Now that is interesting, how were the two landfall guys?

[deck]Land (21) 4 Bloodstained Mire 4 Cinder Glade 1 Forest 7 Mountain 1 Windswept Heath 4 Wooded Foothills Creature (15) 4 Abbot of Keral Keep 2 Goblin Heelcutter 2 Lightning Berserker 4 Monastery Swiftspear 3 Zurgo Bellstriker Instant (12) 4 Atarka's Command 1 Become Immense 3 Collateral Damage 4 ...

dpaine88

Well goodbye Lightning Strike but it does feel like Atarka Tokens may be good enough even without it since Drown and Bile are rotating.

dpaine88

So pissed...

dpaine88

Thinking of what to cut alongside Titans Strength for the 22nd land and 4th Thunderbreak. My instincts tell me to cut a Stoke as I dont really want to cut any of the early drops. Stoke is another expensive spell so I think cutting something on the higher end of the curve makes sense. Usually dont wa...

dpaine88

Good point, the less versitile your cards and less 1-of's the worse Dig is. I guess Jace slows down your clock but being able to flashback burn for the win and also pitch lands to find burn since this deck doesnt want a lot of lands like the more typical Jeskai deck seems good. Basically I think Fir...

dpaine88

Jace just seems so good in a deck like that. Wonder if Jace should be main deck to dig for burn and flash it back while you have Satyr Firedancer in the sideboard for creature heavy matchups. Wonder also if Dig through Time is better than O Command since you are putting spells in the graveyard each ...

dpaine88

Good fuckin job man!!! Way to get fucked up and kick some ass. I bet you won some serious coin. Was really hating magic lately but this deck has me excited. I get to play with my set of gameday regents =) Few questions- How many rounds was the event? What did you play against? Hows the matchup vs Ha...

This list got 2nd at a WMCQ [deck] Instant (18) 1x Clash of Wills 3x Dig Through Time 1x Jeskai Charm 3x Lightning Strike 3x Magma Spray 4x Ojutai's Command 1x Stoke the Flames 2x Valorous Stance Sorcery (2) 2x Roast Land (26) 3x Battlefield Forge 4x Flooded Strand 2x Island 4x Mystic Monastery 2x P...

I wanted to run it tonight at Wednesday night standard but couldnt get the last 2 insight so stuck with the GP london tweaked list. It does seem good but not running Jace just seems crazy in its own right. Doubt I will play it this weekend at PPTQ since I wouldn't feel super comfortable playing it c...

dpaine88

Thats fine, what are you running? I'm on Jeskai for standard but never played Legacy so gonna try n pull Burn together.

dpaine88

Ok cool we are on the same page.

LSV and Finkle/Shahar were all on the burn heavy version but I'm not a fan at all n think mono red is just better than that.

Hows Harbinger for you? Surprised most lists arent actually running it anymore. I was looking at Stratus dancer in that spot possibly.

dpaine88

Mono red mana issues(always screw or flood n hella mulligans) are pissing me off to the point I'm off it and onto Jeskai.

have you guys been testing the burn heavy version or creatures+command?

dpaine88

Been mostly posting in the deck threads but figured I'd ask in here if anyoine is going to the SCG Invitational in Jersey and wants to work on decks together for it?

dpaine88

It is a bit slower but does have 11 drops. Though the more I think about it wild slash is really good in the deck and in general right now. What do you consider the best version of red right now to combat Abzan? I have a scg super IQ this weekend and always play 2-3 junk decks. I was thinking atarka...

dpaine88

What did you find it lacked against Abzan control? Dragon whisperer certainly isnt great but Wild Slash sucks in the other decks too and this one isnt running Slash main. I dont really see many of the other cards being poor in the matchup as the fliers seem good here too. Lightning Besereker still g...

dpaine88

Wow lotta action on here after I've been on vacation for a week!! Like where you are at recently MDU. Also that Lee Shee Tian Pro Tour RDW Fliers deck looks pretty awesome and I remember something similar popping up last season- "Medium Red" Is there a reason you are off the deck now? It c...

dpaine88

One single RDW in the top 32 of SDGP.

Thought sideboard hate wasn't gonna effect the deck huh?

dpaine88

Card was good for me in multiple matchups, mostly on the play. Was good in the mirror as well, just gotta wait for the right spot when your opp is very low on cards or tapped out. Also nice vs Abzan and Ux control decks.

dpaine88

Actually my friend on Temur was at this past weekends Regionals not the 2 Day Open series.

