The spear and the kabuto are in for flavor, not gonna really take those out. Deathrender I can see, though I wanted to give it a chance. Still haven't seen it in a game yet, sadly. That which was taken is a legendary, and again was in for flavor and the ability to make things indestructible. Cloak v...

RaidaTheBlade

Kiki doesn't really fit amazingly well here, sadly ;-; I did consider them, but extraplanar was added in a slightly earlier version of the deck, when getting to 5 or 6 mana was not nearly as reliable. With this version (I added 2 extra lands) gauntlet or caged may end up being better. If I were to u...

Do you like the color Red? Do you play for fun? Do you want to not win that often, but have a hell of a time doing so? Well then do I have a deck for you! All joking aside, this is my very thematic Mono-Red Legendaries deck. It's doesn't win all the time, but it is a LOT of fun to play if you're a f...

RaidaTheBlade

Standard Open was just win by normal Rabble Red, running tom ross's invitational lost pretty much 1-for-1. I know a lot of people here (Z) don't care too much about those results, but I think it is relevant as far as showing that normal Rabble Red isn't bad either. I think we can all agree that rabb...

RaidaTheBlade

Really solid 2-drop for a deck styled like the current rabble red (lots of 1-drops) Which is good, cause the deck's losing all it's current 2-drops, and the only thing left was eidolon, which can be rough to play mainboard against a lot of decks. I like it a lot, don't think it'll be op or anything,...

RaidaTheBlade

I know I was talking up mardu midranged, but Narset midrange or control looks very nice.

rabblemaster, brimaz, this...

God I love this card. I want its babies... I run a merieke ri berit copy/control edh and this is so sexy...

RaidaTheBlade

Mardu's got a lot of sweet stuff for something like that. Rabblemaster and Brimaz as 3-drop army-in-a-can creatures Zurgo and Stormbreath as 5cmc bombs (Zurgo's not too bad, imo) Sarkhan, Elspeth, and maybe Sorin and Chandra as powerful walker backup. Some good removal spells like downfall and the n...

RaidaTheBlade

5 cmc is looking like some sort of sweet spot in this set. I'm starting to think there might be a good Mardu midrange deck here

RaidaTheBlade

...Sssshhhhhh, I'm a stupid.

RaidaTheBlade

A little long-winded, but there's an edh combo that came to mind when I saw this. (May be an easier way to do it though, and this really isn't practical) This card, Isochron Scepter , Pull From Eternity , Goblin Welder , an artifact sac outlet, and an artifact creature token factory like Flamewright...

@Aodh, list? Also, given the talk with Val and what I've experienced from playing the deck some more, what do y'all think of this: [deck] Creatures (27) 4 Rakdos Cackler 4 Akroan Crusader 4 Foundry Street Denizen 3 Legion Loyalist 4 Burning-Tree Emissary 4 Ash Zealot 4 Eidolon of the Great Revel Lan...

RaidaTheBlade

Fair enough.

RaidaTheBlade

So if I go down to 3 harness, and drop the searing bloods, that's 4 slots to work with. I still want 3 harness, because my lgs is green and midrange heavy. I'm thinking maybe 2 Seismic Stomp for against aggro, since that enables a blowout swing. I got into a situation tonight in the mirror where we ...

Current build of Sligh: [deck] Creatures (27) 4 Akroan Crusader 4 Rakdos Cackler 4 Satyr Hoplite 3 Foundry Street Denizen 4 Burning-Tree Emissary 4 Ash Zealot 4 Eidolon of the Great Revel Lands (19) 19 Mountain Spells (14) 4 Madcap Skills 4 Thunderous Might 3 Titan's Strength 3 Hammerhand Sideboard ...

RaidaTheBlade

Since I'm thinking about it, might as well explain my above deck. It's a kinda combo between Boss Sligh and devotion. It has the same style of quick small creatures and buff spells/enchantment that boss sligh does, but takes a few queues from the devotion decks' explosiveness with BTE and nykthos. H...

RaidaTheBlade

I actually plan on adding hammerhand to my devotion/boss sligh mix deck I posted. Current plan is to look something like: [deck] Creatures (27) 4 Rakdos Cackler 3 Akroan Crusader 3 Satyr Hoplite 2 Nyxborn Rollicker 4 Burning-Tree Emissary 4 Ash Zealot 4 Eidolon of the Great Revel 3 Prophetic Flamesp...

