Metagame changes

mtgplayer100, 8 years ago

Has changed the deck by mainly cutting some of the burn for better removal against midrange, Death's Shadow and eldrazi, plus cutting Nahiri, the Harbinger, since tapping out on turn 4 with something that dosen't have an imediate effect on the board, is bad.

HoD - BloodWater Entity HYPE

Jojonathan, 8 years ago

So, with Hour of Devastation's release we got a new 2/2 Blue-Red beast : Bloodwater Entity

I'm OVERHYPED by this card. I mean, 2/2 Flyers ( + Prowess ) who can send a dead Miracle on TOP of my library ??

I may switch those with Electrolyze or Mantis, I don't really know yet.

Thanks for reading !

Made some changes to the deck that tweak some toolbox slivers. Sidewinder Sliver was taken out for 2 copies of Syphon Sliver and 2 copies of Spined Sliver. Also fixed mana base adding the 3 Cavern of Souls over the basic mana.

Sideboard Notes Up to Date

Argy, 8 years ago

I have finished all the Sideboard Notes for this deck. They answer the Tier 1 decks in the current meta. Since I think **White Tokens** may be a thing this season, I have also made a Note about how to Board against them. You will also find some notes that deal with popular decks on this site.

First win!

gallenwolf, 8 years ago

Went up against a Talrand, Sky Summoner and I think Lovisa Coldeyesfoil this evening, and barely scrapped a win with only a few hit points left. Davos was bounced upon hitting the battlefield by the Talrand player, and later killed by a hit from Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle , but I still managed to get him out and enchanted with Gift of Immortality alongside Anointed Procession and Cathars' Crusade.

It was a fine line balancing the casting cost of other spells, but managed to get about 6 heavily boosted tokens out, and swung for the win.

I think if I really wanted to optimize this deck, I should remove some of my "fun" black enchantments, but I'm going to make just minor tweaks for the time being.

Hour of Devastation Update?

Daedalus19876, 8 years ago

So...Hour of Devastation doesn't have much to add to this deck, unfortunately. I did find a black-bordered German Wheel of Fortune and a black-bordered Chinese Mana Vault, though!! :)

The only change I'm testing for now is swapping Chaos Warp for Adorned Pouncer - because my creature count is a bit low, and sometimes I have awkward game states with lots of equipment but no creatures. A cheap doublestriker works well with the Swords, and if an opponent wastes a removal spell on it, it returns much stronger.

I'm sad to cut Chaos Warp, and I want to find a slot to stick it back in. I might have to cut a land...we shall see. Leave / Chance may also find a slot in the sideboard, but it's far too reactive in a deck optimized for blazingly fast aggro damage.

Anything hidden gems I'm missing? :) After all, Onward / Victory is my favorite card from Amonkhet, and it was just an uncommon...

N_, 8 years ago

Gave the deck a little update. I didn't change much because it still plays out well. I added Tree of Perdition , Torment of Hailfire and Indulgent Tormentor as he procs sygg's ability with the life loss.

Fraying Sanity

plusmental, 8 years ago

From testing Mind Funeral doesn't hit enough cards consistently, manages about 6-7 on average. Longer runs happen, but not consistently, this is an issue I was aware of with this card.

Due to this I am removing them from the deck and adding back in breaking, in addition to the change that Fraying Sanity brings. Snapcaster Mage is also returning and replacing Manic Scribe as I feel it synergises better with Fraying Sanity

+2 Snapcaster Mage +2 Breaking / Entering +3 Fraying Sanity

-1 Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver -3 Mind Funeral -3 Manic Scribe

You only need 1 counter

Bobguy27, 8 years ago

As fortold only needs 1 counter to make it good here. So you play it on turn 3. Solemnity on 4. Thing in the ice on 5 with lots of things to do with open mana and 1 counter on as fortold. Playing 1 mana spells counts here.

Deck Changes 2: Electric Boogaloo!

Daedalus19876, 8 years ago

Over the prerelease weekend, I opened/traded most of the cards I needed in the deck! The deck continues to perform fantastically, frequently killing the table on T4.

I did make some minor changes, however:

Chandra, Flamecaller, Descent of the Dragons, Subterranean Tremors, and Fateful Showdown are OUT (along with one Island and one Mountain). Dream Halls, Jace's Archivist, Sunder, Whirlpool Drake, Spirebluff Canal, and Homeward Path are all IN!
