Jasper, Did you try any number of Humble Defectors? I've been playing nothing but limited for the past few months but I was going to play a standard event next weekend. I'll either play a deck similar to yours but I am planning to go with Humble Defector (3 or 4) and 2 Searing Blood in the main... I...

Kyarie

Thanks for the report. Good job. I've looked to see if I thought MonoBlack could work. Good to see some people are having success with it. Do you think Nykthos would have helped?

Kyarie

Really would like to hear about the matchups and how you sideboarded.

Kyarie

Rcwraspy, sounds like your round ten was against the Yoshihiko Ikawa list. http://www.mtggoldfish.com/articles/pro-tour-khans-of-tarkir-standard-decklists-a-n It is a Wr that goes wide and tall thanks to token makers, phalanx leader and obelisk of urd. I played it at gameday winning once to Jeskai a...

Sideboard last breath for rabble?

Kyarie

Wow! Hella timing on that harness by force...

Kyarie

Hey Ham, deck got a mention in this article : http://magic.tcgplayer.com/db/article.asp?ID=12000

Wish I had the fetches IRL, looks like a blast to play.

Kyarie

Why not consider Purphoros with the amount of token generation...

Kyarie

Damn, sorry for the double post. The browser crashed and I didn't think it went through.

*edit: <sigh> triple post

Kyarie

I really want to thank all of you who contribute to this thread and DTR. I get the chance to play Magic once a week and maybe twice if I'm lucky. I lurk here and read what you all are doing and more importantly watch the videos you all post and that has made me a much better player over the course o...

Played in FNM last night using a mainboard list the same as MDU mk2 on page 174 with the following sideboard: [deck]2 x Chandra, Pyromaster 3 x Prophetic Flamespeaker 2 x Hushwing Gryff 2 x Pillar of Light 1 x Stoke the Flames 2 x Banishing Light 3 x Mizzium Mortars[/deck] Rnd 1 was vs MonoGreen Dev...

Raph Levy is apparently on Burn this weekend for modern. I'll be curious to see how his decklist stacks up to what you all have been testing.

Kyarie

Congrats on the GPT win.

Kyarie

Went 3-1 again last night with same list as before. NerdBoyWonder GP Phoenix list with the Wear//Tear in the board replaced by Mutavault. Match 1 0-2 vs Naya Hexproof. He won game one handily with a turn 3 witchstalker into unflinching courage. Game 2, I fought through fiendslayer paladin with madca...

Kyarie

Used NerdBoyWonder's list last night at FNM. Changed the Wear//Tear for a Mutavault in the sideboard. Beat a WU aggro Azorius arrest deck homebrew, Junk list similar to the Duke's, and MonoBlack Aggro all 2-0. Lost 1-2 vs a UWb which was the undefeated winner last night. I had problems vs the UWb in...

Kyarie

Trying to play more and get real testing in. Got in 10 games today. Mostly mirror, Bant control or Esper control. Won 2 of 3 in Mirror, won 2 of 2 for Bant and won 4 of 5 for Esper Tested with 4 Mutavault and even with the limited number of games, I got stuck with 2 and 3 Mutavault very early 3 time...

Kyarie

So, since Fated Conflagration can answer a number of problem cards at instant speed, do you feel you don't need Blind Obedience? Would it be better to cut the Spark Trooper and 1 Satyr Firedancer for the Blind Obedience?

Kyarie

Had a little time to test today. Took MDU's list but switched the 3 Ashley's for YP$. I felt that YP$ main actually weakened the deck against G/R Monsters because you lose the threat of burn and first strike and the occasional use of it. I felt like the speed vs MBD fell off and turned the match gri...

I played vs Jund last Friday and Domri was pretty effective when coupled with SBD and PolyK... He was running a more midrange than aggro slant though. You have the rampagers for post combat activation and if you get Varolz into the act, you will occasionally have awesome scavenged counters on things...

Kyarie

Thank you and well explained. I'm much more used to creature kill and it is hard to think I should side more out.

BTW Love the banners.

Kyarie

I had this entirely typed out this morning and then the browser hiccuped and at it. :/ Anyway, here it is again. FNM with Rw Burn I often lurk but rarely chime in. I wanted to add to the data pool for this deck because I am really enjoying playing it and would like to see continued refinement. James...

Kyarie

Awesome job, James! Read the written coverage of your match. Do they have the matches up on YouTube? I would love to see it.

I'm still debating Burn or MonoBlack Aggro for today and James is sure making me want to play burn.

Good luck to all playing in Game Day today.

Kyarie

Annihilating fire over bolt of kerranos, if you at more burn, fated conflagration and burning earth in the side... I would think the satyr firedancer could do some good work with your list. Boros Reckoner in the side if you have fated conflagration for that last zing to the face if needed...

Kyarie

Little late but congrats, Guttler/James - sorry you couldn't try for the win.

Kyarie

Good Job! Glad to hear you performed well.

Kyarie

So here is what I have been playing around with: [deck]Creatures: 1 x Underworld Cerberus 3 x Purphoros, God of the Forge 4 x Ash Zealot 3 x Tymaret, the Murder King 1 x Lotleth Troll 4 x Spike Jester 4 x Burning Tree Emissary 4 x Rakdos Shred-Freak 3 x Goblin Shortcutter Spells: 2 x Abrupt Decay 3 ...

Kyarie

I put this together and use it for my fun deck. It is a crack up for two-headed giant. I have made a few changes to the mana base because it was more difficult to cast Ashley than I would like. I made a few other changes that I don't remember offhand. When I get back to the house, I'll check my deck...

For those interested in R/b Devotion, look at what Kevin Crimin did over at GatheringMagic. http://www.gatheringmagic.com/kevin-crmin-01022014-rogue-deckbuilder-devotion-to-rakdos/ He has a few videos and talks about why black rather than white and how his thoughts changed about cards to keep and ad...

Kyarie

@Calamity - I finally put Walter White into play and boarded the same in vs MonoBlue but removed the Satyrs and Cacklers and left in the shocks. I only had time for one preboard game (lost) and 1 post board game (won) between rounds of two-headed giant. I think siding in the additional chained to ro...

Kyarie

Excellent article Z. It is important to remember that decks that have a very high individual card power aren't looking for the jet as much as those decks with intrinsic card synergy. Like Z said, not every deck wants jet but it can provide good sequencing for those that do.

Kyarie

Played this for devotion red tonight at FNM: [deck]4 Rakdos Cackler 3 Firedrinker Satyr 1 Legion Loyalist 4 Ash Zealot 4 Rageblood Shaman 4 Boros Reckoner 4 Fanatic of Mogis 1 Purphoros, God of the Forge 1 Chandra, Pyromaster 3 Shock 4 Magma Jet 4 Lightning Strike 1 Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx 21 Mountai...

Kyarie

Okay, first post here. I have been playing aggro red variants for the last season and since Fanatic of Mogis was spoiled I've been wanting to do a red devotion list maximizing his potential. I like what Str1fe5 has put together but I don't have all that yet and was looking through my cards and came ...
