Removed Concerted Effort as I thought it would give Suntail Hawk ALL of the buffs. Added Cleansing Meditation and Echoing Calm for more removal. Thanks Godzilla2012 :D

So, 1v1, pretty good. went 2-1. It only lost when I got caught by mana screw. 3 person multi, however, sucked. A lot. Horrible. It's good at taking one person out, but because it's not designed to be anything but fast, if the game goes more than 6-7 rounds, I'm doomed. So, not sure where to go from here. Awaken the Ancient worked beautifully every time. It really was the glue holding this deck together. I need something, but I don't know what...

Trying to add more draw (without Sylvan Library). Maybe toning down lands to 36ish

FNM 5-16-2014

CptnHndsm, 9 years ago

For my first FNM with this list I was fairly impressed! Was, sadly, paired against some VERY fast decks, and in Round 5 I drew terribly so I performed slightly worse than I was hoping putting me at 3-2 for the night and just out of Top 8 range. Nevertheless, I am very excited to try it again at the next FNM, and thanks to being paired against such fast decks, I found a few things that need to be tweaked! In short, I added more removal to the side, cutting some of the options that come in against control and upping the amount that is put in against aggro. On to the report:

Round 1 - Boros Burn (0-2) - This was probably the most disappointing start to any FNM of ever. This decklist literally ran EVERY possible burn spell in Standard and it was not unlikely to get a nice combination of: Skullcrack and Lightning Strike on my End Step, his untap, double Shock, swing in with Mutavault straight to the face. I literally sat there like an idiot as I was quickly annihilated. Nothing post board either so that was a very quick second game too.

Round 2 - Mono Black (2-0) - Redeemed myself after the first game with a solid beating to a Mono Black decklist. My board ran quite lucidly and I managed to drop a Turn 4 Elspeth, Sun's Champion which felt... AHHMAZING. My deck functions well against Mono Black and I feel like after a few more weeks of play, this list can rival any out there!

Round 3 - Boros Burn (2-1) - I sat down across from the only other Burn deck in Round 3 and quickly questioned the higher beings: "WHY?!" The match, however didn't go as poorly as I'd expected and I felt quite pleased as I walked away with a win. Game one I took easily after my first Brimaz, King of Oreskos was double Shocked and it was backed by a Second and he quickly ran out of answers due to using Warleader's Helix on my Courser of Kruphix. Game two he did what burn does best and quickly wiped me out and in game 3 I was able to stabilize quite nicely after landing three Courser on the field at one time. Burn me now sir... Burn. Me. Now.

Round 4 - GB Dredge (2-1) - I misplayed time and time again against this deck and was honestly really surprised I won, but Scavenging Ooze (needless to say) proved to be a beast and kept things quite well contained. Not much post board, but the main works nicely against this list!

Round 5 - GW Aggro (0-2) - Misplayed again game one, game two I drew terribly and the night was over quickly. Added another Anger of the Gods to the Sideboard as well as another copy of Mizzium Mortars because my list is incredibly weak to high aggression decks.

By the end of the night, I was disappointed, but also content. I did alright for moving away from the kitchen table and into a tournament setting, but a few things will need to be tweaked. Very eager to try again at the next FNM and this time, I hope to not be shy of that Top 8 placement!

Substitutions

Shadowrdr, 9 years ago

Added the following from Theros block: 1 Karametra, God of Harvests great legend for land grabbing when I can pull from the deck 1 Ajani, Mentor of Heroes 1 Heroes' Podium Also Added: 1 Command Tower 1 Act of Authority Removed 1 Idylic Tutor (for another deck) it's still good in this deck Balanced land do to changes

Added R/W God card

g4m131t, 9 years ago

Also added some 4x Spark Jolt and 2x Purphoros, God of the Forge to my sideboard. The spark jolts help clear annoying things like Soldier of Pantheon and scry is ALWAYS nice. Added Purphoros to help burn opponents quicker and buff creatures on battlefield during longer games when I run short on cards.

Riptose13, 9 years ago

Added -Dryad Millitants for additional 1 drop @ 2/1 -Boros Reckoners for general awesomeness. 3 devotion toward Iroas, 3 drop blocker. - Imposing Sovereigns for general counter play. Additional 2 drop @ 2/1. Taken Over Blind Obedience -Spear of Heliod gives overall buff to all creatures and counters. Extends usefulness of all small drops and tokens, extends life of deck. Changes -Went to 3 Iroas, Win Condition and should be played every game ideally. - Went to 3 Spark Troopers from 4. Response to adding additional Iroas - Land Change, dropped 2 Temples. Next Step. -Addition of Mutavaults for much more aggro, solidifies deck. -Changing Sideboard to suit more needs, currently handles -----Black/Red Removal with Fiendslayer -----Bigger Creatures with Reprisal and Banisher Priests -----Mizzium Mortars for Handling Pro-white Creatures (Blood Baron, StormBreath Dragon) -----Burn Decks with Aegis of the Gods -----Deicide for God heavy or Enchantment heavy decks

5-1 FNM

Catalyst, 9 years ago

So I've been holding onto and slowly trading for the things I needed to complete this deck at school, and I finally decided to go to my first FNM the other weekend. We had 5 qualifying rounds for the top 8, and I ended up going 5-0 flawless for those rounds and held 1st place throughout the night. My first round in the top 8 though, I went up against American Control that killed my spree, but it was a close 1-2 match. Ended the night in 5th place. I only ended up side boarding cards for maybe 2 different games, so I still need help with that.

+1 Sylvan Primordial

finally decided to give this guy a shot. Instantly great. Might go up to 2 if I can find room. Still looking for room for 1 more Kiora though so who knows. SP is just another huge dude with some serious upside, and is much easier to cast than I thought he'd be. This deck is still tearing it up on cockatrice, I just wish I had the cards in paper so that I could play it at an FNM. As always, +1 if ya like it & leave your comments below

Holy Crap 100 +1s!

GoldGhost012, 9 years ago

So this is now my second deck ever to make 100 +1s. Thank you everyone for your support!

R.C., 9 years ago

I took out the Screeching Silcaw since I didn't think I had enough artifacts to use it's ability. I added my other Curse of the Bloody Tome and my only Memory Erosion.

I might take out Chronomatron since I don't "need" artifacts, but I'm not sure what to replace him with yet. Maybe Counterspell, although I don't want to take out too many offensive creatures.

shinsar, 9 years ago

+1 Long-Term Plans (a way to go get key cards)
-1 Horizon Chimera (really only in there for Nekusar, the Mindrazer matchups)

Why don't you run...

TheGamer, 9 years ago

So, lots of people are probably wondering why I don't run some cards in specific. So, why I don't run...

Fog affects: The deck is Sphere of Safety Maze's End, not Fog Maze's End. You have to have a specific theme to a deck, here's mine.

Saruli Gatekeepers: As much as I love gaining 7 life and getting a 2/4 body, it isn't an enchantment. Every permanent in the deck (besides walkers and lands) are enchantments. Sooo, as I said in the top, it just doesn't fit the theme.

Crackling Perimeter: I want to run it, haven't got around to it yet.

Gods: "I mean, seriously TheGamer, they are enchantments". Well, yes TappedOut users, they are. But I will never get devotion because of the random amount to colors. Something I am considering is Kruphix, God of Horizons since devotion can be easily hit with this god and things can get crazy with multiple Eidolon of Blossoms out.

Anything else I should be running? Tell me in the comments!
