A stock RW devotion list.This is a crazy thought, but could frostburn wierd replace ash zealot?
@JS - what was your buddy playing?
I too have a PTQ this weekend, and a Super IQ on sunday and am not sure what to play. I played PyroDragons to a top8 finish this past weekend, but got completly wrecked by an esper deck packing Last Breath and Devour Flesh in the MD. Probably going to play Big Boros, but I will def be putting Wear//Tear in the SB.
I tried doing control thw first time, which didn't work.My Thoughts on the Esper Aggro/Midrange matchup
They're running 12 Shock lands <-> Thus, burn is strong against them
Large amounts of ground creatures <-> Thus, your ground force is pointless (beside ash, since his first strike is vital here) I would NEVER keep my 1-Drops against them
Decent amount of removal <-> Thus, creatures without immediate impact are worthless (Boros Reck.)
They're running 5 lifegain cards (2x Whips, 3x Ghostdads) <-> Thus, your on a clock
- you can't spend your game in control mode for too long
I don't know... It smells like Vexing Devil to me... trying to stay cautiously optimistic.
the whole Tribute mechanic has some Vexnicity to it, no?I don't know... It smells like Vexing Devil to me... trying to stay cautiously optimistic.

Yes it does... time will tell. Need the whole set spoiled so we can start testing.
If your oppenent says make it a 5/5 then Wraths, it's pretty bad. IDK, we'll see. I think I like Exava better.But in this particular instance niether form of the creature is bad. If your oppennent gives you a 5/5 you know it will probably die but they still have to use a piece of removal. The non-tribute form speaks for itself.
Vexing Devil didnt have two board prescence options (or fly), I honestly don't see the comparision.
I say no in cutting LB, because Ux is still the worst MU by far (its worst then Esper admit it).I have these questions:Cut 1 LB for 1 Wear? Cut 1 Glare for on Wear? Cut 1 LB for 1 more assemble? Cut 1 glare for 1 assemble?
You are. Decks will adjust for it.As of now.... red and white aggro are dead haha. Bye bye dos packis! Maybe I am overreacting...
LP suggested it awhile back and dauntless268 currently runs them, I tested it awhile back as well its decent - but I've lost 3 games due too them in the past because I couldn't cast Ash or Chandra's Phoenix in a timely fashion (its 3 out of many games... so you can chalk it up to variants if you like, I prefer not being greedy nowadays).@MDU - A thought I had last night about boros guildgates. Has anyone considered cutting one, maybe two in favor of temple of silences?
GW is simple, Cut the 1 drops andWhat is our current SB strat for the GW matchup? Using MDU list
You can if you want, but you'll make Gx, Wx, Rx and Ux Harder - remember Mortar is 2cc removal or 6cc sweeper (it would improve the Esper, Bx and controls MUs).Also, could we cut a SB mortar for 1 more WH?
