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". :teach:


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

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.

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.

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) :yes:

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.

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.

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.

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)

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.
