Possibly, as long as RL and variance are kind to me :)

I agree about the BotG cards, still hoping something might turn up in the last 60 cards :)

We only have 21 cards left in R (10) / W (11) for BnG, I just want a nice cheap instant speed burn or exile effect.

4 Firedrinker Satyr
4 Rakdos Cackler
4 Ash Zealot
4 Chandra's Phoenix
3 Skynight Legionnaire

Spells (18)
3 Chained to the Rocks
4 Magma Jet
4 Lightning Strike
4 Boros Charm
3 Chandra, Pyromaster

Lands (23)
3 Mutavault
4 Sacred Foundry
4 Temple of Triumph

Sideboard (15)
1 Chained to the Rocks

Thought about Warleader's Helix over Skynight Legionnaire but after goldfishing decided against it. The evasion + board presence + coming down one turn sooner is very welcome vs mono black and control.

I'm a bit underwhelmed by the red cards in BotG. Can see some potential sideboard cards, but not sure anything is main deckable except Fated Conflagration (in place of Mortars as removal for fatties like Obzedat, SBD, Polukranos, Worm token). Nice bonus that it deals with any Planeswalker (except Vraska).

I think the Phoenix will see play, but think Chandra and Helix are higher up in the pecking order for most match ups

I got two more wins one 2-1 and 3-0 running Lazer's tweak, I like the idea of running Angers in the SB :smileup: (just need two more 3-0 then I'll be done until 29th, in which case i may just play Modern to get ready for MOCS4 while I wait for BnG).

My lost was too BW Control with ghostdads, shockingly enough the card I'm most looking forward too from the next set happen to be Fated Conflagration (which is just sad...).

EDIT: I posted my version of the Black Aggro in the Clan BnG Brainstorming Thread if your interested

Also, seems like list wont change much for BnG... Maybe one Fated Conflag in the SB. UW will be on the rise, so we should be working to improve this matchup I think.

Assemble still deserve a spot in the SB?

Wait for today's vids for the most EPIC games featuring Assemble :) Currently 2-1 beating RW Devo 2-0 , MonoB 2-1 and losing 1-2 to BG. I'm really enjoying this DE :)

I would even be tempted to run 3x Assemble post BnG, I see no reason for Bx Devotion not too pick up pace.

UW Control with 4x SBD is a good MU btw.

3-1 in the DE today beating RW Devo 2-0, Mono B 2-1 and 2-1 and losing 1-2 to BG. Star card of the day was Assemble :) Most enjoyable DE so far, I highly recommend watching the vids, especially the epic encounters of R2 G3, R3 G2 and R4 G3 :)

Here's the list - MD is the same as yesterday, SB is 2 cards different with the SB plan changed to suit. Yes, I know I don't always stick to the plan :)

EDIT - After some very in depth analysis with dauntless on MTGO the SB is now +1 Assemble +1 Helix -2 Skullcrack :)

Still to test with Anger

With the witch aka Exava, Rakdos Blood Witch it gains haste, which is why I said its good for Br/Rb.

But how many 4 drops are you going to play?

I was 1-2 at FNM last night.

1-2 VS Esper control (8 pieces of removal + 2 Elspeth + Obzedat, was on one life several times, I want to live in the world this guy lives in)

2-0 VS RB quasi-mirror

0-2 VS Mono U (2x Master G1 on T4+5, I draw no Chains, I draw no creatures / no chains G2, frustrating.)

I'm in a bit of a rut right now, and getting really frustrated. I can't draw to save my life.

Went 3-2 at FNM losing to Gruul Aggro and Esper Aggro and beating 2x gruul Aggro and Dega midrange. Esper is so tough with Obzedat, fated conflagration can't come soon enough.

For some reason my local meta has gone really heavily green. What would be the best Deck to exploit this?

Posted: Sat Jan 25, 2014 8:07 am

I also went 3-2 losing in the mirror (bad draws) and GW (opponent had excellent draws).

Lots of red in my meta. Warleader's Helix is looking good.

Went to FNM, a lot of home brewing was going on tonight. I went 3-1, taking 2nd. I lost Jund Midrange/Control, I swear every game between that guy and I always has either one or both of us mana flooding or screwing. Doesn't matter the format is. Otherwise I beat BG Aggro Scavenge, Grixis Control, and Esper Control missing most of the big expensive cards.

