I'm glad to hear you stopped playing a joke deck and are playing sonething real.

Me or Buzzsaw

? He was playing black agro befpre right? So you think green devo is treated as a real deck?

zemanjaski · Postby **zemanjaski** » Sun Jul 20, 2014 10:41 am

Green devo is ok, could be good with the new cards.

Black aggro and Hexproof aren't remotely real decks.

I'm glad to hear you stopped playing a joke deck and are playing sonething real.

I had a win rate of 80% with it so I can't argue with results despite it not being a "deck".

As for my list I played at FNM:

[deck]
Creatures
4 Elvish Mystic
4 Sylvan Caryatid
2 Voyaging Satyr
4 Burning-Tree Emissary
1 Scavenging Ooze
3 Courser of Kruphix
4 Eidolon of Blossoms
2 Nylea, God of the Hunt
2 Genesis Hydra
3 Polukranos, World Eater
1 Hornet Queen

Planeswalkers
2 Garruk, Call of Beasts
1 Garruk, Apex Predator

Spells
2 Golgari Charm
1 Chord of Calling
1 Hall of Triumph

Lands
4 Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx
4 Overgrown
Tomb
4 Llanawar Wastes
2 Temple of Malady
9 Forest

Sideboard
4 Nylea's Disciple
3 Mistcutter Hydra
2 Setessan Tactics
1 Reclamation Sage
1 Golgari Charm
2 Ultimate Price
1 Putrefy
1 In Garruk's Wake
[/deck]

I've been playing around with Doom Engine, Soul of NP, Life's Legacy, and a bunch of different numbers of cards in the 75. I'm still playing around to see if I want more Chords. The single Hall is because Golgari Charm is popular in my LGS, so it prevents my hornets and Mystics from dying. Also turns out 12 power flying deathtouch is very good. The list is changing every few days.

I got 4th going 4-1-1 losing to Mono Black aggro due to mana flooding and won against Burn, 5 Color Slivers (

), Mono Blue Devo, and Selesnya Aggro. I drew with Burn with a friend (ruuning your list, Zem) to guarantee top 4.

Im sure everyone at the LGS was terrified of you!

Big fish in small pond.

zemanjaski · Postby **zemanjaski** » Sun Jul 20, 2014 1:27 pm

Moderately sized gold fish in a small fishbowl with one of those underwater fish castles I think.

TBuzzsaw · Postby **TBuzzsaw** » Sun Jul 20, 2014 1:39 pm

I get a fish castle?

I just read that another term for pussy is 'Phoenix Nest."

As in, I'd like to see Chandra's Phoenix Nest. I'll bet she has a fire bush.

You v play at moonstore right buzz?

I still haven't been there.

Mostly cause Montclair and I hear Coleen judges there a lot for big events.

Couldn't force me to pay green in a life bane zombie format

TBuzzsaw · Postby **TBuzzsaw** » Sun Jul 20, 2014 11:59 pm

I've noticed Lifebane isn't that bad when you're running Garruk and Eidolon to refill your hand.

And yeah LP I play at Monstore in Montclair. We're always holding big events.

Won my second pauper tournament on Modo. Who says Burn isn't good?

Blue mages. And kaitscralt.

Part of some kid's Top 8 profile at SCG Balt:

Archetype:
RUG Lyfe

Why did you choose to play this deck this weekend?
I didn't choose the RUG Lyfe, it chose me.

It made me lol

Won my second pauper tournament on Modo. Who says Burn isn't good?

During the Oceanic timezone (Pre-8-Mans) the format was dominated by U decks because the it was THE grinders format, if that has changed then yes (which it may have since Pauper DE are gone) I agree - Burn is acceptable (though Mono Blue Control is still the best deck by FAR - which make it hard to justify playing anything else)

zemanjaski · Postby **zemanjaski** » Mon Jul 21, 2014 1:44 am

It isn't competitive. Mono U control just crushes it.

Lightning_Dolt · Postby **Lightning_Dolt** » Mon Jul 21, 2014 2:28 am

But the meta is all mono black and slowish combo. Burn crushes those.

Lightning_Dolt · Postby **Lightning_Dolt** » Mon Jul 21, 2014 2:28 am

I'm 6-0 so far.

