Pricey

Faltron533, 11 years ago

Took out Obzedat, Ghost Council cause he's a bit pricey for me.

Took this to FNM two weeks ago. Went 2-2, beat All-color Hondens (with surprise Realm Razer) and Boros aggro. Barely lost to Tron and Junk Midrange.

Wirewood Channeler

Zarigua, 11 years ago

Added Wirewood Channeler for a third possible infinite mana combo. Decks running a little faster on average now, usually turn 5-7 I have the combo pulled off, 4 for is the soonest I've seen it happen.

Still looking for ways to speed it up further and looking for a way to use the infinite mana to draw endless cards. I've run into a few times where I have the combo off by turn four but no wait to use it to deal damage.

Added more things with W in their mana cost, like Hopeful Eidolon which doubles as an Enchantment and as a 1-drop, replacing Gladecover Scout. Detention Spheres were included for some removal.

Play Test Approved!

Oomshakalakabob, 11 years ago

During the Commander league I am in, I played this deck with various results. The first game ran as I thought it would with a high pace ramp but I fell a little short when I couldn't draw one of my many tutors in the deck. Still won though having plenty of chump blockers and being able to eventually get out one of the most fun win conditions I have ever put together(Purphuros+Avenger of Zendikar+Doubling Season). Obviously that is not the only win con but my favorite so far. The Second game in a different pod went the opposite though. I got no ramp but did draw mana being able to play one thing at a time. I presented no threat to the board but I had a healthly advantage to blocking by getting academy rector and solemn simulacrum and maze of ith making my 3 opponents not want to attack. I ended up winning with austere command and mimic vating my opponents craterhoof behemoth. I'm still trying to figure out if I should add more tutors of if I need to add more ramp but so far I am very happy with my little token deck. And if you are wondering, there are no infinite combos on purpose. I like to win but don't care for infinite combos, plus they give you negative points in my league for infinite anyways so why change an already fun idea by loading it with broken combos. Anywho, tell me what you think

Changed up the sideboard & added Hand Disruption..

Metroid_Hybrid, 11 years ago

Nothing too fancy in the mainboard.. -2Negate, -1Plague Myr < +3Inquisition of Kozilek for some general 1-drop hand disruption..

On the other hand, I switched up my sideboard quite a bit; -1Defense Grid, -1Surgical Extraction, -1Duress, -1Grafdigger's Cage, -2Revoke Existence < +2Noxious Revival, +1Negate, +1Elixir of Immortality, +1Rest in Peace, +1Pithing Needle..

I figured that having a boarder toolset to pick from would help me (post-board) match up better against a wider range of archetypes..

I'm looking forward to testing out the changes this weekend..

Thanks for the suggestions. Ive made some changes in line with what was recommended, but ive kept 2 volcanic geysers just to burn them in the face for lethal damage if it gets to late game. Thanks again and any more ideas are welcome :-)

Standard Event

ckdude, 11 years ago

Played in another Standard event today. Here's how it went:

Round 1 vs Jund Midrange: 2 - 0

Played vs this random Jund deck that seemed very unfocused. It had cards like Legion Loyalist, Ghor-Clan Rampager, Savageborn Hydra, and Stormbreath Dragon. I beat it VERY easily 2 - 0 after killing all the things and slapping down an AEtherling. It was relatively unexciting so I'll spare you the details.

Round 2 vs Red Deck Wins: 2 - 0

I was really nervous about this matchup as I have not yet played it and I know it is very difficult for Esper a lot of the time. I lost the dice roll too so that didn't help. He started a hand with no one drop.... whew.... I dropped down to around 5 or 6 life before i resolved a Sphinx's Revelation to secure the victory and the cards I needed to wipe him out. The game ended up going REALLY long as I had to search through 70% of my deck to find my AEtherling/Elspeth, Sun's Champion. He was relatively new to magic and he also didn't scoop very fast. 2nd game I sided in my two Ashiok, Nightmare Weavers and two Soldier of the Pantheon as he was playing Burning-Tree Emissary and Rakdos Cackler. I ended up playing both of them and survived lethal by 1 damage because of their life gain off of 3 Burning-Tree Emissarys. This game I found my AEtherling much faster and sealed the deal. I was definitely glad to be done with Red Deck Wins!........ or was I

Round 3 vs Red Deck Wins... again: 2 - 0

Played another RDW player... just my luck. I started a two land hand with Blood Baron of Vizkopa, Elspeth, Sun's Champion, and Sphinx's Revelation. I had 2 earlyish control cards to hold me over. Managed to play 5 lands in a row with the help of scry lands. Dropped Blood Baron of Vizkopa on turn 5 or 6 which resulted in me not dying for long enough to get Elspeth, Sun's Champion out and ulty her. 2nd game I only sided in my Ashiok, Nightmare Weavers as he did not run Burning-Tree Emissary.... I don't know why not. He started a 1 land hand with two 1 drops. I killed one of them and played Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver. He focused it for 3 turns after i milled 5 lands (hue) and finally killed it...... then i played Blood Baron of Vizkopa and he scooped. Serves you right Mr. Red deck wins.

4th Round vs Mono Black Devotion: 2 - 0

Once again I was horrified as I have not played this matchup yet and I know it is my worst matchup ever. The first game was VERY long and really interesting. He had a Whip of Erebos out and I had played a turn 5 Blood Baron of Vizkopa. He was not running Pack Rat. He was using Disciple of Phenax and Thoughtseize though for tons of hand disruption. We both dropped to sub-6 life atleast 7 times in the match, especially after I hit the board with AEtherling. I managed to use two Detention Spheres to hit 3 Underworld Connections, but he had already drawn roughly 20 cards from them. I also Syncopate'd a Gray Merchant of Asphodel which was huge. I ended up having to use Supreme Verdict to keep his devotion down early even though I was only hitting single Lifebane Zombies with them. I ended up outlasting him and finishing him with AEtherling/Blood Baron of Vizkopa after he made me sacrifice my first Blood Baron of Vizkopa. 2nd Game I played another early Blood Baron of Vizkopa. He got stuck at 4 mana but had an Underworld Connections out to give him extra cards. He continued to out card advantage me but he only had 4 mana. He had 2 Gray Merchant of Asphodels in his hand. I was just top decking at this point while beating him down with Blood Baron of Vizkopa. I top decked a Dissolve the turn he drew his 5th land. He knew it too but he was at 4 life and had to go for it. I Dissolve'd it to seal the deal and the 4 - 0!

Araganor, 11 years ago

I decided to clean up the comments, a lot of them were for an outdated version of the deck. I'm still taking suggestions for improvements to the deck!
