DemonDragonJ on Nature's Fury

seshiro_of_the_orochi, I did not deliberately choose to put so many legendary creatures in this deck; I simply found them to be what most appealed, to me, and, as for Phoenix Chick, that is a great cad, but I am hoping to keep all of the creatures in this deck multi-colored, so that they gain the maximum possible benefits from Boartusk Liege.

As for Dragonlair Spider, I would like to have a powerful creature with reach, to serve as a nice blocker to discourage my opponents from attacking me.

Came here from your forum post.

This deck has way too many legendaries, but I'll assume you want it that way. So why not add something to use the mana your Radha produces on attack?

Phoenix Chick would do good work here. It synergizes with Radha's attack trigger and also has haste for Samut. And it's quite the house when you target it with Al and Hal. It would overall be a great addition. So replace your two copies of Spidersilk Armor with it, and while you're at it, also take out either Dragonlair Spider or Runes of the Deus for Chicks 3 and 4. That way, you reduce your average MV by a ton and even increase synergy.

Icbrgr on Break out

With the playtesting I've been doing there are 3 main observations I've made so far.

• a blind break out on turn 2+ with no other plays available feels very... "why not" ... it pseudo tutors into a card your already playing/want to see and give it haste... however it does feel bad hitting one drops like Phoenix Chick and Monastery Swiftspear; and so far I've never WANTED to just add a card in hand but the option is nice I guess.

• Regardless of the turn burning tree emissary into break out feels good amd almost feels mandatory to play together. Whether its turn 2 and just populating the board and putting on pressure or after a board wipe to get back into the game amd finish it.

• digging for specific creatures for certain situations like Scavenging Ooze or Cankerbloom can feel really strong.

I really like the Chandra, Acolyte of Flame addition; seems pretty sweet with Phoenix Chick.

I like the addition of the Chandra walker. Her 0 ability you are most likely to use all the time almost always ensures you can pay {R}{R} and get a Phoenix Chick back from the yard. Also I saw very early spoilers and saw we are getting Lightning Helix in the next set. Complete upgrade from Lightning Strike for you but my list needs to rework a little for it.

Hey, I saw your deck a little while ago and then your post on enchantment removal. I had a deck that started like this {technically I got a Red Burn pre con and went from there) and later added white for the enchantment removal. You can find my link here: Naya Burn Pioneer List. It was a private deck so the description is really just notes to myself.

Basically it's a straight up burn list, whatever can deal the most face damage is in. I took out all the wizards because I didn't like having to have a creature out for Wizard's Lightning and splashed white for main deck Boros Charm and Green for Atarka's Command (mainly the deal 3 and buff creatures giving a double buff to prowess creatures but having main deck "Can't Gain Life" is nice too).

I like your deck though! Bonecrusher is a great card I just opted for Eidolon of the Great Revel for more face burn but I could see Slaying Fire dealing 4 easy in your list, mine perhaps not as much especially at 3 mana.

Main deck I reduced it to 2 mana and have the Light Up the Stage to keep going through the deck. Sideboard I have some 3 drops like Chandra which is amazing as you know and I put in Squee, Dubious Monarch for a more removal heavy deck where I can't just board out all my creatures. Phoenix Chick is decent, it could be upgraded but the flying is surprisingly still good evasion to get in that 1 damage for spectacle.

I'd be interested in your thoughts as it seems your sideboard covers all bases and the list seems well built. After a good deal of play testing I found that you can in fact out race some decks and just straight up not run certain removals. I think Greesefang is the quickest graveyard deck and still by T3 we can deal a good amount of face damage with still another turn after their deck goes off.
