What do you know about the gear wars?

Alex_Osborne It was never about the gears.

i've thinking about this deck since i visit mtggoldfish and prepare to build it.... but the main problem if we go against control, its a bad news..... but this is definitely a must try deck IMHO

hellkite Against control you can deck in 2x Kambal, Consul of Allocation & 4x Bloodrage Brawler

The point being if they destroy or counter the kambal/bloodrage they leave the chance open for a gearhulk drop later on these creatures gives nice body until you can cast gearhulk for their full cost.

You just need 1 combustible on the board and they can't really answer it without wasting 2 spells.

But I can't deny that control is a tough mathcup, probably the worst.This deck wrecks zombies and ramunap.Also I with the release of ixalan, there's more graveyard hate and even ETB hate.So I'm unsure where this deck is going if people sideboard them.

Nice to see someone else using Kambal, Consul of Allocation, he's worked wonders for my reanimator deck cuz we suck shit against control. Really liking the cycling tech, I was using Angel of Condemnation instead of the cycling angel, but I think that may change lol.

@jellowsmurf thank you!! I did try to use angel of codemnation, but the main problem is that it,s played on the same cost that everything that makes the deck work Refurbish Madcap Experiment, I thought cycling would do wonder to help us reach the cards we need. I did look at other cycling cards but vigilance, flying on a possible 4/4 body is just annoying to deal with for anyone :)

Awesome deck man! +1 from me

@arice332534 Then snap that upvote button :D

Love the deck... I had issues playing against mono-red so, I dropped in a couple Authority of the Consuls. It helped slow down haste creatures and added extra life for long Madcap Experiment draws.

StAsmodeus thank you very much, Yes the aggro matchup is a bad matchup for this deck.But nothing that you can't overcome if you live until you drop one or two creatures in.I I simply use the sweltering suns from my sideboard and it does it's job.

But authority doesn't seem bad at all.

Have you considered Blood Sun in sideboard vs Scavenger Grounds or do you not go against it enough to know for certain? I play this very same deck build in my own play group/standard crowd and the only matches I've lost is against one guy twice with is little bastard. Other than that, the deck is amazing.

arice332534 I could definetly run it in the sideboard, but scavenger isn't the only card to remove a graveyard and blood sun does nothing against the other cards. Also, just like you said, nobody in our playgroup runs scavenger so it's not a problem for me.

In my opinion, blizzard made sure this deck doesn't get out of casual play.

I meant wizard obviously, I always mix the two.

No worries.

We all make mistakes.

I wouldn't have known that English is not your first language, so you are very proficient with it.

I actually already tested your deck, as you seemed to be a nice person, so here are my suggestions.

This crushes other Creature decks but, as you pointed out, it struggles against Control.

Kambal, Consul of Allocation is a bad card to use against Control as it will just be Countered, or won't stick around.

You might do well to replace it with two more Supernatural Stamina. Control HATES that card.

Vraska's Contempt is a superior card to Never / Return.

It has much more versatility, and is a must play in any Black deck, at the moment.

Blood Sun is an atrocious card to use in Standard, right now.

It makes all of your Opponent's lands come in untapped.

I would use two more Vraska's Contempt instead of those, or add some Lost Legacy to the Sideboard.

You'd be far better off including some Field of Ruin in your Mainboard, to deal with problematic Opponent lands. That will let you get rid of Scavenger Grounds handily enough - a big problem for this deck.

You might also add an Arch of Orazca to your lands. The late game draw it provides helps to close out long matches.

Hope those Comments help you.

Draw well.

This is a terrific idea.

The deck is very original, and is as fun as hell to play.

Argy Thanks for your time! it's appreciated!

I followed all of your advices, with the exeption of Arch of Orazca

While I understand the value of drawing cards in the late game, I fear I might draw it instead of a much needed colored land in the early game and that it would hurt more than help. (I added field in mainboard) so that would be alot of colorless lands.

Guess I'll need to order a few cards after I test it out.

Have a great day!
