Dies to Removal

[deck]Izzet Mine,Matt Higgs[/deck]

Found this completely insane brew on SCG select side

looks fun, but can it be tweaked enough to be FNM competitive-ish?

Fair enough

Is there any reason to play this over a traditional burn deck though?

Got another FNM special for ya!

[deck]Grixis Oracle[/deck]

Spellheart Chimera? Young Pyromancer? Goblin Electromancer?

Well it's legendary so yeah it's pretty bad in multiples

Hall of Triumph

Eh yeah, fixed

Hall of Triumph surely seems like an attractive mb option (as a 2-of maybe?)

I think UW gets a lot better with Mana confluence. You probably shave 2 temples and some islands for the confluences so that you can more consistently cast your 2-drops on time while still having your splash mana. The white splash also makes the mirror a bye if they're just mono-blue since you have deicide and they don't.

[deck=U/W Devotion]

Like this? I'm unsure about the sideboard...

Hmmpf

I'll still be playing it, seeing as mono black is the most popular deck at my fnm atm

So, do you guys think Blue Devotion will still be a big meta contender?

[deck= U/W Devotion]

I wouldn't know as I haven't tested it ^^


[deck]Heroic Red[/deck]

any AIR players?

As far as a competitive pillow fort deck I'm inclined to say I quite like Travis Woo's version

[deck]Lands
4 x Sacred Foundry
4 x Stomping Ground
4 x Temple Garden
4 x Temple of Plenty
2 x Temple of Triumph
2 x Temple of Abandon
3 x Forest
2 x Plains

Creatures
3 x Nyx-Fleece Ram
3 x Courser of Kruphix
4 x Eidolon of Blossoms
1 x Ajani's Chosen

Noncreature Spells
4 x Sphere of Safety
3 x Assemble the Legion
1 x Elspeth, Sun's Champion
4 x Chained to the Rocks
3 x Oppressive Rays
3 x Mana Bloom
1 x Nylea's Prescence[/deck]

I would also definitely run Fanatic of Xenagos

This might be a crazy idea, but what if pillowfort got to be a real thing?

[deck] Pillowfort[/deck]

Valdarith, how would you feel about a card like Ethereal Armor in that enchantment deck? It could be a huge blowout for just one cmc.

Also, Sphere of Safety sideboard? Maybe?
