Manic Vandal

Creature — Human Warrior

When Manic Vandal enters the battlefield, destroy target artifact.

Deck looks sweet! Maybe a Plundering Barbarian could be an upgrade to Manic Vandal? It is a non-human, so perhaps not exactly a strict upgrade, but can fit the same slot if you want some flexibility.

So with adds and cuts I think I need less...like reanimator-y stuff and more fast creatures like Tectonic Giant. The best cards seem to be Flametongue Kavu and Tectonic Giant both in terms of ability and cost. So cards like Hammerheim Deadeye and Bloodshot Cyclops (but better) might be cool as kind of a control deck since 4 damage removes about everything in the format. Perhaps I should add more etb control/delay cards like Manic Vandal hmmm...that said I think having a threatening aggro board of value 3-5 drops will naturally fill my graveyard so I may need less "fill my graveyard" discard stuff than your typical feldon deck.

Hey, EvilG.

Thanks for your suggestion. Yes I have seen Ingot Chewer, but I do prefer Manic Vandal and Oxidda Scrapmelter. I don't see myself playing Ingot Chewer for its evoke cost in many scenarios.

Have you thought about using Ingot Chewer instead of Manic Vandal/Oxidda Scrapmelter?

Yet again, love the deck. I am always happy to see well built Norin decks. Thoughts and suggestions:

  1. Cloudstone Curio: although this card can be broken in many ways I actually run it for its card advantage, not to break it. Being able to bounce Dualcaster Mage back to your hand whenever Norin ETBs is incredible. If you had the mana you could cast Dualcaster during each other players turn. Returning cards like Imperial Recruiter or Dockside Extortionist feels like crazy card advantage. I understand that more cards aren't being drawn but in an ETB focused deck it keeps your hand full of answers and powerful effects.

  2. Remove Manic Vandal: I honestly don't understand why I keep seeing Manic Vandal, Ingot Chewer, and the like in red decks. I understand that they fit the ETB theme that many go for but I find them to be value suckers. Lets say for Manic Vandal you cast him for 3 and same turn copy him with Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker. Thats 3 cmc and a Kiki-Jiki trigger, that could have gone to a much more powerful ETB effect, resulting in two artifacts being destroyed. A Shattering Spree could do the same with 2 cmc. A By Force with 3 cmc. Granted you have the possibility of recurring Manic Vandal but it still seems like the resources that go into it could be used better elsewhere when red has so many artifact wrath style cards.

  3. I have to say I am with Mitch on this one: Wayfarer's Bauble! It may be a personal preference but I think that the actual ramp of the Bauble outweighs the land fetch of Expedition Map and the sort.

  4. Gilded Lotus slows down the tempo of your deck. 5 cmc for ramp is a little much when it isn't a doubling effect. I would recommend Everflowing Chalice. It is far more versatile and fits on the curve whenever you want it to.

  5. You said you play in a meta with a lot of pesky lands. I would recommend giving Thespian's Stage a go. It can be a fun card to play around with. Stealing the effects from a Gaea's Cradle or Maze of Ith can be a blast.

No Sunbird's Invocation or Stranglehold ? Dockside Extortionist ? Humble Defector and Imperial Recruiter ?

Duplicant might be cool. Magus of the Wheel could be helpful if you need more card draw, also Wheel of Fate

How do you deal with enchantments? Ever considered nev disk or o-stone? Maybe even Ugin or Karn Liberated?

Volcanic Offering offers you so much value and politics in 1 card.

I used to run tuk-tuk but I replaced him for Manic Vandal . Comes down more quickly and the lifeloss is negligible.

I forgot to mention Shadowblood Ridge if your vampires have BR in their costs. To keep synergy, Manic Vandal could go out for some more vampires or a Painful Truths . Some of the advantages of playing Vampires is that many of them are really cheap to acquire.
