I took out a large number of cards, and added a stronger artifact acceleration package. Part of it was to make the deck more consistent into accelerating into MW, but the other reason part of it was a meta shift into a more creature light deck. I find that more often that I would like to admit, I was losing a big mana dork to a SOFI trigger, mizzium morters, ect, ect. Even total board wipes really could hurt the set-up if played at the wrong time. As the land count starts to fall, I expect cards like exploration will also leave soon. My last set of cards removed where colorless lands. I found that with a larger amount of colorless acceleration, I should cut back on lands that do not produce mana. Vesuva never copied anything relevent enough to justify it coming in tapped, Reliquary tower was axed as I never really needed more than 7 cards, and if I got to that stage, I was probably so far ahead keeping a few extras was never that relevant.

After a few playtests, I changed a few things.

It was having trouble putting creatures on the ground. And most of the spells were creature targeted only. So I added in Chandra's Phoenix, since once it is drawn, it should always either be in my hand or in play. Put in some more player damage spells as well.

Took out Teleportal and one of the Epic Experiment. With as many creatures and context specific spells are in this deck, it seemed to fail more often than not.

AndyReveler, 11 years ago

6k views and comment reset

Devilsmage, 11 years ago

I am resetting the comments as this has gotten a little hecktick! Also, I am seriously debating on removing purphoros god of the forge because I can really only use him if im already in a position to win (an ult with a walker or lots of small tokens from broodmother or mycoloth...) I know its an instakill, but I think I might be able to use the 2 slots in another way? Thoughts?

3-0

Zhane23, 11 years ago

Woot woot, so yeah this deck went 3-0 at my local FNM, small place so sue me.

Round one I face Red Deck wins... it was a total blowout and I destroyed them 2-0. My lifegain was just too good... and I happened to be more aggro than him. Hey what do ya know, boros deck wins, now featuring lifelink!

Round two was facing Mono Blue, this was Peter's deck list. game one I mulligan to five without lands and just couldn't get there. However game two after sideboarding switching my Fabled Heros for Banisher Priest was crucial. Both games I attacked with one huge attack and got him down to two life, afterwards I had Boros Charm like five turns later for game, It was really tough.

Round 3 I faced Azorius Enchantment Control Pacifism Sphere of Safety Sphinx's Revelations Oh my. Game one stuck on one land most of the time... eventually I got more land and swung for more damage. After he sphere of safetyed it was pretty tough but a top deck of nykthos,shrine to nyx like six turns later let me attack and that was game, I swing for over 20 damage in one hit. Game two he Pithing Needled my nykthos and I got him down to 1 then he used Elixir of Immortality into him wiping my board over the course of a few annoying Azorius Charming turns into counter spell. I Boros Charmed him to one life. Later On I had Boros Charm but knew he had Syncopate. He tried using elixir to gain life so in response I Boros Charmed him, he Syncopated, I payed four mana and ended up winning a very tough fight. Overall they were tough matches but I only lost one game out of everything so I'm happy. Also Boros Charm was the obvious all star of the night. Relevant in two out of 3 games.

Went 2-2 at the grand prix. very happy with how this deck turned out. the matches i lost went to the third game and i got a turn 4 win one game. cant wait to try it at FNM where the play level is probably lower

Moveing to modern

J3d4, 11 years ago

So i decided this little deck to be in modern (Since we mostly play Modern in our FNM-s) and made some minor changes. The deck moved more into burn direction, but the comboes still insanely fun and this is still a cheap deck. I made this out from prizes in FNM-s, since my main deck is a Golgari thing :D So feel feree to try out if you want to playtest a cheap and fun combo deck :) Any suggestions will be approved. :)

Mutavaults

tkioz, 11 years ago

I've got a pair of mutavaults sitting idle and I was wondering if they'd fit here... I'm honestly not sure if I want to dilute my manabase.

DarkNexus6, 11 years ago

I've been playing around with this a lot and I am trying to figure out how to make it faster. It has a low enough CMC and most of the elves can tap for mana, but I feel as if there is a lot more hidden potential in this deck. Any and all recommendations are greatly appreciated. Thanks for checking out the deck!

Ruckover, 11 years ago

Cleared comments, I keep playing with the cards, trying to balance control and creatures. Increasing the number of creatures with control elements seems key.

Derpedout, 11 years ago

Now running 4 Skaab Ruinator in the main deck.

3-0 FNM

TheHirtanator, 11 years ago

Took this deck to a local FNM to see how it would play, my deck played better than I expected it to and ended up 3-0 Match 1 U/W control - Won game 1 in 10 or so turns he wasn't able to pull out a supreme verdict against a buffed up favored hoplite and hero of leina tower. Ethereal armor + Hero of leina tower turned out to be a real strong combo, even at turn 4-5 dumping your excess mana into an already buffed up hero allows you to swing lethal early on. Game 2 went to him he was able to stall out the game with verdicts and sphinx's rev to play an elspeth followed by an Aetherling. Game 3 was quickly won by me on turn 5-6 with hoperful eidolons buffed by ethereal armor's Match 2: Esper Humans, Game 1 was won easily in turn 4-5 as he had no early answers to my early hopeful eidolon/hero of leina tower threats, each buffed by ethereal armor. An unfliching courage dropped on hero of leina tower was too much for him to stop. Game 2 he sideboarded in a lot more spot removal to deal with my threats, ultimate price and doom blade were both used more in game 2 which slowed down my aggression long enough for him to play a blood baron which kept him in the game for a while. A well timed Hunter's prowess cast on an already buffed favored hoplite allowed me to draw 10 cards and keep the onslaught going, eventually winning me the game, Hunter's prowess is really what won me the game here, without it my deck would've fizzled out as I was forced to topdeck Match 3: Jund Monsters: Game 1 was won early again with a combination of favored hoplite and hero of iroas. A hero of iroas on turn 2 allowed me to dump out unflinching courage and an ethereal armor on the following turn to swing for 9 early. This put me ahead and he wasn't able to recover in time and I killed him by turn 6. Game 2 was won by him as he sideboarded in dreadbore's to deal with my creatures and abrupt decay's to actually remove my auras. It was close but it game down his unblocked that killed me.Game 3 was another quick victory as I went first and a turn 2 ethereal armor on a hopeful eidolon put me ahead early and he wasn't able to recover as i followed up with hero of iroas then unflinching courage. Overall my deck played really well, I think that maybe going 4x fleecemane lion in the mainboard would be a good addition but I wouldn't know what to remove to put in it's place as of right now.

MisterMysteryMan, 11 years ago

Did some switches due to trading, and ended up using Diluvian Primordial again after a forceful reminder of how broken it is.

SuperEntity, 11 years ago

I went 2-2 on the night losing 2-1 to RU Counter Burn and Bant Control in both matches. The two wins were 2-0 against UWR Control and 2-1 against Dimir Mill/Control. Erebos, God of the Dead worked well when sided in against control but Agent of the Fates and Xathrid Necromancer did not work well in the mainboard. Have made the following changes after picking up cards from a BNG booster box: -3 Agent of the Fates -2 Xathrid Necromancer -1 Doom Blade +2 Bile Blight +2 Herald of Torment +2 Pain Seer
