Icbrgr on Break out

1 week ago

With the playtesting I've been doing there are 3 main observations I've made so far.

• a blind break out on turn 2+ with no other plays available feels very... "why not" ... it pseudo tutors into a card your already playing/want to see and give it haste... however it does feel bad hitting one drops like Phoenix Chick and Monastery Swiftspear; and so far I've never WANTED to just add a card in hand but the option is nice I guess.

• Regardless of the turn burning tree emissary into break out feels good amd almost feels mandatory to play together. Whether its turn 2 and just populating the board and putting on pressure or after a board wipe to get back into the game amd finish it.

• digging for specific creatures for certain situations like Scavenging Ooze or Cankerbloom can feel really strong.

I really like the Chandra, Acolyte of Flame addition; seems pretty sweet with Phoenix Chick.

I like the addition of the Chandra walker. Her 0 ability you are most likely to use all the time almost always ensures you can pay {R}{R} and get a Phoenix Chick back from the yard. Also I saw very early spoilers and saw we are getting Lightning Helix in the next set. Complete upgrade from Lightning Strike for you but my list needs to rework a little for it.

Hey, I saw your deck a little while ago and then your post on enchantment removal. I had a deck that started like this {technically I got a Red Burn pre con and went from there) and later added white for the enchantment removal. You can find my link here: Naya Burn Pioneer List. It was a private deck so the description is really just notes to myself.

Basically it's a straight up burn list, whatever can deal the most face damage is in. I took out all the wizards because I didn't like having to have a creature out for Wizard's Lightning and splashed white for main deck Boros Charm and Green for Atarka's Command (mainly the deal 3 and buff creatures giving a double buff to prowess creatures but having main deck "Can't Gain Life" is nice too).

I like your deck though! Bonecrusher is a great card I just opted for Eidolon of the Great Revel for more face burn but I could see Slaying Fire dealing 4 easy in your list, mine perhaps not as much especially at 3 mana.

Main deck I reduced it to 2 mana and have the Light Up the Stage to keep going through the deck. Sideboard I have some 3 drops like Chandra which is amazing as you know and I put in Squee, Dubious Monarch for a more removal heavy deck where I can't just board out all my creatures. Phoenix Chick is decent, it could be upgraded but the flying is surprisingly still good evasion to get in that 1 damage for spectacle.

I'd be interested in your thoughts as it seems your sideboard covers all bases and the list seems well built. After a good deal of play testing I found that you can in fact out race some decks and just straight up not run certain removals. I think Greesefang is the quickest graveyard deck and still by T3 we can deal a good amount of face damage with still another turn after their deck goes off.
