Sideboard

BrokenZygoma, 12 years ago

Threw together a rough sideboard with some graveyard hate to stop zombies a bit better, and some more sweepers to help against other various creature decks. Let me know what you think!

Pally goodness

Worldeater, 12 years ago

Changes in this version: -2 Arbor Elf +2 Avacyn's Pilgrim -2 Forest +2 Plains -4 Predator Ooze +4 Silverblade Paladin

I tested replacing Predator Ooze with Silverblade Paladin and can't believe I didn't try it sooner! As much as I love the Ooze the Paladin seems like it's going to work so much better. I'll play this a little more before deciding on Deadbridge Goliath.

Fixes after testing

gavosh, 12 years ago

After some testing it was decided that changes were needed, card draw became an issue and Tamiyo wasn't really benefiting for the decks, the changes are: -2 Goblin Electromancer ... +2x Think Twice -4 Goblin Arsonist .... + 1x Mountain, +1x Island, + 2x Geistflame -4 Thunderbolt .... +3x Snapcaster Mage, +1x Temporal Mastery -2 Tamiyo, the Moon Sage ... 2x Devil's Play -1 Brimstone Volley ... +1x Thunderous Wrath As you can see there have been quite a few changes, this should increase the chances that Guttersnipes and Delver are activated, plus more burn and card draw. Card draw was definitely missing from this deck and Think Twice helps a lot, along with Snapcaster to re-use burn spells.

Playtest #1

TimTheEmo, 12 years ago

Just played a casual game with two friends playing non-standard decks to test run this deck, here's how it played out (funnily enough using a combo posted above) :

Turn 1: Blistercoil Weird

Turn 2: Dual Casting on Blistercoil Weird

Turn 3: Guttersnipe

Turn 4: Cackling Counterpart and copy with Blistercoil Weird to put two copies of the Guttersnipe on to the field and 2 damage to each opponent from Guttersnipe

Turn 5: Searing Spear for 3 + 6 to each opponent from Guttersnipe, Reverberate to copy Searing Spear for 3 + 6 to each opponent for casting Reverberate then Dual Casting to copy Searing Spear for another 3 damage. That's 12 damage (+2 damage last turn), with 9 damage to split as you wish in increments of 3.

Unfortunately as I mentioned my friends were not playing standard, so this is the part where a friend retaliates with Silence and another uses Door to Nothingness -.-

2.1 - Lord of Extinction

axefaktor, 12 years ago

Paleoloth out, Lord of Extinction in. Playing right now. Currently 1-3 against ghaves-generation-1.

JasonD, 12 years ago

Kusari-Gama out for Gorgon Flail! Because Kusari does the damage itself, not the equipped creature, it doesn't stack up well with my deathtouchers. The Flail just adds a whole new level of evil to Olivia and Lyzolda's ping abilities.

Suggestions Added

Trisky, 12 years ago

So here we have the deck at 70 cards. Why? I pitch cards. A lot. Also the suggestions that I have received seem to be very good. This is the first Standard Deck I have built and I don't want the cards to cost me a pretty penny, so the actual cost is small. The sideboard is set up so I can go more red, if I come across a deck that beat me down with aggro. Thanks!

Any suggestions for this deck?

Gates and Demons

W0LF0S, 12 years ago

Stopped considering the Guildgates. They are simply too slow for this deck. Discovered that the Desecration Demons struggle heavily against decks with Populate or have some kind of reliable creature generation. I'm considering either cutting the card or adding Fling to the deck so that I can get use out of the thing.

Fnm results

arkaedes135, 12 years ago

Side board adds

Cutty815, 12 years ago

Added a few cards to the sideboard. Reliquary Tower on the chance of milling my own library using Jace, Memory Adept would be pretty nasty. Added a few cards I need for this deck as well. Tamiyo, the Moon Sage for the no maximum hand size and bouncing cards back to my hand.

murderface726, 12 years ago

3-1 at local tourney. Lost to terminus and supreme verdict combo.

HyzerFlip, 12 years ago

So there's a lot of stuff that needs to go right off the bat, and things I'm entirely lacking in.

For one, I don't have any real answers for Artifacts of Enchantments.

Another, I should probably just splash red because I have that Stromkirk Captain that just wants to be used.

Because these are just the best vampires and other stuff that I had on hand, there's a lot of 1 ofs, and a lot of different Vampire mechanics that don't really always play well together, or don't leave me with the choices I want. I did manage to get something going with a Mark of the Vampire and Gruesome Deformity on a Vampire Nighthawk while I had a few Duskmantle Prowlers out...that was awesome until it was pacified.

I just realized that it doesn't show the acquire board, so here's some things that I looked around at other vampire decks and saw a lot of, and felt like was worth the money, and almost all of these are actual vampires...I'd love to hear more about other types of spells that would help with my deck (I also just threw in some dual lands i found listed in some other decks that weren't expensive when I looked them up)

1x Anowon, the Ruin Sage 1x Blackcleave Cliffs 1x Blood Seeker 1x Bloodline Keeper 1x Bloodlord of Vaasgoth 1x Captivating Vampire 1x Dragonskull Summit 1x Gatekeeper of Malakir 1x Malakir Bloodwitch 1x Rakish Heir 1x Sangromancer 1x Stensia Bloodhall 1x Stromkirk Captain 1x Stromkirk Noble markov blademaster

jbussard, 12 years ago

Well, the white has been added back in in the form of 3 Oblivion Ring's, 3 Silverblade Paladin's, and Angel of Jubilation. So far it is running well with the Axebane Guardian's creating enough white mana to pump out the white spells. Added five plains and 4 Selesnya Guildgate's. Also threw in Worldspine Wurm.

fsc1, 12 years ago

Suggestions are welcome,i'm doing this based most on what I have

atafies, 12 years ago

Update: Standard seems a no go currently, so I just switched this to Extended. Any tips would be great.

Slight Change

BrokenZygoma, 12 years ago

Decided to take out one Goblin Electromancer and one Counterflux, and moved Essence Backlash to the sideboard to make room for 4 Dissipate. I like Dissipate a bit better for general spell counter and Essence Backlash can be if I'm playing creature centered deck.

Game Day

gemste, 12 years ago

I dismantled this deck to combine with my buddy Vortek's jund deck. But I lost to a Geist of Saint Traft and Spectral Flight badly. Blasphemous Act was the only card that saved me. I'm side boarding Vampire Nighthawks just for the geist.
