Dies to Removal

Whole

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 ...

Whole

Yea I played Jund Walkers and it felt pretty easy. Just like Elricity said, other than Xenagos, they don't do anything.

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...

Man why people gotta scoop before you can go off with Flamespeaker. Yea I know you're not gonna come back after I just +2'd you, but let me have a little fun please.

Thinking about it, I'm not too hot on Pillar vs Mono Blue either. So for me, I think it comes down to whether it's better to have a sideboard card for Mono Blue (Flamespeaker) or a card for Midrange & Mono Black/Orzhov (Pillar/Reprisal) while both are good vs GW. Thoughts? Personally, I feel con...

Whole

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...

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.

Whole

If you have two Chained to the Rocks on the draw vs UW control (game 1), would you consider scooping for a huge g2 advantage? (Assuming they play an early elixer or something so you 100% know they're on control)

Whole

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 ...

i just wish everything could be as easy as burn vs boss sligh and white weenie Q_Q

@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...

im still confused as to why i thought i could just race the young pyromancer game 1

Whole

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...

Whole

Isn't 11 mountains a little too low for Chained? I believe the consensus is that -1 Mutavault and +1 Mountain is the correct mana base. (Also because of mana requirements)

Whole

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

Chandra's Phoenix might be your best card against them (barring Assemble). If you're on the Assemble, Hushwing, and Chandra, Pyromaster plan, I'd consider boarding out Helixes first.

Whole

@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...

Hey guys, looking for a little help fine tuning my sideboard. My maindeck is the stock "1 Mortars, 4 Chained" main deck (except 1 Banishing Light, 3 Chained). But my sideboard is a little outdated. I'm going to a playset tournament this weekend, and I expect the field to be tons of Sphinx ...

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 actually had that exact same thing. Blocks token. Skullcrack. "?" I responded with "Read skullcrack." Unfortunately he won the match

Also are there any decks besides control to side T//T in? I don't think there is, but I don't want to be missing anything.

Whole

Yes sorry. Forgot to mention these are game 1s with no knowledge of your opponent.

Whole

I think I'm having trouble mulliganing borderline hands. Would you guys keep Boros Guildgate, Mountain x3, Chained to Rocks, Boros Charm, Lightning Strike? Also what one landers would y'all keep?

Whole

Stoke the Flames

So this was just spoiled. What do you guys think of this card over or in conjunction with Warleader's Helix? It can be free or cost about 2 mana with Young Pyromancer and hit Blood Baron/Stormbreath. But of course, it does not gain us life.

Whole

that Squabbles123 guy has to be trolling.

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.

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...

Tajic might just be ridiculous enough to work, but I don't think I'm brave enough to test it online.

Would Tajic be a decent option for the mirror or is he too slow?

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).
