Dies to Removal

I think either this or Flames of the Firebrand will turn out to be excellent sideboard material depending on our meta. If everyone starts running Mono Blue Devotion (I think a lot of people at my local FNM will now because Master of Waves went up 20 bucks in 2 days in the shop) then I think Electric...

what exactly is the big difference to devotion red? A lot of the devotion red lists are running stuff like Ember Swallower, Mouthbreather Dragon, Purp, Nykthos ... (one of the top 8 players in the pro tour is running this big devotion to red list too) Not a very big fan of it, being a budget player...

I like the Wear // Tear inclusion as the pro tour has shown us that hexproof auras is still a thing (ugh)

Johnny, what do you think about Larkin's list? It seems to be all over the place but he was winning most of his matchups either way...

I ran a Devotion list with 3 Stormbreath. THey barely mattered as I barely saw them. Ran 24 lands but god damn, couldn't buy a 3rd land most games =\ Sounds like you just had a batch of bad luck. I had exactly the same problem this friday :( . I will try running Larkin's list this friday as I have ...

^ To compliment dpaine's comment, here's Larkin's list: John Larkin Pro Tour Theros [deck] Lands (22) 18 Mountain 4 Mutavault Creatures (30) 4 Rakdos Cackler 4 Firedrinker Satyr 4 Ash Zealot 4 Burning-Tree Emissary 4 Firefist Striker 4 Chandra's Phoenix 3 Boros Reckoner 3 Fanatic of Mogis Spells (8)...

Erggh, I'm quickly realizing just how hopeless the situation looks for any sort of placings with this deck if I don't have chandra and/or stormbreath >.> Looks like ashiok and elspeth will have to say good bye from my edh, and then maybe some other stuff to try and get a chandra or 2 e.e Ergh. I ha...

Just to nip this in the bud, Rubblebelt Maaka is horrible.

I wouldn't put it like that but we do have better options, that much is clear.

Wear // Tear, splash single Temple of Triumph for 0.1% possibility of destroying someone's enchantment.

That ... is genius!

I don't think Whip decks currently have a way to bring it back after it has been destroyed so I would go with Smelt.

Another card that should be questioned in my opinion is Rakdos Shred-Freak. The haste + 1 extra devotion is good, but is it better than a falter effect from either Firefist Striker or Goblin Shortcutter? I'm not sure it is. And if you want the falter effect, Striker or Shortcutter? Personally I'm l...

I think making a list comparing our possible creatures/spells/lands and listing would be a good start. I also feel like we need to have a discussion whether or not Boros Reckoner is really worth having as a MB option. I personally think our MB should be set to go for a clean goldfish strategy (vs co...

Well I went 2-1 tonight, beating Dega Midrange and Mono Red. I lost to b/r midrange thanks to some insane draws (2x anger, whip + demon etc). Despite the limited testing, I find that i want a 3rd peak eruption in my board. That card is just bonkers against any deck with mountains. I will cut a legi...

Hello there! My name is Tyrael (from Diablo, yeah) and I'm new around here! As someone who frequents the MTGS forums I, like many of you as I can imagine, have run into zemanjaski and was thoroughly impressed by his knowledge on all things red. As such, I decided to make an account on this site, sin...
