Dropping green from the RUG tron decks for consistency and not drawing 500 filter artifacts. Been having some great performance out of this list.

Totally want to try this, totally don't want to drop $40 on Angels D:

BigMana

At what point do you just drop the non goblins and play Goblins? When I want the deck to be slower I guess. Goblin lords are terrible, definitely not like the Merfolk ones. Rabblemaster is just too slow (I've really tried). Piledriver is cool but totally dies to everything and doesn't have any real...

BigMana

I'm sure you can do better. Pyroclasm is all you should be worried about.

Agreed. Pulling the sacred foundry for another stomping ground and replacing the boros charm with some specific answers to meta decks that don;t majorly hinder my game plan.

BigMana

Is the Boros Charm thing too cute?

I feel like board wipes aren't something I;'m terribly worried about.

BigMana

So after much internal struggle I have dropped Dynacharge. It was just way too situational and have included Goblin Grenade .

Maybe I'm just lucky but I've been getting extremely good luck running Hellspark Elemental for the added push when topdecks get less-than-stellar. It's somewhat situational but it's been doing well for me. Will keep testing (it also hits past leyline). Also, Flamebreak is now my favorite sweeper of ...

BigMana

How do you play him? Not playing Eidolon seems like crazy talk to me. Eidolon together with Swiftspear made this deck tier 1. Empty hand, play Eidilon, but usually opponent has done the same by then. Or play him early and then die to him. IDK what I'm doing wrong. I've been a sligh player for almos...

BigMana

I'm really starting to doubt Eidolon in this deck. I typically see him get a lot more mileage when you have more of a board presence. Heck, I'd rather he was Keldon Marauders to block early to make aggro matchups fair or beat face once against slower decks. Am I playing him wrong? I almost wish he w...

Wanderwine Hub, are they only there to bluff some white spells ?

Choke is a real bitch.

BigMana

You shouldn't be playing fetches for the sake of thinning (I know I'm being a hypocrite here since I do it all the time, but the thinning your deck during the course of one R won't make a big enough differences), its just for grabbing lands and feeding grim/landfall. Awesome, if I can somehow find ...

I've been playing 4c Burn for awhile now I named it YOLO burn on my youtube channel - I think it fine though I recommend this manabase: Lands 19 4 City of Brass 4 Mana Confluence 4 Scalding Tarn 2 Wooded Foothills 2 Mountain 1 Blood Crypt 1 Sacred Foundry 1 Stomping Ground The reason being is that ...

BigMana

I'll give the deck a try. I'm not very familiar with Modern, but i'm good with playing red. Though I haven't really played much the last 2 months. It isn't terribly complicated to play. Usually Guide is the best turn 1 unless you have Denizen backed up by a grip of emissaries. Hold back a couple du...

BigMana

4 Dynacharge on top of 4 Atarka's Command and 4 Bushwhacker seems like too much. I'd consider trimming down to 1 or even 0 Dynacharge for more one drops. Zurgo and Rakdos Cackler seem like good inclusions. Even Monastery Swiftspear seems good. Tried it by replacing Dynacharge with Swiftspear this m...

-snip- If you're thinking of running back the same type of list, you might want to change up your SB. 4 Hurkyl's and 3 Steel Sabotage seem like too much Affinity hate. I'd change some to Spell Snare and/or Dispel. Some Merfolk lists are also experimenting with a small green splash for Collected Com...

How is this better than the azami win though?

It's not, strictly speaking. It is exactly the same.

However, it requires one less card (assuming you already roll street wraith)

BigMana

Been working on this for a bit under 2 years on and off. This is one of the best versions I've been able to produce that wins local legacy tournaments. For those that aren't familiar the idea is to ramp into either a Balustrade Spy or Undercity Informer . Once either goes off you will target yoursel...

In Modern, the shuffle trigger is extremely relevant. I've played against it and felt terrible when I cracked a fetch. It's probably a better long game creature than Cursecatcher, you sacrifice some tempo for inevitability vs. a lot of decks. Cursecatcher is just better in legacy Indeed! I've never...

BigMana

Would the BAI list benefit from running Ghor-Clan Rampager?

BigMana

Is the one of spellskite at all better than the third phantasmal image/corralhelm commander?

Usually. All 3 of those I rarely want more than 1 of per game

Whats with the 1 w/t?

BigMana

Not yet. It's easily tier 1 in testing, but I need some more competent opponents / better decks to face. It's VERY fast, and chained to the rocks is absurd. 1 mana terminate? Sign me up! I might build this when the shop opens at midnight. I'll let you know how it goes. I might alter the sideboard t...

I think if there's a lot of three colour midrange or control, this is ok. I imagine its good against GW on the play?

It's basically my wet dream as a red player honestly.

Basically this. Trying to brew something until the meta lets red fit.

BigMana

You make it sound as if any of these cards halt the build completely, they don't. It's not hard to play around them or respond. I never implied that this was much more than a deck that warrants testing. It's far from my pet deck. I get it, you don't like it. But don't imply that it isn't worth impr...

Okay, since everyone else is too scared to say it for some reason, I'll be that guy. This is not a tempo deck whatsoever. It's actually very likely not even a playable deck. Here's a list of reasons why. 1.) Having unsummons does not make for tempo. You need sources of hard removal or counter magic...
