Dies to Removal

I think the Ad Nauseum deck is good again.

If I played modern, I'd jam Amulet Bloom at every event and demand my opponent play blood moon.

Lucky I'm main decking them!

It's a nasty deck, but I discovered that a lot of those guys overextend into a lethal Deflecting Palm.

4 Atarka's Command
4 Monastery Swiftspear
4 Dragon Fodder
4 Hordeling Outburst
4 Goblin Rabblemaster
4 Foundry Street Denizen
4 Firedrinker Satyr
3 Zurgo Bellstriker
4 Stoke the Flames
4 Lightning Strike
4 Temple of Abandon
4 Wooded Foothills
4 Mana Confluence
1 Forest
8 Mountain

Still the best deck In the gauntlet.

This looks awesome.

It is.

You lose to like, bile blights and drown and sorrow, but if they don't have it, they're fucked.

Dragon fodder is a pretty huge gain. Board presence that also triggers denizen and swiftspear? SUREEEEEEEEEEEE.

Your Stokes are also cheaper and atarka's command regularly does 6+damage. Depending on how low-curve the format is, you can even add searing blood to the deck and just be straight up burn.

Lastly, having the scry lands and going up to 21 means you hit your 3s on time more often.

... Is triggerkin your gender or your sex? How can you be a triggerkin and asexual at the same time?

Triggerkin would be the personal identity. In that his existence is the embodiment of the state of being triggered.
To translate, he's not interested in sex, but is willing to be with multiple partners in a relationship at the same time, as the embodiment of triggered-dom.
Don't worry I minored in Tumblr.

Aw yeah, Legacy Cube is back!

If Gifts Ungiven + Unburial Rites is wrong, I don't wanna be right.

The funniest thing about this picture is my opponent's name: ImSincerelySorry

So Thrillho was totes right about Ire Shaman. Put it in devotion red and our favorite Nykthos driven strategy is back on track.

Yeah I've had my eye on that card since it was spoiled. Already had my four reserved at the LGS. Hope it's as promising as you think it is.

I guess I should explain: The cards good not mainly because of the morph draw, but in part. It's good because now in devotion, you all of your 2-drops can gaurntee damage and it's modular.

Dragon whisperer is the best of the bunch and I've activated formidable several times as something more then just 'lol winmore'.

Eidolon is better then mardu scout though higher variance. It's still a good card though and adds 2 red devotion.

Then you have ire shaman as the swiss army knife. As a 2 drop, it's generally worse then the other 2, but it's still a 2 drop which the deck is hungry for. When you have a blank on 3, you can morph it which is actually great. Playing a 2 into a soft 3 is better then playing 2+2 unless you have nykthos, and since the unmorph is so cheap, you actually get to use the extra card most of the time. You're essentially getting Pay R, +1/+1 draw a card which is awesome. Now the kicker; the evasion is actually great on this thing.

The key to fixing the devotion deck from where I had it was making just rebuilding it and making it more aggressive. There's a decent 2/8/5/6/4 curve with shaman being the modular 2/3 which fills the curve beautifully.

Hmmm, I've had the busty orc lady in a "look into it" later category. I saw that it had potential but didn't know what kind of red deck wanted her.

Also I can see why it needs two creatures to block her.

Lucky I'm main decking them!

if they don't work out you can always test them out in the 15 card sidelap

That sounds incredibly promising, LP. Can't wait to hear more.

Are you using Ashcloud Phoenix or Thunderbreak Regent as your 4-drop of choice?

Roast is good in Modern?

I haven't tested it, but it got me hot and bothered when it was spoiled. Almost no need to splash black for Terminate now, unless Twin takes over in a serious way.

Volley becomes a 1-mana uncounted able roast out of SB in that scenario.

Ire Shaman is a good split card as an evasive 2-drop or a bigger evasive Silvergill Adept on 4.
You want to have the option to beat down or use mana and draw out advantage, so it retains functionality in all phases of the game.
I am a great card analyst.

So is Mono Red Devotion THE deck for Ire Shaman? Or does it have other applications?

LP that Rg deck is exactly the type of thing I was brewing alongside a Dash abusing deck. I may try to build this from the pre release tonight because damn does that look strong!

For anyone else that enjoy prereleasing you can fuck around here: http://www.magicdrafting.com/dragons-of ... d/?color=3

Or you can try to build this pool better than me. Going UB at prerel for best chance at value http://www.magicdrafting.com/savedpools/7731

Do you have a deck list, by any chance?

today someone got annoyed because i tapped my mana after revealing the spell i was playing
thanks for reading my blog dont forget to comment rate subscribe

he literally raped me as he mansplained "what can i say i play my lands in back and pay mana before i cast a spell" like the cisgendered male he is

are you insinuating you play your lands in front, because that is a bannable offense

I'm not sure I want to live in a word were cisgendered is a real world.

There are actually corner cases where tapping your lands before you play your spell as opposed to announcing your spell, then tapping to play your lands matters.

Yes, they are different methods and yes both are legal with variable rules implications.

Were those typoes intentional?

Huh. I did not know that. I always tap the mana first and then reveal the spell to cast.

Online it makes a big difference because if you choose the spell first and it's an x spell your opponent can generally tell what it is as the initial casting cost disappears then X starts sinking in

if you change your mind, it shows what's in your hand

I tap all my lands first for something like Rev without touching the spell in my hand, then think about it, incase I change my mind

I also do it a lot without having the spell, can usually bluff once every couple matches, sometimes a lot

Sadly not, but this made me giggle

I opened an incredible sealed pool, but didn't go 4-0 because scrub. Dropped one match while seated at table 1. Mull'd to 5 G1 and got stuck on 2 land / 1 color (whatever, happens) and then proceeded to punt G2 by trying to unnecessarily accelerate a 2 --> 1 turn clock with Butcher's Glee into 2 cards and open mana while racing against blue/white evasion.

I don't know the new cards by their art yet but I see Kolaghan so I am just going to assume you're right that your pool was incredible.

My commons/uncommons were all very strong. Plus bomb and most of the best spot removal in the set.

1cmc:
Lightning Beserker
Coat with Venom

2cmc:
Silumgar Assassin
Kolaghan Skirmisher
Blood-Chin Rager
Kolaghan Aspirant x 2
Qarsi Sadist

Twin Bolt
Ultimate price

3cmc:
Kolaghan Forerunners
Stormreach Brawler
Reckless Imp

Corpseweft
Butcher's Glee x 2

4cmc:
Warbringer
Vaultbreaker
Sabertooth Outrider
Vulturous Aven

Flatten

5cmc:
Sarkan's Rage

6 cmc:
Dragonlord Kolaghan

That does seem pretty nice.

BR looked like the best set deck easily.

The seeded pack gives you just enough quality to push your synergy over the top.

I saw a game where guy has Warbringer(dash cost 2 less) in play along with other random dork and his turn was dash double ambuscade shaman and kolaghan forerunners for lethal out of nowhere.
