FNM 6/20/2014

armaGEDDY, 11 years ago

2/1 with the deck. My buddy piloted it for me (I had prior engagements and I couldn't participate). 2/0 in the first two matches, but fell 1/2 against Devotion to B/G thanks to clever manipulation of Desecration Demon and Devour Flesh managing to keep him alive through the onslaught. Immediate answers to Eidolon of the Great Revel also put a bit of pressure to keep the aggro around. He admitted to modifying his deck specifically to challenge mine after playtesting against me several times throughout the week.

Also scooping comments.

Chimera was a temp stand-in while I tried to replace Sylvan Primordial, so I replaced him with the ever-valuable Momir Vig. I also updated the mana base and tutoring ability of the deck.

Haemogoblin, 11 years ago

Sideboard adjusted for matchup variance.

Added Description!

slovakattack, 11 years ago

Added a bunch of description to the deck- basically, my reasoning behind every individual card. I hope it helps!

Beacon

MajorFalure, 11 years ago

Reworked down to only one Beacon, in testing it was found to be expensive, but it was kept in as a one of so that we can loop into infinite turns and prevent ourselves from taking turns into self decking.

New manabase

MajorFalure, 11 years ago

With the removal of green I felt I could overhaul the manabase, eliminating the third color allows for the inplant of urza's lands, and with them the obvious emrakul.

Removing Green

MajorFalure, 11 years ago

Removing the Garruks in favor of going two colors, this lowers the overall money cost of the deck. They have been replaced with alternative ramp sources

Extensive changes & upgrades..

Metroid_Hybrid, 11 years ago

This deck has gone through a variety of general adjustments & upgrades since my last SNM tournament update back in March; and so here I've condensed the last several decklist changes into one update..

Mainboard..

Out..

-4Geralf's Messenger, -2Gatekeeper of Malakir, -2Wrench Mind, -3Sign in Blood, -2Go for the Throat, -1Dismember, -3Swamp..

In..

+3Thoughtseize, +4Nyxathid, +1Liliana of the Veil, +1Hero's Downfall, +2Shadow of Doubt, +2Victim of Night, +1Bile Blight, +1Mimic Vat, +2Spawning Pool..

Sideboard..

Out..

-1Duress, -2Ratchet Bomb, -1Sadistic Sacrament, -2Shadow of Doubt, -1Whip of Erebos

In..

+2Mutilate,+1Pithing Needle, +1Rain of Tears, +1Surgical Extraction, +1Syphon Life, +1Tormod's Crypt..

Made investments in completing my playset of Thoughtseize & adding a Liliana of the Veil, and I completely removed Geralf's Messenger in favor of Nyxathid as being my (3)-cost heavy beatstick; I also changed the sideboard to include a pair of sweepers for fast aggro hate, while (hopefully..) improve my post-board position against various forms of Combo & Control. I also finally mainboarded Shadow of Doubt (over Sign in Blood) for game-1 advantage over decks running fetch-lands, Birthing Pod, and/or virtually any other kind of deck that relys on tutors;

herbanald, 11 years ago

took out pontiff of blight for phyrexian gargantua. I'd rather have the etb effect. I want to find a spot for phyrexian reclamation now. this deck needs some more graveyard digging. Not sure about serene master either. I just like that he can slow down someone with a faster start.

Info

Top_Decker, 11 years ago

Thanks for all of the suggestions guys. I can feel this deck is really coming together. I don't have any Daxos of Meletis yet, but when I do I will replace Arbiter of the Ideal and a few one ofs for him. Also, I only have one Dissolve, but I am trying to replace all of my Cancels. Thanks for the feedback. -Top_Decker

-2 Mindrot -3 Grave Pact + 2 Underworld Connections + 3 Bloodghast

Card Swap

Progdor, 11 years ago

I swapped out the Scourge of Skola Vale and added Ultimate Price for removal into the mainboard. Eventually I will need at least two more Deathrite Shaman as well as some better dual lands to make my deck really solid.

Also contemplating some mana dorks like Sylvan Caryatid or even maybe Elvish Mystic. Its hard to say. This deck loses horribly to control decks which is also a problem, but it goes without saying that control decks like to exile stuff and that is bad news bears for dredge.

Tweaks

gnarwhal531, 11 years ago

Made changes based on everyone's suggestions. We'll see how it does tonight!

Updated the deck a tad..

Schmuckey, 11 years ago

Been running into problems with b/w control, having a finisher not to be blocked by a chump blocker, not get stuck with missing a black land, and running out of cards at hand. My friend and I tried to solve all of the problems as best as we could of. We took out Nemesis of Mortals he is a beast in this deck, but other creatures can be used as a more vital finishing card. Aka going over the top with flying without having to rely on a spell. Excited to see how it turns out tonight! Feedback would be great!! :)

Three new cards!

Ssssnakebite, 11 years ago

Thornbite Staff is now real! Found the space for it in the deck in a way that it doesn't affect it's balance in any negative way! Thanks to GeminiSpartanX for the suggestion!

Besides, Wooded Bastion is now inside the deck as well. It took the place of some Greypelt Refuges because it is a faster and, overall, better land (And fits the theme and has a cool illustration)

Another thing to talk about is the addition of Privileged Position to the maybeboard. It is a wonderful card, no doubt, and I could use it. It would help against high direct removal decks. I just have two problems with it:

1- This card is, money-wise, too expensive, and I still don't have it.

2- Don't know what to take out. Well... it could definetly be sideboard but... Would I want to spend that much money on a sideboard card?

adding RTR stuff

ZingiestEnd, 11 years ago

added 4x Sacred Foundry,3xMizzium Mortars, 1xAssemble the Legion,3xMagma Jet with one in the main and should be getting some Stomping Ground later this month and what i took out were the Spear of Heliod,Hall of Triumph, and 1x Purphoros, God of the Forge, 3xAnger of the Gods because mono red is a deck that not a lot of people run at my local store but it is a hard match up so I cut down on those to add removal and not geting double red killed me last weekend so until i get the Stomping Ground i'm going to run Magma Jet
