Awesome Update

Frayace, 11 years ago

I learned of Nantuko Shade's existence recently, and immediately got a playset of him to replace my Looming Shades, which is awesome.
I also got a playset of Lashwrithe now.
I may replace all my Liliana's Shades with Korlash, Heir to Blackblade once I get a playset of him.
I'm also going to replace Tendrils of Corruption (even though I love it) with a cheaper removal spell, since my deck's mana costs have been going up.
I need a way for my creatures to get through blockers, any suggestions there would be nice.
Thank you everyone, and I hope you continue to help me improve this deck :D

Friday Night Magic

fullmetalmexican, 11 years ago

Tonight, I tested out my latest creation & I can see that my deck is very weak to Burn & aggro. Although I did not face any control decks, I do have somethings in my sideboard for it.

Round 1, my opponent ramped up into many things. He piloted R/G Monsters with the usual suspects. As I was unable to draw any removal spells, the end results was a 0-2 on my record.

Round 2 was very annoying to say the least. My opponent must of learned pyromancy from Chandra Nalaar because he casted a Young Pyromancer , a Guttersnipe , a Chandra's Phoenix & a pesky firesatyr Dancer on all three games. Luckily, my lifegain, courtesy of Whip of Erebos & my barrages of creatures helped me immensely. 2-1

Round 3, U/W Heroics was a nice break :-)

Word of advice: Do not let any heroics get fat! Fortunately for me, my newly aquired Vraska the Unseen planeswalker, helped me destroy that 6/6 double striking Fabled Hero before I died.

The end result was a quick 2-0 for me :-)

Putrefy is a good removal spell but when your being Overrun by a horde of aggressive creatures, im not sure if keeping them in my deck will be the answer.

I will change things up here & possibly cut something here.

FNM 1st place

(1st Place) FNM Report 4/4/14

mrbloo1848, 11 years ago

Hello!

The Mosh Pit had yet another successful gig tonight at a local FNM. There were 6 rounds and I went 5-0-1 to finish in 1st place in top 8. I have made some minor changes in the main- and sideboard and so far it's worked wonderfully.

R1: White Weenie (W 2-0)

An interesting white weenie brew that revolves around the heroic mechanic. Got game 1 thanks to Obzedat, Ghost Council and Lifebane Zombie getting in there. Won game 2 thanks to Whip of Erebos and tons of lifelink.

R2: White Weenie (W 2-1)

White devotion aggro deck that runs some interesting fun cards. Won game 1 with Lifebane Zombie rambo'ing solo and outracing his team thanks to my removals. Lost game 2 to a slow hand and him getting huge too quickly thanks to Eidolon of Countless Battles and Heliod, God of the Sun. Won game 3 thanks to Stormbreath Dragon and Blood Baron of Vizkopa, our resident pro-white duo.

R3: Rakdos Aggro (W 2-1)

I really like this deck. It's fast and simple and has more oomph than its monored counterpart. However, it does have its share of inconsistency due to its being two color. Lifebane Zombie got in there once again in game 1. Lost game 2 to a super fast start and me making a misplay and that costed me a turn's worth of damage, which is huge. We both got to topdeck mode in game 3 and me being midrange of course came out on top. Slammed two Blood Baron of Vizkopa down and it was game over.

R4: Red Deck Wins (W 2-1)

Monored aggro! Lost game 1 to a predictably explosive start. Won game 2 with Obzedat, Ghost Council and he conceded after not hitting anything in the next 2 turns. Got game 3 with Sin Collector-Desecration Demon wombo after he started sacrificing mountains to Hammer of Purphoros but only connected just once before I leave mana open for kill spells.

R5: Esper Control (W 2-1)

