Dies to Removal

I actually played the Boros Burn version to 4-0 at FNM last week, beating Mono Green Devotion, 2 Jeskai tempo decks, and a Mono Red deck. My results were the same as what you found: Swiftspear with Searing Blood or hell, even Seeker of the Way is just a beating. Plus a lot of people aren't expecting...

I tried a slightly more aggressive version last night: [deck] Lands (23) 1 Mystic Monastary 2 Mana Confluence 3 Temple of Triumph 2 Temple of Epiphany 3 Shivan Reef 3 Battlefield Forge 2 Flooded Strand 2 Plains 2 Island 3 Mountain Creatures (14) 4 monastery swiftspear 4 mantis rider 4 seeker of the ...

Gonna give Saito's list tonight a try...

I played the Toil/Trouble version tonight at FNM and it straight up destroyed the Mono B decks I faced. Usually hit for at least 6-7 when I cast it. It's also surprisingly good against Dredge; they're rarely dumping the entire hand (unless a Lotleth is out). Of course, I played against 2 Naya Hexpro...

Jonnymagic: That's the exact 75 I was planning on playing tonight.

Just want to say there's a LOT of this deck at my local meta now, but I believe I am the only one who reads DTR. I've been ahead of the game running the Ash Zealot list for a while, while the others still run the YP and MD Firedancer build still. Thanks to this thread, I've been 100% in the mirror t...

Playing in the GP Trial today...hope to burn a lot of faces off.

Quick report before I sleep, pretty tired. Went 4-0-1 with this deck today (will post full decklist later), losing to U/W control in Top 8 when he had 2 Blind Obedience turn 2 and 3 in Games 2 and 3. Highlights of the night: 3x Viashino Firstblade victims, and getting to Wild Ricochet a Boros Charm ...

Hey guys, I'll be playing an updated list tomorrow night at FNM. Quite a diverse group of decks so hopefully get some good matches in. Will post what I'm thinking of running tomorrow before the tourney. Oddly enough, I have been undefeated past two weeks against G/R monsters (about 4 rounds I think?...

Go Z!!! I see you in that feature match!

Thanks for the help guys, hopefully have a good report soon!

What would you recommend for a control meta? I was thinking either the tokens list or your "Boros Burn" list. I expect a few R/G monsters there too.

Hey all; I have a Standard tournament tonight for a box of BNG and was thinking of running the R/W tokens list, except with Ash Zealots instead of Young Pyromancers. I expect more than a few U/W control decks as well as a lot of Mono Black out there tonight. Thoughts?

Hey all! First time poster, long time lurker. Just wanted to say I actually play at the shop that Darin plays/works at, so I'm going to see if I can pick his brain a bit on his card choices and what he would change. May play a modified version of his list tonight.
