Dies to Removal

[QUOTE1=cryogen]redthirst,

There is occasionally some friendly jabs that are aimed at "casual" players, but there is a fine line between good-natured joking and flaming. Calling people "damn dirty casuals" is certainly borderline, so in the future I and the other mods would appreciate it if you moderate your language.

Thanks,

Dafuq?

Obviously has not seen the Charlton Heston classic and is missing the pop culture reference and thus the
humorous tenor that you intended. Damn dirty mods should keep their filthy hands off and let the natural order settle things out.

Updated Mono U list after talking to Sam Pardee. Quote "Mono U Devotion is basically White Weenie with blue cards - so they're actually good".

I'm sold.

[deck]Mono U Devotion[/deck]
Creatures
4 Cloudfin Raptor
4 Frostburn Weird
4 Judge's Familiar
4 Master of Waves
4 Nightveil Spectre
4 Tidebinder Mage

4 Thassa, God of the Sea

Planeswalkers
1 Jace, Architect of Thought

Artifacts
2 Bident of Thassa

Other
1 Cyclonic Rift
1 Domestication
2 Rapid Hybridization


Lands
4 Mutavault
1 Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx
20 Island

Sideboard
1 Bident of Thassa
1 Curse of Swine
1 Cyclonic Rift
1 Dissolve
1 Domestication
4 Gainsay
2 Negate
1 Jace, Architect of Thought
2 Jace, Memory Adept
1 Rapid Hybridization
[/deck]

Changes:
- Domestication back to the maindeck
- Slightly different counterspell package now

The new counterspell, Thassa's Rebuff, is interesting, but surely worse than actual hard counters. Fated Infatuation is interesting, but I don't think necessary.

Can provide a sideboard guide if anyone wants it.

*raises hand*
I'm the one stroking your ego!
Provide the guide altogether!

Happy to hear feedback on the sideboarding; I have three major events and right now its the deck I'll probably play in all three (PTQ, GPT, GP).

red, please continue to live up to the quote you have in your signature. It's entertaining, at the very least.

I didn't go all out like Dane: burn the building down and then shit on the ashes while flipping off the staff...

Your assistance is discarded but nonetheless appreciated.

Unban Bitterblossom so I can actually play UB Control in Modern.

Much like finding out that Santa isn't real, this might surprise you, but pro players usually own almost no cards.

Orcale of Bones look ok'sh for MonoRed iterations, but there´s something annoying with being forced to cast stuff. A Red Mages gut reaction towards orders I guess. Not to mention that it messes with combat tactics.

I don't think Orcale is strong in a traditional Rx list which mixes aggressive creatures with burn, its more for the Burn orientated list which want to point everything at dome anyways (like Boros Charm and Helix MD).

And bloody hell, I can't access those price sites here at work.

quote]Good reasoning. Hasty 3/1 + Helix or Charm is nice value.

It could be okay in a Pyromancer build if those decks were looking for something at the 4-drop slot, but I think it's a little too iffy for traditional Red Aggro builds.

Thanks Doc. That's definitely more than I want to spend. I could cut out a good few of the dual lands/fetches, but it still looks like too much of an investment for how much I'd play.
