of your lesser cards (helix and shock). Seems to me EV+ or EV= in every matchup to cut some amount of sh...

Looking to get my first 500 losses done with fast

Hey guys I played the video game Starcraft broodwar competitively for a very long time. Anyway my boss plays mtg and I made a bet with him I could win more than I lose at the 2014 Chicago GrandPrix on the first day of swiss. I had played zero games of mtg and owned zero cards at that point, and had ...

RabbleRed is more solid. Sligh is the deck you use when your meta are going a bit too high on the curve and simply aren't respecting such a deck.

How do you play the mirror? I play the skullcrack-helix game flawlessly, my pyromasters always get more than 1card of value, but I still lose! Sometimes there is nothing I can do (In this case maybe I should mulligan more aggressively) but sometimes I die with 12 damage in my hand and he's at 12 lif...

This certainly can't be where we want to be? Reprisal over Pillar of Light, StormbreathDragon over MizziumMortars.
I don't see how this deck beats monoUdevotion or BW postboard

Sperling played in some nonsensical format where you can play against people who can do well in draft and not well in constructed. Any list from that tournament should not be regarded as toplevel deckbuilding.

I mean, my due respect to someone who top8s a competition that is 60% Standard.

I think its really likely that you run into the '2 helixs in hand on 3 land' problem if you don't run magma jets in a long event like an open. 0 chains makes the rabblered matchup a bit worse. In my testing, rabblered is exactly as easy as we think.

When you are looking to maintain tempo and get value with tokens, spending mana on not-value and not-tokens (in the form of purphuros) sounds not very good
