Dies to Removal

with a slegdehammer build like that with a higher curve i wouldn't be surprise if its just an extra white source with scry.

edit: you could also use it to mess with your opponent so they think your running jeskai.

deflecting palm: bad against small agro good against midrange/ big guys. If you don't likeit, don't run it. Where the deck is already solid against small creatures it dosen't hurt to shore up g1's against midrange/big guys. as a 2 of the chance to get both in your opening hand is so small agruing ab...

Resolute Archangel is nice but at 7 mana when we only run 4 painlands and we have mb seeker it probably doesn't belong in a deck like this. Kind of on the fence for rabble mb, it's definitely a clock but as you said its prone to getting walled and feels like he'd be more at home in a deck with anthe...

PirateKingAtomsk

After watching bbd an cvm playing with pain lands in their vs videos, damage from lands is a big part of the game and running 10 could kill you pretty quick so you'd be forced into a 4 of seeker just to balance the damage from your own lands but hes pretty good anyways so it could work.

PirateKingAtomsk

In line with kait's thought of dropping the 5 drops one could run flame-wreathed phoenix . 4 mana gets you either a 5/5 flyer (harder to deal with than ashcloud though it usually means the opponent has a way to deal with it giving you potential insight into the cards they have), or a 3/3 flyer with ...

Going to miss Burning Earth against all the tri-color decks that are going to come out.

PirateKingAtomsk

Playing paper magic, theres a fellow at my lgs thats running junk enchantments while the black devo players are still slashing green so id rather run hushwing over assemble. Also lets me not worry about hit 5 on 23 lands.

PirateKingAtomsk

curios what purpose forge devil serves beside bringing it in against small agro, but with shortcutters and frenzied it seems a bit niche. if that's what its for scouring sands or electricery could be better as a wipe instead of a single target kill.

PirateKingAtomsk

Not liking the bloodseekers mainboard or as a 4 of unless your meta is swamped with small agro that you can burn off ( wouln't wanna waste a 4 damage spell on a creature ( outside of mortars) if I could avoid it just to pump altac a little.

PirateKingAtomsk

It's psuedo devotion where his 2 and 3 drops all add 2 devotion allowing hand dumps off of bte chains like he decribed in his post. It's not always the case but he only runs 2.

PirateKingAtomsk

So i understand how skullcrack is supposed to interact with pro red i.e. MoW, though my friend who's a lvl1 judge has said that at some large tournament a lvl5 judge ruled against it working so my question is does the judges decision affect any ruling outside that tournament or can i go about cracki...

pillar of light looks nice 2w instant exile target creature toughness 4 or greater

PirateKingAtomsk

j mind sculptor in standard with a limit of 1 in a deck wouldn't suck

PirateKingAtomsk

@droppin As long as the stone is untapped then yes.

PirateKingAtomsk

So stoke the flames looks nice would be a card to run in rdw so you havesomething to do with your 1 drops lategame to help finish your opponent off, cant see it being played in burn when we have so few creatures already and would rather be attacking them (granted theres situations were yp$ can make ...

Thanks everyone

PirateKingAtomsk

@selfmedicated thanks dude its funny cause i saw a post on my facebook yesterday saying books 1-4 fuck yeah, i'm harry potter, books 5-7 fuck im harry potter.

PirateKingAtomsk

Is another new ajani really necessary when they just put out 2 new ones over the last 2 blocks?

PirateKingAtomsk

@ elricity
i think the difference is that sligh runs more 1 drops and typically curves out at 3 where as rdw runs a higher curve.

PirateKingAtomsk

Oh wow I'm sorry man, misread your post a couple times and thought you said it was reason for discussion. Sorry I cannot brain today, I have the dumb.

PirateKingAtomsk

@elricity not really as its been discussed and concluded eidolon is great is some matches and ok in others where as yp is good all around hence sb eidolons. Someone placing high in a tourney doing this just confirms what we already know. If the top 4 decks were all burn with md eidolons then it migh...

Going to run shouta's list at my next fnm swapping 1 repraisal for an extra mortars in the sb and deicide instead of the w/t's (still instant speed, hits any artifacts that im worried about (whip/hammer and such) and strips gods from decks). I want to fit another mortar in (for all that it hits incl...

PirateKingAtomsk

does anyone know shouta's decklist (i dont have premium)

PirateKingAtomsk

Hopping aboard the burn train!!! Been doing a LOT of catching up... Must have missed when you guys moved away from Assemble the Legion? Now that black has Golgari Charm? Yep, thoguh it still good agaisnt mono black so the choice to keep it in or not depends on your meta and how many people you expe...

@Toddington
Curious what you'd run for a sideboard with that deck looks solid for an all in deck.

PirateKingAtomsk

Ok I forgot one thing. I have completed 5 hours of testing with eidolon of the great revel. That cards is the real deal folks. It reinforces our mainboard strategy against everything by allowing us to point spells at our opponents critters and bash for damage. It has over performed in my opinion. I...

PirateKingAtomsk

even if your're not seeing the 4th 80% of the time (not sure thats mathed out right) by running fewer copies you reduce the chance of seeing any at any point in a match.

PirateKingAtomsk

[quote=" Elricity » Wed Apr 30, 2014 12:34 pm "]Burn doesn't have room for narrow cards like Titan's strength to support a specific card. It either has to function with the other spells in the deck that we are already running or not. I think everyone knows flamespeaker 1) draws cards and 2...

PirateKingAtomsk

i like master of feasts but what would you side it in against and take out for it, what wouldn't you want it against?

PirateKingAtomsk

Chandra is better for card advantage then flamespeaker and far more synergetic with the deck.

PirateKingAtomsk

running fanatical devotion i'd only run 8 duals for my white splash and only on a rare occasion missed out on having white on time for something like chain but then playing burn i've run into having mana for it and no mountains so it could be a tossup

PirateKingAtomsk

With the amount of 3 color decks that'll probbly pop up after mana confluence comes out how viable is running burning earth? Clearly you dont wanna run it while we're on the dega setup but cutting back to just red and white with the pressure added by our spells it could close out alot of games.

PirateKingAtomsk

Going into Nyx I'm gunna run this for my deck [deck] creatures 21 4 Legion Loyalist 4 Ash Zealot 4 Boros Reckoner 4 Chandra's Phoenix 4 Fanatic of Mogis 1 Iroas, God of Victory spells 16 3 Titan's Strength 3 Shock 3 Magma Jet 4 Lightning Strike 3 Chained to the Rocks lands 23 4 Sacred Foundry 4 Temp...

Went to FNM last week , undefeated until top4 , then lost 2-1 against jund midrange. Rakdo's Return ruined my day. What do we do against that card ? I just figured out i had to cast all my spells as soon as possible trying to race. It almost worked since i won game 2 then lost game 3 topdecking too...

ACHIVEMENT UNCLOCKED

Searing Blood oposite Firedrinker Satyr with Young Pyromancer on board and 2 Chandra Phoenix in graveyard.

Read this as you having a satyr firedancer on board and thought, yeah a 2 mana 8 damage spell is nice.

I find the lack of dynacharges in air decks nowadays disturbing.

edit: to that end the second deck there is really rdw not air

PirateKingAtomsk

so i have a question on wild ricochet, if i were to cast it in response to rev i know i get a copy of rev but to i get the original rev aswell?

PirateKingAtomsk

If your opponent is running creature heavy for a black deck then maybe, but black has so many ways to instantly kill it in response to you casting stuff hes more of a dead card then anything else. Personally I'd side it out.
