1-2 Heartless RB

brizzle, 13 years ago

Against a heartless summoning R/B deck I faired well. Controlling the beat stick was paramount. Early slagstroms knocked out the mana producing myr's. Won game one with Gideon, game two started with crap. Game three muliganed to five and we ended with 2 and 0 life. Very close, but with the orginal starting hand in game 3 I wouldve won easily if i knew what the first 2 draws were. The decks control is out of this world. I always find myself with just enough fiend hunters/ bonds of faith/ slagstorms to have the board. Quite happy so far with the deck design. On a side note played the self mull again and a 14 spider spawn turned my gideon avenger into a giant beat stick.

Deck Updates

Solater, 13 years ago

I've Updade some cards mainly Olivia Voldaren, Bloodlord of Vaasgoth, And Curse of the Pierced Heart. I also Removed the Blasphemous Acts in the main and side board. They didn't fit in the pump deck theme. I' also changed the amounts of some cards. Take a look and See what you think.

Support Swap, Mana Base

Steimtime, 13 years ago

Swapped out Forbidden Alchemy with Blue Sun's Zenith. Also, swapped another Island out with another Drowned Catacomb to help with Stensia Bloodhall.

Support Swap

Steimtime, 13 years ago

Swapped Stoic Rebuttal with Dissipate. Finally got my hands on another one.

Support Swap

Steimtime, 13 years ago

Swapped out 1x Stoic Rebuttal for a fourth Incinerate. Still have the ability to counter 7 spells.

Sideboard, Updated

IAmKingTony, 13 years ago

Made a sideboard!

Added in Rally the Peasants and a few Clifftop Retreats for flashback. Moved Phyrexian Rebirth to the sideboard for another White Sun's Zenith.

Kinda want another Mentor of the Meek in here, not sure how to fit him though.

Sideboard Added

djgunn, 13 years ago

The theory with my sideboard is basically make a huge change out between game 1 and game 2 in the match up.

I take out 2x Blightsteel Colossus, 4x Wing Splicer, 4x Shape Anew, 4x Onyx Mage and replace with my sideboard.

...with a little help...

Whipflare

Ritz_PBoD, 13 years ago

I just remembered that Whipflare exists... I wonder what thoughts you all had on that card.

mirabis, 13 years ago

@ the moment there are 4 cards too much in this deck. I cannot really decide which ones to kick out.
EDH 0 / 1
Lord of Tresserhorn feature for Zombie EDH

More Changes

djgunn, 13 years ago

Deck is finally together after some card purchasing today. I made one last change. -3x Delver of Secrets  Flip to add in 3x Snapcaster Mage. Deck seems pretty fluid so far. Enough counter and control magic to really tempo out the game if I need to.

(Also, reset discussion to clear up the all posts. It's new. So I'm trying it.)

UP1

JazzCrimes, 13 years ago

I played this against really_h1gh last week. I routinely cast Pathrazer of Ulamog on turn four. And, maybe since my namesake feels my connection to it, Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre made regular appearances. Pathrazer on turn 4. I'm a fan.

Necrosis, 13 years ago

I did not make this deck, Craig Wescoe did at Worlds 2011. Enjoy the decklist!

Creature Line-Up

Steimtime, 13 years ago

Added another Moltensteel Dragon for a Phantasmal Dragon, even though I love the card so much! The picture is just so sick. Went 2-1 tonight at TNM; needed more answers to G/W Gavony Tokens.

SexyNoodle90, 13 years ago

Added Adaptive Automatons (2) and 2 Sorins, dropped Sangromancers. Took 2nd in tonight's tourny. 5 wins 3 losses

A little tweaking

oilandgasdad, 13 years ago

Quite a few little tweaks here, pushed the curve a bit more, added a land, etc. Wish I had the Moorland Haunts/Geists and U/W lands to turn into Haunted Humans...
MDN 0 / 0
Gideon's Lawkeeper feature for WW-Honor

vmtoivon, 13 years ago

Going to be -1 eternal witness, +1 marsh casualties. Also, I have to get more mitotic slimes AND wickerbough elders :) (for sideboarding either ones) I'll replace Ashnod's Altar with Phyrexian Altar (deck preferably needs colored mana).
LEG 0 / 0
Forest feature for Death Elves

Mega Update 1!

Carn13, 13 years ago

I've been trading and buying, and I got some fun stuff for the great robotic overlord:

+1 Arcanis the Omnipotent

+1 Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir

+1 Mindslaver

+1 Lux Cannon

-1 Lay Bare

-1 Mulldrifter

-1 Disperse

-1 Cumber Stone

TheFanciestBard, 13 years ago

Side boarding the O-Rings in favor of 4 overruns. Took out some of the higher drops and focused the deck mostly on big plays with Hero. Bumped up the land count as I was getting mana starved far more then I'd like to. Any other ideas are welcomed! It seems the deck starts lacking after turn 6 when the titans/wurmcoils are able to be dropped, need some late game pushes to put in here just in case.

First Games

brizzle, 13 years ago

Vs G/U Self Mill (splinter/boneyard) 3-0 Slagstormed the weenies, locked down the beat sticks, and gideon'ed the spider spawns in to a suicidal charge. Multiple Manabarbs sealed the deal and brought the deck to a grinding halt. Gnaw to the bone provided an extra turn or two to lament over how to spend mana and slit their own throat. Sun Titan came in spades bringing back own creatures lost in slagstorms.

Changes

djgunn, 13 years ago

Pulled out the Grand Architect, because they weren't really helping with the over all strategy of the deck, and added in two more Black Sun's Zenith and two Liliana of the Veil.