Upon reflection, I'd be tempted to exchange the Helix with the singleton Assemble in the MB and see if we can still win against MonoB Game 1.... :)

MDU, how is the Anger SB plan working for you? We need data! :D

Posted: Sat Jan 25, 2014 11:12 am
by Pedros
I dont know how you can all beat black so regularly. When I took this deck to daily I saw that all my creatures would be killed, removal for a threat thoughtseized, and everything in this deck ijs stopped by specter. Furthermore this list is npt so agressive, so blacl iis keeping underworld connections to get card advantage and then bounce back with gary (you dont run skullcracks to prevent it).

Assemble the legion is almost win, however I lost with it whwn they had multiple garys and I had to take 1 demons swing after removal on soldier. Notice they run more removal than we run creatures plus thoughtseizes plus all creatures are stopped by all of theirs.

Posted: Sat Jan 25, 2014 11:54 am
by dauntless268
First game is certainly draw dependent, mainly whether or not we have chains when they draw demon. Phoenix is our key card als they can neither thoughtseize nor remove it forever. Use your Magma Jet early to dig for Chains and Phoenix. Helix helps to win Pack Rat races and ruin his combat math. Mortars and Strike are for Specter. SBD is often not that bad g1, provided you can play it when they are tapped out or have waisted their removal on Phoenix. After SB, the more Assemble the better, though I agree you can still lose.

@dauntless268

I have no idea how Anger is with the Warleader Boros list I never drew it :sweat:, in the burn list though, I found them great esp. when combined with Shock - without Shock they're rather lack luster when your Opp. slams down a few creature with 3+ toughness.

I'll most likely cut them once the next set comes ;-)

@Pedros

In regards to the Bx MU with the Warleader Boros list I'll say its in our favor (only slightly), I think you just need more experience with the list since I havn't really been losing at all as of late (though I just went 3-1 in the DE.... beating Esper Humans, Ux Devotion, WB Humans and losing too Double Peak Eruption, Helix and Boros Charm while on the draw for G3).

- - - - -

So I still need one more
QP till I'm in the finals... stupid DE... grumble....grumble...

Montu's FNM Report

I've been traveling a lot this month (Boston, Las Vegas, Atlanta) so haven't had much time for MTG. I decided to try something a bit different and thought LaZerBurn's deck looked fun.

The only changes I made MD were +1 Mizzium Mortars, -1 Mountain. For the SB, I swapped out the 2 Skullcrack for 2 [card]Warleader's Helix[/card].

I ended the night 4-1, which put me at 4th place out of 29.

All my wins were in 2-0 (MonoU, G/W, R/W, MonoB). The match loss was 1-2 against MonoB, and the last game was really close. I could have won had I played a bit more aggressively, so it was my fault for the loss, not the deck's or variance.

In other words, I really like the
build. :)

Out of the 11 games I played, I only had to mulligan once, I never got mana screwed ( :jam: ), and I flooded twice ( :cry: ). Now, with that said, there were a couple of times mana could have been tight, but it ended up working for me.

(Flooding was one of the factors for me losing game 3 against MonoB. I kept
a high-mana opening hand because it had Assemble. He Thought Seized me on Turn 1 to take Chained, and then again on Turn 4 to take Assemble. Ouch. Definitely a Lesson Learned.)

Sorry for the lack of video content guys, I've been playing Rw Burn and Rw Almost Burn for the past week farming up my remaining QPs for the MOCS2 finals - since that is done now, I'll be on a small break until Thursday.

I do however have about 7 extra videos I need to upload and here is the list I was most happy with during that grind week:

Here is a video with my Boros Pile list
which you can find a few pages back:

Standard Elimination R1 Boros Pile vs Black Aggro Event 6638913
Standard Elimination R2 Boros Pile vs Bx Devotion Event 6638913
Standard Elimination R3 Split

I'm currently working on my post BnG list (which as it stands does not run any BnG Cards) though I'm looking at Revoke Existence, Fated Conflagration, Flame-Wreathed Phoenix, Oracle of Bones, Reckless Reveler, Satyr Firedancer and Searing Blood as cards which interest me the most.

I will be cutting Anger of The Gods I feel like that card has been horrible, I'll also cut down one Assemble once BnG gets
released as a nod towards BB - making room for more burn.

Will likely swap the satyrs for legion loyalist to deal with tokens,
Any thoughts would be nice.

I like the list PKA, I would count it as Rw FoM but since we're just posting anything Rw in this thread now it doesn't matter :D

Although I adore Legion's Initiative any list packing 4x FoM should run 2x Hammers (threatening 7 damage from the gate is huge) aside from that its quite good, have you seen Fakeshaver's Rw FoM list (on MTGO) before he has done really well with it so it might be of interest.
