Dies to Removal

LP, of the Fires

I'm playing this with nexus champion saraad and esportal over loatheb and fallen hero. Decks pretty good. Zoo matchup is abysmal and handlock is dicey, but everything else is even to favorable it feels like. You chew up druid, you can play a long game vs. control decks if they don't apply much press...

Deck seems very strong. One problem I've face when playing with it is that you're actually comically bad against Archamage Anotnidas.

LP, of the Fires

that's a big step. it's a shame this realization did not come sooner.

He's right ya know.

It's not even about red. It's just about approaching deck selection with a rational mind and expanding your range.

LP, of the Fires

I actually think tech cards are generally terrible cards in Mid Shaman. The deck is naturally good against control and midrange decks and all the tech cards serve to do is make you weaker against agro; at least in my opinion.

LP, of the Fires

Mech Shaman for life.

LP, of the Fires

Creatures+Command.

Command is the shit. Jace is broken.

I still prefer harbinger and jeskai charms to rabble/stoke, but I do like the 1 roast as another answer to big guys that can gain you a bunch of life with soulfire.

LP, of the Fires

Swore off Jeskai and promptly 0-3rd Gp with mono-red. Decided to play jeskai list buddy made tonight and went 4-0(8-1 in games only losing the game I mulled to 5).

More then anything, PT tilted me because the two decks me and my 'team' worked on where the best performing decks and I was hoping we could keep that shit under wraps till the GP.

As is, I've tested red and Thopters against everything and thopters wins slightly more with all the tech we added.

LP, of the Fires

Worth noting also, a reasonable amount of players where playing Flip Chandra, specifically the Chechz. It is a card that if it flips is decent in the mirror as it both pressures and controls similar to Pyromaster, but with a higher risk/reward.

LP, of the Fires

More Chandra's in top 8 then Jace.

Scoreboard!

LP, of the Fires

LOT of mono-red in the feature match area.

LP, of the Fires

I just found that whenever I could cast them, I'd be happier with a burn spell to kill my opponent and the activated ability was at odds with using my mana on other things.

LP, of the Fires

Cut a mountain for a green source, play the 3rd roast in your sideboard, maybe.

Good Luck.

LP, of the Fires

Something non-intuitive that just occurred to me is that since we're running a bunch of searing bloods now, and more temples, it makes a lot of sense to cut the 4th lightning strike for the final wild slash. THIS COULD END UP BEING JUST BAD. But it makes sense in theory and I'm gonna try it out. Als...

LP, of the Fires

I like arc lightning the most because it clears outburst tokens and you can bring it in vs. control.

That and in a pinch it can kill a rabblemaster and a token.

LP, of the Fires

if you worried about mono-red, cards that are great there include:

Arc lightinging

Twin Bolt

Scouring Sands

1 burn spells(magma spray, wild slash, fiery conclusion)

And in the maindeck, you can add more token makers.

LP, of the Fires

RE rabble, I find myself regularly messing with the numbers, but I always keep some number in the deck because routinely there are situations that occur where you just play a rabblemaster and it wins the game.

LP, of the Fires

I'd still want 4 abbot, but this list looks very good. Like...VERY VERY GOOD.

Top level.

LP, of the Fires

Chapin did a podcast a while back about his grixis deck and he mentioned that the CoCo matchup was basically unwinnable and for that reason, he suggested adding cards like anger of the gods, damnation, and magma spray to the board. I can attest that resolved Voice of resurgence and kitchen finks res...

LP, of the Fires

Pia and Kia was by far the worst card in the deck when I played.

Rabblemaster is worth running because of how good it is with atarka's command.

I'll post the list I'm testing in a bit.

LP, of the Fires

So yeah, this deck is dirty as fuck. I'm skeptical that Jasper built it right on the first pass, but that only serves to show that it's the truth. The fact that we now have two prowess guys is pushing me to believe that atarka red may be the superior build if only because of how nuts command is with...

LP, of the Fires

If you think of exiling from the top as them same as exiling from the bottom, you'll realize that aside from scry interactions, it's zero use fretting about what you could miss on.

LP, of the Fires

I also just checked week 4 decklists and deckhand was in the majority of the lists, and there where twice as many teachers as shreeders. Cleaf was in I believe 1 of 5 decks.

LP, of the Fires

Hyped and Ostaka definitely are NOT the best rogue players lol.

LP, of the Fires

Those cards are all bad right now (Deckhand, Van Cleef is always bad, Teacher is bad vs Patron). My list isn't as good as yours in theory, but itsmuch better in the present meta. :( This is all bad and or wrong. Deckhand is never bad. Good V agro, great at procing traps from hunter, helps you burst...

LP, of the Fires

me and Dpaine played a couple games with the Big Red deck and that deck has mad potential.

LP, of the Fires

any way to translate the stuff on the site into engrish?

LP, of the Fires

For RDW, I bring in Twin bolt and Scouring sands(you can play arc lighting over twin bolt if you expect lots of rabblemasters) and I take out Titan's strength. For the last 3, it can be any combination of things, though I usually go with some combination of stoke/firecraft since they're expensive te...

LP, of the Fires

What don't you like about the SB purp? I dislike having 6 weak cards vs control, and only 3 cards to bring in. UB players at my store have 8-10 cards for the matchup. Remember the deck has EIGHT prowess guys so the titan's strengths and wild slashes are actually pulling more weight the then printed...

LP, of the Fires

What don't you like about the SB purp?

LP, of the Fires

I've definitely searing blooded a monastery swiftspear for prowess against control decks before.

LP, of the Fires

Rule # of testing new decks: Don't change anything until after you've played some games with it.

LP, of the Fires

I shit on devotion. Searing blood kills all the dorks and manifest from whisperwood and with all the prowess, it eats coursers that try to block your swiftspears. Searing blood is good vs. everything that is not Ux control. Against abzan it kills nissa and den protector while being live vs. lategame...

LP, of the Fires

I actually feel compelled to play hunter cause I'm somehow rank 60 with ~440 wins so gold isn't far off(Undertaker, unleash the hounds and buzzard used to all be broken as shit at one point I guess). With Hybrid Hunter, you should always keep your 1-drops on the play in opener and just raw dog them,...

LP, of the Fires

Thought's on Eidolon: It's not bad. I'm not the biggest fan of it because It's fairly mediocre to bad on the draw against Devotion and Abzan decks, but it's pretty punishing on the play. My issue with it is that when you get later in the game, it's significantly worse then the 1-drops and abbot. RE:...

LP, of the Fires

RE Purps Deck: Now that I've looked at it again, I can see it is most definitely full-assed, but I still disagree with large chunks of it. All the wonky cards in the list are basically there to justify each other and I see that as a weakness. For instance magma jet. That card is BAD. Any card that d...
