I've been toying with the idea of Forked Bolt, maybe a 2-2 split is a good direction to go. And take out the Command. Thanks for the idea, I'll be trying it out next time! The Lava Spikes are actually rather nice. They add a lot of damage with the Prowess guys and let you gain quicker kills. However...

Hi guys, Quick update ater yesterdays Modern "FNM" at my LGS. There where 36 players who showed up to play, the shop has a 4 rund cap, and I had made some tweeks to the deck after my last post. Including th cosmetical upgrade to foil Delvers. R1, I play a new Affinity player and we have so...

Outburst+Firecraft are nonebo's with the abbot. I prefere Dragon Fodder and Forerunner of Slaughter if you dipping into black.

Jojja

Hi guys. Iv been high on the TL hype train for a while now and playing with Grenzo and his Goblins has been a blast. The Deck is always evolving and super flexible since there is a Goblin for every job possible out there. This is the deck I'm currently playing and it's geared towards a "Midrang...

Jojja

Fair enough, Iv been looking at them lately since I started playing my burn deck again post-Dragons. I'm trying to get as many games testing in as possible before GP Copenhagen where I'm looking to play burn. I'll start running 2 of them in my testing and have a look at running a third in the SB.

Jojja

Congrats on the win man!

How did you feel the Lavamancers where preforming for you? Iv not played mine for 6-7 months now, but with Atarka's in the deck I think it might be worth running 1-2 of them?

Jojja

This is where I'm at with my Burn deck right now. The [card]Atarka's Command[/card] has been over preforming for me so far, it might just be a lucky thing but any creature draws with the command has been nuts. Had a turn 3 Guide+Swiftspear against Junk where my opponent tapped out for his 3/4 Goyf(l...

Jojja

So I took my Tokens to FNM this friday to try out the new cards. Overall I was very, very happy with the deck. I ended up going 3-0-1 due to a very slow opponent game 1 that was new to his B/G constellation deck. With another 5 min I would have won that game, and I only lost g2 due to mana issues. A...

Jojja

I'm planning on it. I don't like Myth Realized. My experience has been that it's great. It has "Prowess" dodges sweepers and sorc removal and really puts a strain on your opponents enchantment hate. Also it's normally a 5/5 or bigger after you play your Ascendancy so it's a respectible be...

Jojja

This is what I'm currently testing with for Jeskai tokens. The deck has been cruching it lately, I might want some number of Soulfire Grand Master and extra Wild Slash in my SB if mono red and other really fast aggro decks start becomming more popular post rotation. But right now the deck has an OK ...

Jojja

It sounds like your taking on so much extra risk for such minimal gain... don't get me wrong I like 2c or 3c burn in some formats like modern but that is mainly because we're lacking in quality burn spells. I understand why folks think its a bad idea. If there are a lot of blue decks, specificly te...

Jojja

@Jojja: Why arn't you playing 4x Fireblast or 4x Bump in the Night? It's a mana issue mostly. I do not want to have to many black spells in hand and no way to cast several of them in a turn. The none-red mana is the bottlenack for this deck, when I was looking at burn spells Tyrant's won out over B...

Jojja

Any red deck not running Outpost Siege is doing it wrong.

I'd say it depends on what the deck is trying to do, I'm testing 2 in the SB. But I'm not sure if I want them in there yet so they will be staying home for now.

Jojja

This is what I'm on right now after spending my time on Jeskai since rotion, I have been longing for my little red creatures and fast games! I'v cut the Hammerhands and Titan's Strength to avoid any 2 for 1 and I'm just focusing on creatures and burn. Goblinslide is a real gem in this deck providing...

Jojja

Interesting. Bump in the Night is better than Lava Spike if playing black, no? The black mana will normally be a bottle neck for me. With Deathrite activations and Tyrant's Choice, and I also want to fetch a Taiga for the green mana. So I found that I wanted to minimize the number of black spells i...

Jojja

So I played this pile at the shop yesterday to a 3-1 finish in the regular Tusday leauge, we where 27 players but caped at 4 rounds. Winning game 1 against some sort of mono blue combo with Thought Lash , Laboratory Maniac , Skill Borrower and some other stuff was a real slog against Thought Lash , ...

Jojja

Aside from the manabase(4 flooded, 1 mountain, 2 island would be much better) this deck is REALLY well built and I'm a fan. Thanks man, I'v made some tweeks to the deck since then. Mostly the mana base as I'm bad at building that. ;) Alesha has been great for me against Abzan/green deck, but in the...

Jojja

The deck is a little more defenisve them most jeskai decks are. I'm not really trying to attack with it untill I have an overwhelming number of guys or if my opponent trys to attack into me then I'll normally block and kill everything he is attacking with and crack back for loads. Alesha has been re...

Jojja

There are advantages and disadvantages. But I'm looking forward to testing it and trying to run it in a tournament that is comming up at the end of Feb. The real draw to the splashes are DRSs ability to mana ramp and giving me access to 3 mana on turn 2, 4 mana on turn 3 ect. The GY hate is also nic...

Jojja

This is the deck I played at a PTQ, going 6-2 and just missing out on the top8. My losses was to a PT player and a Judge ;) Anyway, the deck crushes Abzan of all flavour and is great in the R/W/x mirrors. There are just so much lifegain from the Charms, Seekers and Grand Masters. Alesha is a boss an...

