Yeah, I have 3 SB and i cut the single shattering spree

I don't think because a deck includes Javelin it makes it a "burn" deck. Javelin answers some important stuff in modern, exarch, spellskite, goyf (most of the times)..............players on 4 or less life lol. In MY experience I found that the other matchups where u'd use molten rain (matc...

Boarded it in in all the monsters matchups and never drew it so I can't really say

A bit overdue but been busy whole week. I took the playmat at gameday with the following list: [deck] Creatures 4 Chandra's Phoenix 4 Young Pyromancer Spells 2 Chained to the Rocks 1 Banishing Light 4 Shock 2 Searing Blood 4 Lightning Strike 4 Warleader's Helix 4 Boros Charm 4 Magma Jet Lands 2 Boro...

Played the deck again today. Went 3-1 this time. Got my ass handed to me by merfolk :(. Beat robots, pod and storm tho. I drew 6 lands in game one and only 2 in game 2, couldn't activate my shrine. So i guess the loss was just due to variance, altho the rate at which they produce creatures with vial...

@MDU yea its really good vs tron and decent vs jund. I tested it vs robots and hated it tbh. The threats in affinity aren't (normally) the lands, i'd rather be killing signal pests/overseers/skirges and have the javelin to close out the game quickly. Most of all, i just like that flame javelin deals...

I played Heal's list at a modern FNM and went 4-0. Beating Affinity, Twin and UWR. I wasn't a fan of molten rain since there aren't alot of UWR decks at my LGS. I decided to use Flame Javelin in its place as per Val's build a few pages back. Its really nice having a maindeck kill for exarch. I remov...

Something like this?: [deck] Creatures 4 Rakdos Cackler 4 Firedrinker Satyr 4 Ash Zealot 4 Spike Jester 4 Mogis's Warhound 4 Chandra's Phoenix Spells 4 Magma Jet 4 Lightning Strike 2 Dreadbore 2 Searing Blood 2 Chandra, Pyromaster Lands 2 Mutavault 4 Blood Crypt 4 Temple of Malice 2 Mana Confluence ...

Was trying to do things like play multiple bestow creatures a turn or like bestow and then chain on turn 3. Or even enchant with madcap and hold up boros charm on t3. The cost reduction helps, even if the auras are already cheap

New BREW!!! [deck] Creatures (24) 4 Rakdos Cackler 4 Firedrinker Satyr 4 Hero of Iroas 4 Mogis's Warhound 4 Everflame Eidolon 4 Prophetic Flamespeaker Spells (14) 4 Boros Charm 4 Madcap Skills 4 Chained to the Rocks 2 Ethereal Armor Lands (22) 4 Sacred Foundry 4 Temple of Triumph 4 Mana Confluence 1...

Fair point. But I not sure how good RR gonna be on 22 lands.

@ Val, I like the list. But shouldn't spiteful returned be Mogis's Warhound? U already have the Scarhide to bestow at cmc 4, the warhound gives you more options on t3. Also, I'm really curious to try out Tormented thoughts. In a deck with bestow creatures it seems like it can do some damage. Bestow ...

I was trying to minimize the amount of green creatures to make LBZ less effective against me, hence the exclusion of fanatic. I really like the war chant. It helps "reduce" the drawback of the warhound and pumps our dudes. Its like a poor man's Iroas lol. But I guess if ur playing against ...

yea i'm not sold on the anger of the gods plan either. It just doesn't seem like a winning strategy. Anyways, took the "smaller" build to FNM tonight.................with less than stellar results. Got roflstomped from devotion red in round1, won against G/W (they really have no answer to ...

Ah ok got it. Thnx. As for a "smaller" version, been toying around with this : [deck] Creatures 4 Rakdos Cackler 4 Firedrinker Satyr 4 Ash Zealot 4 Chandra's Phoenix 4 Boros Reckoner 2 Stormbreath Dragon Planeswalkers 2 Chandra Pyromaster Other Spells 4 Lightning Strike 4 Magma Jet 2 Boros...

Good job Gigex! lol thnx man. Also thnx to JS and everyone else who contributed. Your SB strategies really helped over the course of the tournament. @JS - i understand why you want to scry but relatively speaking, don't you think magma jet is a rather low impact card when compared to the rest of th...

Went to gameday with the following list, went 4-0 in the swiss, lost the finals 2 -1 :( [deck] Creatures 4 Rakdos Cackler 4 Firedrinker Satyr 4 Ash Zealot 4 Boros Reckoner 4 Chandra's Phoenix 4 Stormbreath Dragon Planeswalkers 2 Chandra, Pyromaster Other Spells 4 Boros Charm 4 Lightning Strike 2 Cha...

I've tried the list without the shred freaks, I can't remember who originally posted it (hard to keep track with all the threads). While he (the shred freak) is awesome vs control, i find him very underwhelming otherwise. I never found myself wanting to board in the frostburn weirds, just preferred ...

This may seem greedy, but do you guys think pyromancer's gauntlet has a place here? Just as a 1 of. There is enough burn in the pyrored lists and there is also chandra. Maybe if we drop a shock and a chandra for the gauntlet and a land? [deck] 4 Firedrinker Satyr 4 Rakdos Cackler 4 Ash Zealot 4 Youn...

aahhhhhh kk I hear you man, the lists make more sense now

I noticed some of you guys opted to drop the Firefist Striker from the pyrored version of the deck. It seems that the striker is the only real way to remove big blockers we can't burn, like smiter, frostburn weird etc, or at least one of the more reliable ways. My question is ........why? Is this a ...

I tried Zem's pyrored list at FNM tonight, went 4-0. Ironically i only drew the deck's namesake in ONE game lol. Regardless, the deck is really good. The one game i managed to play the pyromancer was against a white weenie deck, and it just wrecked him. Having Ash zealot and her first strike really ...

Hey Zem, I listened to the chat you and alex had. Good stuff man, I learned quite a bit. One point confused me a bit tho. You said that you think BTE is "actively bad". When you talked about it, you brought up the fact that last season BTE wasn't the reason to splash green (boar and rampa...

Been thinking of something hyperaggressive ........like this:
[deck]
4 Rakdos Cackler
4 Firedrinker Satyr
4 Tormented Hero
4 Gore-House Chainwalker
4 Spike Jester
4 Mogis's Marauder
4 Exava, Rakdos Blood Witch

2 Thoughtseize
4 Lightning Strike
4 Dreadbore

4 Blood Crypt
9 Swamp
9 Mountain[/deck]

yea, i did alot of testing this weekend, and quite often i found myself drawing the "wrong half of my deck", mulligans become deadly lol.

Been working on this for the past couple weeks and would like to know what you guys think or if you have any suggestions to improve it. [deck]4 Foundry Street Denizen 4 Akroan Crusader 4 Young Pyromancer 4 Akroan Hoplite 4 Firefist Striker 3 Anax and Cymede 4 Martial Glory 4 Co-ordinated Assault 4 B...

Would a 2/2 split of chandra and the fanatic work here? Or do you guys think chandra just doesn't lend well to the "honey badger-like" aggressiveness of this deck?

lives in the carribbean, plays red...

I smell a trap .

Nah, your in the right place

I have the tan and accent to prove it, I swear! lol

Hey all! Just introducing myself. I primarily play red (although I dabble with white weenie from time to time). Living in the Caribbean, I would have to travel quite far for PTQs, Grand Prixs etc., so my competitive magic experience is limited to FNMs/Gameday/Pre-Releases at my local shop. I heard h...
