Various tweeks - Including Burning Tree

Trying Courser of Kruphix + Garruk's Horde variation.

Liking the Burning-Tree Emissary for mana fixing, creature count, devotion, and body (obvious to me now - I'm a slow learner).

Playtesting

ShatteredUterus, 11 years ago

Playtesting on Untap.in quickly became apparent that Mistcutter Hydra and Hexproof abilities wrecked my day. Considered Archetype of Endurance but decided to go with adding Glaring Spotlight in the sideboard instead. Also added Lightning Volley so I can ping Mistcutter with something that is not blue. Control matchup is also really diffcult. I really just have to hope I draw a Mistcutter and can Counterflux a Sphinx's Revelation.

Bitterblossom and Deck Overhaul

Dredg, 11 years ago

Due to Bitterblossom becoming unbanned, I've remade the deck with a more purist approach to The Gate. With it, the deck takes up the mantle of it's predecessor.

Thinking about adding Obzedat, Ghost Council, or some kind of green bombs. Whatcha guys think could leave. Also should I go the mana ramp side and add elfish mystic

GETxHIPFIREDx, 11 years ago

Looking for some kind of drop for 3-5. Creature with some kind of cool kicker

Taking some advice

Korombos, 11 years ago

Okay, I swapped out Fall of the Hammer and swapped in Flesh / Blood , I also got my hands on some Arbor Colossus es and Boon Satyr s and sideboarded my Mistcutter Hydra s. I'll be saving up for some more Domri Rade s, and maybe they'll come down in price a bit, too.

5K Diamond Event

TappinCloudfin, 11 years ago

Okay...So I brought this to the TCG Diamond (292 people) event and had a wonderful start. First Round: Rakdos Midrange....First game: 10 gates fairly easy / Second game: Crackling Perimeter. Second Round: G/W Aggro....First game: 10 gates / Second game: I met Miscutter hydra and no board wipe lol. / Third game: Took a bit to stabilize but got him with the Crackling Perimeter. Third Round: U/W Control....First game 10 gates / Second game: He ult'd Elspeth and hit a top deck Elspeth just after that....(That was not fun) / Third Game: 8 gates with Maze in play and the 9th in my hand and he pulled a top deck sphinx to hit for 8 and get Pithing Needle. (Lame) First time I have lost to control with this deck. Round 4 and 5: I played against Ashen Rider (Who knew that was a card?) Double loss although I did win both the first games and get to 9 and 7 gates in 2 of the games. Round 6: MONO RED...Won game one by letting him over extend and wiping the board and fogging to the win...Game 2 and 3...Burning Earth.....FAIL! Drop! Even though I met some of the worst match ups I could imagine the deck still functioned very well. I made some last minute changes due to further testing and loved them. I would encourage anyone to try this deck and see what you can do with it. It is a boss in the control match up as you dont play anything they can counter. I will make the needed changes to the board. Feel free to continue commenting. I am going to continue playing this bad boy!

-Sylvan Primordial; + Perplexing Chimera.

Jamesborg99, 11 years ago

Added and removed a few cards that I didn't feel worked with the deck well.

Lands removed:

1x Swamp 1x Island 1x Vivid Crag 1x Vivid Creek 1x Vivid Marsh 1x Graven Cairns

Lands added:

1x Maze of Ith 1x Jund Panorama 1x Esper Panorama 1x Temple of Malice 1x Rocky Tar Pit 1x Bad River

Reasoning:

The idea here was to create more consistent draws via fetch lands and the new Temple. Maze of Ith added as a repeatable fog effect.

Spells Removed:

1x Rakdos Charm 1x Vision Skeins 1x Library of Leng 1x Bident of Thassa 1x Grave Titan 1x Kederekt Parasite

Spells Added:

1x Darkness 1x Incendiary Command 1x Fate Unraveler 1x Ivory Tower 1x Ebony Owl Netsuke 1x Black Vise

Reasoning:

Kederekt Parasite simply didn't have many red permanents to feed off of. Grave Titan didn't fit in with the strategy(it doesn't really help with stalling the board or forcing my enemies to draw or remove threats, etc). Similarly, I don't have many creatures for Bident of Thassa to proc and the activated ability didn't help much with the predicted diplomacy effect. I made the other three cuts because I felt they weren't the strongest fit for the strategy.

Darkness is a fog(obviously decent), Fate Unraveler is just a better card than Kederekt Parasite, Incendiary Command had more range of effects than Rakdos Charm, and the 3 new artifacts all fit in with the general theme(and as a silly bonus, adds Metalcraft for Molten Psyche!)
