Vs. Momir Vig and Prossh
Penthoplayer, 6 years ago
So, this turned out quite poorly. At first, it was just vs. Momir Vig. During this time, it went 1-1, with game 1 being win by combat damage, and game 2 being loose to infinite mana and cast deck. Against both at once, we played three games, went 0-3. Lost all three times to Momir Vig infinite mana combo. I found I was having to pull my deck two different directions to impede everyone, and the little overlap between the two strategies was just a minor nuisance to both instead of crippling, like my deck wants to do.

After consistently flooding on what is statistically far too little mana for such a high-curve deck to run, I'm sitting pretty comfortable at 19 land. In addition, added a splash of red for Cut / Ribbons for more removal and, more importantly, some extra reach (which totally came into play multiple times). Glint-Sleeve Siphoner continues to impress me.
Huge Update
Illbean, 6 years ago
I've finally decided to rework this deck once a gain due to the ban of Felidar Guardian meaning it no longer has the possibility to go infinate the way i wanted it to (energy, mana and life).
I'm currently working out what a good direction will be for the deck while staying true to the NRG Blink theme. Stay tuned as it should be coming in a few days.
Imperial Recruiter Replacement
Decay57, 6 years ago
Switched out Imperial Recruiter for Recruiter of the Guard to make it more budget friendly for those that can't proxy. Does the same thing for 1/30th the price.
Update #1
DogDownUnder, 6 years ago
I decided to go up another Liliana of the Veil in the deck since they do work against most decks and with death shadow being a thing and the meta constantly changing I decided to cut all 4 of the Lightning Bolt for Fatal Push. Also the K commands weren't doing much as I only run 1 creature worth returning in the deck so we sideboarded those and went up another land. Let me know what you guys think and thanks!
Fog op
debook454, 6 years ago
I've found in my testing i would almost always just board in fogs, so now the deck has more fogs. Cast Out and Pure Intentions have also been added, the latter of which im not too certin about.
Tribal Focus?
LordGaron, 6 years ago
I've considered turning up the tribal synergy on this deck, either by including a focus on Goblins or Humans. Goblins have a strong tribal synergy, as well as multiple means of creating tokens. However, knowing the deck is Goblin tribal, opponents would likely work harder to beat the deck before it gets too powerful, since Goblins' reputations as powerful synergistic is well known. Humans have less Red tribal synergy, but have a decent amount to make a deck that rewards Humans attacking. Fumiko the Low Blood, Godo Bandit Warlord, and Feldon of the Third Path come to mind as Human generals. I've even toyed with the idea of Red Vampire tribal, focusing on +1/+1 counters and proliferate-like effects. Any suggestions?
Changed some numbers

Took out 1 Glorious end and put in 1 more leak. I was drawing a bit too much Glorious end when i needed gas. I am trying some more permission to see how it goes.
Updates for new bans and such
tlk_lone_knight, 6 years ago
removed: 2x Smuggler's Copter - Ban list. 2x Panharmonicon - Slow, better cards to use in place of. 2x Multiform Wonder - To slow to make powerful enough to make real impact. 1x Built to Smash - removed to make room for other viable cards. 1x Nissa, Vital Force - never really saw play for me. Added: 2x Haunted Cloak 2x Peema Aetherseer 2x Lifecraft Awakening 2x Rhonas's Monument Debating lower mana base and changing out Longtusk Cub's. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
"The Major Reworks of May"
Alexasmaoao, 6 years ago
Made some new changes to the deck, taking out Quickling and Surveilling Sprite and replaced them with Smuggler's Copter as a better way of pushing damage and looting away the Cloud Sprite etc. Also replaced the Adaptive Automaton for Psionic Blast as the card just seems to do better work and is more "adaptive"? The Sideboard has also been made to fit the meta a bit better, though it's nowhere near finished. Trying out Exhaustion atm. Spreading Seas, Ghost Quarter or Boomerang might be better options.
Main deck Commandeer is an experiment to allow for tapping out. This is justified through the inclusion of Smuggler's Copter to get rid of leftovers etc. I'm also thinking the 4th Vapor Snag might be a bit too many for the main, but haven't figured out what to replace it with yet (Possibly 1xVapor Snag for 1xJudge's Familiar).

Amonkhet and more!
AmazingGrace15, 6 years ago
Hello Everyone!
I bought the Gideon planeswalker deck at my local card shop, and made some other minor tweaks to this deck. I really liked Gideon, Martial Paragon, so I figured I would give him a try in this deck. I'm also testing out some mana buffing cards like Overgrowth and Verdant Haven.
Let me know what you think!

Small Changes
stangmar, 6 years ago
Cultivate --> Wood Elves: With some of the Decks in my meta i want some early game blockers, the tapped lands are not great and no one in my meta really runs much non basic land hate. Lets me tutor it with [woodland bellower]
Kozilek, the Great Distortion --> Protean Hulk: Distortions is cool sure, and his effect is neat, but it has never done much and I am pretty much guaranteed to not be hard casting him. Hulk offers far more flexibility.
Asceticism --> Eldritch Evolution: removal in my meta is mostly non targeted and gone are the days where i need my commander out to really make the deck function or even need to protect it from tucks. As such ill put the slot towards more tutoring and flexibility. Evolution should let me turn Mayael on a bad hand into a 5 mana creature and if i have any 5-6 mana creature out it becomes a very scary tool letting me pick the answer i need.
Hoard-Smelter Dragon --> Exquisite Archangel: I dont think the angel will end up being very good if im being perfectly honest, but im also not willing to write off a pretty relevant ability. The dragon is just getting cut because its ability costs a lot and hasnt been super useful lately
