What would you build once Journey hits?
Deck Help forum
Posted on April 21, 2014, 10:10 a.m. by nashbridges52
I have been playing around with all sorts of different brews ever since the spoilers for Journey dropped. I'm wondering what the community thinks would be best to build.
I want to win, but I also don't want to run a netdeck. I know that it probably depends greatly on my meta which deck will be best, but I still want people's opinions on what seems most viable?
These are by far the most fun decks I've put together, I'd love your opinon:
BW human aggro: Blizzards of the Coast
Mono Black Beatdown: MBD (Mono Black Demons)
Rakdos Burn: Microwave Oven
BWR Combo: Athreos, God of Combos

I'm going to be running Mono Black Aggro until I get all the pieces I need for a Sphere of Safety lockout deck. I ran the lockout deck last week and went 3-1, which was surprisingly good for a deck that was using Trading Post as a card advantage engine... This new one is going to be much more coherent though, using all of the D&T type creatures as well as the new sheep.
As for MBA, that's still pretty much the BNG Event deck + good cards. The only thing that i'm adding is Gnarled Scarhide . I can only assume that i'll have a playset after opening 2 boxes of journey.
I may also add Master of the Feast if I pull a decent amount of them.

I will be running a Grixis burn deck. I utilize consistent burn through Mogis, God of Slaughter and Keranos, God of Storms . Those plus lots of scry and other burn likeRakdos's Return . It works very well.

If I had infinite money, I would probably build a B/G Dredge deck. I think it has all the tools to be good and be dangerous.

I'm gonna be messing around with some mono black/Rakdos aggro builds personally.

I'll probably work on my old Boros deck that I ran before we got Theros block. There is a lot of good stuff for that sort of deck that I think Boros can be a big contender again. If not that probably mono white aggro.

I'm building esper gifts, however, that's for modern....
I probably won't be building anything for standard, as I'm always unable to make it to standard tournaments.

Red white burn. White weenies has been getting so much love, and R/G monsters loses to it. As it happens, R/G monsters is R/W burn's worst matchup. I'm hoping R/G monsters will go to the wayside and let my deck shine.

I have sleeved a deck, using proxies for what I do not have yet, based on this deck, for play testing...
Athreos says... Playtest

DrLitebur Get the idea somewhere else? 1 Drop Standard? Almost
I built this at 12:30 when I saw him Athreos, God of Passage get spoiled. Never looked back.
April 21, 2014 5:18 p.m.
Well Ohthenoises, as soon as I saw the card spoiled, I was already thinking on the ways to exploit it. I have been thinking on how to make Shadowborn Apostle s relevant, and when I saw Athreos, God of Passage , the deck just came to me. Plus, I got curb-stomped by a decent B/W humans deck featuring Xathrid Necromancer at a FNM a few weeks ago, and liked the build.
That was where I got the ideas, but your deck is a good one...simple and direct.

I think people misunderstood the point of this post...
Go for the B/W Humans build, B/W Humans are going to be a really good deck post JOU, I can just feel it. Athreos, God of Passage and Xathrid Necromancer pretty much make all of it's bad match ups good. It pretty much loses to G/R Monsters, and that deck isn't nearly as popular as before.

Ohthenoises - often people have similar thoughts: I was runnin this before Athreos was spoiled and Athreos will be in the deck: My little army
Also, how to beat B/W humans - play Anger of the Gods. :D

I love Izzet. I don't know how it will play out though. Temple of Epiphany will be great. Whatever you think. Good luck

Boros weenies. I'm running Izzet burn ATM though so I'm happy for Keranos, God of Storms for that at least.

I'm gonna have a bad brew built for my article on PureMTGO this week that I plan on piloting for a few weeks. It basically uses Kruphix, God of Horizons and other mana accelerants to hit a huge Clan Defiance
