Help with sideboard please. Deflecting Palm is subbing in for Ride Down.

Also, only lost 1 match in testing so far and that was with a splash of black and without Chained to the Rocks.

Poluk was proving to be more threatening than nemesis. And Sidisi is not my cup of tea -2 Nemesis +2 Polukranos -1 Sidisi +1 Nighthowler

FNM Win!

jedc22, 11 years ago

I went 6-0 at FNM with this deck for first out of 38 and 9 packs! Unfortunately i was unaware that you can't preorder boxes with store credit so i traded them in and now have to wait till i save up enough actual money to buy the box once it comes out for 20$ more =( Here is a rundown of the decks I faced (that I can remember) rd 1. mono black beats The mirror is one of my worst matchups, invalidating my doom blades and mogis's marauders, which are key parts of my deck. not to mention nighthowler just grows into a house. he took game one trading things with deathtouch against my little guys then beat with a nighthowler while I was stuck with a doom blade in my hand for the entire game. I sided in dark betrayals for game two naturally and won that. In game three he had double nighthowlers and looked like he would have it, but I pulled it out through hero's downfall and flying for 2-1 rd 2. I don't remember =S rd 3. dragons Standard big red dragons that get bigger, mixed in with circle of flame and rabblemaster. I took the first game fast, second game I sided in things like brain maggots to try to get threats out of his hand in the beginning and thought I would lose for sure when I saw 2 anger of the gods, rabblemaster, and circle of flames. somehow I pulled it of though and won 2-0 rd 4. I don't remember =S rd 5. mono white enchantments This deck was interesting to play against. At first I thought it was heroic because I looked at one of his matches earlier and he had phalanx leader and fabled hero out. I won the first game quick, then I learned in the second what I was really playing against when he got ethereal armor and eidolon of countless battles on his fiendslayer paladin real early swinging for 7 with first strike/lifelink that I couldn't take out with any of my removal. The third game I got his life total to a manageable amount before he managed to do the same. unfortunately he wasn't enchanting fiendslayer, so I took it out and finished him in the air. rd 6. mono green devotion This deck should really have it's name changed to Devotion to Nissa using Nykthos, Shrine to Polukranos. He swarmed the board with mana dorksthen used devotion for mana, voyaging satyr to get more devotion mana then monstrosity on polukranos to blow the field and win with a big/big polukranos. my problem with this deck was 1. he had a lot of things to block my aggro with, givin the many many mana dorks, and 2. there was always something else I needed to kill before I could hit him, whether it be a polukranos, or nissa, or garruk. I lost the first game to a prime example of how his deck works, then won the second game by going through all 4 of my mogis's marauders. It all came down to the third game with 4 minutes left of the round, I won it through sheer speed, beating him down before he could get more then a few mana dorks on the board.

the deck has kind of morphed into a new variation with the additions of new cards like Butcher of the Horde and Deflecting Palm, but i think it will flow really good. i really want to add Ride Down but am unsure what (if anything) to take out for it atm.

Update 2

Well, my idea for a budget deck has been somewhat blown, so the deck now includes some more "Professional" cards and a somewhat different strategy.

Spell Burst vs Condescend

buildingadeck, 11 years ago

Here is my dilemma:

I like Condescend because it provides me with a scry two, but it is a little less of a certain card if my opponent has the mana to counter it. Late game, that usually isn't the case (except green ramp). On the other hand, Spell Burst is very much a card that says, no, you may not cast said card. It's weakness is in the early game because you're less likely to have enough mana to counter a creature whereas, Condescend becomes useful by turn two (since your opponent is most likely going to cast a two-drop on turn two) while Spell Burst falters. The other downside is that Spell Burst cannot scry. Help?

Took out the fetch lands and Gaea's Cradle to make it affordable

I realized that Aether Vial is too slow and I took it out for some basic removal i.e. Path to Exile and Lightning Bolt

Played against this deck with my old commander deck, riku, and lost horribly and quickly. Working on playing against it a second time and it's not looking all that good.
