Anyway, Post away.

Woops

Blargenspargle, 13 years ago

Changed forked lightning to forked bolt, like it was supposed to be.

PyroNeuro, 13 years ago

Finally caved and added some bloodline keepers in place of the Marauders, seems to be working better so far.

Massive Overhaul

TinyTera, 13 years ago

Ok changed up a bunch of stuff like the flow a lot better now but still I wanna get my crusader in here. not sure how though

Tinkering

TinyTera, 13 years ago

Going through rares and checking my lists over and over seeing what can be moved around.

Tcharmeleon, 13 years ago

Removed the Cancels and Negates, added Goblin Gaveleer to add a bit more kick to the deck.

three cards I'm not sold on

yourmomlies, 13 years ago

Goblin Warrens: I dropped mana echoes, dropping mana echoes pretty much means this card becomes superfluous combo and win-more. It's one thing to border on infinite goblins as a back-up plan, and I still like it for that. But, probably out for now for Shivan Harvest.

Hoarding Dragon: just not sold on it. I'm too afraid it's going to be removed from the game to trust it with much unless I can kill it. I'm short on sac outlets. Not sure if it's better than Charmbreaker Devils, but I'm short on instant/sorceries too.

Starstorm: meh. Don't get me wrong, it's great, but by the time I have the mana to play this I can/could have done something else. I feel similar about Comet Storm (but don't intend to drop it) now that I'm not running mana echoes and half-shooting for near infinite mana.

Deck Changes

SupremeAlliesCommander, 13 years ago

I added one more land and dropped Joraga Warcaller from the list. When given the choice between dumping mana into the warcaller, or pumping up Ezuri, Renegade Leaderfoil, it was always more effective to with Ezuri. I may add a third Ezuri or bring back Tribal Forcemage, but I'm currently testing a 4th Fyndhorn Elves to see if it makes a difference in drawing good starting hands.

alienomega, 13 years ago

Added Rites of Flourishing as fauhncy brilliantly suggested. That also meant trimming a few lost in the woods and a light, but oh well, those were choking things anyway.

-1 Massacre Wurmfoil +1 Mikaeus, the Unhallowed there are plenty of good humans in standard that I'd love to destroy whenever they hit me, the +1/+1 ability gives everything (except manic vandal) a boost, which can either offset the -1/-1 effects of heartless summoning, OR it can make my wurmcoils and titan's just a little bit bigger than my opponent's Oh and creatures like Wurmcoil Engine, Inferno Titan, and Skinrender are kind of insane when they have undying

-1x swamp, -1x Heartless Summoning, -1x Skinrender +3x Gitaxian Probe Knowing what's coming is priceless in magic and is worth 2 life to any control deck. Gitaxian probe lets me see what I'm killing, before I have to kill it and it is improving my card odds. Even taking out a land, 25/60=.417 24/57=.421, my land percentage is essentially unchanged. Skinrender and heartless summoning are cards I want often, but are pretty bad if you have doubles. Skinrender is kinda like a doom blade, in that it is idle until it can target something (and vs control decks that have like 5 creatures, he is kind of a waste of space). Heartless Summoning, while insanely good in this deck, isn't a card you want more than one of in your hand and this deck is still very, very effective without heartless summoning on the bored so I have no problems taking 1 out.

Changed some sideboard cards after a little playtesting. -2 Withered Wretch, +2 Yixlid Jailer / -2 Nevinyrral's Disk, +2 Engineered Plague / -3 Spinning Darkness, +3 Dystopia Dystopia is better than Nevinyrral's Disk for this deck trying to combat G/W Maverick. Diversifying my graveyard hate will help depending on if I'm facing off against Dredge or Reanimator. Engineered Plague is going to help more against Goblins than the incidental lifegain from Spinning Darkness, and Zoo doesn't really have a presence in my local meta.

Removed Black

Saion, 13 years ago

Took the bulk of the black out. Mana seems to be a serious issue for the deck, something I'm glad I waited to thoroughly test before I put any money into the deck(My collection is pretty small, and I'm pretty broke.)

Anyway, I removed most of the black I had in before, especially Geralf's Messenger, which was screwing with the mana curve worse than anything else.

A little black has been left in, simply because it's still good for the deck in several aspects. Currently on the fence between Black Sun's Zenith or spot removal, or maybe a red/green spell. The same goes for Tragic Slip, which is for spot removal of extraordinary ability when combined with Birthing Pod or combat in general.

Any suggestions at all will be appreciated, but I fully expect respect in the comments to myself and others. This isn't a forum for elitist to extend their e-peen.

ikotz94, 13 years ago

I'm completely surprised by this decks resilience against things like board clearing (proxied up a version and played a few matches) the huntmaster + wolfbitten captive will be by far the 2 best flip cards in standard and provide so much advantage.

reverand_dave, 13 years ago

Another update. Added a Grimgrin and a Mikaeus along with a few diregraf captains

Sideboard

Sigslaughter, 13 years ago

PS, is anyone can recomend cards for a sideboard it would be much appreaciated.

Noloic, 13 years ago

Thought Reflection out : Arcanis the Omnipotent in. I'm considering about adding Mana Web to mainboard,just like Strip Mine,Wurmcoil Engine and Eternal Dominion. Maybe i'll replace Beacon of Tomorrows with something stronger too.

Diregraf Captain -> Mike Markov Warlord -> Chris Stensia Bloodhall -> Chris Dawntreader Elk -> Andrew Tracker's Instincts -> Andrew Hunger of the Howlpack -> Andrew Gather the Townsfolk -> Eric Lingering Souls -> Eric

CristophTheInsulted, 13 years ago

I wound up doing as planned and taking out the Royal Assassins for Stonehorn Dignitary, because I can't stop losing to aggro. Any other suggestions for cards that can help shut down aggro decks are appreciated. I also dropped the Isolated Chapels for Swamps, because I never had black mana sources when I needed them. Obviously, this lets me search those out with Evolving Wilds. I'm also considering dropping in a tutor, probably Increasing Ambition, if I can find space for it.
