Nice work.

Burn seemed to be doing pretty damn well this weekend, I was periodically checking out streams from stores on twitch.tv and about half the time a RW Burn list was closing out a game.

Deht

LD -- yep, looks great, just what I was thinking too.

Not sure what the spoiler policy is on here, but I saw the God of Victory card and immediately thought of R/W Aggro. All of my creatures are indestructible while attacking? Sure! All of my creatures can't be blocked unless by two or more creatures? Sounds good!

There is a certain irony in the fact that I'm thinking to myself "this guy doesn't know how intimidate works" yet I don't either!!! Hahaha.. Ah well. I'm always down to try out new stuff and experiment at FNM, I only really get to play magic out with people one night a week now a days, and...

When it comes to the Mutavault issue, I don't think a Mutavault with intimidate can be blocked by another Mutavault(, though I may be wrong, but hear me out). You seem to be saying that you had Mutavaults whom were given intimidate by Mogis's Marauder, and your opponent blocked them with their Muta...

Some hilarious dudes were at the local shop running Z's initial build that was on the Channel Fireball site (with old sideboards) and acting like they were the shit and talking about how they brewed the deck and got the right numbers for everything and this and that. I commented that it looked exact...

I do believe the notes rule has changed. Am I wrong? You can access in-game notes during a game, a small amount of notes between games, and any resources between rounds. Judges at the PTQ I went to beginning of march said you could have notes written during the match with you but not bring anything...

Great advice happening in this thread Most events past the FNM level don't allow sideboard plans or even a listing of your sideboard to be with you. Memorize your plans and also your sideboard After rounds make sure to de-sideboard and double check that you have only sideboard cards in your sideboar...

@ Deht

Same list as above?

Yep, same as above. I think I'm upping the Gift of Orzhova count to at least 2, I think I'll try Spiteful Returned in place of Thrill kill this week, probably drop a pack rat as well.

Deht

Did some testing last night with a friend vs mono red and burn I felt like I wasn't drawing the right part of my deck the whole time when I was testing against mono red aggro and my creatures were easily outclassed or when I finally dropped something better than his stuff (Herald of Torment) I was a...

Interestingly, he got completely demolished by Tom Ross' new small aggro brew, Boss Blitz While people may disagree with this (I'm sure they will), I think that this build is a little soft to other aggro decks, while we have good hastey creatures the scry lands hurt, and Ross's build really uses Bu...

Kent Ketter is playing a Black Red Aggro list pretty darn similar to the standard list and he is 11-3 right now at the Star City Invitational, probably in the top 8. -- > http://www.starcitygames.com/events/coverage/2521_deck_tech_br_aggro_with_kent_k.html Edit --- no top 8 for Kent, lost in round 15.

Tom Ross has R/b in his latest article with one of Jedi_Knight's 1st Place lists. http://www.starcitygames.com/article/28 ... Aggro.html

Sphinx is a sleeper right now. The scry 3 is absolutely brutal to play against since your setting up your draws. Using it in a control shell is just crazy, Divination or Jace -2 after scry 3'ing is just ridiculous. Using it in combination with the Bident and a couple of other attackers would be pret...

The list at the top of the page is from PTQ Corvallis, in Oregon. UW Control won PTQ Seattle. I like Pack Rat and Mogis's Marauder in this deck as they both function as good ways to close out games that are running long, I don't think either of them are a "must include" but I am enjoying h...

this deck is in an incredible position to hit the control player with Aurelia's Fury for lethal in response to that game-winning Sphinx's Revelation. I'm not sure I am following the line of play with Aurelia's Fury & Sphinx's Revelation --- casting that in response to a spell already on the sta...

Aha, you're running assemble too?

RW Burn was very popular at my local store, saw about 6 or 7 people piloting it at FNM. They're all using somewhat sub-optimal lists and not running any of the spicy sideboard tech that folks are running here, though.

Won the GPT at 7-0-2.

Good work, Sir.

Lengthy FNM Report - 4-0, 1st place with Mono Black Aggro, roughly 64 person event. All of my opponents were 3-1, so I had the best opponents match win precentage by around 20%.

I have been tinkering around with the standard list for a while and gradually began making assorted changes (going down to 1 Ephara from 3, then none). I just have been struggling so hard against UW / Esper Control with the list --- it is very frustrating! Any tips for how to improve this matchup or...

Just wanted to chime in that I've been really enjoying Blind Obedience especially if the game starts going long or gets into top deck mode. I have yet to lose a game against an aggro deck with Blind Obedience out. Regardless of Blind Obedience, I haven't lost a game to any Black Aggro / Rakdos Aggro...

Anyone watching SCG Open Seattle -- the Timothy Chavez guy doing the deck tech for Rakdos Midrange plays at the local store I go, his main deck is (was?) similar to the standard MDU list but without Phoenix (D Demon instead), sideboard is VERY different though, sounds like he's doing pretty well at ...

Played at a nearby store last night that usually has a ton of control. I tried the list with 3 Chains, 2 shocks main, side board was 2 Blind O., 1 Chains, 4 Firedrinker, 3 Viashino, 2 Firedancer, 2 Spark T, 1 Burning Earth (there are 2 dudes that play Esper, one dude that plays Bant with pretty much...

Z --- thanks for the videos. I have no idea why someone commented on the article on the CFB site about how there was too much analysis / talking. Isn't that the whole point of the series?

This is something I was never clear on. Say my opponent is running Ruric Thar, and i cast a spell and he lets it resolve without me taking 6 damage. Could i be given a game loss for ignoring the ruric thar trigger? This exact scenario happened at an SCG Open recently with Brad Nelson playing UW Con...

lost round one to G/u Devo Turn 4 Garruk both games (man that deck can be explosive). The RG / GU devotion builds are just crazy if they can "go off" --- their ability to vomit their hand out on the table and then +1 Garruk to refill their hand is just sickeningly good and difficult to be...

I wish Domri wasn't ~$30, otherwise I'd like to give this a try.

I'm not liking the midrange list as much as the aggro list --- I feel as though it is a lot softer against aggro and softer against control. Midrange matchups (Esper Mid, Mono Black, GR) would be better, but lacking the turn two 5 damage to the face against control is a big loss, all my opinion of c...
