Dies to Removal

Hey guys! Just wanna say thanks so much for all the discussion here, helped me immensely! I went 7-1 to be the game day champ at my LGS. Didn't win much but the playmat and a bunch of packs, but it feels really good to be winning an event for once! I ran this list: [deck] Creature 8 4 Young Pyromanc...

I see that you were doing 9 in 9 out.. I feel like thats correct. I guess it changes a bit if they are on FSP instead of rams, but not by much.

What list did you run dolt?

Oh I was thinking of the list HK just posted, so yps.

So what matchups are you bringing in eidolon for? I know it wrecks control, but I've seen some back and forth for using it in other matchups.

Interesting list z... I don't think I could run it though. Cutting yp all together for t//t in the main just seems wrong... we've been debating how yp is never a bad or dead card in this shell, but then you cut him for something that is absolutely a dead card in a number of matchups? Just seems odd....

YP$ is REALLY good against Jace and Golgari Charm...?

How do you figure? I mean +1 jace stops them from drawing cards which is huge, but it also blanks all of our tokens... and golgari charm just wipes them outright...

Good article.

I won't be adding to this thread anymore, may be back after rotation.

Moving to a new deck? Hope us newbies trying to learn didnt drive you off

Sweet article, very good stuff!

Decided to try that deck tonight and got blown out by mono green. Not sure if I just got bad luck with him hitting 4 creatures of garruk in both games, Idk. Any tips for the matchup? I brought in dancers mortars and all my chains, boarded out skull cracks, eidolons of revelry. I just didn't see any ...

Are you thinking that banishing light is too slow for us, favor another chains over it or something?

The 2 YPs did throw me for a loop for a second.

Ok seriously? I suggest eidolon and give you guys a plan on how we use the card and what our plan is when we board in other cards and you all think that is terrbile and not worht any testing. Then all of a sudden the card shows up in a decklist of an accomplished player and now its a card that is w...

Curious how you mean that. Like the decks represented there? Skill of the players? Presentation of the event?

Ah misread what you wrote. Not sure about that.

Burn vs Burn feature match on SCG right now. http://www.twitch.tv/scglive

Eidelon of the revel doing work in the mirror, but I still dont think its great. Interesting to see how it turns out for these guys.

Nothing is strictly necessary - go with what you like. Your manabase should be ok without that 1 red source, so if you value the scry a bit more you could run one instead. Don't just stick to the list though, think about what you prefer and experiment

"eidolon has synergy with every other card in the deck"

IDK. Burning ourselves in the face when we play like 65% of our deck is certainly a synergy, just not a good one.

Hmm.. I would always cut the full 4 shocks before touching jets, but I do love my scry.

okay just finished a 40 game set vs Bg devotion list that won scgs.com last open vs [deck]Creatures 4 Chandra's Phoenix 4 Young Pyromancer Enchantments 2 Banishing Light 2 Chained to the Rocks Instants 4 Boros Charm 4 Lightning Strike 4 Magma Jet 1 Flames of the FireBrand 4 Shock 4 Skullcrack 4 War...

I agree that no one should be "breast feeding", but I think its reasonable to expect someone to explain their variation of a deck if they post a list. Why one card over another? Explain your reasoning and it opens up a dialogue to move us all forward. If you just want decklists without any...

So thoughts on harness by force as mentioned by zem - it can't possibly be correct to board it vs mbx, can it? Seems like vs demons it's almost always a dead card from the few games I tried it in. I really like reprisal though. Anyone else testing it
out?

I'm considering testing a list with destructive revelry and temples of abandon instead of the black splash scrys, at least in the place of Wear/ Tear in the sb. Any thoughts? Hitting sheep, coursers, other chains / lights/ whips ect ect and doing 2 to the face seems nice. Has anyone else tested this...

I don't think it's good in standard; and even if it was, it wouldn't be good in our deck with 33 3>-mana spells. Which card did you think was not good in Standard? I wasn't sure which you were referencing given the discussion above about Eidolon of Countless Battles and Prophetic Flamespeaker Prett...
