Esper Aggro (Esper Human) is a very awkward MU making it hard to board against, its not as horrible as it seem once you get use to them (like the Ux Devotion MU) I like to assume the 'burn' + flyer role in this MU, thus taking damage and just pointing everything I can at face. While I agree with ev...

Sorry to hear that it didn't go so well, Johnny Spike - you're a great contributor to this thread so I want you to succeed ;-) ! As for the Esper Aggro/Midrange matchup, I had a discussion with LaZerBurn online about SBing here after my last round. I agree it's a difficult matchup and - at least for...

After going 3-2 and 2-3 with PyroHelix, I finally managed to qualify for the Champs (4-1) with a slightly modified version of MDU's current list: Lands 25 4 Temple of Triumph 2 Temple of Silence 4 Sacred Foundry 4 Mutavault 11 Mountains Creatures 18 4 Rakdos Cackler 2 Firedrinker Satyr 4 Ash Zealots...

P.S. Don't give up dauntless268 going 3-2 = 5 boosters which you can sell for $15 and try again :D I see I'm being followed... ;-) Tbh, it was a very frustrating event. I ran a modified version of my PyroHelix build w 6 one-drops, 3 YP and 3 Stormbreath. Went 3-0, beating guys like SMDtster on the ...

Looks super solid. How important is Elspeth? B/c otherwise, we could play 2 Temple of Gruul instead of the guildgates?

EDIT: Otherwise, wouldn't a singleton Aurelia be very much in line with what the deck tries to do?

dauntless268

Yes, it was. It was a particularly nasty burn with 4 Maindeck Boros Reckoners... :o I almost like the 24 land list better, but it's a Metagame call. Should have a bit of a better matchup against Esper Midrange, +/- equal against MonoB, MonoU & Control, better MD against Aggro. Probably worse aga...

How do you all rate Warleader Helix ? Its 4cc duel colour spell which can't kill SBD and BBV, it does deal 4 damage on a target so it can be pointed at creatures (which is important) and it gains you 4 life, however in theory casting Shock on Ash Zealot (T2) will gain you virtually more then 4 life...

dauntless268

I think the Boros Aggro and the Warleader Boros lists can move towards each other. eg you could take my list, cut a muta, dragon, 1-2 helixes and the YPs and play w/ 6 1-drops and 4 Zealots, if that suits you more....

EDIT: In this case reduce the Temple of Silence count to max 2 like MDU has done

Mulliganed into oblivion / manascrewed every game. This deck angers the red gods. Back to big boros ! :D I have the same at times with 23 lands, can be frustrating. And the odds of hitting 2+ lands after the first mull are "only" 75%, which still make one in four mulligans a double mull.....

Thanks, MDU! Why Viashino Firstblade over Minotaur Skullcleaver, Boros Charm or Spark Trooper? Hmmm. Firstblade and Skullcleaver are very similar. Skullcleaver is easier to cast, but dies to UP. I like that they leave a body behind and do something to the board state unlike Boros Charm or Spark Troo...

Thanks, Johnny Spike for running the numbers. It's nice to get some backing for the greediness of the deck :) I never meant to pretend Scry is actual card advantage (or claim that 24 lands is enough, or even the deck is better than other Big Boros builds for that matter ;-) My own, simplified calc r...

dauntless268

MDU asked for card choice explanations on the Warleader Boros list, so here's an attempt: Deck is basically derived from 2 Burn(ish) Lists and the discussion around it http://diestoremoval.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=159175#p159175 http://diestoremoval.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=166129#p166129 It's n...

Keeping them out of devotion is the right approach, but it needs to be complemented with something that closes out a game in reasonable time. I find the best card against them is Stormbreath Dragon, followed by a Chandra, Pyromaster if indeed the board is clear. Re: racing them: I've tried it, but a...

dauntless268

My build has a 7th scryland, this was the reason why I had YP$ over both Zealot and FDS. The scy is the only reason why 24 lands may be justified. Still possible that I'm wrong with this.

dauntless268

Fair enough LaZerBurn. Never stop the flow of creative ideas, right? :yes: Let me try again: Would 2 Warleader's Helix instead of this Fella' make YP$ even stronger? ;-) I would replace the Boros Guildgate with a Temple of Silence in that case... Since MDU suggested it couple of posts back, has anyo...

dauntless268

I'm not sure I completely understand the logic of including Skynight Legionnaire in PyroRed. Maybe it's a good card, yeah, but it takes away even more burn spells from what's already pretty marginal for making YP$ worthwhile. It seems the Big Boros Variant (or a build without YP$ for that matter) wo...

Common lines: Pact Rat + 3 mana open + vaults = attack then create rat for combat tricks Pack Rat + 3 mana open + removal in hand vs midrange = attack threaten combat tricks, end of turn - see if he casts anything worth killing if not create rat Pact Rat + 3 Mana open vs removal heavy deck = EoT ra...

dauntless268

@ MDU Thanks for your feedback and for taking the deck through the mill. So FDS in place of YP$... Definitely worth considering in the present Meta. Will try this out, as well as a 2/2 split between the two. Re Manabase: I really like the 3 Temple of Silence, it gives you a reasonable chance of havi...

Had the chance to play two 2-mans against Pedros online with my RW Big Boros. We ultimately went 1-1, but I have to say this deck felt just a little ... ahem .... superior. The amount of continuous pressure it can exert is just very good. Can anyone post a guide how to correctly play Pack Rat? I mig...

Hi LaZerBurn, another MTGO only player here... Love the idea of a testing group! Guess we would have to assemble user names, timelines, format/deck to start with, what do you think?

How about running a singleton Pyrewild Shaman MD? That would at least partly solve the manasink issue. I always liked the shaman in PyroRed, but felt the deck was too dense for it to really shine. Here this may actually be different (as a sidenote: it can be used to counter last breath

)

Being non-linear is ideal because it allows thou to fight through resistance. There will be weeks where that isn't important, but when people want to beat aggro, only having a single gear puts your fate too heavily in the luck of the cards.

Hi, joined recently here from another forum... You guys are just great!
