Yeah I like both of these lists. I'm honestly not sure which one is going to be better. Goblin Piledriver may just be bad in this format. It could be amazing. No real way to know yet without testing and a base of tournament results. If it is in fact just bad, the Exquisite Firecraft list is definite...

How do y'all feel about the green splash for Atarka's Command and the one-of Become Immense in the Goblins deck? My feeling is that just because we have access to an incredibly powerful card in Goblin Piledriver doesn't mean we should ignore Atarka's Command which is almost as powerful. I'm thinking...

I heard there was a guy that posts in this thread that plays a lot of burn online.

I haven't been able to get in any more serious testing with the Nacatl burn list but I've gone 4-0 in two local tournaments with the this list. Creatures (14) 4 Goblin Guide 4 Monastery Swiftspear 4 Wild Nacatl 2 Eidolon of the Great Revel Spells (26) 4 Lightning Bolt 4 Rift Bolt 4 Lava Spike 4 Boro...

So the question is how do we cheat this card into play?

DixieFlatline

Would you guys run this in Standard RDW? If so, how many? 1 or 2 is my guess. Yeah this card will probably be a 1-2 of in Standard red aggro decks. Best case scenario is that it steals you a game here and there. I doubt it will make much of an impact in any format at least not for non-combo red bas...

Played about 20 games last night with the Naya Nacatl Burn list against Affinity for testing. I went 11-9 (no sideboard) against a decent pilot. Nacatl really forced the Affinity player to hold back a bit and be more careful to leave up blockers so I'd call it a success at least in that matchup. Sma...

I have a question about siding versus UWR (which is still popular in my local meta), do you guys think it's good to keep Searing Blaze after G1 to target Snap/Spellskite ? Or it is too few creatures to be reliable ? I definitely think you should be boarding out Searing Blaze against UWR. The only o...

I think it has merit. Josh Utter Leyton was actually running Nacatl Burn at GP Charlotte. I'm not sure what he cut from the stock lists for it though...I think it might've been EIdolon of the Great Revel, but I'm not entirely sure. Oh wow I didn't know that, thanks for pointing it out. Looks like h...

DixieFlatline

Not sure how I feel about Wild Nacatl, I know JHS ran Tasigur, the Golden Fang in that slot before with success but I feel that if your going to run a creature which doesn't impact the game right away (which isn't Grim, since Grim is more of a control card) you might as well run Tarmogoyf since he ...

DixieFlatline

No I managed to dodge the mirror all day but I definitely know of JW. Pretty well know dude around here. I'm sure we've played each other a few times around town.

Did this happen to be the Atlanta PPTQ?

Yep it was.

DixieFlatline

I hate merfolk, it is just winnable if you are on the play and have a fast start with a couple creatures. As I mentioned in my last post, I played in an 86 person PPTQ yesterday. Did horribly, went 4-3 and two of my three losses was to Merfolk. One of decks was piloted by a good player, the other w...

Hey what's up hello. I haven't posted here in a while but I've been lurking. Grats to Whole for the top 8 in Charlotte. I was there as well and was able to watch a few of your matches. Good stuff dude! MDU, I've been watching your YouTube videos, always good to hear your thoughts on matchups so than...

2-2 tonight, beating an aggro deck and bw control (pheonix was great here), lost to junk (phoenix was bad here) and mirror. Deflecting Palm is the shit. Deflecting Palm someone elses Deflecting Palm is definitely the shit. I was thinking about that play this morning, Purp. That basically won me the...

2 Super IQs were taken down yesterday by burn lists packing Ash Zealot. I expect BG will rise in popularity, and control will certainly be gaining headway. I think it might be time for Ash Zealot to creep back into lists. [deck] 4 Ash Zealot 4 Chandras Phoenix 4 Magma Jet 4 Lightning Strike 4 Boros...

Font of Ire is good. I won;t let anyone tell me otherwise.

Damn right. Bad Lava Axe? You mean basically a Rift Bolt with suspend 2 that deals five damage.

And I'm at least half serious about that.

DixieFlatline

@Closed: Good game - it was quite close, I ended up winning that event beating you, Junk and another Rw Burn deck. I'll be uploading that set next week Wednesday, I can upload it earlier if you want since I make some comments about your sequencing choices (if you also recorded it from you end we ca...

My match starts at 2h15m http://www.twitch.tv/sybexmtg/b/515790319 Fuck me, what was that guy listening to? Absolutely awful.

ASSEMBRUUUUUUU

DixieFlatline

Actually I doubt that Temple of Malice is better than the second Boros Guildgate, if we're making an argument for consistency. 11 white sources is better than 10 white sources and an extra scry? I remember feeling a lot more comfortable with the addition of the 11th white source in the previous ite...

DixieFlatline

So this: [deck] 1 Boros Guildgate 8 Mountain 3 Mutavault 4 Sacred Foundry 2 Temple of Malice 1 Temple of Silence 4 Temple of Triumph [/deck] Doesn't look as pretty as all the 1-ofs ;) Still, 19 red sources is much better than 18, so I think there is a reasonable argument for it; its a more conserva...

DixieFlatline

Any argument for dropping one Mutavault and adding another copy of Temple of Malice? With the mana base just a bit tighter after sideboarding, one extra black source could be a potential game changer. Ofc, this deck loves scry and I love it too. Fixing draws imba. Sad to see AZ go but trading aggres...

Should have known anyone posting under "Purp" is a GA boy

I play out of Wasteland of course - the most turnt up LGS in North America.

Yeah I just thought the deck was interesting and test a bit with it basically out of my frustration from playing R/W Burn mirrors online. Where was that IQ? Dalton?

DixieFlatline

Of course I would post this in the wrong section. Would a mod mind moving this to Developing? Sorry about that!

DixieFlatline

An LGS here in the Atlanta area hosted a free 1k last Saturday. A lot of folks showed up and the tournament wound up being 7 rounds. An interesting deck took home the cheddar and Leif Paulson was kind enough to post his list and write a bit about his experiences. I think the deck with be of interest...

The most skill testing part of this deck and most other red decks in the current format is knowing when to deal with planeswalkers and when to ignore them. The only planeswalker I ever find myself worrying about is Domri - especially considering its interaction with Courser of Kruphix. Thoughts on ...

DixieFlatline

I don't hate Chandra in the mirror. If it eats two burn spells I'm happy with that trade. You obviously wouldn't run her out with a Phoenix or Mutavault on the opposite side of the table and no mana available. Absolutely. I've found myself overly concerned about Plainswalkers, mainly Domri, and was...

YP is just for the board to compensate for the fact that a) The mirror is getting stronger The mirror is everywhere. In the last IQ I played, I went up against two mirrors in a six round tournament. In both matches my opponents and I both brought in BlOb and the games just felt like a coin flip. I'...

Howdy. Good to have another God-blessed southerner around.

Welcome.

And what do you mean? This is a forum specialized in Tolarian Academy decks. We just allow other formats because we're cool like that.

Man get dem ol Hogwartz decks outta here.

Thanks for the welcome!

What's up DtR? I found this forum while scraping the web for MTG content after I ran out of internet at work. I was pleasantly surprised to find such active and thoughtful discussions in a place I hadn't heard about. I appreciate the smaller scope of DtR as opposed to gathering ALL the magics in a s...
