But no 4-of mainboard Searing Bloods, WAHHHHHH.

Jasper

How did Lee Morino cast the counterspells from his sideboard is what I want to know. His actual sideboard was this: [deck] 2 Erase 4 Hushwing Gryff 3 Searing Blood 4 Firedrinker Satyr 1 Ride Down 1 Arc Lightning [/deck] [deck] 4 Goblin Rabblemaster 4 Monastery Swiftspear 4 Seeker of the Way 3 Storm...

States results matter, when I'll be playing the list at SCG States this weekend, lol. Satyr Firedancer , do I maindeck this mean son of a bitch, or not? At the $5k I ran 3 mainboard in the Jeskai deck I was playing, and it did pretty well. Basically, it's just another way to add value to every burn ...

Jasper

Ashcloud Phoenix is fucking sick, and I've been waiting for a list where I'd run 2-4 in the main. This is also one of my spec cards, with 16 copies owned. 4 CttR seems reasonable, given that we don't really have any other 1-mana plays besides Swifty. I really really don't like Sarkhan in this. Defl...

Jasper

Seeker also doesn't have a ton of dumb nicknames.

Seeker of the bae

Creature - Human Swaglord

"Fuck her right in the pussy"

Jasper

You guys are high. Sarkhan is great I personally don't see what's so great about him. Almost every time I've cast him, in any of my decks, it just felt kind of shitty. At the same time, he costs like a bazillion dollars, so much so that I've been considering just selling both of mine. +1 - Stormbre...

Jasper

Not really feeling the Sarkhans either, at least not for game one. 4 CttR sounds decent. It's cool, being able to Chain a guy on turn 3, and trigger prowess on one of your little guys, while also having 2 mana up to burn a creature out on their turn. Edit: Never thought I'd actually miss Shock :no2:

Jasper

just wanna chime in and say that any fringe control deck with white colored lands is pretty much required to run one or two Resolute Archangel in their 75 to have any chance against post-board jeskai burn lists. Ram just doesn't get the job done. (Hushwing gryph is pretty good) Except this list giv...

Jasper

I'd be thinking of maindecking Magma Spray but I'm not too sure. -1 Purphoros, -3 Ashcloud, +4 Magma Spray. Then maybe move Ashcloud in the sideboard. I'll try to figure something out once I manage to get some time. Just main board Circle of Flame . Sure, it will be somewhat dead in some matchups, ...

Jasper

This exact burn deck has all the top8's on TCG player right now including top8 a 5k, and 2 top8 in same States and one that got 1st at a states. [deck] 4 Monastery Swiftspear 4 Satyr Firedancer 4 Seeker of the Way 1 Chandra, Pyromaster 3 Arc Lightning 3 Chained to the Rocks 3 Deflecting Palm 4 Ligh...

Jasper

By "the list" I meant a similar R/W burn list, my bad. I'm running 23 lands, no Chandra main board, 1 yolo Font of Ire main, and Tormenting Voice. This is mainly because I don't have a set of Rabblemasters...but to be honest, does Rabblemaster even connect that much? Seems like even a 3 d...

Jasper

I've been playing around with the list on MTGO because it was so cheap for me. I'm not sold on it yet. Some games feel unfair and unlosable, but I also have games where I just flood, or draw a creature entirely too late (no repeatable damage source). The fact that there is no hasty flier in R/W is ...

Jasper

Been playing past 4 hours and still have not dropped a game with Boros Burn, on cockatrice mind you.

So much more consistant than Jeskai omg..

Perhaps I should have posted that list in this thread...

Anyways, I prefer straight R/W to Jeskai, just for consistency.

Jasper

I tested the R/W list, and posted my own list in the R/W aggro thread. It does really good against Jeskai Burn, mostly due to the lands and the mainboard Deflecting Palm's. Less self inflicted damage, and less lands coming in tapped. Even on the draw, the R/W list just takes control of the matchup d...

Jasper

Niche in a meta dominated by big green creatures and rabblemasters??? Plus game 1 no one will play around it, giving you huge blowout potential. People think it is in the board. It is bare minimum Do 3 dmg to target player, gain 3 life. It can easily be 4 or 5 damage. I personally agree. You'd be i...

Don't think anyone posted this in here yet: LANDS 17 13 Mountain 2 Wooded Foothills 2 Bloodstained Mire CREATURES 25 4 Satyr Hoplite 4 Firedrinker Satyr 4 Akroan Crusader 4 Monastery Swiftspear 4 Foundry Street Denizen 4 Mogis's Warhound 1 Arena Athlete INSTANTS and SORC. 8 4 Stoke the Flames 4 Tita...

Jasper

Just remembered that Favored Hoplite is still a thing. Replacing Rabblemaster's with the Hoplite, since it's more in-line with the plan. Hoplite also increases the possibility of a turn 3 kill.

Jasper

Been screwing around with the deck today. Seems to be in need of one more red source. May remove a Plains for a Mountain, or add a Mana Confluence or something.

