Magic 2014 Game Day

TheGamer, 10 years ago

I used the deck at the local store's M14 Game Day and was a Quarterfinalist. Esper Control ended my amazing streak (I was 2nd place going into top 8). I also added some more Garruks and changed the deck a little bit.

3-1 @Gaming ETC (14th place)

reconaissance, 10 years ago

I decided to try the deck with the changes i made, and they were for the better, the deck was considerably faster and it was much more consistant.

6 Packs were won from the night.

Round 1 2-0 W vs. RG ramp. The kid (yes a ~10 year old kid) was playing a deck and obviously has not played since new phyrexia rotated (played an Arc Trail) and did not really understand how to make good plays.

Round 2 2-0 W vs RBW Tokens.

Game 1 he made a bad play forgetting that thalia had first strike and made a bad block.

Game 2 I had a slower start, but beat him with ajani.

Round 3 0-2 L vs BU Geist. I could not do anything against this matchup, he plays a turn 3 geist soulbound with nearhearth pilgrim, then puts Spectral Flight on it and undoes most of the damage i dealt.

Round 4 2-1 W vs Jund

Game 1 I beat him be clogging the board and beating him before he could stabilize.

Game 2 I lost with a slower hand, and his Scavenging Ooze took over.

Game 3 I crushed him with an extremely fast hand, turn 1 champion, turn 2 boros elite x2, and bashing for 9 each turn after, with a Brave the Elements in hand.

When Theros comes out-UPDATES

Magiclover318, 10 years ago

When Theros comes out, I am forced to change this deck, though not drastically.

I will be removing my 2x Avacyn's Pilgrim for a mana generator of some sort I believe.

I will be removing my Sublime Archangelfor either Fiendslayer Paladin or Archangel of Thune

I am most sad about losing my playset of Sunpetal Grove but hopefully I will have 4x Temple Garden by then.

I will be removing my 2x Scroll of Avacyn which makes me really sad because it stacks so well with Angelic Accord but I probably will be using Elixir of Immortality because I like getting my graveyard back. and it works great against mills, plus I still gain the 5 life.

Keep in mind this was updated without knowing any cards that Theros brings to the table. If I find any better cards in the future I will definitely update this.

If anyone actually reads these please comment below, I am removing all previous comments :)

Schechefter, 10 years ago

I swapped out 4 Plains for 4 Isolated Chapel for the time being while they're still in standard. after the rotation, i'll switch them back for Plains again. I also put Archangel of Thune my main deck in place of Riot Control seeing as how Riot Control is more of a case by case card.

Some small changes

FoxKit, 10 years ago

So, decided to take out the Sundial of the Infinite. I got it to work once or twice or so, but honestly, the games just aren't lasting long enough for me to make use of them. I haven't played a game yet where another deck has lasted longer than 6 turns against this one, which is great. =D

I also took out the Grim Affliction and the Plague Myr as a test, and am debating taking out the MImic Vat as well. I think it will work great lategame, but so far, lategame hasn't existed. I'll keep it in for now and keep testing.

Also, Rancor and Invigorate only help seal a turn 2-3 turn victory. They're awesome!

A Few Changes

Rizerof, 10 years ago

Thanks to flashter's comment (and also to my thoughts about the deck), I removed a Trostani, Selesnya's Voice for a Selesnya Charm, and a Grove of the Guardian For a Plains.

Any Ideas?

justinam92, 10 years ago

I'm looking for some ideas on how to make it further into late game. As long as people aren't countering everything I cast or burning Fencing Ace, I'm golden, but I have absolutely no way to prevent it. I don't know if there is anything else out right now to prevent any of that from happening. I was using Oblivion Ring until now since it's going out of standard. I don't know if I should put something in that prevents countering, actually run some counters since I've got the two Chromatic Lanterns, or if I should just throw more life gain in so that I can make it a few more turns.

FNM test number 1

dsdevnull, 10 years ago

This past Friday, I was able to play the new upgraded deck, I went 3-2 not what I hoped for but overall better than how I normally play. I lost against an life gain, exalted, angle deck, along with a selesnya enchantment deck. Anymore Ideas to help upgrade this would've nice!

Post Rotation Official!