His deck is also something like

Bunch of lands

4 Swiftspear
4 Dragon Fodder
4 Hordeling Outburst

4 Stoke
4 Slash
4 Blood
4 Command
4 Firecraft
4 Strike

2 Treasure Cruise
1 Days undoing

dpaine88

Really? See I've always heard red described as the easiest deck to beat if you really want to. People hate losing to red and at least the people I test with are packing hate. I will agree people skimp on red hate for Pro Tour consistently but other events I'm not so sure. I agree that more often tha...

dpaine88

Im on vacation in Virginia Beach this week but id strongly consider jeskai burn/aggro if I was playing this weekend cause there is gonna be a ton of hate for mono red.

dpaine88

hahah so true.

I pulled one, traded for two and shelled out the cash for one at $30.

dpaine88

Two nearly identical Jeskai burn decks t4'd different regionals this weekend. Reddit post from one of the guys https://www.reddit.com/r/spikes/comments/3fjp10/standard_southeast_regionals_top_4_with_jeskai/ [deck]Creatures (14) 4 Abbot of Keral Keep 4 Mantis Rider 2 Soulfire Grand Master 4 Jace, Vry...

dpaine88

I like Stephen Neals deck except just 20 mountain and the full 4 Searing Blood.

Maybe find room for 1 Goblin Glory Seeker.

dpaine88

It is still powerfull too but people were probably more prepared for that style of deck rather than the new versions.

dpaine88

Well this deck is gonna be getting hated on pretty bad I'm imagining.

Considering looking into Jeskai burn. Lots of 4 damage spells , Jace, mantis, soulfire.

dpaine88

Heres the list I ran with for Regionals in Worcester MA, somewhere around 250 people , 9 rounds. I ended up 7-2. I watched all the PT red deck coverage I could and tried to put together the Red Deck that had 3 7-0 players. I was close but didnt see Titans Strength or Heelcutter before Sunday. [deck]...

dpaine88

I think temur tokens could be legit. I've played the guy a few times in the past so we were talking throughout the day before we got paired so I knew his deck. 4 swift, the 8 token makers, all the burn and command and then 1-2 days undoing and 1 cruise. Told me he never lost any games he resolved Da...

dpaine88

Run the Pro Tour list in top8, Pat Cox.

I was two cards off.

dpaine88

Won my last round vs Abzan Aggro to go 7-2 but my crappy breakers put me in 17th...grrr cost me $50.

Deck kicks serious ass tho.

On my phone, thoughts n deck list when I get home.

dpaine88

Yep basically that list. Made my board this morning 4 Roast 2 Chandra Pyromaster 1 Outpost Seige 2 Magma Spray 1 Molten Vortex 1 arc Lightning 3 Scab-Clan Berserker 1 Harness by force 6-2 now beating a atarka tokens burn deck splashing for Days undoing and cruise. Tough matchup with all his tokens b...

dpaine88

5-2,still in it. Won a mirror and GB elves which is a joke.

On mono red, not sure if I miss command or not. Really loving the extra one drops. Running 3 Zurgo, 4 swift, 3 glory seeker, 2 bezerker.

dpaine88

9 rounds here too. 3-2 just lost to GR devo. Mulled to 5 g1 then 4 g2. Up to 12 mulligans on 5 rounds of magic. I swear I'm cursed with little red decks. Deck is insanely good though. Able to win the over half my games when I've mulled 12 times and my opponents combined mulliganed 2 times. Think I c...

dpaine88

What was the temur deck like ? I played it and raped it but he was running heir, knuckle blade, shaman of great hunt and Stormbreath with a lot of painful mana.

Beat UB thopters, Temur aggro n jeskai tokens so far. Lost to Abzan control having 7 rhinos on the match n mull to 5 g3.

dpaine88

Battling back, 3-1. Glory seeker is legit. Pairs very well with burn.

dpaine88

Man... Not my day so far... 1-1 at Regionals.

Played 5 games of magic, mulliganed 6 times and got seige rhino'd 7 times.

dpaine88

Let's kill it at Regionals, good luck everyone. Burn some faces

dpaine88

It could be 3 Glory Chaser and 2 Beserker, I'm not quite sure but I saw more Beserker than glory chaser.

I think we've been on the right track here guys but I trust the pros that have been testing in a house 24/7 for the past week.