Lightning_Dolt · Postby **Lightning_Dolt** » Mon Jul 21, 2014 2:29 am

Was mono black devotion a deck back then?

magicdownunder · Postby **magicdownunder** » Mon Jul 21, 2014 2:32 am

Not when I was playing, I stop after the 8-Post banning.

Lightning_Dolt · Postby **Lightning_Dolt** » Mon Jul 21, 2014 2:39 am

Mono black is the biggest deck now. Burn is good against it.

zemanjaski · Postby **zemanjaski** » Mon Jul 21, 2014 2:49 am

Mono u control also crushes MBC; it's like 85-15. Mono u's worst matchup is affinity which is about 50-50. I should get back in to pauper I suppose.

Lightning_Dolt · Postby **Lightning_Dolt** » Mon Jul 21, 2014 2:58 am

To teach me a lesson lol.

Lightning_Dolt · Postby **Lightning_Dolt** » Mon Jul 21, 2014 3:00 am

Not sure how Mono U crushes Mono Black... they have all the discard and removal and lifegain. It can't be that bad or it wouldn't be the most played deck.

zemanjaski · Postby **zemanjaski** » Mon Jul 21, 2014 3:06 am

Cards they can't beat:
- serrated arrows
- think twice
- Oona's Grace
- deep analysis / Mulldrifter in SB

Mono u control plays all of those. Don't confuse MUC with mono u Faeries, which mono b does beat.

Jack · Postby **Jack** » Mon Jul 21, 2014 3:12 am

^^^listen to this man. MUC is scarily powerful.

Lightning_Dolt · Postby **Lightning_Dolt** » Mon Jul 21, 2014 3:27 am

Oh, I thought we were talking about the faeries.

Jack · Postby **Jack** » Mon Jul 21, 2014 3:30 am

Nah, pop into the MUC thread in the pauper section and just mess around with a few of the lists.

Lightning_Dolt · Postby **Lightning_Dolt** » Mon Jul 21, 2014 3:35 am

Just had a look. Definitely different. I trust you guys that it's good, but I'm going to play burn at least until I lose a match before I think about switching decks.

Lightning_Dolt · Postby **Lightning_Dolt** » Mon Jul 21, 2014 3:36 am

There's a good chance I just do better with a burn deck anyway.

Lightning_Dolt · Postby **Lightning_Dolt** » Mon Jul 21, 2014 3:37 am

That deck is also not really part of the meta according to mtgo stats.

Yarpus · Postby **Yarpus** » Mon Jul 21, 2014 4:00 am

I think this mothafucka awaits for someone to play Boros Deck Wins.
I think this is a good time for RDW as overall.
I think unkillable Pyreheart Wolf with damage prevention and without that 1/1 creature attached is good.

[deck]Creatures (24):
4 Rakdos Cackler
4 Firedrinker Satyr
2 Frenzied Goblin
4 Ash Zealot
4 Altac Bloodseeker
4 Viashino Firstblade
2 Iroas, God of Victory

Other Spells (14):
2 Chain to Rocks
4 Lightning Strike
4 Stoke the Flames
4 Boros Charm

Lands:
24 Fucking Lands[/deck]

With M15 Boros gets:
- even more, fantastic 1CMC removal (Oppresive Rays)
- even more fantastic burn (Stoke the Flames)
- even more fantastic lands (boros painland)
- even more fantastic 1CMC drops (Frenzied Goblin)
- even more fantastic 2CMC drops (either Borderland Marauder or Altec Bloodseeker)
- even more fantastic
responses to Master of Waves (Hushwing Gryff)
- even more fantastic planeswalkers (new Ajani)

That deck is also not really part of the meta according to mtgo stats.

They bundle it with "Mono Blue" archetype, here is an example of an list was appeared yesterday.

P.S. where are they getting the information from, I didn't know the mother-ship released non-DE results.

Lightning_Dolt · Postby **Lightning_Dolt** » Mon Jul 21, 2014 4:09 am

Dunno.

zemanjaski · Postby **zemanjaski** » Mon Jul 21, 2014 4:12 am

Yeah I have no idea, there are no published pauper results.
