Dies to Removal

This is why I play this deck.
T3 Trouble followed by his Duress then rage quit. "only sociopaths would enjoy playing a deck like that"

It may be that. I was just thinking the fun of adding 2 damage to every spell we cast. It also plays very well with Assemble. It may be too cute though.

Yea, I'm with you. It's really fun when it does work out. But for the most part Big P did nothing and I had a sad.

We can worry about it once more cards are spoiled. For now, Vexing Devil? In a more serious question: Bring back Purphoros as a 1-2 of for the YP builds? I don't think so. I tried to make Purhporos work, but he does nothing unless you can get YP in play AND cast spells to start making tokens. It's ...

I will probably test RWu now. How can you say this when you won't even test Stormbreath? There's no way Keranos does anything but severely hinder this burn strategy. Keranos could provide extra gas when we need it most. It's worth a test at least. Stormbreath isn't indestructible, doesn't provide a...

Burn, 19 red is plenty. 10 white is risky. I'm not a lucky enough man to play around with 10 white. I'm going to give this a try tonight.

Remember that post where I said don't play it online? It's for paper meta? Ahh~ gotcha I thought this was your new SB plan rather then that Dega burn list. Z was just helping me out for this Saturday's SCG Open in Milwaukee. Anyway, starting in June I will be able to get in 1 DE every day. So I can...

I don't think you need Rest in Peace to beat Dredge, I'm sure I've never lost a match. They mostly beat themselves anyway. Also, this >:) I've had some trouble when they slap a nighthowler on a nemesis. They get so big so fast, and I only have so many chained. in my experience your yp tokens deal w...

I've had some trouble when they slap a nighthowler on a nemesis. They get so big so fast, and I only have so many chained.

The Dredge Player community would like to state that making Burn side into a crap card like Rest In Peace is, indeed, a win in their favor. >:)

Seemed ok to me. I've been able to cast it twice now against dredge and both were very easy wins.

I think I'm ok with GB Dredge becoming more popular. Game 2 didn't go much better for him. I cast Rest In Peace t2. Free win, yes please.

"I know legion loyalist isn't great in this deck now. Need to get myself some firedrinkers" please read... That's just my current deck that i have atm, and i don't rate cackler.

I guess we're confused about playing a card that you "know isn't great in this deck."

Explain how legion loyalist will ever be better than rakdos cackler? Cut legion loyalist from your deck period and put the 3 shock in the main. This. You will not have the creatures in play to take advantage of Loyalist's battalion effect. So he's garbage. Well, he's pretty much garbage anyway. Pla...

I should write on article on sideboarding.

Yes. Yes you should.

You're absolutely right about the white sources. Idk why I want that extra scry so much. Gonna adjust a bit before testing.

Let's definitively answer the question of YP$ v Ashley before we trek off into even more unknown territory. There's no way I'm cutting Ashley. Gets in damage so quickly. So many combat tricks. Why don't we test something like this? 3 Young Pyromancer 4 Chandra's Phoenix 3 Ash Zealot Then we can add...

Try swapping out Searing Blood for Titan's Strength. What little testing I have done today has been positive. The deck seems faster. That probably is me, but would like to hear what other people have to say about that and test it themselves. I'm skeptical, but I'm going to give it a shot tonight. I...

An initial thought I am having, YP$ is significantly worse vs Jund Monsters since they are bringing in golgari charms to deal with CttR

I agree. I've been siding out 4 YP$ and siding in 3 MM, and 1 CttR against Monstards. Seems to be working just fine.

I don't like increasing my game 1 curve when my G1 plan is to win as fast in possible. Adding what would equate to two more 4 drops and 1-2 5 drops is not appealing. Postboard when the games are usually a bit more drawn out, I could see it... but I don't like the Purphuros discussion, that is a com...

Now with people playing YP (which I am going to test now) and siding Assemble, if there is room for a 1 of, would it be out of line to suggest Purphoros? Most decks can't remove it and if you get YP and or Assemble on line with him out, it's tap out time. Then things change if you get him turned on...

Because I don't want to go to 9 white sources again.

Good point. I'm glad we are on the Young P. Money train again. Love this card.

We still want RR early for Searing Blood, Chandra's Phoenix, and 2-spells-1-turn. Let us know how testing goes! RE: Mana, probably 1 Guildgate, 1 Temple of Silence is right, we probably do want 19 red sources for Turn 3 Phoenix. Why don't we run 1 Temple of Silence and 1 Temple of Malice? If we are...

:? Fine...I guess I'll let cacks come play for a little bit. Gonna do some testing with this. If anyone else is toying with Cacks over FDS let me know how it goes.

That's rough. Luckily I held on to my foil playset of Young Pyro. Don't worry I'm sure Firstblade will shift back into popularity in a few weeks.

Maybe Cackler > Firedrinker right now? Firedrinker can potentially hit harder, but you're unlikely to get more than 1 or 2 activations out of him (though every activation is free value); usually you're better of spending your mana other ways (often you get 1 activation on turn 2 and then no more). ...

Won the GPT at 7-0-2.
