Dies to Removal

I think I am going to play a good old pre-rotation RDW until October. Something like [deck]4 Stromkirk Noble 4 Stonewright 2 Lightning Mauler 4 Ash Zealot 4 Chandra's Phoenix 4 Hellrider 4 Pyreheart Wolf 4 Rakdos Cackler 4 Shock 4 Flame Spear 20 Mountain 2 Mutavault Sideboard 2 Frostburn Weird 2 Hou...

The more I look at it, the more I find the hammer to be too good for its cost, especially for being mono red. I won't be surprised if it ends up being the most expensive weapon among the available five.

How good is Foundry Street Denizen in a non-haste oriented deck? Aside from the usual BTE chain, it is hard for me to see it being anything more than a situational 2/1. With [card]Krenko's Command[/card] rotating out as well, it just doesn't seem good enough for me.

@suga @photo: With both of you suggesting mtgotraders, I assume it has the most reasonable (or standardize) price for cards?

The Diplomat might work if you have a group of pikes ready to poke them with. Weapon Surge or Coordinated Assault, perhaps?

I am having problem connecting to mtgo these few days. Let's just hope I can do so 12 hours later. As for those who logged back after a long time, you should be able to fine a free deck or two depending on how long you've registered. I got a Boltslinger and a Sliver deck that way. For newcomers, it'...

*snip* 10) Don't really recall it being a major pain. A Phantasmal Image was a worse offense when it was around. 9) Well yeah, there's days where they got lucky.. 8) At least it's a 5cc enchantment so you can still do enough damage before it hits the board. 7) Right, him. After a few games against ...

I admit, I don't know much about the person himself, but it's still sad to lose a fire mage. Rest in peace, and my condolences to his family. Sent a pm to windstrider too. Last night the wife and I were talking and I decided (with her blessing of course) to go full fledged into MODO since I have a h...

Just found out that Gatherer has been updated with Theros cards. The one for Firedrinker Satyr is as cringe-worthy as always.

[deck]4 Rakdos Cackler 4 Satyr Hedonist 4 Burning-Tree Emissary 4 Whore-House Chainwalker 4 Firefist Striker 4 Boros Reckoner 4 Fanatic of Mogis 4 Stormbreath Dragon 2 Magma Jet 2 Chandra, Pyromaster 20 Mountain 4 Shrine to Nykthos [/deck] Get on my devotion level. Turn 3 Stormbreath dragons anyone...

I think I'm gonna miss Faithless Looting with it rotating out soon. Where is this Looting part of the color pie Red was promised?

For the time being, I'll be playing that Past in the Flames deck till it rotates.

I wonder if this has been epidermic with fire mages in general, but I also get myself an upset stomach for days now.

Regarding mtgo, anyone knows any bots to check on for reasonable prices? The one I frequent is ClanTeam.

See Chandra's price raised in MTGO within a day

Argh, I should have just traded out those excessive Abrupt Decay to get two of them.

Akroan Hoplite reminds me of Wojek Halberdiers. Granted, it can get better with swarm strategy.

@Kazekirimaru: It's Theros' answer to Darksteel Colossus, methinks.

The cantrip aura cycle looks like fun, too. Also, I'm happy that they are giving us a colorless gray ogre that can Explosive Vegetation for [mana]3[/mana].

Well, I didn't expect these with Magma Jet , still... Spark Jolt R Instant Spark Jolt deals 1 damage to target creature or player. Scry 1. Titan's Strength R Instant Target creature gets +3/+1 until end of turn. Scry 1. Think we can make use of these? Or they will just be limited removals like Geist...

Well, wasn't the first one the planeshifted Ball Lightning?

Still, I suppose you guys find the hydra too clunky?

Now that I think about it, this is close to an uncounterable Fireball. So, elf-ball rejoice?

It can dodge both Azorius Charm and Detention Sphere, and without Oblivion Ring as well, this might just single-handedly prompt a Supreme Verdict.

What's Brad Nelson's deck look like?

Devotion land to make the ember guy monterous and destroy your opponents lands on T5.

How does it work? You will need at least a devotion of 5 to Red for that to work.

And when I used to be wow'ed by Ivy Elemental.

Yeah, this and that flash spider might give U/x trouble.

It's unnerving how many are dissing the new Jackal pup over at mtgs. Like, they keep describing the worst scenario and some even suggested using Legion Loyalist , which is supposed to be a good post-wrath card. Don't they ever understand that a good red 1-drop is indefinitely better than other 1-dr...

http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showpost.php?p=10712953&postcount=121 Am I wrong? Does this makes sense? I'm in a teaching mood. I think I have to disagree. Right now, this coming standard will allow us to have up to three variants of cheap burn at instant speed compared to only Searing Spear in...

I like that. Having Boros Charm means that we can overextend with only the risk of getting hit by Mutilate , Golgari Charm or Terminus (All except the first one are not that common). At the very worst, we can go upstairs for 4. I'll try it with this sideboard on Tourney Practice over at mtgo later. ...

I have been playing around with this deck, and wondering on a few things: 1) Is it recommended to keep a few Bump in the night instead of play them outright? Something like giving your opponent a false sense of security before dealing 10 damage with two of those and a Boros Charm for four mana, for ...

Well, to be fair, it's certainly better than most punisher cards (For comparison, there's Longhorn Firebeast .) That said, I still haven't played against a deck where VD's 4 damage leads to a win. Other 1 drop needs some removals to be dealt with, while VD gives out a free choice of a removal at the...

Also a lurker and poster on MTGS. I am pretty much your usual red guy, but I sure love the color a lot. Whatever it is, I want red on it and if it has none, I'm more reluctant to get it. AndI feel something is missing if I don't have a "burn something to crispy good" within that 75 cards o...
