TastyBeverage, 9 years ago
1st Round Bye 2nd Round Mono Red Aggro 0 -2 - I got mana screwed here and managed to draw outpost sieges every turn, each game so I didn't last long. Wasn't really a game. 3rd Round Mono Red Aggro 2 - 0 - Curved out nicely with Sorin and Gideon each game. Having a second Gideon and moving my mana base around has helped tremendously. 4th Round Abzan Lifegain/Allies - Was pretty much an Abzan deck with Rhino and Anafenza but tossed in kalistra healer and stuff like that. 1st game I curved out, 2nd game I kept 2 lands with almost all 2-3 cmc cards and didn't see a land for 4-5 turns, 3rd game we both went down to 5 and I managed to kill him with 10 tokens and a Dragons Outpost Siege.

Did some light play testing, for now I like having the one mainboard Abbot of Keral Keep enough to drop to two Scavenging Ooze's, and enough that I'm gonna do the official edit on this page. So here it is: -1 Scavenging Ooze, +1 Abbot of Keral Keep main. This is subject to change based on personal experience, recommendations, or new printings.

More Draws, Recursion and Solutions
wdacgrs, 9 years ago
The initial build runs out of card so quickly, so I added some more ways to draw cards. Also it is not very good at handling problems, so I added some solution to due with them.
mcmetcalfe, 9 years ago
Got rid of Myr Superion as he's more of a pain to cast than I thought and added 3 Arcbound Crusher in his place. With tokens constantly coming into play, I think his abilities are more worth it and he gets out of control real quick.
First Place at FNM again last night!!!
AngelOfDivinity, 9 years ago
Yep! Once again went first place! I'm really happy with this deck, almost scared of OGW now...... But, time to adapt! I'm going to spend the next few days adapting to OGW.... I'd love to hear suggestions!
Update 1: Red Mana Fixing
LtMattmoo, 9 years ago
-4 Mountain, -2 Swamp, -4 Rakdos Signet, +4 Dragonskull Summit, +2 Sulfurous Springs, +4 Fire Diamond
With the mana abilities of the dragons and the cost of Geosurge needing my mana base to be made up of as much mana as possible, mana sources which produced only mana were slowing the deck down. I have removed all 6 such sources and added 6 dual land in their stead.

Looking to add the new Oath cards that were announced:
Really want to put Gideon champion of justice in so I can use him as a win con and have a Gideon representing for vorthos flavor.
Unsure what to remove
Deck List Revisions
arimathea, 9 years ago
Wow, I got some really interesting suggestions.
Dorotheus- I thought the idea with Bruna, Light of Alabaster in particular was really interesting, but wouldn't really work with Evershrike very well as it would require its own deck list. The reason for this is, for Bruna to work with Evershrike I'd need to first reanimate Bruna from my graveyard while Evershrike is already there, then when Bruna dies Rancor and Spirit Loop bounce back to my hand and I can reuse them on Evershrike. The problem is, if I'm doing that I may as well switch out Evershrike for Eldrazi Conscription and just win with Bruna. I actually in response to your idea did try out a fairly competitive deck list that would dredge about half my deck, and then on turn 4 use Unburial Rites to reanimate Bruna attached to multiple Eldrazi Conscriptions and a haste aura. Evershrike doesn't work well in that deck though.
Barbarian_Sun_Pope: I do like your aura suggestions. Spirit Loop has been in several versions of my deck, but in this was too far outside my color wheel; I changed that for this update. However, I elected to not go with the Totem Armor mechanic because if Evershrike gets destroyed I usually just bounce Rancor back to my hand and resummon Evershrike from the graveyard next turn. What I'm worried about is Path to Exile and similar spells that remove Evershrike permanently, making Aspect of the Mongoose my best aura for this situation. The idea of using walls for cards and mana I had not thought of; I'll try a version of it, but it would require such a different deck list it'll take some work.
Anyway, this deck list essentially focuses really hard on getting Evershrike out and can usually do it by turn 4, turn 3 if I'm lucky; I took out the Unearth creatures and some other stuff, and changed my mana base to include Vivid lands to broaden the range of auras I can use. The problem is, a turn 4 Evershrike while big is usually not enough to win a game I've done nothing else in. I've mastered consistency, now I need potency. Suggestions are still appreciated! Thanks everyone!
Friday Night Magic 4-1!!
avengedwiiman, 9 years ago
Largest FNM i have ever been to, there were 24+ people playing! Game 1: White Weenies! (WIN) Round 1: He played a whole lot of one drops and silkwraped my only mantis rider, the weenies took this round. Round 2: sided in 8 cards against him, stalled him out with all of the extra removal i put in, eventually got Ojutai out and won. Round 3: longer game, stalled him out early but he had a decent amount of removal (pacifism and stasis snare) eventually got an ojutai and mantis rider to stick, backed them up with counterspells and won. Game 2: Mardu agro (WIN) Round 1: Turn 3 and 4 mantis rider, he played painful truth, it was the only card i seen come out.. Round 2: opponent sided in rending volley. He quickly got rid of my Ojutai, his monastery mentor took the game, Round 3: This was probably the best game of magic i have ever personally played. ended up going to turns, ended up casting all 3 dig through times throughout the game, won the game by giving my opponent the opportunity to kill me, he had a mentor out and a token, i had 3 health. I swung the seeker and the mantis rider, he blocked neither of them, jeskai charm won the game. Game 3: Bant something or another? (WIN) Round 1: He really did not do much, i seen soulfire grandmaster and heir to the wilds, thunderbreak regends took the game. Round 2: I did not sideboard, he played origins nissa and jace, they never flipped. Ojutai and mantis rider took the win. Game 4: Mardu Tokens (LOSE) Round 1: Turn 3 and 4 mantis riders took the game. Round 2: secure the wastes into Gideon ult..not cool man Round 3: same combo as before, dispelled the 1 secure the waste but the 2nd one got me. Game 5: Black Green sac w/ allies (WIN) Round 1: took a risky hand with just a valorous stance, Jeskai charm and draconic roar. Killed off a Zulaport Cutthroat with road, he played a hangerback walker, and then Nantuko husk. I drew into all 3 digs. He eventually sacd the 5/5 hangerback and all the tokens as well as 2 other creatures..I used Jeskai charm and put the husk on top of his library (the best feeling ever). Drew into mantis and won the game from there. Round 2: Ojutai and regent took the game easily. Ended the night 4-1!

Added: Sunbeam Spellbomb, Leonin Den-Guard, and Slagwurm Armor for extra toughess on my blockers, some lifegain or card draw, and a decent soldier to add to the ranks.
Removed: Drifting Meadow, No-Dachi, Valor in Akros as none of these really ever got played effectively
Tweaks to the list
Ayvee, 9 years ago
Changed 2x Spell Snare to 1x Spell Snare and 1x Spell Pierce as a hedge against Liliana decks.
Removed 1x Dispel and 1x Negate from sideboard to add 1x Crumble to Dust for Tron and Infect and 1x Ancient Grudge as a concession to Aether Vial decks.
Added Enter the Infinite to the maybeboard to consider for testing.