Think I'm going to take this to FNM this week in secrecy. Just need to figure out how the sideboard is supposed to work.

Jasper

http://www.magicspoiler.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Archetype-of-Aggression-Born-of-the-Gods-Spoiler.jpg Is this card as nuts as I think it is? I was testing it in a very shitty deck, but it turns out, giving Goblin Rabblemaster trample is pretty fucking sweet. Also, taking away Siege Rhino 's t...

Jasper

Anything particularly good in the mirror? Being on the play. Searing Blood , Lightning Strike . Anything that lets you kill one of their creatures at instant speed while being behind 1 land. Edit: Anything that you can do, while on the draw, to answer their threat when they tap out for it. This let...

Jasper

Ride down is insane. Rune 3 mainboard and never look back folks. What happens when you are behind, and have 2 of these in your hand? Not to mention, as soon as someone realizes that you are playing it, they probably won't be blocking any more Rabble tokens with their Polukranos. I much prefer Suspe...

List was something like this: [deck] Creatures 16 4 Monastery Swiftspear 4 Eidolon of the Great Revel 4 Seeker of the Way 4 Goblin Rabblemaster Spells 22 4 Magma Jet 4 Lightning Strike 4 Searing Blood 4 Stoke the Flames 3 Deflecting Palm 3 Chained to the Rocks La...

You also have 16 pump spells in a 10 creature deck and that simply cannot be right. It's fine, I'm sure my opponent will eventually be kind enough to play their own win condition. Last FNM, a friend of mine played a Butcher of the Horde out against me, so I Deflecting Palm ed 2 turns in a row, and ...

You forgot to put Deflecting Palm in the Deflecting Palm deck.

Googled him and found out he is(was?) one of the top PUA in the world actually. Which I believe because the guy is cool as shit. When he was eating his mango's during the player meeting at the GPT, all I could think of was stromkirk noble. He's even a blue player at heart that knows how to red mage...

Jasper

Can someone explain the term 'Scrumper' to me? I feel like I'm missing out.

Other than that, I like how some of the decks look in this thread, and may be switching over to mono-red from Jeskai.

Jasper

In line with kait's thought of dropping the 5 drops one could run flame-wreathed phoenix . 4 mana gets you either a 5/5 flyer (harder to deal with than ashcloud though it usually means the opponent has a way to deal with it giving you potential insight into the cards they have), or a 3/3 flyer with...

5-3 at the $5k today. I did get paired against my teammate in a later round, and I gave him the win since I personally thought his deck was better suited for the meta. I ended up not running any Sarkhan's or Dragons, and I didn't really miss him at all. Had 3 Firedancer main, 4 Temples. I'll post th...

Jasper

I played my deck a bit yesterday. I liked it a lot. I saw some issues against five toughness dudes like Master of the Feast, Siege Rhino, and Nyx-Fleece Ram, but sideboard cards like Glare of Heresy, Erase, and Fated Conflagration help a lot. In fact I'm considering moving a Fated Conflagration to ...

Jasper

It's possible that the Junk deck I played against was bad, but I didn't have any issue with it a few days ago. The main deck that seems to be a problem is this B/W Control deck with the mainboard Sheep. I also had trouble today against Mono Black Aggro, strangely enough, I think due to my land base ...

Jasper

Charm has a lifelink mode XD I've actually been eager to use that mode with Rabblemaster + tokens. Oh, and Mantis Rider + Stoke the Flames is sex. You'd be surprised how often both of these things are very relevant. I've used the Lifelink mode with a Rabble out, 2 tokens, and a Swiftspear before. T...

Jasper

Well, someone on the team finally managed to sleeve something up that didn't just get raped constantly by my list, and it's Black White Control. His deck is like, 3 Elspeth, 2 Wingmate Roc, 4 Ram's, and the rest is removal. Such a pain to deal with. What happens is that he plays a Sheep turn 2, and ...

Jasper

What did you take out for the Mana Confluence Jasper? With 3 Deflecting Palm in the MD do you need the 4th in the SB still? I really like the aggressive approach the deck takes, will be very interested to see how the new meta shapes up. 2 Mountains. The 4th Deflecting Palm is just there because it ...

Jasper

Added 2 Mana Confluence , 1 more Deflecting Palm , and 1 more Magma Jet . Tested out pretty well. There was only one game where Mana Confluence directly caused my death, but that was a strange game to begin with anyway, since I flooded, but all non-Mountains. This deck is fucking sweet. Of the 4 dec...

Jasper

Costs five mana.

Pretty much this. At the same time, my hand is getting low by then anyway.

More testing to be done today.

Jasper

I am surprised Mindswipe didn't work out for you. Maybe it is because I am playing a slightly slower game than you are. Confluence might help with the mana issues but I worry about all the damage we will end up taking. I will have to test it. Agree with your judge buddy on morph but you should alwa...