Jojja

Thats fair. I'll be trying it out for a few weeks at least. I think the mana ramp, grave hate and more efficient "lavamancer" will be worth it. Also I like having the option of gaining life in the mirror if needed

Jojja

This is my 75 right now, it gets me away from the Lavamancers and gives me a more reliable turn 3 kill due to the DRS mana ramping. Sometimes the waselands can be a problem, but mostly folks tend to wasteland themselves to protect against Price so the mana has been working out. Anyone else on the Ju...

Jojja

As I said, you cut the none Gods Willing protection/counters to make room.

The reason for running 4 Valorous Stance is its dual nature. Since your using it as both removal and protection you'll need more of them the you would if only using them for protection.

Jojja

MB changes: +4 Valorous Stance (swap out the none Gods Willing protection/counter stuff) SB changes: +2 Monastery Siege, against spot removal decks and tokens. +2 Reality Shift, vs Stormbreath Dragon. Unsures: Jeskai Runemark, I like this but I need to play test it to see if it is better or worse th...

Jojja

Seems I'm alone on the Heroics here :) Anyway, I took the updated list to FNM and went 3-0-1(capped at 4 games) and ended up split for first. There where a lot of control players last night and it was crazy how grindy this deck can be post-SB. I was often outdrawing my opponents and the only thing k...

Jojja

I have just started playing U/R Delver and I'm going a slightly different route then you guys seem to be. I'm a very aggressive player and found the more reactive style of delver that most "stock" decks run to not really fit my play-style. When I was cantripping or cruising I was just draw...

Jojja

Hey folks. So yesterday I decided to sleeve up Tom Ross 75 U/W Heroic deck and give it a try in a 30ish man local tournament. And I have to say I was surprised at how good the deck is! Whenever I played against a Green deck I just could not lose I went 10-0 in the 5 games against all the different g...

Jojja

Fair enough, I might be running to many answers to enchantments with 2 Banishing Light main and 3 Erase in the SB. But I feel like the lifegain match-ups and combo match-up are the worst for the deck so I'm running extras. And Erase is great against constellation decks being a 1 mana removal against...

Jojja

I really like the Deflecting Palm, it's so fun to play with. There is nothing better having your opponents Rino kill his newly played Sorin and gaining no life from it :) How big of a deal is Mindswipe for you? I'm running a similar list but I have 2 Banishing Light's(and a single DTT to help find t...

Jojja

Thoughts on Bow of Nylea in the aggressive variants? I was thinking of running 2-3 main, it's just a great plainswalker for an aggressive deck. It makes tokens, and mystics into actual damage in the mid-game and will help by gaining life in a race or just adding +1/+1 when squaring of in the mirror ...

Jojja

Wingmate Roc+token on an even board against Jeskai is an auto win most games. As a Jeskai player I have only won against a resolved Roc twice in about 10 games. Those games I have a Stormbreath out already and my opponent on less then 10 life so I could sing in and burn him out.

Jojja

Brimaz is a boss against the Abzan decks as well. The T4 is a big deal against all the Bile Blights and Drown they can bring in. It's also huge against aggro where it combos nicely with Anger. I have been running 2 in the main for two weeks now and I'm very happy with them, I have also moved away fr...

Jojja

Congrats on the FNM win! Iv been looking at something similar but with 1 Liliana MB and 1 SB, and going topping off my curve with 2 Abhorrent Overlords and 1 Empty the Pits MB and another in the SB. I also play 8 fetches and 2 Urborg with a total of 25 land. I need to take it to an FNM and try it ou...

Jojja

Depends on how much you give up against aggro decks and if there are any aggro decks in your meta? I'm keeping my Brimaz since it gives me more play against mono red, that is in my opinion a rougher MU then Abzan or the mirror.

Jojja

If you look at the GP Stockholm results you'll see the top8 and top16 was rather diverse. Mono red aggro, mardu midrange, R/W aggro, Abzan midrange/aggro, Temur aggro, Jeskai aggro, Sutai Whip, G/B Enchantress all featured there, thats 8 different archetypes right there. I'd say the format is far fr...

Jojja

Matt: How about Monastery Swiftspear over the Vexing Devil? The lack of trample on the devile makes it the weakest link in the creature base and with 14 sorcery speed cards and 12 instants it might gain loads of value from prowess triggers that your not really "working" for but rather have...

Jojja

I'd add another 2 Stormbreath Dragons to the SB over Prognostic Sphinx and a third Suspension Field over the End Hostilities. End is not really worth it in my experience, I normally go for anger against swarm decks and G/x Devotion since the mana dorks are the problem and Disdainful Stroke and Hushw...

Jojja

Sadly I',m missing out on GP Stockholm this weekend. But this is the deck I have been tweaking for the expected meta of Abzan, MGD, Jeksi and aggro. It's been doing really well in testing. I tend to go very controlling against any of the green decks and it's been really good to me so far and the ext...

Jojja

Sadly I'm working this weekend and cant make the GP, so I'm lending out my Jeskai and Abzan decks to my buddy's who are going. But best of luck to you in the GP, and please tell us how it went for you. On the land situation. I always play 18 lands in my sligh decks if I have more then 4 cmc3 cards i...
