Dragon's Rage Channeler
Creature — Human Shaman

Pia-tiful Impulse Control
3 months ago
Keeping a record of the changes I make here.
took out Surge of Salvation for Island Sanctuary
This deck can take some time to assemble a lethal board, and we need a way to dissuade attackers. Surge is a fantastic 'gotcha' combat trick, but it doesn't do much for us if we exile it at sorcery speed. Island sanctuary allows us to trade our card for turn for security; it blocks ground creatures, we print fliers like crazy so flying attackers dont typically scare us, and islandwalk will never matter for us. The card disadvantage isn't nothing, but this deck has plenty of ways to generate advantage from exile.
took out Faithless Looting for Dragon's Rage Channeler
This is simply too much value to ignore. We have 50(!!) noncreature spells in our deck. FL is in there to help generate velocity when we get stuck with our hand, but DRC simply blows it out of the water in terms of card selection. Filling our graveyard is also semi-relevant, as we run Reconstruct History, and having an extra 3/3 flier certainly contributes to our gameplan of smacking our opponents repeatedly.
took out Cursed Mirror for Loran of the Third Path
This swap is somewhat based on goldfishing impressions, which means there's a chance it gets reverted with more reps in a real pod. Cursed Mirror gives us velocity as a ramp piece (albiet at 3 mana), while offering incredible upside to copy something like a Professional Face-Breaker, not to mention your opponents creatures. The issue lies in the makeup of our deck; as currently constructed, we have only 18 creatures, and 10 of them are legendary. This makes the Mirror's upside more of a "hope your opponents have something cool to copy" rather than it's more powerful use of "get one of your effects doubled temporarily" due to the lack of available targets on our own board. While Loran doesn't ramp us, she gives us both interaction and non-exile card draw, both areas that this deck is a bit light on.
took out Cosmic Intervention for Boros Charm
Cosmic intervention was initially included due to Pia's natural synergy with fortell cards. However, the closer you look at situations in which you are likely to need Intervention, you start to realize how next-to-useless that extra Thopter is. Additionally, one of the massive upsides to Intervention is re-enabling ETB effects, which we currently only have 2 of in the deck. Boros Charm on the other hand actually manages to save our board from damage/destroy effects, while also giving us more flexibility. We have a handful of large creatures/effects that benefit from double strike (14 points of lifegain off Sephara, Sky's Blade, anyone?), and if all else fails the 4 life can be meaningful, as this deck tends to deal death by 1000 cuts. Exiling CI off the top at sorcery speed feels like a whiff; exiling BC feels the world is your oyster.
Dropping a Mountain for Land Tax
This is a bit of an experimental swap, as it's possible we actually want to leave more lands in the deck so they can be exiled off the top. This will mean in games where we have LT in our openning hand (the ideal start), we will exile fewer lands and more nonland cards. We'll be playing the lands every turn to be able to play the extra spells, but we'll also miss out on the value of playing lands from exile. That being said, there is undeniable value to be had by being a bit greedy here.

Timeless Domain Zoo

Our paths will cross eventually im sure; The deck is pretty good! just like IRL Modern Zoo its a little bit "too fair" but can certainly win games (i love it)... I see a lot of decks similar to mine and those games are fun... Death's Shadow decks are a fun matchup... but i have yet to beat any Oko, Thief of Crowns or other super degenerate builds yet... Dragon's Rage Channeler/Tarmogoyf feels like All-Stars because the grave setup is pretty consistent. Domain is a little more frustrating though because when it works the deck really goes fast but sometimes games just get stuck with 2-3 land types.

UR Food

scotchtapedsleeves If I may make a guess on draftdump69's behalf, you don't. The Ovalchase Daredevils are supposed to be discard fodder for The Underworld Cookbook, helping reach delirium for Dragon's Rage Channeler and recurring with a stream of food tokens. If a 4/2 body is needed for some extra pressure, you can bring it out with Electrodominance or As Foretold.

Kellan's Delirium-Blade (WOE)
7 months ago
Okay, so the deck slaps. Found myself in a couple instances where Force of Negation would have been great to see, so I think I'm going to add a second copy, possibly a third.
Barrow-Blade, while interesting, isn't seeing the same utilization as the other Equips and will most likely be cut for the above mentioned second copy of FoN.
Esper Sentinel was definitely nice for early game card draw and even got me card draw later on one game while being equipped with Sword of Fire and Ice. It being two types for Delirium is also very relevant, so it will remain the decks 1-drop of choice over Dragon's Rage Channeler.
Overall, I really like how the deck feels and eagerly await to build it one the set actually drops.

Kellan's Delirium-Blade (WOE)

You know, I think you may be onto something with the Esper Sentinel suggestion. It synergizes well with the Kellan, the Fae-Blooded strategy or can even be a great equip target. Not to mention the reasons you gave above. I plan on playtesting this deck a bit on Wednesday online, so I will let you know my findings. It will most likely take the place of the Dragon's Rage Channelers. Skrelv, Defector Mite is intriguing as well. I may attempt to slot a single copy or find a home for it in the side, but definitely noteworthy. As for Saheeli, I feel that she would be a bit clunky in this deck. While she shares Third Path Iconoclast's ability, her -2 can really only make something a copy of Sword of Fire and Ice, which I feel is too narrow. The lower cost of Iconoclast and another possible body to swing with for game makes me want to keep him. Thank you for all the suggestions, it is most appreciated!

In my opinion Preordain is a delirium enabler... something Dragon's Rage Channeler or Unholy Heat would benefit from izzet Murktide Regent decks.... in the same way Serum Visions fell out of favor due to sorcery speed vs the instant speed of Opt/Consider I'm just not sure the scry 2 matters enough... might be worth it for trying to find sideboard cards ASAP but I dont think I'm sold.

Boros Burn Modern
8 months ago
In my Historic Burn deck the Dragon's Rage Channeler works very nicely, so I have a couple in here as well. The Mishra's Bauble I'm also not sure about, it might just become three more damage spells instead. I thought it might be nice as fodder for the Channeler at least.