RaidaTheBlade

Anybody wanna critique? It's a bit of an odd one, but I'm wanting to cash out of standard some, but my lgs is a bad environment for full-on boss sligh, and still not sure how I feel about the normal devotion build, so this is a tiny twist on it. [deck] Creatures (29) 4 Akroan Crusader 4 Rakdos Cackl...

RaidaTheBlade

Switched it up to a more traditional aggro curve. I had slowed down a tad too much, and my control/b matchup had gone a bit too far south, whereas its now back to stupidly favorable again.

RaidaTheBlade

ALWAYS learn the word for bathroom whenever you travel. Also learn how to politely ask where it is.

Signs should point you there, but it's always good to know just in case.

RaidaTheBlade

Thanks for all the birthday wishes

And happy birthday to L_D too!

RaidaTheBlade

That is true, but there are several reasons I haven't gone with him. First off is the mana. This deck historically has mana issues. Having the 4 temples and 2 gates helps mitigate this pretty well, but I digress. I have 8 mountains and 4 swamps. Which is only 12 untapped red sources, and 8 black one...

RaidaTheBlade

Alright, so I'm mostly set on the majority of the deck remaining the same. I really like the power level of the deck in general, and it feels really strong in most situations. That said, I'm still not 100% happy on the last few slots in the mainboard. [deck]Creatures 21 4 Rakdos Cackler 4 Spike Jest...

RaidaTheBlade

Heh, thanks everyone :3

RaidaTheBlade

-sneaks back in- I was at an anime convention, so only one game day, but got the mat anyway. I like it. Also, now even more upset that on theros gameday I got second twice in a row, cause otherwise I'd have 4 mats in a row e.e Also, hi again everyone :hi: Been a long while. School got heavy on me, a...

RaidaTheBlade

Was at an anime convention this weekend instead of my lgs for gameday or at GP Atlanta, (I've apparently become a filthy casual e.e), but they were actually running a gameday at the con, which I won.

RaidaTheBlade

Most midrange matchups, since it allows us to actually fight them well. Satyr also suffers there because their bigger creatures make him a hindarince in a good few circumstances. It also helps vs aggro decks, since bigger beaters plus a whip gives us another out to them. Not only that, but I can't t...

RaidaTheBlade

Also thinking sbout crypt incursion in the side (instead of duress) for vs burn or red aggro/devotion. It's probably more cute than good, but between either their creatures or ours, it might be pretty effective. Ooh, and also hoses the reanimator deck that'd seeing a little bit of play... I'm actual...

RaidaTheBlade

-sneaks back in-

Happy day of birth, Alex!

-sneaks back out-

RaidaTheBlade

Still thinking on this deck more, since I am tempted to start going tothe bigger tournies again. The deck is actually pretty good right now, since it runs fairly roughshod over black devo (monoblack or b/g or whatever extra flavor) and eats esper/uw control for breakfast. G/R or Jund monsters is als...

RaidaTheBlade

Heh, I understand ya on all of those. I'd test them myself, but I don't have the mana confluences which are kinda needed for that.

RaidaTheBlade

Yeah, 4x mana confluence would get scary... Burn is still a thing, and this deck can barely race it as is. I don't want to imagine trying to do so while also taking massive damage from our own lands. I'm personally happy with my 2 guildgates :P I'm not denying it, I would love gnarled scarhide over ...

RaidaTheBlade

I think it's an interesting idea, but I just really don't know on the mana. My mana isn't ideal since I still use guildgates, but even with mana confluence pushing the mana too far just doesn't feel right. It might work, but I love cackler because of the split color. Being able to play it off of eit...

RaidaTheBlade

AIR is tough, but it has two key cards to beat them. Young pyromancer and whip of erebos. Against them, you have to remove their stuff constantly, and then follow one of two gameplans. You can drop the whip, and rely of lifegain from your bigger beaters, or you can play young pyromancer, and use him...

RaidaTheBlade

Just went 5-0-1 at fnm with this. FNM isn't the best testing ground, but just wanted to post anyway since it's my first standard thing since the fnm after born's gameday, so I haven't contributed much recently. [deck]Creatures 21 4 Rakdos Cackler 4 Spike Jester 3 Young Pyromancer 4 Chandra's Phoenix...

RaidaTheBlade

Interested in seeing Jedi_Knight's list still, but I like the idea of throwing in yp$ and having kinda a pyro-sligh style... The current pyro-rakdos lists that the pyrored thread has go real cheap on the mana curve. I'd like to see something a bit more like the old pyrodragons build. Kinda our creat...