I usually would have drawn into top 8 by now, but I was paired down so I had to play. Guy mulliganned to 5 in game 1 and I thought I had the game in the bag and then he resolved Sphinx's Revelation for a total of 4 cards over 2 casts and that got him right back into it. I eventually stopped drawing threats and was just staring down an AEtherling that I had no answer for so he eventually raced me out. Game 2 started with 2 Sin Collectors back to back, stripping him of everything he could use to deal with them while leaving him with a lone Sphinx's Revelation (the reason why I didn't grab it because of the next play). I then casted Slaughter Games naming Sphinx's Revelation and he didn't even have enough mana open to cast it for 0 so that pretty much meant he was holding nothing but lands. He was taking 4 every turn from the two 2/1s and I eventually just sealed the game out with Rakdos's Return before combat. Game 3 started with some Lifebane Zombie to test out the waters and his ability revealed a decent mix of spells but no counter in sight, which was very good for me. He resolved Jace, Architect of Thought 3 times but only got to use the -2 ability once each thanks to my Lifebane Zombie and from all three flips, he didn't get much at all, at least not enough to turn the tables. I eventually resolved Obzedat, Ghost Council with a Whip of Erebos back-up in my hand and a second Obzedat, Ghost Council as well. I didn't cast the whip because I knew he had a Revoke Existence in his hand and so I didn't feel like giving him a target for it. The two dudes eventually got him low enough for the eventual Stormbreath Dragon drop.

R6: ??? (Draw 1-1-1)

Intentional Draw. We are both at 15 points and are lock in the top 2 spot.

After Swiss rounds, I finished 1st in the top 8 and we split the prizes.

Anyway, onto the changes I made and their justification:

Main:

-1 Mizzium Mortars - Moved to sideboard. The card is narrower than ever right now. Might as well throw 'em in the side and pull 'em out when I need to.

+1 Dreadbore - Moved from sideboard. The card is not nearly as narrow compared to Mizzium Mortars. Worked way better.

Side:

-2 Drown in Sorrow - I am starting to see a decline in white weenie thanks to recent rise of Esper Control and black devotion. Thus, I no longer have a dire need for this card.

+1 Bile Blight - This replaces the Drown in Sorrow but I don't need more than 1 copy.

+1 Pithing Needle - This card is still so damn versatile. Insta-in for me. I needed another card against control anyway.

3/1 fnm

Felixlives, 11 years ago

Game 1 lost bad to sliver aggro due to bad draws i was trying to dig out the whip game 1 and communed 3 abrupt decays to my gy fml. Game 2 had 3 sylvan caryatids but after overloaded mizzium mortars was left with no black mana and never dug up any big threats or the whip. (The kid got lucky aggro is my second favorite opponent next to burn) 0:2 Game 2 won against rakdos black devotion Sin collector made a huge effect on game 2-3 getting rid of pesky thoughtseize and rakdos returns. 2:1 Game 3 won against rakdos burn minataurs. Never sided in sin collectors against his mad amounts of burn spells because lifegain and fat creatures quickly put me out of his range 2:0 Game 4 won against junk deck similar that played more kill spells and thoughtseize but not as many monsters. Sided putrefy over abrupt decay as most his stuff was 4+ mana. 2:0 6:3 Bad draws against game one but other than that the deck played as i expected.

Total deck revamp

Loyalty, 11 years ago

After a seemingly perennial duration of neglecting this deck I have finally concluded to remove all of the modern cards occupying the space of many newer (arguably better) standard cards. This is almost a total change and the dilapidated deck that I was once proud of has been revolutionized. All of the comments have been cleared and this deck takes it's steps towards a new life which I hope many fellow Tappedout users will assist in shaping.

1st FNM

Epicchicken, 11 years ago

I went to my first FNM and I went 2-1! (Out of three rounds). I am happy with my performance! Thanks everyone for advice I really appericate it!

Phil, 11 years ago

Took out 2 Render Silent and put in 2 Supreme Verdict. Have enough counterspells, but not enough creature control. Seems to help. I guess I'll have to put in 4 eventually. Too good a card not to put in.

Cost me about 9 USD so far. Performs quite well.

1st place FNM

Dozing, 11 years ago

FNM 4-4-14 I went 8-0 1st place. Top 8 first match - grixis control. I took it 2-1. I lost to an ashiok that went unchecked. Ouch. but I came back in game 3 it was a fun match. second match - R/W/B midrange. I took it 2-0, my deck was just too fast for his 5 drops and elspeth. Skullcrack did work against his lifegain. Top 2 - Esper control. This was a tough match, he's a really good player, but after sideboard I took it 2-1. Erebos and rakdos's return are gamebreakers in this match.

Euroclydon, 11 years ago

Went 2-1-1. Drew with one of our regular winners' GWB control, went 2-0 vs Orzhov Control and a Boros/Heroic/Aura thing. Lost to weenie white =(. That convinced me to add in Drown in Sorrow for next week.

GreAsyG, 11 years ago