SidewinderI, 10 years ago

I made it completely post rotation and i also changed a couple of things. Took out all mana ramp and made it more aggro consistent. Also gave it more answers to all kinds of threats.

Kizmetto, 10 years ago

decided to run Doomed Traveler as a 1 drop since my first creature was at 3 drop, i fear that might be a little late against other aggro decks, since hes just a blocker for me! sideboarded the Blustersquall for aggro decks, since they would be dead draws. Added Ghost Quarter to the sideboard as a pseudo Burning Earth , and so i can have more lands than them/destroy super cool non basic lands! Jace is alternate win con Rootbound Defense is to go with Supreme Verdict, so my own creatures survive or so they can survive other board wipes like and overloaded Mizzium Mortars.

First time play= win!

Anubiset, 10 years ago

Well, I played a 3 player game against a mono-green big meanie deck headed by Thrun, the Last Troll and a naya token deck headed by Rith, the Awakener.

All I can say is, "I LOVE THIS DECK!"

Heartbeat of Spring + Chromatic Lantern made the entire thing possible. For whatever reason, I found none of my draw stuff and was getting very annoyed (but kept everyone pretty equal with my commander) until I ended up with a Weird Harvest in hand. Everyone had all the mana they could possibly ever need and I decided to cast it for x=10. They got all of their big baddies and I got most of my card draw dudes, but ended up with Platinum Angel and Wishmonger in hand as well... um... heck yeah! While they could swing for upward of 500 damage, I couldn't lose.

I finally got my win condition in hand and played Arbiter of Knollridge (putting me to 304 thanks to Mr. Hippo), Congregate for a LOT (we didn't even bother to count at that point) Fogged when mono-green swung at me and had Test of Endurance trigger when it came back to me!

Anyway, because of the Weird Harvest and just how absolutely HUGE the game got, everyone was reduced to a hysterical laughing mess, as well as half the shop who ended up watching the monstrosity we created.

Anyway, can't wait to try it with even more players. I really don't expect to win again, but I don't care. It's way too much fun.

Edits

Snake_Oil, 10 years ago

Reduced the number of Desecration Demon and Ob Nixilis, the Fallen from 4 to 3 to make room for 2 Lotus Cobra

Feels a bit cluttered, so I'm looking for suggestions about how to refine my creature line-up.

Zombie Saprolings?

Joel_Castro, 10 years ago

I can make this deck go with Endless Ranks of the Dead and Army of the Damned. Just some adjustments here and there and BAM, zombie saprolings.

Yay or nay?

FNM results: I did decently, I got to one win away from top 8.

First match, I played vs a monowhite aura deck, with no hexproof or protection. The Oblivion Ring and Pacifism on my guys was annoying, but I just burned everything he had. Won 2-0.

Second, I faced a Junk Reanimator deck. Mulch, and Angel of Serenity. He sideboarded in some Acidic Slime as well, in one game flickering it enough to kill 4 of my lands, leaving me with a dead AEtherling in hand. Lost 1-2.

Third, I went vs a mono-green aggro deck with Strangleroot Geist, Predator Ooze, Prey Upon, and Increasing Savagery. Lost first game quickly, and started off badly the second game then managed to stall and come back, using Ral Zarek -7 to win. Ran out of time in the third game, so ended in a draw 1-1.

Fourth player was playing pretty much the same deck as before, with mono-green aggro. First game, I burned several of his mana creatures early, and countered what little creatures he managed to cast. Second game he came on strong and quickly won. Third game he attacked slightly slower, and my burn + Ral Zarek -2 let me control him 'till I won. Overall, won 2-1.

Fifth game, played Junk Reanimator again. I tried to sideboard in Negate and another Counterflux, and it worked alright to stop his Unburial Rites and digging, but I ended up unable to attack with a Nivix Cyclops on the field, and he hardcasted Angel of Serenity to win the second game. I hate Angel of Serenity. Lost 0-2.

Overall, for my first time I think it turned out pretty well. Nivix Cyclops can be weak at times without any spells to use during my turn to combo off his damage. And I think I need a way to sideboard well vs reanimator decks. But for a cheap deck that I made myself, it's pretty strong.
