Dack Fayden

Sach_squatch, 11 years ago

Aquired Dack Fayden! Dack is not in the data base yet but the second he is he's being added in here.

His +2 allows me to draw 2 card and then discard 2... Thats 2 damage if Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind is out and this whole deck is built off that idea.

Dack's Ultimate will allow me to take the creatures from my opponents when I target them with Swerve etc.

Dack is a beautiful plans walker indeed.

3-0 Standard Tourney

Mn3m0n1c, 11 years ago

3-0 at a local small tournament, completely different crowd this week.

**Match 1: 2-0 UG Hydras **

-

Game 1: Turn

Well, It was a quick win. On the turn, but she stumbled on mana. Just efficient beats

-

Game 2: Turn

On the turn again, kept a risky hand with no 2 red sources but 2 Burning-Tree Emissarys and a Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx.

We both stalled on mana for a turn or two.. but once I got a second red source I had drawn a third Burning-Tree Emissary.. dumped 3 BTEs, activated Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx and played a Prophetic Flamespeaker with an equipped Madcap Skills. Meanwhile she only had a Elvish Mystic in play. Safe to say I had 14 power on board and 10 pump available for my doublestriker.

Match 2: 2-0 Golgari Black Devotion

-

**Game 1: Turn **

Game one was pretty simple, he went the route of Lifebane Zombiex2.. managed to snag my Burning-Tree Emissary and a follow up zombie to steal the Ghor-Clan Rampager. I drew another BTE and dropped both it and a Prophetic Flamespeaker. an Ash Zealot the following turn. Gave my BTE +1/+1 and double strike using Armed / Dangerous and swung in. he declared no blocks, I pumped my flamespeaker for the alpha strike as he was tapped out.

-

Game 2: Turn

I sided out my Boros Reckoners, Armed / Dangerous, and brought in 4x Rakdos Cackler and 3x Ranger's Guile for anti removal.

Seems like he stalled on land, had two Rakdos Cacklers beating him down. Then an Ash Zealot, then an alpha strike. He dismantled my hand with 2 Thoughtseize and a Duress, however it cost him and I had enough power on board to finish him.

-

Match 3: 2-1 Bant Control

-

Game 1: Play

He had a weird concoction of Advent of the Wurm, Courser of Kruphix, and Sylvan Caryatid along with all the staple control cards. I thought it was selesnya at first, but then he hit my board with a Supreme Verdict. I had only one chance to bust through this game and he had the Dissolve at the ready. scooped after a Sphinx's Revelation for 6 knowing he already had another Dissolve and Elspeth, Sun's Champion in hand.

-

Game 2: Play

Brought in 4x Rakdos Cackler, 4x Stormbreath Dragon and 2x Hammer of Purphoros.

Resolved a Prophetic Flamespeaker that generated some exile value, and conveniently traded with TWO Advent of the Wurms using a Giant Growth each time. He could not hold off any longer. Even after a rev for 3, my resolved Stormbreath Dragon and already dangerous board had him beat.

-

Game 3: Turn

Sided back out the 2x Hammer of Purphoros as it is too slow on the turn, brought in 2x Destructive Revelry

This game was one of those beatdown games resolving 2 Rakdos Cackler and 2 Ash Zealot. Was simple efficient beats, a Fanatic of Mogis for 7 after a few beatdowns took the third game. casting a Destructive Revelry on his Banishing Light got him into lethal range when it was his last hope.

-

Great matches, two very competitive decks.. the first match, she didnt really know what she was doing. I found out after the match she was running 16 lands, because she lent some to a friend last night ... I said to her, even with Elvish Mystics, you want to probably run 23-24 lands for a hydra green deck.

I continued to beat her for like 6 games after waiting for the next round trying to see what she could do.. she flooded in her next round and I heard her take the lands back out. I tried to help, but she's still in the beginner phase. Didnt want to be too pushy and make it a bad experience for her.

Debating on siding at least 2 Boros Reckoner or even with 2 Madcap Skills to get the Rakdos Cacklers mainboard.

However they were quite the shock in postboard games, where they expected the typical turn two beatdown strategy after seeing the first.

Mana base and options

ncortez001, 11 years ago

Mana base was originally 4 swamps...this deck requires too much blue mana to have basic swamps.

So: -4x Swamp +2x Mana Confluence +2x Island

This deck also can go a couple of paths...right now, there are 3x Cloudfin Raptor and 2x Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver. If you want to build towards ashiok, you can add another copy and replace the cloudfins with Frostburn Weird to protect the planeswalker.

I'm not sold which direction is best, but the current list is somewhere between and probably less than optimal because of that.

Comment clean up and card change ups

Oldneckbeard, 11 years ago

After some success at FNM I have changed out Mortal's Resolve for Burst of Strength. The indestructibility didn't prove to be as needed as I thought.

Also cleaning up comments that apply to cards that are not in the deck anymore

No more Putrid Imps

solron22, 11 years ago

Got my 4x Thoughtseize and 4x Cabal Therapy

They can basically do the job of Putrid Imp which is to discard my creatures from my hand and at the same time I can use it to discard my opponents counter spells.
