Disclaimer: I haven't played the R/W list at all, and only played 5 games at FNM with Jeskai so take everything with a grain of salt (or a truck load) I like the look of the R/W list, I really do. It's great that the mana is better, and I love that it gets to play chained as that card is just crazy ...

Oracle of Bones

Well, could be fun to combo with Dig Through Time, get a 3/1 haste and draw two from your top 7? Seems like a good deal. I would worry about him casting something very insignificant a lot of times though.

hoeiberg

It is

I have also been considering the phoenix in various builds (mostly because i bought it last year and i really want it to be good). But if we are considering playing Ashcloud Phoenix, isn't flame-wreathed better or as good in all cases except against Downfall and Murderous Cut?

Examples of fetch-less burn decks which have taken down populated daily events (link)

Thanks, I'll start from there

why use the word catty when I can just use the word bitch.

Not everyone is as direct in their choice of words as people around here

Should i keep the Blazes even with no fetches or should i switch to Searing Blood?

Question for you guys: How do you play the match against G devo? I have been trying to control them but beating a resolved Garruk is really an uphill battle. However racing T3 Polukranos into t4 Kalonian Hydra is quite the tall order as well. It seems to me that with mono G their fast draws are too ...

I would advise against adding blue to the deck. It makes us less consistent and Verdict can hurt us just as much as it can hurt our enemies. If you want to run a sweeper, look into using Anger of the Gods or Mizzium Mortars . That gives us some added protection against the swarm decks while keeping...

if you're referring to the Donald Smith poster, yea that's me.

Nice try man, nice try

Are you still playing this deck? If yes, how is it looking now?

I love the Gryff in the SB. I read it as Skullcracks 5-6/7, and it does a good job of hosing other annoying ETB creatures while being a flying threat to boot. Not playing it MB though, too dead in some match-ups.

hoeiberg

I'm with LP on the servant. Ramping is only fun when you have something to ramp into (I WILL be brewing a super casual UR brew with servant+Scuttling Doom Engine+Shrapnel Blast, but i almost guarantee it will be too janky to do anything :P ) Now as for the RDW discussion: What are you guys' thoughts...

hoeiberg

I just don't see wasting a spell to turn a 2/2 into a 3/3 or 4/4. Casting on their turn isn't important since you want them blowing their pumps and protections on your turn. Everything else has far greater priority than him. I'm not even eager to hit it with an early chains if I know they have bigg...

LP was right

hoeiberg

Depends what he does with Jace. I'm going to guess that he goes +1 which seems to be the obvious choice for him here. In that case, even if you kill Jace, your army will still only swing for 1 (which must go on Jace to kill him) and you will be totally out of good cards in hand, which seems like a b...

hoeiberg

While font has a really good damage/card, it's damage/mana is just horrible. It seems a lot like T//T in that It's probably a good card in your starting hand. I just can't help thinking it's gonna feel really awkward to topdeck this with 4-5 mana on the table and you opponent at 2 (the kind of thing...

hoeiberg

I guess it's reasonable to say that Burn matches up well against Bx's plan, but the raw power of Bx decks makes it tough to beat them if we don't have the answer immediately, and their discard makes having that especially tough. Yes, Bx is very powerful and some games we just get steam rolled. Most...

Just won my first FNM ever (going 3-1 with best tiebreakers) using this list: [deck] Creatures 4 Chandra's Phoenix 4 Young Pyromancer Spells 2 Chained to the Rocks 1 Banishing Light 3 Shock 1 Searing Blood 2 Flames of the Firebrand 4 Lightning Strike 4 Warleader's Helix 4 Boros Charm 4 Magma Jet Lan...

+1 Warhound. He's the best card in the deck.

Agreed, or at least way too good to not play the full 4, and 20 lands seems a tad many anyway.

hoeiberg

I've never had the bad luck of having to fight through a T2 courser. I can easily imagine that it sucks though. Maybe mortars is the right call in some meta games, though personally i don't think i would like playing removal in this kind of deck (i might change my mind on that after T2 courser beats...

hoeiberg

How good has Flamespeaker been for everybody? He seems terribly risky in the current meta with instant speed spot removal everywhere. I have done zero testing with him, so all i do is speculate but to me it seems very unappealing to tap out turn 3 for Flamespeaker, just to have it removed next turn ...

Hi guys. Just started my MTGO account, I'm not a super skilled player but I'm trying to improve. Think i could join the clan? My username is: hchoeiberg

Has anyone had a chance to test any of these builds? I'm building a heroic AIR deck and I'm not quite sure what cards to get. Ofc I'm getting the 16 good 1-drops, madcap, dragon mantle, and TS. But other than that I'm not sure. Have anyone tested with rolicker? What about coordinated assault?

hoeiberg

Turn/Burn is such an underpowered card to splash for >_> . It would also allow us to play Keranos out of the board (taking the slot that assemble used to hold). He provides (almost) the same kind of inevitability and is indestructible. Could be good, could be terrible, I'm inclined to think the lat...

hoeiberg

I like SBD if MBD gets less popular, it does look kind of silly against Desecration Demon though, and will just eat a doom blade and roll over. But if MBD turns into Bg or Bw then i think SBD could be quite strong. Against Uw he is obviously a house, i don't know about Esper though, they pack quite ...

hoeiberg

Often i found you don't need to cast it. Tunr alone on an attacking creature lets you block and kill with a 1/1 token from pyromancer. (Very satisfying way to kill Ghost Dad)

hoeiberg

I ran some UR in the beginning og the format, it wasn't very good but i did get quite a few games with it. In my experience YP$ is the best card in the deck, he is so much value. Spellheart Chimera was useless, vs aggro it was too slow and vs control and midrange it was too weak to removal. Chandra'...

hoeiberg

Don't kill me for suggesting this (I'm just brainstorming), but how about changing the black splash for blue. It gives us turn/burn to handle Ghostdad,BBoV, SBD and active gods (though chained and Banishing light handles the last one as well). Further it would give us various options vs Hexproof. Æt...

hoeiberg

I don't know, removing Whip of Erebos or even Unflinching Courage could be quite an important play, and it could also remove Thassa before she becomes a creature.

I like him, awesome synergy with Precinct Captain and Brimaz, will make W/r even more playable.

hoeiberg

Well, UP hits paladin.

If by Paladin you mean fiendslayer paladin, then no it doesn't.

hoeiberg

Guttler's analysis seems solid, although from the limited experience i have with it, mono-U doesn't seem all that bad as long as you save the black removal for MoV, fliers and LBZ don't give a &%£@ about frostburn and with all the removal we have activating thassa seems hard for them to do.

hoeiberg

@jerkwad Nice list, and congratulations on your nice results. Your list seems kinda top heavy which may be a disadvantage against some decks. If I were you I'd add either another 2-drop like Rats, YP$ or Ashley (as a 3-of) or run 4-of 1-drop (either cackler or Firedrinker). I'd also definitely cut M...

hoeiberg

@Gutler: What match-ups have you been playing, and what have your losses been against? Your list is su close to mine that the only real difference is cacklers vs ashley and I'm still trying to figure out which is better, when.

hoeiberg

Sweet list, not too keen on playing the rat though, but maybe it's worth it. At least that guy seemed to be doing alright for himself.
