RTR Gameday Hobbytown USA -- First Place

Round 1: Fairly horrible werewolf deck, not much to say. Completely owned it... (2-0) Round 2: VS. Blue/White Spirits. Opposing deck was slow, Game 1 I had him on the defensive until he stabilized at 3 life, then he played two Drogskol Captains and would have been on the attack except that I had two Deathrite Shamans and he had a cancel and a temporal mastery in the graveyard. Tapped both Shamans to exile his cards and make him lose 4 life. Game 2 he got the jump on me and I never stabilized. Game 3 he was doing pretty well had good board position until I dropped Elderscale Wurm and he had no removal. (2-1) Round 3: VS. A very good werewolf deck played by a buddy of mine. Game one was pretty tough for both of us. We traded blows until I got out Elderscale Wurm again. He managed to fling a creature and destroy it, but it was too late. Game 2 I was mana screwed. Game 3 he was mana screwed. (2-1) Round 4: VS. G/B zombies. Very tough matchup. Game 1 He beat me pretty badly because of blood artist and geralf's messenger. Game 2 I sideboarded Slaughter Games and got rid of his Geralf's Messengers and Rancors (pretty lucky to draw both Slaughter Games). And game three was really close but in the end Deathrite Shaman and Elderscale Wurm pulled it out till I got a 40/40 Primordial and Jarad. (2-1)

Converted to R/G, added Karns and Oblivion Stones. Now I have a much better match-up vs. Affinity decks.

Major rewrite of the deck, focuses around Epic Experiment now. Combo Blistercoil Weird and Dual Casting with a bunch of instants and sorceries.

FNM #3, Casual and Changes
I suffered a humiliating defeat at last FNM by going 1-3. Two defeats against zombies - it is quite frustrating not to be able to find Angel of Glory's Rise in first 40 cards of your deck. The other time the guy just finished me with Gravecrawler and double Rancor
The casual went even worse I went 2-2 (with a bye). First match was the worst with me loosing against a incredibly slow Epic Experiment deck that did nothing but draw land and extra turns for 10 turns. I actually expected a board sweeper sometimes so I took my Geist-Honored Monk under Fiend Hunter. Long story short I've lost 0-2. Last match was red aggro which I never played against before so it decimated me quickly.
After testing online I came to a conclusion that against current meta Cathedral Sanctifier is much better than Avacyn's Pilgrim It gains you life and stops aggro critters while I build my grave and mana. Avacyn's Pilgrim can sometimes accelerate me into turn 2 Borderland Ranger or Fiend Hunter but it is a horrible topdeck on turn 4 and later.
So 3 Cathedral Sanctifiers go in and 4 Avacyn's Pilgrim go out. 1 Champion of the Parish go in as well. That what Raphael Levy did in his reanimator. I wonder why not play all 4 champions.
Another change is to replace Falkenrath Torturer with Bloodthrone Vampire. It and my other creatures can only be put in graveyard while she is on board so that's great to combat Pillar of Flame and Sever the Bloodline

@ my local no one is running ghost quarts as of yet if i start seeing them again i will be adding basics to the deck as it stands tho i think this deck can pull off the no basics whitch most can't if a single shock hits the field all my m10 lands come in untapped whitch is nice. basicly this deck is meant to feed on the midranges that are seeming to be ever where.

Need some Statements, is it good or got a good idea?
Baddie, 12 years ago
I took out Acidic Slime realizing it doesn't really have a place in here and it was just too expensive.
helushune, 12 years ago
For gameday I made the following changes: -1 Rakdos Cackler | -1 Deadbridge Goliath | +2 Killing Wave
This made the deck a lot stronger when dealing with token decks for the first game in a round.

Changes Under Consideration
ducttapedeckbox, 12 years ago
Whenever someone suggests a change to this deck, I'll post them here. Please comment on these changes! Also, they will not appear on T/O as I will only make the changes in Cockatrice. If they prove to be effective changes, I'll update the deck on T/O.
- As suggested by rckclimber777 - Run Centaur Healer as remove Arbor Elf
- As suggested by well... me - Run Champion of Lambholt over Conjurer's Closet
4-1 Games day.

3-1 FNM
CaptMidnight, 12 years ago
Lost to Green Black zombies in the final.
swaz77, 12 years ago
played at FNM, went 3-2. For some reason mana problems started showing up at the tourney. Never had issues before that. The 2 losses were definitely winnable, but I got mana boned both rounds.
FNM - october 26th
alkazors, 12 years ago
I made top8 on last FNM. I ended up 4th :) The deck did very good. The angel of serenity is a complete bomb once it's on the battlefield. Completly love it ! But I might consider Thalia for my sideboard since the first match (1-2) I lost was to a B/R control deck with Liliana, though it was a very close match. Second game (2-0) I went against a Red deck that never got out, so I exploded him :P. Third game (2-0) was against a B/R rakdos. I landed both game the Angel of Serenity to finish the game. Last game (2-1), it was against a weird deck with huntmaster, olivia.
FNM 26th October

Went 4-0 at FNM this week with this deck but still noticed some key areas that need improving. Occasionally I would struggle for early green mana which is essential to cast the key spells such as Farseek, Thragtusk and Huntmaster in early game. As such I have removed 2 swamps and added 2 forests as my black mana is created by every dual land in the deck and keyrunes. Also i noticed that slaughter games was a great card to have in mainboard, it allowed me to remove the big 4/5 drop threats in most decks i played, including jace and tamiyo in bant/american control decks (also Thragtusk in bant control) and against decks which were very aggro i could remove obvious threats such as Hellrider before they could hit the board with early removal leaving them with nothing to play and me swinging for the win fairly quickly. Staff of Nin proved to work extremely well as the card draw allowed me draw all my threats and pinging allowed me to either kill of tokens, ping a planeswalker, finish off a creature or just ping the opponent. Against control it also led them to them trying to remove the staff over my creatures allowing that extra damage to their life total. I didnt lose a single game where nin hit the board. Im considering upping it to 2 but will playtest throughly first. The creature base has proven to be consistent and good will all my creatures creating some threat on the board but 1 or 2 more Olivias would definatly make this deck work better and possibly 1 more huntmaster. Treasured find was a very interesting card, it worked extremely well in playtesting so i kept it in maindeck for FNM and it worked just as well. Allowing me to pick and chose a card from my graveyard depending on which would be best was very useful, some games i would return a oliva and some a rakdoss return. Once when i was mana screwed i even did it to get back a farseek which ended up allowing me to take the match. This card works extremely well and will not be leaving mainboard anytime soon. Next week ill bring a match by match analysis of the deck.
