McSky23 I think you'll do better in your meta with the current Sideboard.

I didn't adjust it until after my first FNM.

By Force will let you get rid of those pesky Artifacts, and Scarab Feast will let you Exile some spells before Torrential Gearhulk recurs them.

Control will always be a problem for this deck, unfortunately.

I've set up suggestions for it in the Sideboard Notes.

Thanks._

McSky23 just giving you a heads up that I changed the Sideboard again.

This is for the Control match up.

Thanks. Appreciatively noted.

McSky23 I'm still mucking around with final numbers.

This should help against those problematic decks.

Argeaux What options do you have for Marvel? Rumor is, it's starting to creep back up

AgentGreen

He has By Force side-boarded to deal with cards like Aetherworks Marvel.

Bano42

"He has"

Oh boy....now you've done it *ducks away"

AgentGreen I've got Brute Force and in the Sideboard against Aetherworks Marvel.

If there are lots of it my local metal I may have to swap Lay Bare the Heart for Transgress the Mind.

Bano42

Dear, dear, sweet, innocent little Bano42

How pleasant it must be to live in your NO GIRLS ALLOWED pillow fort.

One of these days you must stumble out of that fort, and come over to my place, to play tea parties with my dollies.

Then we can climb some trees, and cut things with our pocket knives.

Until such time, enjoy your little fort.

Argeaux

Wasn't trying to assume anything. My apologies.

No worries.

My tone was actually one of amusement, due to AgentGreen.

I try to use gender neutral language on TappedOut, as you never know who are talking with.

I don't know if you're trying to stay in a particular format, but Kragma Warcaller seems like a pretty good addition. A little pricey from a mana standpoint, but can really close a game out quickly.

matchgrizzle I think she wants to keep this in Standard

Argeaux This deck , really kicked ass. MUSTs, are the 4x thrones, and the 4x staminas... Now, i didn't make major changes. all i did, was swapping 2 lands for 2xFiery Temper . Needless to say, that i got 6-2-0 at my LGS tournament. This deck is helluva fun! plus a budget one too!

the only thing that needs some attention is card draw. There were times, that i needed DESPERATELY cards. buuut that's over now XD . I will try and find a way to tweak it and inform you . Well played argy . well played

AgentGreen gotcha

Thanks ROUROU.

Glad you enjoyed it and that it did well for you.

I love playing it. It's like a freight train that just rolls right over your Opponent, once it warms up.

Although Control, especially with Fevered Visions, just eats it alive.

You could try putting some Painful Lesson cards in for draw, but it's tricky to know what to remove for them. They can also do an extra 2 direct damage if you need it to close things out.

I'm sure you'll work it out.

I don't believe you can beat Fevered Visions with this deck, unless you are very, very lucky.

Hi,

What do you think about Bloodlust Inciter instead of Zulaport Cutthroat?You can attack with your Bloodrage Brawler on turn 2 or on turn 4 with Ondu Champion.

And thanks for this really nice deck (and all the notes!).

prophet666 You have to be relentless and win as soon as possible, because of the control decks. The haste given by the Bloodlust Inciter is very good in a general way, buuuuuuut the cutthroat, takes advantage of a board wipe. this alone, means that even though we might not have an answer to a wipe, like other colours do ( Eerie Interlude , Cancel etc ) , we can be happy to see our creatures destroyed and our opponents lose chunks of life. Zulaport, is one of the irreplacable cards in this deck xD

How does this deck match-up against mono black zombies? Have you thought about adding a board-wipe, like Yahenni's Expertise? Or, do you find that you can outrace the deck in terms of speed/damage?

Love the deck, btw. I am planning on building something similar. When I saw Minotaurs were back, I was pretty pumped to build a tribal deck around them.

Cheers,

-R

Sorry Argeaux that i answer the questions people are asking you, but i have become VERY familiar with the deck and since you are a busy person, you don't have to answer xD .

TheRedCzar sometimes we can outrun the deck sometimes not. The side-deck though, is VERY helpfull. Transgress, is a sick card to get rid of the big threats, like the Diregraf Colossus , Liliana's Mastery . Scarab Feast , has saved me GAMES, cause of the interactions with the graveyard. Last, but not least, Zombie decks, tend to pay life and draw cards. This life is way too precious to spend and we can outrace them xD .

I would love to give you more advice or to suggest more cards, buuuut i don't know about the deck-meta at your L.G.S. . If you run into a dead end, you can always add your own cards and see how it goes. play around and tell me how it goes ;)

That's OK ROUROU.

This is the time that I'm usually asleep, so I'm not awake to answer.

The answers you gave are what I would have said, anyway.

It's actually quite thrilling to see that someone else understands this deck so well.

TheRedCzar my latest Sideboard Note is for the Zombies.

I have been considering a board wipe against them. It's just that our deck doesn't really like wipes. Although we have the Haste from Hanweir Battlements, which they don't.

Of course we can always cast a Minotaur on top of Yahenni's Expertise.

I'll just wait to see what the local meta does before going that way.

Thanks ROUROU and Argeaux.

My thinking was in line with Argeaux, more that if we were getting later in the game and they've been using good spot removal, leaving me with only a few creatures, and them with a board-state that has gotten out of hand. I like the idea of Yahenni's Expertise because we can get another spell off after the wipe. Though, I guess if I am doing proper spot removal on their key-threats, the board should never reach that state. I guess I will have to play test it first and see if it is necessary. I was just curious how your experiences have gone against Zombies, as they are pretty big around here right now.

I was thinking of going with Lay Bare the Heart over Transgress the Mind. I'm not facing a lot of Marvel decks, so the legendary ruling on Lay Bare does not bother me as much, and I can nab a few key cards that are in the 1-2 mana range. Though I am going to play test with both and see which one works out better.

Thanks again for the insights and the help!

This deck seems interesting Argeaux. I was searching for a Minotaur tribal since I pulled Angel of Sanctions and foil Neheb, the Worthy in the same pack, and this deck has given me some inspiration. Upvote from me. I also wonder if you can help me with a sideboard with my deck Journey to the Afterlife and to build a deck around Kefnet the Mindful. I recently pulled a Kefnet invocation and I want to utilize it in standard.
