Little control rebuild
exitus, 12 years ago
4 weak creatures were cut down and replaced by Devil's Play (really great against control and planeswalkers) and Tribute to Hunger (to get some extra lifes).
You almost each time have 3 lands for Vampire Nighthawk so theres not really problem with defense although you don't have any cheap draw spells.
I've also added some Rolling Temblor to sideboard cuz it could easily kill cheap creatures.

Decided to finally put in the infinite mana combo along with some red burn cards.
Re-vamp
AlphabetEnthusiast, 12 years ago
However much I liked the synergy of Talrand, Sky Summoner and Quirion Dryad they just weren't doing enough for me. I've set up this list that will hopefully be better? Now it's just a hunt for the new cards.

I'm probably going to remove Desolate Lighthouse in favor of something more... chaotic.
First Playtest and Change Log
topshelf7710, 12 years ago
I was finally able to play this beast in a 3-way, 4-way, and 5-way games. I have two observations. 1) Trostani is very fragile. She was getting hated out with removal consistently. I need something to help protect her for a little bit longer. 2) Mana is no problem for me. I think 40 land may be excessive, and I am thinking of dialing it back to 38. These observations lead me to my first change log:
-1 Storm Herd // +1 Lightning Greaves To take care of Trostani's death problems
-1 Forest // +1 Serra Ascendant Cut one of the excess lands to add a bomb as hell one drop in the format
-1 Plains // +1 Enlightened Tutor Since my build has several key artifacts and enchantments, having the Tutor to dig for them helps.

Revamped the deck to be more general based, took out a lot of the bigger chunk creatures that were doing nothing for the deck. Open to any suggestions of cards which will boost mana flow early on in matches.

i need to find a replacement for GSZ, any ideas, feel free to add them
DurzoBlint, 12 years ago
Took out 1 Essence Harvest. Kept drawing too many and not being able to use them. Really needed quicker ways to make creatures larger so also took out 1 Undying Evil and 1 Duty-Bound Dead and put in 3 Dark Favor. This may be the final build before I begin to add more expensive cards.

Pyrohemia replaces Chamber of Manipulation. I still kind of like the cards like Overtaker and Chamber of Manipulation to repeatedly use cards in hand to generate on on-board advantage, but Overtaker was trapped on a 1/1 body with a bad activation cost, and Chamber of Manipulation is vulnerable to both land and enchantment removal, and not giving the stolen creature haste was too big of a drawback in my girlfriend's view. Pyrohemia was cheap so I decided to test it out as a permanent-based sweeper effect.
Added and removed some things
Fuzzik, 12 years ago
My roomies and I split a RTR box and we pulled another Abrubt Decay, Slitherhead and Deathrite Shaman - The latter which I was most excited for. Have only been able to playtest with friends and have run into trouble with some control decks. Especially when anyone pulls out Frost Titan plus more control I have issues. Trying to roll into some Friday night magic sometime with this deck so suggestions would be great.
Deck changes & ideas.
Deetoz, 12 years ago
I've been playtesting with the following changes:
-2 Abrupt Decay
-2 Devil's Play
And so far, the deck has been not only more fun to play, it's more reactive and generally performs better. It seems Abrupt Decay is strictly a sideboard card for me, who'da thought so?
I'm also toying with the idea of adding 2 Chandra, the Firebrand for a real Superfriends-list.
As always, thoughts on the changes?
Deck overhaul and name Change
jeruroku, 12 years ago
Okay, So I added the Deathrithe shamans, and some other additions. The deck's primary goal is still killing my stuff, but now its more possible with cards like Killing Wave, etc.etc.
neonordnance, 12 years ago
I've decided to cut black. The deck now runs much faster but it's still missing something. I'll upload the new list soon.
Suggestions
SlipknoticAngel, 12 years ago
If anyone sees any suggestions abnout what could make this deck better, please feel free to suggest it.
Top Decking
stereomonk, 12 years ago
Note: Once you have an opponent top-decking, use Scroll of Griselbrand during his draw step to make him discard his newly drawn card.
GPT AC
senhor114, 12 years ago
Played at a GPT this weekend and went 1-2-2. Did ok and had a lot of fun playing. Didn't play any B/R decks but did play test against them after and they are def the worst match up since they are so quick. The other match up G/W Aggro, U/W Flash, Jund Midrange, and Hoff I am pretty good against. Any suggestions on sideboard or mainboard tech to help against the B/R would be helpful as I have a SCG Super IQ this weekend.
Added in Pacifism
Demonic_Evoker, 12 years ago
Added 3 Pacifism in exchange for land.
FNM
azulalbi, 12 years ago
Played FNM and did pretty well, ended the day 2-2
Match 1: RDW, lost 0-2
Match 2: Epic Expiriment [Or something]: Struggled at first but quickly gaind speed with the topdecking of a Sublime Archangel, Result: 2-1
Match 3: GW Beatdown, Intense game, went to time. Unfortunately lost at clock because i was down 6 life. Result 1-2
Match 4: Bant Control. First game i lost quite fast after going down to hand of 5. Next two games were swung heavily in my favor, winning around turn five or six by a large margin. Result: 2-1
Did not make it to the top 8, placed 13 out of twenty something.
Not quite sure what the side board needs so i could use some suggestions.

Mogalicous, 12 years ago
Added a bit more discard to the deck. Trying to shift the focus of the deck to something a bit more tricky rather than to smash face with big creatures.
