Quick Update and Journey additions
HeftyUpTop, 11 years ago
Just a quick update, there were several double-header and non-standard events at my local shop through March so I didn't get to play this deck in it's 'true' form more than once at an FNM. Suffice to say pilot error killed my record as I misplayed my ass off and started to not really care. Mono-Blue was winnable if i'd trusted my gut and not my head and Selesnya Monsters I focused on ulting Gideon (it worked!) instead of winning.
Anyways, last week I tried a W/B deck with the same gameplay style (2/2, had to drop before 5th round) and it would probably work but wasn't tuned like this is. With one more outing before Journey, this Friday will see if I can snap myself back into top spots.
As for Journey into Nyx, here's the list of spoiled cards I'm thinking about adding!
Burn/Control
-
Spite of Mogis - R, Deal damage equal to inst/sorc in graveyard, Scry 1. Uncommon.
-
Riddle of Lightning - RR3, Scry 3 then reveal top, deal CMC damage to creature or player. Uncommon.
-
Deicide - W1, Instant, Exile Enchantment, if a god exile all copies from hand/graveyard/library. Rare. (Hell to the yes!)
-
Banishing Light - W2, Enchantment, Exile target creature until Banishing Light leaves battlefield. Uncommon.
Other
- Dictate of the Twin Gods - RR3 Enchantment, Flash, Double all Damage (ALL damage). Rare.

2-2 With Jund again. Seem to be spot on with Junds 50% favored rating!
After 4 weeks, I think i'm sold on not playing the bolts now. There's really only one or two situations where I want to have Lightning Bolt in hand, and the main one is when they play a turn 1 Mother of Runes on the play. Other than that, it's never really been something I've wished to have.
Match-ups and performance went like this.
Round 1 Miracles: 2 - 0
Round 2 Junk: 0 - 2
Round 3 Miracles: 2 - 0 (I surgical'd a RiP game 2 to find out he had 5.)
Round 4 Patriot: 2 - 1

Added 2x Pithing Needle to the sideboard to deal with Mono Black decks better. Sideboarded 2x Essence Backlash for 2x Nullify for quicker removal.

JOU Spoilers

Based on the Journey into Nyx spoilers Melek, Izzet Paragon will be taken out in favor of Keranos, God of Storms. This will add additional draw power or Lightning Strike based on initial draw step. Magma Jet scry & Izzet Charm will help out with activating the ability of Keranos that you need.
madness?

Tossing around ideas for different creatures with good madness abilities. Having a few around but was wondering if any had suggestions. Feedback appreciated

I removed the gladecover scouts and the wasteland vipers. I upped the dryad militant count to 4, added another swordwise centaur, and added 2 nylea god of the hunt.

AtticusLynch says... #1 This is ridiculously awesome. One card I might suggest is Kaalia of the Vast . She's not a dragon, but damn would she be helpful. The only problem is figuring out what to remove for her if you decide to use her. APRIL 6, 2014 11:18 P.M. Hereticus says... #2 Thank you, and i did not remember Kaalia of the Vast until i saw her picture lol, a quick question for someone to answer...what do i get rid of to fit another something along the lines of Murder or Oblivion Ring in, its kind of bugging me i have almost too much bruise and next to no control of any type APRIL 7, 2014 4:46 P.M. AtticusLynch says... #3 Out of everything in here, the one card that I would really think about taking out is Niv-Mizzet. The rest of this deck seems to be focused on raw power instead of tricks and such. In a more focused burn deck The Firemind is great, but maybe not here. APRIL 7, 2014 8:59 P.M. Hereticus says... #4 Looking at that i agree, also got rid of the double strike zombie that for some reason i put in, made room for Kaalia of the Vast and a Murder APRIL 7, 2014 9:23 P.M. AtticusLynch says... #5 The zombie was an interesting choice, but maybe not the best for this deck. Taking it out was probably best. If you feel the fancy, you should check out my EDH that I've been working on. You seem to have a pretty good idea of what you're doinga nd I would appreciate the help. Kresh's Highscore! (Work in Progress).
