There's also Abzan.

Stark said to switch them lol.

Ash Cloud seems like a beating vs UB control too.

I think I'm in love with Osyp's Mardu deck, basically splash for a Doom n a few other cards.

Only 7 taplands just like Stark RW

If it ever resolves. I can't seem to stick anything that matters

I don't care what anyone says about Ben Stark's list and low-curve, yada yada yada. Stormbreath Dragons are still fee wins. I want all the free wins I can get.

NotARobot · Postby **NotARobot** » Wed Mar 11, 2015 12:36 am

Gotta agree Khaos.

Khaospawn · Postby **Khaospawn** » Wed Mar 11, 2015 1:18 am

It's a beautiful thing.

LP, of the Fires · Postby **LP, of the Fires** » Wed Mar 11, 2015 1:20 am

While I understand the sentiment, calling SBD free wins CAN'T be an accurate use of the term.

Khaospawn · Postby **Khaospawn** » Wed Mar 11, 2015 1:25 am

I lost count how many times my opponents said,"Well, that's a dragon." And then they proceeded to take 4 damage up the ass until dead.

Khaospawn · Postby **Khaospawn** » Wed Mar 11, 2015 1:25 am

I don't know what that says, but I'll take it as often as I can get.

Sioux · Postby **Sioux** » Wed Mar 11, 2015 9:31 am

Wow, Khaospawn, your lists have so much moxie I'm very tempted to play one of them at the up and coming PPTQ we're having at my LGS this weekend. Is Heliod's Pilgrim performing that well?

Khaospawn · Postby **Khaospawn** » Wed Mar 11, 2015 1:52 pm

I love that card.

Aodh · Postby **Aodh** » Wed Mar 11, 2015 4:45 pm

Can you please add 1 Dragon's Mantle or Hammerhand for versatility? This would make the pilgrim infinitely better, IMO.

Self Medicated · Postby **Self Medicated** » Wed Mar 11, 2015 7:17 pm

I don't think those cards would add anything to the deck, plus I wouldn't want to remove anything for them. That being said, I'm not big on Pilgrim to begin with.

Lightning_Dolt · Postby **Lightning_Dolt** » Wed Mar 11, 2015 8:59 pm

Problem is, there's a growing number of decks that just don't care about Stormbreath Dragon.

Self Medicated · Postby **Self Medicated** » Wed Mar 11, 2015 9:09 pm

LD - Are you replying to me or Khaos?

Khaospawn · Postby **Khaospawn** » Wed Mar 11, 2015 9:29 pm

Can you please add 1 Dragon's Mantle or Hammerhand for versatility? This would make the pilgrim infinitely better, IMO.

No. Tried it and wasn't needed.

Khaospawn · Postby **Khaospawn** » Wed Mar 11, 2015 9:30 pm

Also Abzan Advantage in then main is good right now.

I just don't understand why the Pilgrim's better than a Valorous Stance, then.

Khaospawn · Postby **Khaospawn** » Wed Mar 11, 2015 11:14 pm

Because the Pilgrim is a body and is good in the mirror for blocking tokens.

In my experience, V stance is better from the board.

I'm not trying to convince you. I'm just sharing what has worked for me.

Khaospawn · Postby **Khaospawn** » Thu Mar 12, 2015 2:51 am

On a side note, it doesn't look like RW will be getting much help with this new set. I'm okay with this though.

Too early to tell, I'd like to think...

lorddax · Postby **lorddax** » Fri Mar 13, 2015 9:28 pm

Hey guys, was out of game for a while and ended up looking for where RW was at cause its the only manabase I have right now and then I find another Khaos brew, they do me so well when getting back in after hiatus. Hope you dont mind if I try this out and tweak it for me meta bro.

On the RW front and Dragons, something I was looking at was some of the ETB triggers that could be up for shenanigans with Lightning berseker and Zurgobell striker.
I'll be messing around with Afaneza's creature ETB bolster 1 trigger, Impact Termors ETB 1 damage to opp, purp's ETB 2 damage

[deck]RW Triggers Starting[/deck]

Khaospawn · Postby **Khaospawn** » Fri Mar 13, 2015 10:03 pm

they do me so well

Oh baby

Feel free to use whatever list you want.

Lightning_Dolt · Postby **Lightning_Dolt** » Sat Mar 14, 2015 1:08 am

What have you guts been doing vs UB / Sultai control? I've been eating shit.

I will try your last list this afternoon Khaospawn. I would like to switch to Bne Stark RW but hadnt the time since 3 weeks to find additionnal SGM. Plus even less time to try it in good conditions so I will stick to a kind of deck I know very well.

Khaospawn · Postby **Khaospawn** » Sat Mar 14, 2015 3:33 pm

Throwing Ashcloud Phoenixes and Manifest tokens at them.

Lightning_Dolt · Postby **Lightning_Dolt** » Sat Mar 14, 2015 4:10 pm

If I play today, I'll be trying Khaos' 75 methinks.

Khaospawn · Postby **Khaospawn** » Sat Mar 14, 2015 4:38 pm

It's been really good to me so far.

My only issue at my LGS now is that RW is popping up everywhere and I'm getting real sick of the mirrors.

Lightning_Dolt · Postby **Lightning_Dolt** » Sat Mar 14, 2015 6:09 pm

I decided to run it. R1 got steam rolled by RDW. Is that generally a bad matchup? I kind of feel like he just had sick rips.

Aodh · Postby **Aodh** » Sat Mar 14, 2015 6:24 pm

Shouldn't be a bad match-up since you have infinite removal spells and every one of your cards is excellent against them except for too many Outposts or Rabbles.

Lightning_Dolt · Postby **Lightning_Dolt** » Sat Mar 14, 2015 6:54 pm

Ok then.

Nutstomped mono-black humans R2.

Lightning_Dolt · Postby **Lightning_Dolt** » Sat Mar 14, 2015 7:44 pm

Loss and drop to know silver level pro player playing UB control (0-2).

Maybe I'm just having rotten luck, but I feel like the deck doesn't have a leg to stand on vs Control.

Did not help that I got stuck on 3 lands.

I am going to take a break, probably until the DTK prerelease.

Khaospawn · Postby **Khaospawn** » Sat Mar 14, 2015 8:12 pm

Rdw can be tough game 1 if you're drawing you're high end spells. You gotta lower the curve as much as you can post board. Arc Lightning helps a lot.

Hell, I've even ran morphed birds out there for chump blockers until i could stabilize.

Khaospawn · Postby **Khaospawn** » Sat Mar 14, 2015 8:15 pm

LD, sounds like you're having just terrible luck.

With that said, UB can be tricky at times. Mastery + Flyers postboard is my plan. Just jam all the threats.

Dies to Removal
