Mana Issues
notinuse, 13 years ago
Having some issues with the balance of mana after adding Rakish Heir and Chandra, the Firebrand. The 2B spells become a little more difficult when I want to draw into red mana only for turns 1-3. Still trying to decide between running 4 Bloodline Keeper Flip or splitting 2/2 with Olivia Voldaren.

Deck Result

First place (5-0) at local tournament at a shop called Dragon's Refuge(FNM). G1 - R/B Vampires 2-0 G2 - Tempered Steel 2-0 G3 - Wolfrun Ramp 2-1 G4 - G/B Morbid 2-0 G5 - Wolfrun Ramp 2-0 Only real trouble was against wolfrun, but the deck was able to race it fast enough to make up the difference. For all the decks this was just too fast, accorder paladin and mirrodin crusader laying down the beats while getting the way cleared by rings and fiend hunters.
Lots of changes

Erstes FNM - Impressionen und erstes Changelog

Nach den Spielen am Freitagabend ist eines schonmal klar: Das Deck braucht deutlich mehr Mana, als bisher angenommen. Da es aber enorm hungrig auf farbiges Mana ist, nicht auf Farbloses, gestaltet sich das Hinzufügen von mehr Ramp als schwierig. Glücklicherweise eignet sich das Deck sowohl für Explorer's Scope als auch für Walking Atlas, und auch der Gilded Lotus ist eine recht offensichtliche, wenn auch in den Manakosten etwas teure Addition. Star Compass ist hier der Wackelkandidat und momentan eher drin, um sicher mehr farbiges Mana zu haben, wird aber möglicherweise auch gecuttet für nützlichere Karten.
Da nun einerseits mit Gilded Lotus noch ein Artefakt im Deck ist, welches gern enttappt wird, und sich andererseits Fatestitcher als einer der versteckten All-Stars herausgestellt hat ist Aphetto Alchemist eine weitere offensichtliche Addition zum Deck. Die Eldrazi sind insgesamt zu klobig und das Deck kann sie oftmals nicht bezahlen, daher fliegen sie zunächst mal um Platz für ein funktionierendes Grundgerüst und die neuen Rampkarten zu schaffen.
Der Carddraw war überraschend hoch in Madame Nin, daher ist eine weitere offensichtliche Addition der Jushi Apprentice Flip, mit dem es wohl durchaus möglich wird, Gegner decktot zu machen, sobald ich einmal 'nen Batzen von Karten in der Hand halte. Gerade weil der Carddraw so exorbitant hoch ist halte ich den Kreisel für eine schlechte Idee (was interessieren mich die obersten 3 Karten, ich ziehe sowieso gleich alle auf einmal) und werde statt dessen mal dem guten Scroll Rack 'ne Chance geben, da das natürlich um einiges tiefer gräbt.
Out: Psychic Possession, Magosi, the Waterveil, Chain Reaction, Kozilek, Butcher of Truth, Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre, Greater Gargadon, Aggravated Assault, Web of Inertia
In: Scroll Rack, Aphetto Alchemist, Gilded Lotus, Star Compass, Explorer's Scope, Walking Atlas, Jushi Apprentice

ideas on improving would be appreciated :) ty

I've removed the black and white splash and opted for a subtler splash of black with [drowned catacomb] for flashbacks. [Dream twist]s have turned out to be the perfect addition, allowing me to drop a turn 2 [boneyard wurm], get an early mill, and have something useful in my graveyard. [mirror-mad phantasm]s have proved important for getting massive mills to charge big, late game swings. I've also pretty much worked out my sideboard. The [wreath of geists]'s are basically there as a filler. They can be useful in some situations, so they may stay there but they may be replaced.
Neurok Commando

I decided to get rid of the Scrapdiver Serpent in favour of a Neurok Commando because it just wasn't coming out. Ever.

It performed quite well at FNM winning 2/4 games, which is pretty good to say it's still being worked on.

This is against my friends Red/Green deck, his deck is basicly direct dmg with goblins and stuff, very annoying..

U_R_g backCtrl. The deck draws cards, fills the cemetery to win with his bombs.
update 1
reverand_dave, 13 years ago
After some playtesting I've decided that I really like the no maximum hand size of the Anvil of Bogardan and didn't need the card draw so much so I added 2 Spellbooks instead. I think I'll work in a Jace's Erasure also but I don't think its necessary.

I am open for feedback. The main problem I have been experiencing with this deck is lack of mana. Possibly due to poor shuffling.
jdrab, 13 years ago
Concept really is to mill with Stalker but with a one sided or two means of winning is not enough i added inkmoth nexus to hasten the game, equiped with trepanation blade then you can with within 3-5 turns if your lucky with the milling from the blade
Mill em up
